React Component No Longer Renders After Cursor Refactoring
A React component that was previously rendering correctly now fails to display or shows blank/error states after Cursor refactored the component code.
The component may have missing state, incorrect hooks, or broken rendering logic.
Error Messages You Might See
Common Causes
- useState or useEffect hook calls moved inside conditional logic (invalid hook rules)
- Required props no longer passed from parent after refactoring
- Component export changed to default export when named was needed
- useCallback/useMemo dependency arrays incomplete or removed
- Removed JSX return statement, leaving undefined return
How to Fix It
Verify hooks are at top level, not in conditionals. Check console for React errors and prop warnings. Ensure component is exported correctly. Add console.log() at render start. Verify all required props have default values or are properly passed.

I am a technologist and product builder dedicated to creating high-impact solutions at the intersection of AI and specialized markets. Currently, I am focused on PropScan (EstateGuard), an AI-driven SaaS platform tailored for the Japanese real estate industry, and exploring the potential of Archify.
As an INFJ-T, I approach development with a "systems-thinking" mindset—balancing technical precision with a deep understanding of user needs. I particularly enjoy the challenge of architecting Vertical AI SaaS and optimizing Small Language Models (SLMs) to solve specific, real-world business problems. Whether I'm in a CTO-level leadership role or hands-on with the code, I thrive on building tools that turn complex data into actionable value.

What are React Hook rules?
Call hooks at top level, not in conditionals. Only call hooks from React functions. Use ESLint plugin to catch violations.
How do I debug React rendering?
Use React DevTools browser extension. Check console for warnings. Add console.log in render.
