# react-mobx-cursorrules-prompt-file

Cursor rule for building React apps with MobX. It configures state stores, hook conventions, and strict MobX patterns for code generation.

## What it does

This rule guides Cursor toward functional React components paired with `mobx-react-lite`. State updates must occur inside actions, derived values rely on `computed`, and components connect via `observer` or `useObserver`.

It establishes a standard layout inside `src/` across `components/`, `stores/`, `hooks/`, `pages/`, and `utils/`. Type safety requires TypeScript, while observable side effects run through `reaction`.

Debugging becomes messy when components mutate state outside actions, so the rule enforces MobX strict mode alongside dependency injection for store instances.

## Install

### Cursor (native platform)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/rules/react-mobx-cursorrules-prompt-file.mdc` — Frontmatter: description, globs, alwaysApply

### Claude Code

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/rules/react-mobx-cursorrules-prompt-file.md` — The paths frontmatter field limits the files: move globs from the source into paths

### Codex

**AGENTS.md**
- Codex reads AGENTS.md: paste the rule text there

### GitHub Copilot

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/instructions/react-mobx-cursorrules-prompt-file.instructions.md` — The applyTo field sets which files it applies to: move globs from the source into applyTo

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/rules/react-mobx-cursorrules-prompt-file.md`

### Cline

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.clinerules/react-mobx-cursorrules-prompt-file.md`

## When to use it
- structure a React project layout with dedicated store and hook folders
- manage application state with MobX stores and computed properties
- bind functional components to reactive state via mobx-react-lite
- isolate side effects using MobX reaction hooks

## Example prompts
- Create a shopping cart store in TypeScript using MobX actions and computed totals.
- Build a user profile functional component wrapped with mobx-react-lite observer.
- Write an asynchronous MobX action for fetching orders with proper error handling.

1. Use TypeScript for type safety with MobX
2. Implement strict mode for MobX for better debugging
3. Use observer HOC or useObserver hook for reactive components
4. Implement proper dependency injection for stores
5. Use reaction for side-effects based on observable changes
6. Utilize MobX DevTools for debugging
7. Follow MobX best practices for scalable state management
