+# Vercel React Best Practices
+
+Comprehensive performance optimization guide for React and Next.js applications, maintained by Vercel. Contains 45 rules across 8 categories, prioritized by impact to guide automated refactoring and code generation.
+
+## When to Apply
+
+Reference these guidelines when:
+- Writing new React components or Next.js pages
+- Implementing data fetching (client or server-side)
+- Reviewing code for performance issues
+- Refactoring existing React/Next.js code
+- Optimizing bundle size or load times
+
+## Rule Categories by Priority
+
+| Priority | Category | Impact | Prefix |
+|----------|----------|--------|--------|
+| 1 | Eliminating Waterfalls | CRITICAL | `async-` |
+| 2 | Bundle Size Optimization | CRITICAL | `bundle-` |
+| 3 | Server-Side Performance | HIGH | `server-` |
+| 4 | Client-Side Data Fetching | MEDIUM-HIGH | `client-` |
+| 5 | Re-render Optimization | MEDIUM | `rerender-` |
+| 6 | Rendering Performance | MEDIUM | `rendering-` |
+| 7 | JavaScript Performance | LOW-MEDIUM | `js-` |
+| 8 | Advanced Patterns | LOW | `advanced-` |
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+### 1. Eliminating Waterfalls (CRITICAL)
+
+- `async-defer-await` - Move await into branches where actually used
+- `async-parallel` - Use Promise.all() for independent operations
+- `async-dependencies` - Use better-all for partial dependencies
+- `async-api-routes` - Start promises early, await late in API routes
+- `async-suspense-boundaries` - Use Suspense to stream content
+
+### 2. Bundle Size Optimization (CRITICAL)
+
+- `bundle-barrel-imports` - Import directly, avoid barrel files
+- `bundle-dynamic-imports` - Use next/dynamic for heavy components
+- `bundle-defer-third-party` - Load analytics/logging after hydration
+- `bundle-conditional` - Load modules only when feature is activated
+- `bundle-preload` - Preload on hover/focus for perceived speed
+
+### 3. Server-Side Performance (HIGH)
+
+- `server-cache-react` - Use React.cache() for per-request deduplication
+- `server-cache-lru` - Use LRU cache for cross-request caching
+- `server-serialization` - Minimize data passed to client components
+- `server-parallel-fetching` - Restructure components to parallelize fetches
+- `server-after-nonblocking` - Use after() for non-blocking operations
+
+### 4. Client-Side Data Fetching (MEDIUM-HIGH)
+
+- `client-swr-dedup` - Use SWR for automatic request deduplication
+- `client-event-listeners` - Deduplicate global event listeners
+
+### 5. Re-render Optimization (MEDIUM)
+
+- `rerender-defer-reads` - Don't subscribe to state only used in callbacks
+- `rerender-memo` - Extract expensive work into memoized components
+- `rerender-dependencies` - Use primitive dependencies in effects
+- `rerender-derived-state` - Subscribe to derived booleans, not raw values
+- `rerender-functional-setstate` - Use functional setState for stable callbacks
+- `rerender-lazy-state-init` - Pass function to useState for expensive values
+- `rerender-transitions` - Use startTransition for non-urgent updates
+
+### 6. Rendering Performance (MEDIUM)
+
+- `rendering-animate-svg-wrapper` - Animate div wrapper, not SVG element
+- `rendering-content-visibility` - Use content-visibility for long lists
+- `rendering-hoist-jsx` - Extract static JSX outside components
+- `rendering-svg-precision` - Reduce SVG coordinate precision
+- `rendering-hydration-no-flicker` - Use inline script for client-only data
+- `rendering-activity` - Use Activity component for show/hide
+- `rendering-conditional-render` - Use ternary, not && for conditionals
+
+### 7. JavaScript Performance (LOW-MEDIUM)
+
+- `js-batch-dom-css` - Group CSS changes via classes or cssText
+- `js-index-maps` - Build Map for repeated lookups
+- `js-cache-property-access` - Cache object properties in loops
+- `js-cache-function-results` - Cache function results in module-level Map
+- `js-cache-storage` - Cache localStorage/sessionStorage reads
+- `js-combine-iterations` - Combine multiple filter/map into one loop
+- `js-length-check-first` - Check array length before expensive comparison
+- `js-early-exit` - Return early from functions
+- `js-hoist-regexp` - Hoist RegExp creation outside loops
+- `js-min-max-loop` - Use loop for min/max instead of sort
+- `js-set-map-lookups` - Use Set/Map for O(1) lookups
+- `js-tosorted-immutable` - Use toSorted() for immutability
+
+### 8. Advanced Patterns (LOW)
+
+- `advanced-event-handler-refs` - Store event handlers in refs
+- `advanced-use-latest` - useLatest for stable callback refs
+
+## How to Use
+
+Read individual rule files for detailed explanations and code examples:
+
+```
+rules/async-parallel.md
+rules/bundle-barrel-imports.md
+rules/_sections.md
+```
+
+Each rule file contains:
+- Brief explanation of why it matters
+- Incorrect code example with explanation
+- Correct code example with explanation
+- Additional context and references

+## Store Event Handlers in Refs
+
+Store callbacks in refs when used in effects that shouldn't re-subscribe on callback changes.
+
+**Incorrect (re-subscribes on every render):**
+
+```tsx
+function useWindowEvent(event: string, handler: () => void) {
+  useEffect(() => {
+    window.addEventListener(event, handler)
+    return () => window.removeEventListener(event, handler)
+  }, [event, handler])
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (stable subscription):**
+
+```tsx
+function useWindowEvent(event: string, handler: () => void) {
+  const handlerRef = useRef(handler)
+  useEffect(() => {
+    handlerRef.current = handler
+  }, [handler])
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const listener = () => handlerRef.current()
+    window.addEventListener(event, listener)
+    return () => window.removeEventListener(event, listener)
+  }, [event])
+}
+```
+
+**Alternative: use `useEffectEvent` if you're on latest React:**
+
+```tsx
+import { useEffectEvent } from 'react'
+
+function useWindowEvent(event: string, handler: () => void) {
+  const onEvent = useEffectEvent(handler)
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    window.addEventListener(event, onEvent)
+    return () => window.removeEventListener(event, onEvent)
+  }, [event])
+}
+```
+
+`useEffectEvent` provides a cleaner API for the same pattern: it creates a stable function reference that always calls the latest version of the handler.

+
+## Prevent Waterfall Chains in API Routes
+
+In API routes and Server Actions, start independent operations immediately, even if you don't await them yet.
+
+**Incorrect (config waits for auth, data waits for both):**
+
+```typescript
+export async function GET(request: Request) {
+  const session = await auth()
+  const config = await fetchConfig()
+  const data = await fetchData(session.user.id)
+  return Response.json({ data, config })
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (auth and config start immediately):**
+
+```typescript
+export async function GET(request: Request) {
+  const sessionPromise = auth()
+  const configPromise = fetchConfig()
+  const session = await sessionPromise
+  const [config, data] = await Promise.all([
+    configPromise,
+    fetchData(session.user.id)
+  ])
+  return Response.json({ data, config })
+}
+```
+
+For operations with more complex dependency chains, use `better-all` to automatically maximize parallelism (see Dependency-Based Parallelization).

+---
+
+## Defer Await Until Needed
+
+Move `await` operations into the branches where they're actually used to avoid blocking code paths that don't need them.
+
+**Incorrect (blocks both branches):**
+
+```typescript
+async function handleRequest(userId: string, skipProcessing: boolean) {
+  const userData = await fetchUserData(userId)
+  
+  if (skipProcessing) {
+    // Returns immediately but still waited for userData
+    return { skipped: true }
+  }
+  
+  // Only this branch uses userData
+  return processUserData(userData)
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (only blocks when needed):**
+
+```typescript
+async function handleRequest(userId: string, skipProcessing: boolean) {
+  if (skipProcessing) {
+    // Returns immediately without waiting
+    return { skipped: true }
+  }
+  
+  // Fetch only when needed
+  const userData = await fetchUserData(userId)
+  return processUserData(userData)
+}
+```
+
+**Another example (early return optimization):**
+
+```typescript
+// Incorrect: always fetches permissions
+async function updateResource(resourceId: string, userId: string) {
+  const permissions = await fetchPermissions(userId)
+  const resource = await getResource(resourceId)
+  
+  if (!resource) {
+    return { error: 'Not found' }
+  }
+  
+  if (!permissions.canEdit) {
+    return { error: 'Forbidden' }
+  }
+  
+  return await updateResourceData(resource, permissions)
+}
+
+// Correct: fetches only when needed
+async function updateResource(resourceId: string, userId: string) {
+  const resource = await getResource(resourceId)
+  
+  if (!resource) {
+    return { error: 'Not found' }
+  }
+  
+  const permissions = await fetchPermissions(userId)
+  
+  if (!permissions.canEdit) {
+    return { error: 'Forbidden' }
+  }
+  
+  return await updateResourceData(resource, permissions)
+}
+```
+
+This optimization is especially valuable when the skipped branch is frequently taken, or when the deferred operation is expensive.

+
+## Strategic Suspense Boundaries
+
+Instead of awaiting data in async components before returning JSX, use Suspense boundaries to show the wrapper UI faster while data loads.
+
+**Incorrect (wrapper blocked by data fetching):**
+
+```tsx
+async function Page() {
+  const data = await fetchData() // Blocks entire page
+  
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <div>Sidebar</div>
+      <div>Header</div>
+      <div>
+        <DataDisplay data={data} />
+      </div>
+      <div>Footer</div>
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+The entire layout waits for data even though only the middle section needs it.
+
+**Correct (wrapper shows immediately, data streams in):**
+
+```tsx
+function Page() {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <div>Sidebar</div>
+      <div>Header</div>
+      <div>
+        <Suspense fallback={<Skeleton />}>
+          <DataDisplay />
+        </Suspense>
+      </div>
+      <div>Footer</div>
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+
+async function DataDisplay() {
+  const data = await fetchData() // Only blocks this component
+  return <div>{data.content}</div>
+}
+```
+
+Sidebar, Header, and Footer render immediately. Only DataDisplay waits for data.
+
+**Alternative (share promise across components):**
+
+```tsx
+function Page() {
+  // Start fetch immediately, but don't await
+  const dataPromise = fetchData()
+  
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <div>Sidebar</div>
+      <div>Header</div>
+      <Suspense fallback={<Skeleton />}>
+        <DataDisplay dataPromise={dataPromise} />
+        <DataSummary dataPromise={dataPromise} />
+      </Suspense>
+      <div>Footer</div>
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+
+function DataDisplay({ dataPromise }: { dataPromise: Promise<Data> }) {
+  const data = use(dataPromise) // Unwraps the promise
+  return <div>{data.content}</div>
+}
+
+function DataSummary({ dataPromise }: { dataPromise: Promise<Data> }) {
+  const data = use(dataPromise) // Reuses the same promise
+  return <div>{data.summary}</div>
+}
+```
+
+Both components share the same promise, so only one fetch occurs. Layout renders immediately while both components wait together.
+
+**When NOT to use this pattern:**
+
+- Critical data needed for layout decisions (affects positioning)
+- SEO-critical content above the fold
+- Small, fast queries where suspense overhead isn't worth it
+- When you want to avoid layout shift (loading → content jump)
+
+**Trade-off:** Faster initial paint vs potential layout shift. Choose based on your UX priorities.

+title: Avoid Barrel File Imports
+impact: CRITICAL
+impactDescription: 200-800ms import cost, slow builds
+tags: bundle, imports, tree-shaking, barrel-files, performance
+---
+
+## Avoid Barrel File Imports
+
+Import directly from source files instead of barrel files to avoid loading thousands of unused modules. **Barrel files** are entry points that re-export multiple modules (e.g., `index.js` that does `export * from './module'`).
+
+Popular icon and component libraries can have **up to 10,000 re-exports** in their entry file. For many React packages, **it takes 200-800ms just to import them**, affecting both development speed and production cold starts.
+
+**Why tree-shaking doesn't help:** When a library is marked as external (not bundled), the bundler can't optimize it. If you bundle it to enable tree-shaking, builds become substantially slower analyzing the entire module graph.
+
+**Incorrect (imports entire library):**
+
+```tsx
+import { Check, X, Menu } from 'lucide-react'
+// Loads 1,583 modules, takes ~2.8s extra in dev
+// Runtime cost: 200-800ms on every cold start
+
+import { Button, TextField } from '@mui/material'
+// Loads 2,225 modules, takes ~4.2s extra in dev
+```
+
+**Correct (imports only what you need):**
+
+```tsx
+import Check from 'lucide-react/dist/esm/icons/check'
+import X from 'lucide-react/dist/esm/icons/x'
+import Menu from 'lucide-react/dist/esm/icons/menu'
+// Loads only 3 modules (~2KB vs ~1MB)
+
+import Button from '@mui/material/Button'
+import TextField from '@mui/material/TextField'
+// Loads only what you use
+```
+
+**Alternative (Next.js 13.5+):**
+
+```js
+// next.config.js - use optimizePackageImports
+module.exports = {
+  experimental: {
+    optimizePackageImports: ['lucide-react', '@mui/material']
+  }
+}
+
+// Then you can keep the ergonomic barrel imports:
+import { Check, X, Menu } from 'lucide-react'
+// Automatically transformed to direct imports at build time
+```
+
+Direct imports provide 15-70% faster dev boot, 28% faster builds, 40% faster cold starts, and significantly faster HMR.
+
+Libraries commonly affected: `lucide-react`, `@mui/material`, `@mui/icons-material`, `@tabler/icons-react`, `react-icons`, `@headlessui/react`, `@radix-ui/react-*`, `lodash`, `ramda`, `date-fns`, `rxjs`, `react-use`.

+
+## Batch DOM CSS Changes
+
+Avoid changing styles one property at a time. Group multiple CSS changes together via classes or `cssText` to minimize browser reflows.
+
+**Incorrect (multiple reflows):**
+
+```typescript
+function updateElementStyles(element: HTMLElement) {
+  // Each line triggers a reflow
+  element.style.width = '100px'
+  element.style.height = '200px'
+  element.style.backgroundColor = 'blue'
+  element.style.border = '1px solid black'
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (add class - single reflow):**
+
+```typescript
+// CSS file
+.highlighted-box {
+  width: 100px;
+  height: 200px;
+  background-color: blue;
+  border: 1px solid black;
+}
+
+// JavaScript
+function updateElementStyles(element: HTMLElement) {
+  element.classList.add('highlighted-box')
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (change cssText - single reflow):**
+
+```typescript
+function updateElementStyles(element: HTMLElement) {
+  element.style.cssText = `
+    width: 100px;
+    height: 200px;
+    background-color: blue;
+    border: 1px solid black;
+  `
+}
+```
+
+**React example:**
+
+```tsx
+// Incorrect: changing styles one by one
+function Box({ isHighlighted }: { isHighlighted: boolean }) {
+  const ref = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null)
+  
+  useEffect(() => {
+    if (ref.current && isHighlighted) {
+      ref.current.style.width = '100px'
+      ref.current.style.height = '200px'
+      ref.current.style.backgroundColor = 'blue'
+    }
+  }, [isHighlighted])
+  
+  return <div ref={ref}>Content</div>
+}
+
+// Correct: toggle class
+function Box({ isHighlighted }: { isHighlighted: boolean }) {
+  return (
+    <div className={isHighlighted ? 'highlighted-box' : ''}>
+      Content
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+Prefer CSS classes over inline styles when possible. Classes are cached by the browser and provide better separation of concerns.

+## Cache Repeated Function Calls
+
+Use a module-level Map to cache function results when the same function is called repeatedly with the same inputs during render.
+
+**Incorrect (redundant computation):**
+
+```typescript
+function ProjectList({ projects }: { projects: Project[] }) {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      {projects.map(project => {
+        // slugify() called 100+ times for same project names
+        const slug = slugify(project.name)
+        
+        return <ProjectCard key={project.id} slug={slug} />
+      })}
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (cached results):**
+
+```typescript
+// Module-level cache
+const slugifyCache = new Map<string, string>()
+
+function cachedSlugify(text: string): string {
+  if (slugifyCache.has(text)) {
+    return slugifyCache.get(text)!
+  }
+  const result = slugify(text)
+  slugifyCache.set(text, result)
+  return result
+}
+
+function ProjectList({ projects }: { projects: Project[] }) {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      {projects.map(project => {
+        // Computed only once per unique project name
+        const slug = cachedSlugify(project.name)
+        
+        return <ProjectCard key={project.id} slug={slug} />
+      })}
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**Simpler pattern for single-value functions:**
+
+```typescript
+let isLoggedInCache: boolean | null = null
+
+function isLoggedIn(): boolean {
+  if (isLoggedInCache !== null) {
+    return isLoggedInCache
+  }
+  
+  isLoggedInCache = document.cookie.includes('auth=')
+  return isLoggedInCache
+}
+
+// Clear cache when auth changes
+function onAuthChange() {
+  isLoggedInCache = null
+}
+```
+
+Use a Map (not a hook) so it works everywhere: utilities, event handlers, not just React components.

+
+## Early Length Check for Array Comparisons
+
+When comparing arrays with expensive operations (sorting, deep equality, serialization), check lengths first. If lengths differ, the arrays cannot be equal.
+
+In real-world applications, this optimization is especially valuable when the comparison runs in hot paths (event handlers, render loops).
+
+**Incorrect (always runs expensive comparison):**
+
+```typescript
+function hasChanges(current: string[], original: string[]) {
+  // Always sorts and joins, even when lengths differ
+  return current.sort().join() !== original.sort().join()
+}
+```
+
+Two O(n log n) sorts run even when `current.length` is 5 and `original.length` is 100. There is also overhead of joining the arrays and comparing the strings.
+
+**Correct (O(1) length check first):**
+
+```typescript
+function hasChanges(current: string[], original: string[]) {
+  // Early return if lengths differ
+  if (current.length !== original.length) {
+    return true
+  }
+  // Only sort/join when lengths match
+  const currentSorted = current.toSorted()
+  const originalSorted = original.toSorted()
+  for (let i = 0; i < currentSorted.length; i++) {
+    if (currentSorted[i] !== originalSorted[i]) {
+      return true
+    }
+  }
+  return false
+}
+```
+
+This new approach is more efficient because:
+- It avoids the overhead of sorting and joining the arrays when lengths differ
+- It avoids consuming memory for the joined strings (especially important for large arrays)
+- It avoids mutating the original arrays
+- It returns early when a difference is found

+```
+
+Still sorts unnecessarily when only min/max are needed.

+
+```typescript
+function getLatestProject(projects: Project[]) {
+  if (projects.length === 0) return null
+  
+  let latest = projects[0]
+  
+  for (let i = 1; i < projects.length; i++) {

+```
+
+Single pass through the array, no copying, no sorting.
+
+**Alternative (Math.min/Math.max for small arrays):**
+
+```typescript
+const numbers = [5, 2, 8, 1, 9]
+const min = Math.min(...numbers)
+const max = Math.max(...numbers)
+```
+
+This works for small arrays but can be slower for very large arrays due to spread operator limitations. Use the loop approach for reliability.

+
+## Use toSorted() Instead of sort() for Immutability
+
+`.sort()` mutates the array in place, which can cause bugs with React state and props. Use `.toSorted()` to create a new sorted array without mutation.
+
+**Incorrect (mutates original array):**
+
+```typescript
+function UserList({ users }: { users: User[] }) {
+  // Mutates the users prop array!
+  const sorted = useMemo(
+    () => users.sort((a, b) => a.name.localeCompare(b.name)),

+  const sorted = useMemo(

+    [users]
+  )
+  return <div>{sorted.map(renderUser)}</div>
+}
+```
+
+**Why this matters in React:**
+
+1. Props/state mutations break React's immutability model - React expects props and state to be treated as read-only
+2. Causes stale closure bugs - Mutating arrays inside closures (callbacks, effects) can lead to unexpected behavior
+
+**Browser support (fallback for older browsers):**
+
+`.toSorted()` is available in all modern browsers (Chrome 110+, Safari 16+, Firefox 115+, Node.js 20+). For older environments, use spread operator:
+
+```typescript
+// Fallback for older browsers
+const sorted = [...items].sort((a, b) => a.value - b.value)
+```
+
+**Other immutable array methods:**
+
+- `.toSorted()` - immutable sort
+- `.toReversed()` - immutable reverse
+- `.toSpliced()` - immutable splice
+- `.with()` - immutable element replacement

+Many browsers don't have hardware acceleration for CSS3 animations on SVG elements. Wrap SVG in a `<div>` and animate the wrapper instead.
+
+**Incorrect (animating SVG directly - no hardware acceleration):**
+
+```tsx
+function LoadingSpinner() {
+  return (
+    <svg 
+      className="animate-spin"
+      width="24" 
+      height="24" 
+      viewBox="0 0 24 24"
+    >
+      <circle cx="12" cy="12" r="10" stroke="currentColor" />
+    </svg>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (animating wrapper div - hardware accelerated):**
+
+```tsx
+function LoadingSpinner() {
+  return (
+    <div className="animate-spin">
+      <svg 
+        width="24" 
+        height="24" 
+        viewBox="0 0 24 24"
+      >
+        <circle cx="12" cy="12" r="10" stroke="currentColor" />
+      </svg>
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+This applies to all CSS transforms and transitions (`transform`, `opacity`, `translate`, `scale`, `rotate`). The wrapper div allows browsers to use GPU acceleration for smoother animations.

+
+## Prevent Hydration Mismatch Without Flickering
+
+When rendering content that depends on client-side storage (localStorage, cookies), avoid both SSR breakage and post-hydration flickering by injecting a synchronous script that updates the DOM before React hydrates.
+
+**Incorrect (breaks SSR):**
+
+```tsx
+function ThemeWrapper({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
+  // localStorage is not available on server - throws error
+  const theme = localStorage.getItem('theme') || 'light'
+  
+  return (
+    <div className={theme}>
+      {children}
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+Server-side rendering will fail because `localStorage` is undefined.
+
+**Incorrect (visual flickering):**
+
+```tsx
+function ThemeWrapper({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
+  const [theme, setTheme] = useState('light')
+  
+  useEffect(() => {
+    // Runs after hydration - causes visible flash
+    const stored = localStorage.getItem('theme')
+    if (stored) {
+      setTheme(stored)
+    }
+  }, [])
+  
+  return (
+    <div className={theme}>
+      {children}
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+Component first renders with default value (`light`), then updates after hydration, causing a visible flash of incorrect content.
+
+**Correct (no flicker, no hydration mismatch):**
+
+```tsx
+function ThemeWrapper({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
+  return (
+    <>
+      <div id="theme-wrapper">
+        {children}
+      </div>
+      <script
+        dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{
+          __html: `
+            (function() {
+              try {
+                var theme = localStorage.getItem('theme') || 'light';
+                var el = document.getElementById('theme-wrapper');
+                if (el) el.className = theme;
+              } catch (e) {}
+            })();
+          `,
+        }}
+      />
+    </>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+The inline script executes synchronously before showing the element, ensuring the DOM already has the correct value. No flickering, no hydration mismatch.
+
+This pattern is especially useful for theme toggles, user preferences, authentication states, and any client-only data that should render immediately without flashing default values.

+---
+
+## Use Functional setState Updates
+
+When updating state based on the current state value, use the functional update form of setState instead of directly referencing the state variable. This prevents stale closures, eliminates unnecessary dependencies, and creates stable callback references.
+
+**Incorrect (requires state as dependency):**
+
+```tsx
+function TodoList() {
+  const [items, setItems] = useState(initialItems)
+  
+  // Callback must depend on items, recreated on every items change
+  const addItems = useCallback((newItems: Item[]) => {
+    setItems([...items, ...newItems])
+  }, [items])  // ❌ items dependency causes recreations
+  
+  // Risk of stale closure if dependency is forgotten
+  const removeItem = useCallback((id: string) => {
+    setItems(items.filter(item => item.id !== id))
+  }, [])  // ❌ Missing items dependency - will use stale items!
+  
+  return <ItemsEditor items={items} onAdd={addItems} onRemove={removeItem} />
+}
+```
+
+The first callback is recreated every time `items` changes, which can cause child components to re-render unnecessarily. The second callback has a stale closure bug—it will always reference the initial `items` value.
+
+**Correct (stable callbacks, no stale closures):**
+
+```tsx
+function TodoList() {
+  const [items, setItems] = useState(initialItems)
+  
+  // Stable callback, never recreated
+  const addItems = useCallback((newItems: Item[]) => {
+    setItems(curr => [...curr, ...newItems])
+  }, [])  // ✅ No dependencies needed
+  
+  // Always uses latest state, no stale closure risk
+  const removeItem = useCallback((id: string) => {
+    setItems(curr => curr.filter(item => item.id !== id))
+  }, [])  // ✅ Safe and stable
+  
+  return <ItemsEditor items={items} onAdd={addItems} onRemove={removeItem} />
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+
+1. **Stable callback references** - Callbacks don't need to be recreated when state changes
+2. **No stale closures** - Always operates on the latest state value
+3. **Fewer dependencies** - Simplifies dependency arrays and reduces memory leaks
+4. **Prevents bugs** - Eliminates the most common source of React closure bugs
+
+**When to use functional updates:**
+
+- Any setState that depends on the current state value
+- Inside useCallback/useMemo when state is needed
+- Event handlers that reference state
+- Async operations that update state
+
+**When direct updates are fine:**
+
+- Setting state to a static value: `setCount(0)`
+- Setting state from props/arguments only: `setName(newName)`
+- State doesn't depend on previous value
+
+**Note:** If your project has [React Compiler](https://react.dev/learn/react-compiler) enabled, the compiler can automatically optimize some cases, but functional updates are still recommended for correctness and to prevent stale closure bugs.

+## Use Lazy State Initialization
+
+Pass a function to `useState` for expensive initial values. Without the function form, the initializer runs on every render even though the value is only used once.

+
+```tsx
+function FilteredList({ items }: { items: Item[] }) {
+  // buildSearchIndex() runs on EVERY render, even after initialization

+  const [query, setQuery] = useState('')
+  
+  // When query changes, buildSearchIndex runs again unnecessarily
+  return <SearchResults index={searchIndex} query={query} />
+}
+
+function UserProfile() {
+  // JSON.parse runs on every render
+  const [settings, setSettings] = useState(
+    JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('settings') || '{}')
+  )
+  
+  return <SettingsForm settings={settings} onChange={setSettings} />
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (runs only once):**
+
+```tsx
+function FilteredList({ items }: { items: Item[] }) {
+  // buildSearchIndex() runs ONLY on initial render
+  const [searchIndex, setSearchIndex] = useState(() => buildSearchIndex(items))
+  const [query, setQuery] = useState('')

+  return <SearchResults index={searchIndex} query={query} />
+}
+
+function UserProfile() {

+    return stored ? JSON.parse(stored) : {}
+  })
+  
+  return <SettingsForm settings={settings} onChange={setSettings} />
+}
+```
+
+Use lazy initialization when computing initial values from localStorage/sessionStorage, building data structures (indexes, maps), reading from the DOM, or performing heavy transformations.
+
+For simple primitives (`useState(0)`), direct references (`useState(props.value)`), or cheap literals (`useState({})`), the function form is unnecessary.

+## Cross-Request LRU Caching
+
+`React.cache()` only works within one request. For data shared across sequential requests (user clicks button A then button B), use an LRU cache.
+
+**Implementation:**
+
+```typescript
+import { LRUCache } from 'lru-cache'
+
+const cache = new LRUCache<string, any>({
+  max: 1000,
+  ttl: 5 * 60 * 1000  // 5 minutes
+})
+
+export async function getUser(id: string) {
+  const cached = cache.get(id)
+  if (cached) return cached
+
+  const user = await db.user.findUnique({ where: { id } })
+  cache.set(id, user)
+  return user
+}
+
+// Request 1: DB query, result cached
+// Request 2: cache hit, no DB query
+```
+
+Use when sequential user actions hit multiple endpoints needing the same data within seconds.
+
+**With Vercel's [Fluid Compute](https://vercel.com/docs/fluid-compute):** LRU caching is especially effective because multiple concurrent requests can share the same function instance and cache. This means the cache persists across requests without needing external storage like Redis.
+
+**In traditional serverless:** Each invocation runs in isolation, so consider Redis for cross-process caching.

+  const header = await fetchHeader()
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <div>{header}</div>
+      <Sidebar />
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+
+async function Sidebar() {
+  const items = await fetchSidebarItems()
+  return <nav>{items.map(renderItem)}</nav>
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (both fetch simultaneously):**
+
+```tsx
+async function Header() {
+  const data = await fetchHeader()
+  return <div>{data}</div>
+}
+
+async function Sidebar() {
+  const items = await fetchSidebarItems()

+    <div>
+      <Header />
+      <Sidebar />
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**Alternative with children prop:**
+
+```tsx
+async function Layout({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
+  const header = await fetchHeader()
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <div>{header}</div>
+      {children}
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+
+async function Sidebar() {
+  const items = await fetchSidebarItems()
+  return <nav>{items.map(renderItem)}</nav>
+}
+
+export default function Page() {
+  return (
+    <Layout>
+      <Sidebar />
+    </Layout>
+  )
+}
+```

+## Minimize Serialization at RSC Boundaries
+
+The React Server/Client boundary serializes all object properties into strings and embeds them in the HTML response and subsequent RSC requests. This serialized data directly impacts page weight and load time, so **size matters a lot**. Only pass fields that the client actually uses.
+
+**Incorrect (serializes all 50 fields):**
+
+```tsx
+async function Page() {
+  const user = await fetchUser()  // 50 fields
+  return <Profile user={user} />
+}
+
+'use client'
+function Profile({ user }: { user: User }) {
+  return <div>{user.name}</div>  // uses 1 field
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (serializes only 1 field):**
+
+```tsx
+async function Page() {
+  const user = await fetchUser()
+  return <Profile name={user.name} />
+}
+
+'use client'
+function Profile({ name }: { name: string }) {
+  return <div>{name}</div>
+}
+```
