new-component

Scaffold a new React component following project conventions.

Input: Component name and location. Examples:

• /new-component StatusBadge in components/app → src/components/app/status-badge.tsx
• /new-component LiveCounter in components/app/overview/components → in the overview subdirectory

Steps

1. Determine file paths

   • Component: src/<location>/<kebab-case-name>.tsx
   • Test: src/<location>/<kebab-case-name>.test.tsx
   • Component names are PascalCase exports, file names are kebab-case

2. Create the component file with:

   • Typed props interface (<Name>Props)
   • shadcn/ui imports for any interactive elements (Button, Card, Select, Dialog, etc.)
   • @/ path alias for all project imports
   • Icons from lucide-react if needed
   • framer-motion for animations if needed

3. Create the co-located test file with:

   • Import from @/test/test-utils (not @testing-library/react directly)
   • Basic render test + one behavioral test
   • Query by role, not by test ID

4. Register in barrel export if one exists in the target directory's index.ts

5. Verify — run the test: npx vitest run <test-file>

Component Template

import { ComponentProp } from '@/components/ui/button'; // shadcn as needed

interface MyComponentProps {
  // typed props
}

export function MyComponent({ ...props }: MyComponentProps) {
  return (
    // JSX using shadcn/ui primitives for interactive elements
  );
}

Mandatory Rules

• All interactive elements (buttons, inputs, selects, toggles, dialogs) MUST use shadcn/ui components from @/components/ui/
• Native HTML <button>, <select>, <input> are only allowed for non-interactive semantic markup or documented exceptions
• Use Tailwind classes for styling — no inline styles, no CSS modules
• Use the project's extended color tokens: success, warning, danger, panel, muted (defined in tailwind.config.js)
