Best Practices

Component Template

'use client';

import React from 'react';
import { Container, Row, Col } from 'react-bootstrap';
import styles from './ComponentName.module.css';

interface ComponentNameProps {
    title?: string;
    children?: React.ReactNode;
    className?: string;
    variant?: 'primary' | 'secondary';
    onAction?: () => void;
}

export const ComponentName: React.FC<ComponentNameProps> = ({
    title,
    children,
    className = '',
    variant = 'primary',
    onAction
}) => {
    return (
        <section className={`${styles.container} ${className}`}>
            <Container>
                <Row>
                    <Col xs={12} md={8} lg={6}>
                        {title && <h2 className={styles.title}>{title}</h2>}
                        <div className={styles[variant]}>
                            {children}
                        </div>
                        {onAction && (
                            <button
                                onClick={onAction}
                                className={styles.actionButton}
                                aria-label="Perform action"
                            >
                                Action
                            </button>
                        )}
                    </Col>
                </Row>
            </Container>
        </section>
    );
};

Responsive Grid Patterns

// Mobile: full width, Tablet: half, Desktop: quarter
<Container fluid>
    <Row>
        <Col xs={12} sm={6} lg={3}>
            <Card />
        </Col>
    </Row>
</Container>

// Content + Sidebar Layout
<Row>
    <Col xs={12} lg={8}>
        <MainContent />
    </Col>
    <Col xs={12} lg={4} className="d-none d-lg-block">
        <Sidebar />
    </Col>
</Row>

Responsive Typography

/* Base (Mobile) */
body {
    font-size: 16px;
}
h1 {
    font-size: 1.75rem;
}

/* Tablet */
@media (min-width: 768px) {
    h1 {
        font-size: 2rem;
    }
}

/* Desktop */
@media (min-width: 1024px) {
    h1 {
        font-size: 2.5rem;
    }
}

Navigation Implementation

// Desktop mega menu
@media (min-width: 1024px) {
    .megaMenu {
        display: block;
        position: absolute;
    }
}

// Tablet slide panel
@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px) {
    .slidePanel {
        transform: translateX(-100%);
        &.active {
            transform: translateX(0);
        }
    }
}

// Mobile overlay
@media (max-width: 767px) {
    .mobileOverlay {
        position: fixed;
        width: 100%;
        height: 100vh;
    }
}

Page Template Structure

import { Metadata } from 'next';
import { Container, Row, Col } from 'react-bootstrap';
import Hero from '@/components/sections/Hero';
import ContentSection from '@/components/sections/ContentSection';

export const metadata: Metadata = {
    title: 'Page Title | Site Name',
    description: 'Page description for SEO',
    keywords: 'relevant, keywords, here'
};

export default function PageName() {
    return (
        <main>
            <Hero
                title="Page Title"
                subtitle="Engaging subtitle"
                ctaText="Take Action"
                ctaLink="/action"
            />

            <ContentSection>
                <Container>
                    <Row>
                        <Col lg={8} className="mx-auto">
                            <h2>Section Title</h2>
