data-always-ready

What problem does it solve?

React components often render before asynchronous data arrives, causing flicker, errors, or cascading loading logic. The Data Always Ready pattern enforces that parent components guarantee data exists before rendering children, leading to cleaner components and a smoother user experience.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Guarded rendering: Parents verify data exists before rendering child components.
• Prop-driven restoration: Data is passed via props to hooks so they can initialize deterministically.
• Architectural clarity: Screens own loading guards and provide a single source of truth for data availability.

Quick Start

Implement a simple guard in a parent screen that fetches data and renders a child component only when data is non-null. Pass the loaded data down as props to child components and instantiate hooks with initial state received from the parent.
