SSR Safety Analysis

SSR-Safe Patterns (No hydration issues)

All patterns using CSS-only states are SSR-safe:

Category SSR-Safe Total Percentage
Buttons 12 12 100%
Cards 9 9 100%
Forms 10 10 100%
Badges 6 6 100%
Alerts 5 5 100%
Avatars 6 6 100%
Layout 40 40 100%
Typography 15 15 100%
Backgrounds 50+ 50+ 100%
Fonts 60+ 60+ 100%
Icons 150+ 150+ 100%

Client-Only Patterns (Require JS hydration)

Some patterns have JS-controlled states that may cause hydration issues:

  • modal, modal-overlay, modal-content - JS toggles visibility
  • dropdown-menu - JS controls open/closed state
  • toggle, toggle-checked - JS controls checked state
  • accordion states - JS controls expanded state

These patterns are marked with ssr.safe: false and include warnings.

How to Use

1. Set your framework

mcp: set_framework("tailwind")

2. Get a class

mcp: get_class("btn-primary")
// Returns: "inline-flex items-center justify-center px-4 py-2 bg-blue-600 text-white..."

3. Generate CSS

mcp: generate_css()
// Returns: CSS with @apply rules for all semantic classes

4. Use in HTML

<button class="btn-primary">Click me</button>

5. Add to your CSS

@import "tailwindcss";

.btn-primary {
  @apply inline-flex items-center justify-center px-4 py-2 bg-blue-600 text-white text-sm font-medium rounded-lg hover:bg-blue-700 focus:outline-none focus:ring-2 focus:ring-blue-500 focus:ring-offset-2 transition-colors;
}
