SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Writing custom React hooks that integrate seamlessly with a three-layer Epic architecture is complex and repetitive. It standardizes hooks for state management, server actions, optimistic updates, and validation, reducing boilerplate and ensuring consistency across frontend components.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces a single backend entry point (action or route) per hook to simplify reasoning and testing.
  • Provides optimistic UI updates with rollback support to improve perceived performance.
  • Validates input with Zod schemas and keeps rendering side effects isolated from server logic.
  • Supports standard and streaming routes, including cancellation for long-running tasks.
  • Encourages organizing hooks under app/[role]/[page]/behaviors/[behavior-name]/hooks/use-<behavior-name>.ts.

Quick Start

Create a new hook file under app/[role]/[page]/behaviors/[behavior-name]/hooks/use-<behavior-name>.ts and implement it following the Epic three-layer architecture.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create React hooks with optimistic updates and server actions?▼

To create React hooks with server actions and optimistic updates, implement them using a three-layer Epic architecture that isolates server logic, validates inputs with Zod, and provides rollback support to improve perceived UI performance.

What is the best way to structure custom React hooks for state management?▼

The best way to structure custom React hooks for state management is placing them under app/[role]/[page]/behaviors/[behavior-name]/hooks/ and enforcing a single backend entry point per hook to simplify testing and reasoning.

Can I use Zod validation with React hooks for server actions?▼

Yes, you can integrate Zod schemas to validate inputs within React hooks, keeping rendering side effects isolated from server logic while maintaining strict validation before executing backend actions or routes.

How do I handle streaming route cancellation in React hooks?▼

Handle streaming route cancellation in React hooks by implementing built-in cancellation support for long-running tasks, ensuring the hook manages loading and error states while preventing orphaned requests during component unmount.

Why should React hooks avoid direct database access in frontend applications?▼

React hooks should avoid direct database access because the Epic architecture enforces a strict rule to call exactly one backend entry point per hook, ensuring server actions or routes handle data fetching while the hook manages state.

Does write-hook work with standard routes or only streaming routes?▼

write-hook works with both standard and streaming routes, applying validation, loading states, and optimistic UI updates while adding specific cancellation support required for long-running streaming tasks.
