SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Audit a React/TypeScript frontend to identify hardcoded mock data and wire views to live data sources such as Supabase or REST APIs, ensuring proper loading/empty states, skeletons, and a polished shell.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Audit views for mock data patterns and replace them with data hooks that fetch live data
  • Wire components to Supabase or REST endpoints with robust loading, empty, and error states
  • Apply consumer-grade shell polish (transitions, scrollbars, font rendering, topbar/sidebar refinements) for production readiness

Quick Start

Run the audit script on your src directory and wire a sample view to live data using the provided hooks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I replace hardcoded mock data with live data in a React frontend?

To replace hardcoded mock data with live data, you audit your React components to locate static arrays and substitute them with custom data hooks fetching from Supabase or REST APIs. This process implements proper loading, empty, and error states to ensure robust UI rendering.

How do I implement loading, empty, and error states when wiring Supabase to React?

Implementing loading, empty, and error states requires creating data hooks that fetch from Supabase and conditionally render skeleton placeholders, empty state messages, or error boundaries based on the query status. This ensures a polished user experience across all data fetching phases.

What is the best way to add skeleton states to React list and detail views?

The best way to add skeleton states is to build data hooks that detect the loading phase and render placeholder UI components mimicking the final layout. This shell polish technique applies to both list grids and detail panels while fetching live data.

Does this approach work with both Supabase and standard REST API endpoints?

Yes, wiring React UIs to live data supports both Supabase and standard REST API endpoints. The implementation uses custom TypeScript hooks to manage data fetching, ensuring proper three-state handling regardless of your chosen backend architecture.

Can I use TypeScript hooks to audit and fix mock data in my existing React app?

Yes, you can use TypeScript hooks to audit and fix mock data by running an audit script on your source directory. This identifies static mock patterns and replaces them with typed live data hooks for Supabase or REST endpoints.

What UX refinements are needed when wiring React views to live data sources?

Wiring React views to live data sources requires adding shell polish refinements like smooth transitions, custom scrollbars, optimized font rendering, and topbar or sidebar adjustments. These consumer-grade updates ensure production readiness alongside the new three-state handling.
