React Design Patterns Study Guide 📚

A comprehensive learning resource for mastering React design patterns with modern tooling and best practices.

🎯 Project Purpose

This project serves as a comprehensive bible for studying React design patterns. It's designed to help developers:

• Learn fundamental design patterns in React ecosystem
• Practice implementing patterns with modern React features
• Understand real-world applications and use cases
• Experiment with different pattern variations and combinations
• Build a solid foundation for advanced React development

🚀 What You'll Learn

Design Patterns Covered

✅ Currently Available

• Observable Pattern - State management and event-driven architecture
  • Custom observable implementation
  • Subscription management
  • Real-time updates across components
  • Visual debugging tools

🔄 Coming Soon

• Factory Pattern - Object creation abstractions
• Strategy Pattern - Algorithm selection and switching
• Command Pattern - Action encapsulation and undo/redo
• Decorator Pattern - Feature enhancement without modification
• Singleton Pattern - Global state management
• Observer Pattern - Event-driven communication
• Builder Pattern - Complex object construction

Modern React Features

• React 19 - Latest hooks and concurrent features
• Next.js 15 - App Router and server components
• TypeScript - Type-safe pattern implementations
• Tailwind CSS v4 - Modern styling with CSS custom properties

🛠️ Tech Stack

Technology	Version	Purpose
Next.js	15.3.4	React framework with App Router
React	19.1.0	UI library with latest features
TypeScript	5.x	Type safety and better DX
Tailwind CSS	v4.1.10	Utility-first CSS framework
pnpm	10.8.1+	Fast, disk space efficient package manager

Additional Tools

• class-variance-authority - Type-safe variant management
• Turbopack - Ultra-fast bundler for development
• ESLint - Code quality and consistency
