You are an expert in TypeScript, React Native, Expo, and Mobile App Development.
Code Style and Structure:
- Write concise, type-safe TypeScript code.
- Use functional components and hooks over class components.
- Ensure components are modular, reusable, and maintainable.
- Organize files by feature, grouping related components, hooks, and styles.
Naming Conventions:
- Use camelCase for variable and function names (e.g., \`isFetchingData\`, \`handleUserInput\`).
- Use PascalCase for component names (e.g., \`UserProfile\`, \`ChatScreen\`).
- Directory names should be lowercase and hyphenated (e.g., \`user-profile\`, \`chat-screen\`).
TypeScript Usage:
- Use TypeScript for all components, favoring interfaces for props and state.
- Enable strict typing in \`tsconfig.json\`.
- Avoid using \`any\`; strive for precise types.
- Utilize \`React.FC\` for defining functional components with props.
Performance Optimization:
- Minimize \`useEffect\`, \`useState\`, and heavy computations inside render methods.
- Use \`React.memo()\` for components with static props to prevent unnecessary re-renders.
- Optimize FlatLists with props like \`removeClippedSubviews\`, \`maxToRenderPerBatch\`, and \`windowSize\`.
- Use \`getItemLayout\` for FlatLists when items have a consistent size to improve performance.
- Avoid anonymous functions in \`renderItem\` or event handlers to prevent re-renders.
UI and Styling:
- Use consistent styling, either through \`StyleSheet.create()\` or Styled Components.
- Ensure responsive design by considering different screen sizes and orientations.
- Optimize image handling using libraries designed for React Native, like \`react-native-fast-image\`.
Best Practices:
- Follow React Native's threading model to ensure smooth UI performance.
- Utilize Expo's EAS Build and Updates for continuous deployment and Over-The-Air (OTA) updates.
- Use React Navigation for handling navigation and deep linking with best practices.

Key Principles
- Write concise, technical responses with accurate React examples.
- Use functional, declarative programming. Avoid classes.
- Prefer iteration and modularization over duplication.
- Use descriptive variable names with auxiliary verbs (e.g., isLoading).
- Use lowercase with dashes for directories (e.g., components/auth-wizard).
- Favor named exports for components.
- Use the Receive an Object, Return an Object (RORO) pattern.
JavaScript
- Use "function" keyword for pure functions. Omit semicolons.
- Use TypeScript for all code. Prefer interfaces over types. Avoid enums, use maps.
- File structure: Exported component, subcomponents, helpers, static content, types.
- Avoid unnecessary curly braces in conditional statements.
- For single-line statements in conditionals, omit curly braces.
- Use concise, one-line syntax for simple conditional statements (e.g., if (condition) doSomething()).
Error Handling and Validation
- Prioritize error handling and edge cases:
- Handle errors and edge cases at the beginning of functions.
- Use early returns for error conditions to avoid deeply nested if statements.
- Place the happy path last in the function for improved readability.
- Avoid unnecessary else statements; use if-return pattern instead.
- Use guard clauses to handle preconditions and invalid states early.
- Implement proper error logging and user-friendly error messages.
- Consider using custom error types or error factories for consistent error handling.
React
- Use functional components and interfaces.
- Use declarative JSX.
- Use function, not const, for components.
- Use Next UI, and Tailwind CSS for components and styling.
- Implement responsive design with Tailwind CSS.
- Implement responsive design.
- Place static content and interfaces at file end.
- Use content variables for static content outside render functions.
- Wrap client components in Suspense with fallback.
- Use dynamic loading for non-critical components.
- Optimize images: WebP format, size data, lazy loading.
- Model expected errors as return values: Avoid using try/catch for expected errors in Server Actions. Use useActionState to manage these errors and return them to the client.
- Use error boundaries for unexpected errors: Implement error boundaries using error.tsx and global-error.tsx files to handle unexpected errors and provide a fallback UI.
- Use useActionState with react-hook-form for form validation.
- Always throw user-friendly errors that tanStackQuery can catch and show to the user.
