AntiPattern

Conditional Context in Hooks

conditional-hook-context

Hook and query execution break or become inconsistent when code conditionally builds parameters or calls composables outside the component lifecycle, causing missing injection context and stale/incorrect cache updates. Developers must align hook invocation and query enabling with the required inputs.

MATCHESSolution

Use Zustand’s recommended store context provider pattern so the store can be created after props/data are available. In the provider, fetch API data in a useEffect, then initialize the store (via a ref) with the fetched results, ensuring components only access the store after it’s created.

MATCHESSolution

Update the `useEffect` hook to use a dependency on the `projectIdStorage` value — const projectIdStorage = useProjectStore((state) => state.projectIdStorage);. Tension: Both `onServerCode` and `onServerRecommendation` have a stale closure over the initial `projectIdStorage` state. Outcome: so that the server event handlers have the current project id value.

MATCHESSolution

Refactor so that hooks are called only inside the custom hook or at the component level, and return plain functions that do not call hooks (e.g., compute/set needed state without invoking hooks in the returned callback). Alternatively restructure the custom hook to expose non-hook handlers or move the hook invocation to component initialization and pass the resulting setters.

MATCHESSolution

Just make your component a Client Component — React hooks work only in Client Components.

MATCHESSolution

handle a scenario when the code is fine but backend went offline — prefetching data with usePrefetchQuery. Tension: prefetch works.

MATCHESSolution

useQuery has enabled option. Rewrite your custom hook like this: — return useQuery({. Outcome: enabled,.

MATCHESSolution

make sure that the form component is only rendered after data is ready — Decouple the data fetching component from the form component. Tension: background refetches will not be reflected. Outcome: if your cache already has stale data when `App` mounts, you'll get that data in your state.

MATCHESSolution

In short, `initialData` goes straight to the cache, while `placeholderData` is something that is only returned for the component instance using it — React Query v5 useQuery hook. Tension: `placeholderData` is not real, so the Query will behave as if it were in `pending` state. Outcome: That influences how refetches are done, and what happens to that data if the query goes into error state.

MATCHESSolution

Call `trpc...useQuery` at the component top level, destructure `{ data }`, and then use `useEffect` (or derived rendering) to react to changes in `data`. Optionally control execution with query options (e.g., enabling based on `activeChildId`) instead of wrapping the hook call in `useEffect`.

MATCHESSolution

I think you can achieve that by using the `ensureQueryData` function. Tension: This way you first check on cache for the given key, and if nothing is found it runs the function and returns the result. Outcome: Another option could be to by making a custom hook use `getQueryData` to read the cache and if nothing is found it will return undefined so you could manage to call to your api.

MATCHESSolution

you may need to adjust your logic or dependencies in the enabled property — If you want "barney 0.5" to be logged every time useQuery is executed. Outcome: ensure it reflects the desired behavior.

MATCHESSolution

Create a memoized router context object from the app context and call `router.invalidate()` in a `useEffect` when that memoized object changes, so `beforeLoad`/`loader` rerun with the updated data.

MATCHESSolution

Wrap you components that rely on React Query data — React Query data. Outcome: with Suspense and HydrationBoundary.

MATCHESSolution

enabled: bookingId !== null, — The hook takes bookingId as parameter. Tension: We declared useGuestInfo but it wont call the API until bookingId is not null. Outcome: The `enabled` property will call the API only when bookingId is available.

MATCHESSolution

You can add your own custom context by adding it to the scope. — Add this right after you initialize the SDK, so that it is on the scope used whenever events are generated from your app. Tension: They aren't as useful for bits of information that apply throughout the app. Outcome: You should also set `o.IsGlobalModeEnabled = true` in your options - since this is a client app.

MATCHESSolution

Avoid stale imports: — Instead of `from hooks import func`, use. Tension: `from hooks import func`. Outcome: import hooks hooks.func().

MATCHESSolution

use conditional steps based on the input. Tension: Instead of trying to dynamically reference secrets.

MATCHESSolution

Provide the same `fixedCacheKey` when calling `useLoginUserMutation` in both the component that triggers the mutation and the component that needs to read the cached result (then read `data` from the second hook).

MATCHESSolution

Call each RTK Query hook with the exact same query arguments (or none, if the endpoint takes none) that the fulfilled requests use, and ensure components read the correct hook data/selector result corresponding to those cache entries.

MATCHESSolution

Pass `pollingInterval` in the second argument of the query hook (e.g., `useGetDogsQuery(undefined, { pollingInterval })`, using `undefined` or `SkipToken` as the first argument when the endpoint takes no args).

MATCHESSolution

Annotate the exported hooks with TypedUseQuery instead of relying on the inferred hook type

MATCHESSolution

Keep two listeners or refactor so one wrapper function registers both listeners that call the same shared effect logic; alternatively, create a single predicate/matcher that encompasses both conditions if feasible.

MATCHESSolution

`useCallback` needs to be used — to be used as a callback and thus prevent the unnecessary re-renders. Tension: `memo` can't prevent `ExpensiveComponent` from being re-rendered. Outcome: const handleRender = useCallback(() => {...}, []);.

MATCHESSolution

Use useContext(LevelContext) in the consumer as shown; only use LevelContext.Provider where you need to define the value for child components. Prefer the React 19 context-as-a-provider patterns when available.

MATCHESSolution

Call all hooks unconditionally at the top of the component (e.g., move useParams() above the ready/user checks) and only render conditional UI afterward; optionally use nested routes for subpages instead of relying on conditional logic.

MATCHESSolution

Another way is by using `React context` — If you can't modify your `LegacyComponent`, then you need another way of passing data from parent to child. Tension: props is one way for doing this. Another way is by using `React context`. Outcome: const DataContext = React.createContext().

MATCHESSolution

Add type the test function in the `TestProvider` component — using the context type. Tension: aligning the types. Outcome: accepts the generic type from the hook.

MATCHESSolution

Update the Context state from within the SignalR handler by invoking context methods (e.g., incorporating/using the patrols and update functions directly in the SignalR call path) so the global state is actually changed when messages arrive.

MATCHESSolution

Use the render-prop approach when you want the parent to control the rendered UI based on data/state produced by the component (e.g., isEnabled/variables from a hook); otherwise consider a hook-based API, but render props remain a common and valid pattern.

MATCHESSolution

Universal hook set for MCP behavioral activation. Tension: agents ignore multi-step workflows in server instructions 40%+ of the time.
