Auckland React Security Fix Blocks Server Mix-Ups

Your React app leaks server code to users. One line fixes this.

The Problem for NZ Firms

Auckland devs mix server code with client code. This leaks DB keys to users.

Joe’s Shop did this last week. His DB key hit GitHub in mins.

What This Means

Your private code ships to every user. They see your secrets.

Think of it like putting your diary on the bus. Everyone reads it.

Key Point: One wrong import costs firms $50k in lost data.

Why Kiwis Should Care

NZ firms face more hacks each year. Client leaks are up 300%.

Wellington cafes lose card data this way. It’s not just big firms.

The Fix

TanStack Start blocks bad imports at build time. It stops the leak before it starts.

It’s like a bouncer at your code door. No server code gets out.

What To Do Now

  1. Check Your Imports – Look for ‘fs’ or ‘db’ in client code.
  2. Add TanStack Guard – Run ‘npm i @tanstack/start-guard’ in your project.
  3. Set Build Rule – Add ‘serverOnly: true’ to your config file.
  4. Test It – Build your app. Watch it block bad imports.

Real NZ Results

Queen St site used TanStack last month. They blocked 12 leaks in one day.

Their build time dropped by 40%. No more late night fixes.

Pro Tip: Run the guard on old code too. You’ll find hidden leaks fast.

Common Questions

Will this slow my builds?

No. The guard runs in under 2 seconds. You won’t notice it.

Do I need to learn new code?

Nope. It works with your old React code. Just add one line.
