React Composition Patterns

Composition patterns for building flexible, maintainable React components. Avoid

boolean prop proliferation by using compound components, lifting state, and

composing internals. These patterns make codebases easier for both humans and AI

agents to work with as they scale.

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

Refactoring components with many boolean props

Building reusable component libraries

Designing flexible component APIs

Reviewing component architecture

Working with compound components or context providers

Rule Categories by Priority

Priority

Quick Reference

1. Component Architecture (HIGH)

architecture-avoid-boolean-props - Don't add boolean props to customize

behavior; use composition

architecture-compound-components - Structure complex components with shared

context

2. State Management (MEDIUM)

state-decouple-implementation - Provider is the only place that knows how

state is managed

state-context-interface - Define generic interface with state, actions, meta

for dependency injection

state-lift-state - Move state into provider components for sibling access

3. Implementation Patterns (MEDIUM)

patterns-explicit-variants - Create explicit variant components instead of

boolean modes

patterns-children-over-render-props - Use children for composition instead

of renderX props

4. React 19 APIs (MEDIUM)

⚠️ React 19+ only. Supabase Studio currently uses React 18 — skip these patterns in Studio code.

react19-no-forwardref - Don't use forwardRef; use use() instead of useContext()
