Framework-Specific Patterns
Quick reference for identifying routes, components, state, and APIs across frontend frameworks.
React (CRA / Vite)
| Aspect |
Where to Look |
| Routes |
react-router-dom — <Route path="..."> or createBrowserRouter |
| Components |
.tsx / .jsx files, default exports |
| State |
Redux (store/), Zustand, Jotai, Recoil, React Context |
| API |
axios, fetch, TanStack Query (useQuery), SWR (useSWR) |
| Forms |
React Hook Form, Formik, Ant Design Form, custom useState |
| i18n |
react-i18next, react-intl |
Next.js (App Router)
| Aspect |
Where to Look |
| Routes |
app/ directory — page.tsx = route, folders = segments |
| Layouts |
layout.tsx per directory |
| Loading |
loading.tsx, error.tsx, not-found.tsx |
| API routes |
app/api/ or pages/api/ (Pages Router) |
| Server actions |
"use server" directive |
| Middleware |
middleware.ts at root |
Next.js (Pages Router)
| Aspect |
Where to Look |
| Routes |
pages/ directory — filename = route |
| Data fetching |
getServerSideProps, getStaticProps, getStaticPaths |
| API routes |
pages/api/ |
Vue 3
| Aspect |
Where to Look |
| Routes |
vue-router — routes array in router/index.ts |
| Components |
.vue SFCs (<template>, <script setup>, <style>) |
| State |
Pinia (stores/), Vuex (store/) |
| API |
axios, fetch, VueQuery |
| Forms |
VeeValidate, FormKit, custom ref() / reactive() |
| i18n |
vue-i18n |
Nuxt 3
| Aspect |
Where to Look |
| Routes |
pages/ directory (file-system routing) |
| Layouts |
layouts/ |
| API routes |
server/api/ |
| Data fetching |
useFetch, useAsyncData, $fetch |
| State |
useState, Pinia |
| Middleware |
middleware/ |
Angular
| Aspect |
Where to Look |
| Routes |
app-routing.module.ts or Routes array |
| Components |
@Component decorator, *.component.ts |
| State |
NgRx (store/), services with BehaviorSubject |
| API |
HttpClient in services |
| Forms |
Reactive Forms (FormGroup), Template-driven forms |
| i18n |
@angular/localize, ngx-translate |
| Guards |
CanActivate, CanDeactivate |
Svelte / SvelteKit
| Aspect |
Where to Look |
| Routes |
src/routes/ (file-system routing with +page.svelte) |
| Layouts |
+layout.svelte |
| Data loading |
+page.ts / +page.server.ts (load function) |
| API routes |
+server.ts |
| State |
Svelte stores (writable, readable, derived) |
