SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

React SPA codebases often drift into “vibe-coded” structure where components mix UI, network calls, and business logic, making testing difficult and refactors risky.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Clear directory structure: Separate UI components, reusable hooks, and HTTP/network services to keep render logic clean and predictable.
  • Enforced data flow: Route pages orchestrate via hooks, hooks manage state and side effects, and services own all API access.
  • Safety rules and anti-pattern detection: Prevent critical issues like API calls during render, token storage in localStorage, and scattered unvalidated environment reads.
  • Use Case: When inheriting a React SPA that has fetch calls inside components and inconsistent folder organization, apply this skill’s rules to reorganize code so network logic becomes testable services and stateful behavior becomes reusable hooks.

Quick Start

Use the React Single Page Application skill by asking your coding agent to reorganize an existing SPA to match the required directories and separation rules, then propose a phased refactor plan that removes API calls from render and moves network logic into services.

FAQPage Schema
How do I refactor a React SPA that has API calls mixed inside components?

To refactor a React SPA with mixed API calls, route pages should orchestrate via hooks, hooks must manage state and side effects, and services should own all HTTP access. This enforces correct data flow and moves network logic into testable services.

Why does my React SPA architecture make refactoring so risky?

React SPA refactoring becomes risky when UI, state logic, and network code are mixed together in components. Separating components, hooks, and services into distinct directories keeps render logic clean and prevents unintended side effects during updates.

What's the best way to prevent API calls during render in a React single page application?

The best way to prevent API calls during render in a React SPA is enforcing strict architectural boundaries where services own all network access, and hooks manage side effects rather than triggering fetches directly within component render cycles.

How do I securely manage environment configuration and tokens in a React SPA?

Secure React SPA environment configuration requires typed and centralized environment reads, while strictly banning critical anti-patterns like storing authentication tokens in client-side localStorage to prevent security vulnerabilities.

Can I use this React SPA separation approach for an inherited JavaScript project with inconsistent folder organization?

Yes, you can apply these separation rules to inherited JavaScript or TypeScript React projects. It standardizes directory structures by separating UI components, reusable hooks, and services, allowing you to propose a phased refactor plan to reorganize code.
