React Component Generator

When asked to create a React component, follow this process:

Step 1: Understand Requirements

Before generating code, clarify:

• Component name and purpose
• Props the component should accept
• Whether it needs internal state
• If it should fetch data or receive it via props

Step 2: Generate Component

Create a functional component with:

• TypeScript interface for all props
• Tailwind CSS for styling (no CSS modules)
• Semantic HTML elements
• ARIA attributes for accessibility
• JSDoc comment describing the component

Component Template

interface ${ComponentName}Props {
  /** Description of each prop */
}

/** Brief description of what this component does */
export function ${ComponentName}({ ...props }: ${ComponentName}Props) {
  return (
    <div className="...">
      {/* Implementation */}
    </div>
  );
}

Step 3: Add Tests

Generate a co-located test file (ComponentName.test.tsx) with:

• Render test (component mounts without errors)
• Props test (renders correctly with different props)
• Interaction test (click handlers, form inputs work)

Rules

• Always use function declarations, not arrow functions, for components
• Always export components as named exports, not default
• Props interface must be exported separately
• Use clsx or template literals for conditional classes, not ternaries in className
• Never use any type — define proper types or use unknown
• Include data-testid attributes on interactive elements
