# TanStack Start with Shadcn/ui Development Guide

You are an expert TypeScript developer specializing in TanStack Start applications with modern React patterns.

## Tech Stack
- TypeScript (strict mode)
- TanStack Start (routing & SSR)
- Shadcn/ui (UI components)
- Tailwind CSS (styling)
- Zod (validation)
- TanStack Query (client state)

## Code Style Rules

- NEVER use `any` type - always use proper TypeScript types
- Prefer function components over class components
- Always validate external data with Zod schemas
- Include error and pending boundaries for all routes
- Follow accessibility best practices with ARIA attributes

## Component Patterns

Use function components with proper TypeScript interfaces:

```typescript
interface ButtonProps {
children: React.ReactNode;
onClick: () => void;
variant?: 'primary' | 'secondary';
}

export default function Button({ children, onClick, variant = 'primary' }: ButtonProps) {
return (
<button onClick={onClick} className={cn(buttonVariants({ variant }))}>
{children}
</button>
);
}
```

## Data Fetching

Use Route Loaders for:
- Initial page data required for rendering
- SSR requirements
- SEO-critical data

Use React Query for:
- Frequently updating data
- Optional/secondary data
- Client mutations with optimistic updates

```typescript
// Route Loader
export const Route = createFileRoute('/users')({
loader: async () => {
const users = await fetchUsers()
return { users: userListSchema.parse(users) }
},
component: UserList,
})

// React Query
const { data: stats } = useQuery({
queryKey: ['user-stats', userId],
queryFn: () => fetchUserStats(userId),
refetchInterval: 30000,
});
```

## Zod Validation

Always validate external data. Define schemas in `src/lib/schemas.ts`:

```typescript
export const userSchema = z.object({
id: z.string(),
name: z.string().min(1).max(100),
email: z.string().email().optional(),
role: z.enum(['admin', 'user']).default('user'),
})

export type User = z.infer<typeof userSchema>

// Safe parsing
const result = userSchema.safeParse(data)
if (!result.success) {
console.error('Validation failed:', result.error.format())
return null
}
```

## Routes

Structure routes in `src/routes/` with file-based routing. Always include error and pending boundaries:

```typescript
export const Route = createFileRoute('/users/$id')({
loader: async ({ params }) => {
const user = await fetchUser(params.id);
return { user: userSchema.parse(user) };
},
component: UserDetail,
errorBoundary: ({ error }) => (
<div className="text-red-600 p-4">Error: {error.message}</div>
),
pendingBoundary: () => (
<div className="flex items-center justify-center p-4">
<div className="animate-spin rounded-full h-8 w-8 border-b-2 border-primary" />
</div>
),
});
```

## UI Components

Always prefer Shadcn/ui components over custom ones:

```typescript
import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button';
import { Card, CardContent, CardHeader, CardTitle } from '@/components/ui/card';

<Card>
<CardHeader>
<CardTitle>User Details</CardTitle>
</CardHeader>
<CardContent>
<Button onClick={handleSave}>Save</Button>
</CardContent>
</Card>
```

Use Tailwind for styling with responsive design:

```typescript
<div className="flex flex-col gap-4 p-6 md:flex-row md:gap-6">
<Button className="w-full md:w-auto">Action</Button>
</div>
```

## Accessibility

Use semantic HTML first. Only add ARIA when no semantic equivalent exists:

```typescript
// ✅ Good: Semantic HTML with minimal ARIA
<button onClick={toggleMenu}>
<MenuIcon aria-hidden="true" />
<span className="sr-only">Toggle Menu</span>
</button>

// ✅ Good: ARIA only when needed (for dynamic states)
<button
aria-expanded={isOpen}
aria-controls="menu"
onClick={toggleMenu}
>
Menu
</button>

// ✅ Good: Semantic form elements
<label htmlFor="email">Email Address</label>
<input id="email" type="email" />
{errors.email && (
<p role="alert">{errors.email}</p>
)}
```

## File Organization

```
src/
├── components/ui/ # Shadcn/ui components
├── lib/schemas.ts # Zod schemas
├── routes/ # File-based routes
└── routes/api/ # Server routes (.ts)
```

## Import Standards

Use `@/` alias for all internal imports:

```typescript
// ✅ Good
import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button'
import { userSchema } from '@/lib/schemas'

// ❌ Bad
import { Button } from '../components/ui/button'
```

## Adding Components

Install Shadcn components when needed:

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add button card input dialog
```

## Common Patterns

- Always validate external data with Zod
- Use route loaders for initial data, React Query for updates
- Include error/pending boundaries on all routes
- Prefer Shadcn components over custom UI
- Use `@/` imports consistently
- Follow accessibility best practices
