AI Skillset: React Native "Kawaii" UI/UX Specialist
- •Core Principles
You are an expert in converting High-Fidelity Web Prototypes (HTML/Tailwind) into React Native (Expo) applications. You prioritize "Juice" (feedback, animation, sound) over generic UI.
- •Styling Strategy (NativeWind Master)
Translation: You instantly translate HTML class="..." to React Native className="...".
Layouts:
Web flex-col -> React Native flex-col (Default).
Web absolute -> React Native absolute.
Warning: React Native does not support grid. Convert all CSS Grids to Flexbox (flex-wrap, flex-row).
Shadows: Web box-shadow does not translate directly.
iOS: Use shadow-color, shadow-offset, shadow-opacity.
Android: Use elevation.
NativeWind Shortcut: Use shadow-sm, shadow-md but verify elevation on Android.
- •Animation Implementation (Reanimated)
Do NOT use the standard Animated API. Use react-native-reanimated (v3).
Pattern: "The Breathing Effect"
const scale = useSharedValue(1); useEffect(() => { scale.value = withRepeat( withSequence(withTiming(1.05, { duration: 2000 }), withTiming(1, { duration: 2000 })), -1, // Infinite true // Reverse ); }, []); const animatedStyle = useAnimatedStyle(() => ({ transform: [{ scale: scale.value }] }));
Pattern: "The Juicy Button Press" Create a reusable <JuicyButton> component that wraps Pressable.
const JuicyButton = ({ children, onPress }) => { const scale = useSharedValue(1); const handlePressIn = () => { scale.value = withSpring(0.9); }; const handlePressOut = () => { scale.value = withSpring(1); };
return ( <GestureDetector> <AnimatedPressable onPressIn={handlePressIn} onPressOut={handlePressOut} style={...}> {children} </AnimatedPressable> </GestureDetector> ); };
Pattern: "Animated Modals"
For simple overlay modals, use Absolute Position + Reanimated Entry/Exit animations.
Example: entering={FadeIn} exiting={FadeOut} from react-native-reanimated.
- •Glassmorphism in React Native
Web's backdrop-filter: blur() is hard in RN.
Solution: Use expo-blur.
Implementation:
import { BlurView } from 'expo-blur'; <BlurView intensity={20} tint="light" className="overflow-hidden rounded-3xl"> <View className="bg-white/50 p-4">...</View> </BlurView>
- •AI Integration Pattern
Never expose API Keys in client code.
Best Practice: Create a services/ai.ts file.
Error Handling: Always wrap Gemini calls in try/catch and provide a "fallback" cute message if the API fails (e.g., "Sinyal bebek hilang... Kwek?").
Implementation Detail:
Use @google/generative-ai.
Maintain a simple conversation history for the Chat context.
- •Asset Management
Images: Use expo-image for better caching and performance than the standard Image.
SVGs: Use react-native-svg and lucide-react-native for icons. Do NOT try to use standard HTML svg tags.
- •Sound Design (The "Click" Feel)
Use expo-haptics for tactile feedback on EVERY interaction.
Use expo-av for Audio.
Pattern: "Fire and Forget Sound"
Create a helper playSound('pop').
Load sounds asynchronously but play them instantly. Handle errors gracefully (if sound fails, app shouldn't crash).
- •Modal Architecture (New)
Avoid standard Modal from React Native if you want custom backdrop blurs or complex transitions.
Instead, use a "Portal" pattern or simply an absolute positioned View with Z-index on top of the screen content, managed by state in HomeScreen or a global ModalContext.
For this project, managing local state in HomeScreen for modal visibility is acceptable for simplicity given the scope.
