# Review & Refine
Before finalizing any code changes, review your implementation against these quality standards:
## Core Principles
### DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)
- Extract duplicated logic into reusable functions or hooks
- If the same code appears in multiple places, consolidate it
- Create helper functions at appropriate scope (component-level, module-level, or utility files)
- Avoid copy-pasting code blocks
### Code Reduction
- Remove unnecessary code, comments, and abstractions
- Prefer built-in solutions over custom implementations
- Consolidate similar logic
- Remove dead code and unused imports
- Question if every line of code is truly needed
## React Best Practices
### Component Design
- Keep components focused on a single responsibility
- Extract complex logic into custom hooks
- Prefer composition over prop drilling
- Use children props and render props when appropriate
- Keep component files under 300 lines when possible
### Hooks Usage
- Follow Rules of Hooks (only call at top level, only in React functions)
- Extract complex `useEffect` logic into custom hooks
- Use `useMemo` and `useCallback` only when you have a measured performance issue
- Declare dependencies arrays correctly - don't ignore exhaustive-deps warnings
- Keep `useEffect` focused on a single concern
### State Management
- Colocate state as close as possible to where it's used
- Lift state only when necessary
- Use `useReducer` for complex state logic with multiple sub-values
- Avoid derived state - compute values during render instead
- Don't store values in state that can be computed from props
### Event Handlers
- Name event handlers with `handle` prefix (e.g., `handleClick`, `handleSubmit`)
- Extract complex event handler logic into separate functions
- Avoid inline arrow functions in JSX when they contain complex logic
## TypeScript Best Practices
### Type Safety
- Prefer type inference over explicit types when possible
- Use `const` assertions for literal types
- Avoid `any` - use `unknown` if type is truly unknown
- Use discriminated unions for complex conditional logic
- Leverage type guards and narrowing
### Interface & Type Usage
- Use existing types from `@formbricks/types` - don't recreate them
- Prefer `interface` for object shapes that might be extended
- Prefer `type` for unions, intersections, and mapped types
- Define types close to where they're used unless they're shared
- Export types from index files for shared types
### Type Assertions
- Avoid type assertions (`as`) when possible
- Use type guards instead of assertions
- Only assert when you have more information than TypeScript
## Code Organization
### Separation of Concerns
- Separate business logic from UI rendering
- Extract API calls into separate functions or modules
- Keep data transformation separate from component logic
- Use custom hooks for stateful logic that doesn't render UI
### Function Clarity
- Functions should do one thing well
- Name functions clearly and descriptively
- Keep functions small (aim for under 20 lines)
- Extract complex conditionals into named boolean variables or functions
- Avoid deep nesting (max 3 levels)
### File Structure
- Group related functions together
- Order declarations logically (types → hooks → helpers → component)
- Keep imports organized (external → internal → relative)
- Consider splitting large files by concern
## Additional Quality Checks
### Performance
- Don't optimize prematurely - measure first
- Avoid creating new objects/arrays/functions in render unnecessarily
- Use keys properly in lists (stable, unique identifiers)
- Lazy load heavy components when appropriate
### Accessibility
- Use semantic HTML elements
- Include ARIA labels where needed
- Ensure keyboard navigation works
- Check color contrast and focus states
### Error Handling
- Handle error states in components
- Provide user feedback for failed operations
- Use error boundaries for component errors
- Log errors appropriately (avoid swallowing errors silently)
### Naming Conventions
- Use descriptive names (avoid abbreviations unless very common)
- Boolean variables/props should sound like yes/no questions (`isLoading`, `hasError`, `canEdit`)
- Arrays should be plural (`users`, `choices`, `items`)
- Event handlers: `handleX` in components, `onX` for props
- Constants in UPPER_SNAKE_CASE only for true constants
### Code Readability
- Prefer early returns to reduce nesting
- Use destructuring to make code clearer
- Break complex expressions into named variables
- Add comments only when code can't be made self-explanatory
- Use whitespace to group related code
### Testing Considerations
- Write code that's easy to test (pure functions, clear inputs/outputs)
- Avoid hard-to-mock dependencies when possible
- Keep side effects at the edges of your code
## Review Checklist
Before submitting your changes, ask yourself:
1. **DRY**: Is there any duplicated logic I can extract?
2. **Clarity**: Would another developer understand this code easily?
3. **Simplicity**: Is this the simplest solution that works?
4. **Types**: Am I using TypeScript effectively?
5. **React**: Am I following React idioms and best practices?
6. **Performance**: Are there obvious performance issues?
7. **Separation**: Are concerns properly separated?
8. **Testing**: Is this code testable?
9. **Maintenance**: Will this be easy to change in 6 months?
10. **Deletion**: Can I remove any code and still accomplish the goal?
## When to Apply This Rule
Apply this rule:
- After implementing a feature but before marking it complete
- When you notice your code feels "messy" or complex
- Before requesting code review
- When you see yourself copy-pasting code
- After receiving feedback about code quality
Don't let perfect be the enemy of good, but always strive for:
**Simple, readable, maintainable code that does one thing well.**
