Best Practices
Guidelines and recommendations for working with SM Supports projects.
Code Quality
- Use TypeScript for type safety and better developer experience
- Follow ESLint and Prettier configurations for consistent code style
- Write meaningful commit messages following conventional commits
- Keep components small, focused, and reusable
- Document complex logic and API interfaces
Performance Optimization
- Optimize images using Next.js Image component
- Implement lazy loading for below-the-fold content
- Use React Server Components where possible
- Minimize bundle size by code splitting and tree shaking
- Cache API responses and static assets appropriately
Security
- Never commit sensitive data or API keys to version control
- Use environment variables for configuration
- Implement proper input validation and sanitization
- Use HTTPS for all production deployments
- Keep dependencies updated to patch security vulnerabilities
Accessibility (A11y)
- Use semantic HTML elements (nav, main, article, etc.)
- Provide alt text for all images
- Ensure proper color contrast ratios
- Make interactive elements keyboard accessible
- Test with screen readers and accessibility tools
Troubleshooting
Common issues and their solutions.
Build Errors
Problem: Build fails with TypeScript or ESLint errors
Solution:
- Run
npm run lintto identify issues - Check for missing dependencies in package.json
- Ensure all imports are correctly typed
- Clear
.nextfolder and rebuild
API Connection Issues
Problem: API endpoints returning errors or timing out
Solution:
- Verify environment variables are set correctly
- Check API rate limits and quotas
- Review CORS settings for cross-origin requests
- Monitor network tab in browser DevTools
Performance Issues
Problem: Slow page loads or poor Lighthouse scores
Solution:
- Optimize images (use WebP format, proper sizing)
- Enable lazy loading for images and components
- Minimize JavaScript bundle size
- Use edge caching for API responses
- Implement proper loading states
