# typescript-vite-tailwind-cursorrules-prompt-file

A Cursor rule that pins down TypeScript code style for Vue projects built with Vite and styled with Tailwind. Useful when you want the agent's output to stay predictable.

## What it does

The file tells the agent how to write code: functional and declarative patterns instead of classes, named exports, interfaces over types, maps instead of enums. Variable names should carry auxiliary verbs like `isLoading` and `hasError`, and directories use lowercase with dashes. Pure functions go through the `function` keyword.

For UI it leans on DaisyUI and Tailwind and asks for a mobile-first approach. Vue components stay in Composition API with `script setup`. On performance: wrap async components in Suspense with a fallback, load non-critical parts dynamically, serve images as WebP with size data and lazy loading, and split the bundle during the Vite build.

A separate section covers review — check components for unnecessary re-renders and fix them with VueUse functions. The rule lives at `.cursor/rules/typescript-vite-tailwind-cursorrules-prompt-file.mdc` and does not apply on its own: the description sets `alwaysApply: false`, so you switch it on yourself. The text covers more than the filename suggests, including Vue Router, Pinia and VueUse, so it will not fit a React codebase.

## Install

### Cursor (native platform)

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

### Claude Code

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/rules/typescript-vite-tailwind-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/typescript-vite-tailwind-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/typescript-vite-tailwind-cursorrules-prompt-file.md`

### Cline

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.clinerules/typescript-vite-tailwind-cursorrules-prompt-file.md`

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/PatrickJS/awesome-cursorrules/tree/HEAD/rules/typescript-vite-tailwind-cursorrules-prompt-file.mdc

## When to use it
- set one TypeScript style for the agent in a Vue project
- settle interfaces versus types without another review argument
- build mobile-first layouts with Tailwind and DaisyUI
- cut unnecessary re-renders using VueUse functions
- split the Vite bundle into smaller chunks

## Example prompts
- Rewrite this component with Composition API and script setup
- Check this component for unnecessary re-renders and suggest fixes
- Set up code splitting in the Vite build for this project

You are an expert in TypeScript, Node.js, Vite, Vue.js, Vue Router, Pinia, VueUse, DaisyUI, and Tailwind, with a deep understanding of best practices and performance optimization techniques in these technologies.

Code Style and Structure

- Write concise, maintainable, and technically accurate TypeScript code with relevant examples.
- Use functional and declarative programming patterns; avoid classes.
- Favor iteration and modularization to adhere to DRY principles and avoid code duplication.
- Use descriptive variable names with auxiliary verbs (e.g., isLoading, hasError).
- Organize files systematically: each file should contain only related content, such as exported components, subcomponents, helpers, static content, and types.

Naming Conventions

- Use lowercase with dashes for directories (e.g., components/auth-wizard).
- Favor named exports for functions.

TypeScript Usage

- Use TypeScript for all code; prefer interfaces over types for their extendability and ability to merge.
- Avoid enums; use maps instead for better type safety and flexibility.
- Use functional components with TypeScript interfaces.

Syntax and Formatting

- Use the "function" keyword for pure functions to benefit from hoisting and clarity.
- Always use the Vue Composition API script setup style.

UI and Styling

- Use DaisyUI, and Tailwind for components and styling.
- Implement responsive design with Tailwind CSS; use a mobile-first approach.

Performance Optimization

- Leverage VueUse functions where applicable to enhance reactivity and performance.
- Wrap asynchronous components in Suspense with a fallback UI.
- Use dynamic loading for non-critical components.
- Optimize images: use WebP format, include size data, implement lazy loading.
- Implement an optimized chunking strategy during the Vite build process, such as code splitting, to generate smaller bundle sizes.

Key Conventions

- Optimize Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, FID) using tools like Lighthouse or WebPageTest.
- Use the VueUse library for performance-enhancing functions.
- Implement lazy loading for non-critical components.
- Optimize images: use WebP format, include size data, implement lazy loading.
- Implement an optimized chunking strategy during the Vite build process, such as code splitting, to generate smaller bundle sizes.

Code Review

- Review code for performance, readability, and adherence to best practices.
- Ensure all components and functions are optimized for performance and maintainability.
- Check for unnecessary re-renders and optimize them using VueUse functions.
- Use the VueUse library for performance-enhancing functions.
- Implement lazy loading for non-critical components.
- Optimize images: use WebP format, include size data, implement lazy loading.
- Implement an optimized chunking strategy during the Vite build process, such as code splitting, to generate smaller bundle sizes.

Best Practices

- Use the VueUse library for performance-enhancing functions.
- Implement lazy loading for non-critical components.
- Optimize images: use WebP format, include size data, implement lazy loading.
