Code Implementation Guidelines

General Rules

1. **Early Returns**: Use early returns whenever possible to improve readability

2. **React Exports**: Always export the default component at the end of the file

3. **Styling**: Style elements only with Tailwind classes; do not use CSS or style tags

4. **Naming Conventions**:

- Use descriptive names for variables and functions

- Event handlers should start with `handle` (e.g., `handleClick`, `handleKeyDown`)

- Function names should start with a verb

- Boolean variables should start with verbs (e.g., `isLoading`, `hasError`, `canDelete`)

- Use camelCase for variables and functions

- Use uppercase for environment variables

- Spell out words fully and use correct spelling

5. **Accessibility**: Add accessibility attributes to interactive elements (e.g., `tabindex="0"`, `aria-label`, `onClick`, `onKeyDown`)

6. **Functions**: Prefer arrow functions to function declarations and define types when possible

interface UserProfileProps {

userId: string;

isEditable: boolean;

}

// Helper functions

const formatDate = (date: Date): string => {

// implementation

};

// Subcomponents

const ProfileHeader = ({ name }: { name: string }) => {

return <header className="flex items-center gap-4">{name}</header>;

};

// Main component

const UserProfile = ({ userId, isEditable }: UserProfileProps) => {

if (!userId) return null;

const handleSave = () => {

// implementation

};

return (

<div className="container mx-auto p-4">

<ProfileHeader name="User Name" />

</div>

);

};

export default UserProfile;
