## Component Size Limits

| Metric | Target | Warning | Critical |
|--------|--------|---------|----------|
| Lines of code | < 150 | 150-300 | > 300 |
| Imports | < 20 | 20-35 | > 35 |
| useState calls | < 4 | 4-6 | > 6 |
| useEffect calls | < 3 | 3-5 | > 5 |

If exceeded: Stop and suggest decomposition.

## Hook Patterns

### AbortController for async useEffect
```typescript
useEffect(() => {
    const controller = new AbortController();
    const fetchData = async () => {
        try {
            const result = await api.getData({ signal: controller.signal });
            setData(result);
        } catch (err) {
            if (!controller.signal.aborted) {
                setError(err);
            }
        }
    };
    fetchData();
    return () => controller.abort();
}, [dependency]);
```

### useWatch over watch()
```typescript
// ✅ Good - reactive, no full re-render
const value = useWatch({ name: 'field', control });

// ❌ Bad - causes full form re-render
const value = methods.watch();
```

### Memoize schemas
```typescript
// ✅ Good
const schema = useMemo(() => yup.object({
    field: yup.string().required()
}), []);

// ❌ Bad - recreated every render
const schema = yup.object({ field: yup.string().required() });
```

### No components inside render
```typescript
// ✅ Good - defined outside or memoized
const InfoTrigger = memo(({ onClick }) => (
    <button onClick={onClick}>Info</button>
));

// ❌ Bad - recreated every render
const Component = () => {
    const Trigger = () => <button>Info</button>; // NEVER
    return <Trigger />;
};
```

## File Structure
```
ComponentName/
├── ComponentName.tsx         # Logic (< 100 lines)
├── ComponentName.styled.ts   # Styles only
├── ComponentName.types.ts    # Types/interfaces
├── ComponentName.test.tsx    # Tests
└── hooks/
    └── useComponentData.ts   # Extracted logic
```

## Component Structure

```typescript
// ✅ REQUIRED STRUCTURE
import { useState, useEffect, useMemo } from 'react';
import * as S from './Component.styled';
import { ComponentProps } from './Component.types';

/**
 * Brief component description
 */
export const Component = ({ prop1, prop2 }: ComponentProps): JSX.Element => {
    // 1. Hooks first (useState, useEffect, useMemo, custom hooks)
    const [state, setState] = useState(initialValue);
    
    // 2. Derived values
    const derivedValue = useMemo(() => compute(state), [state]);
    
    // 3. Event handlers
    const handleClick = () => {
        setState(newValue);
    };
    
    // 4. Effects
    useEffect(() => {
        // side effects
    }, [dependencies]);
    
    // 5. Render
    return (
        <S.Container>
            <S.Content onClick={handleClick}>
                {derivedValue}
            </S.Content>
        </S.Container>
    );
};
```

## Naming Conventions

| Type | Convention | Example |
|------|------------|---------|
| Components | PascalCase | UserProfile |
| Event handlers (internal) | handle* | handleClick |
| Event handlers (props) | on* | onClick |
| Boolean props | is*, has*, can* | isActive |
| Styled components | S.* | S.Container |
| Types/Interfaces | PascalCase with I prefix | IUserProfile |

## Prop Patterns

```typescript
// ✅ Destructure props
const Component = ({ name, isActive }: Props) => { ... };

// ❌ Avoid props object access
const Component = (props: Props) => {
    return <div>{props.name}</div>;  // Less readable
};
```

## Conditional Rendering

```typescript
// ✅ Early returns for guard clauses
if (!data) return <Loading />;
if (error) return <Error message={error} />;

return <Content data={data} />;

// ✅ Ternary for inline conditions
{isActive ? <Active /> : <Inactive />}

// ✅ Logical AND for conditional display
{hasItems && <ItemList items={items} />}
