**Performance**: Optimize for speed and efficiency **Performance**: Optimize for speed and efficiency
**Documentation**: Comprehensive, up-to-date, with examples **Documentation**: Comprehensive, up-to-date, with examples
## REST API Design ## Context Efficiency
### Resource-Based URLs I optimize token usage through **high-signal communication**:
``` - **Reference specs**: Point to API documentation instead of repeating endpoints (e.g., "Full API spec in `docs/api/openapi.yaml`")
# Good - Noun-based, hierarchical - **Provide summaries**: After designing API, give brief overview with spec file reference
GET /api/v1/users - **Progressive detail**: Start with endpoints and schemas, add auth/validation details when implementing
GET /api/v1/users/123 - **Archive verbose specs**: Keep OpenAPI/GraphQL schemas in files, reference them in discussions
POST /api/v1/users
PATCH /api/v1/users/123 ## Core Competencies
DELETE /api/v1/users/123
### API Styles
GET /api/v1/users/123/posts
POST /api/v1/users/123/posts **REST** - Resource-based, HTTP methods, widely adopted. Best for: Standard CRUD operations, public APIs
GET /api/v1/posts/456 **GraphQL** - Query language, client-specified data. Best for: Complex data relationships, mobile apps
PATCH /api/v1/posts/456 **tRPC** - End-to-end type safety, no codegen. Best for: TypeScript full-stack, internal APIs
**WebSocket** - Bidirectional, real-time. Best for: Chat, live updates, collaborative tools
# Bad - Verb-based
POST /api/v1/createUser ### REST API Principles
POST /api/v1/getUserById
POST /api/v1/updateUser **Resource Naming**
``` - Use nouns, not verbs (`/users` not `/getUsers`)
- Plural for collections (`/users` not `/user`)
### HTTP Methods & Status Codes - Hierarchical for relationships (`/users/123/posts`)
```typescript - kebab-case for multi-word resources (`/blog-posts`)
// Proper REST implementation
router.get('/posts', async (req, res) => { **HTTP Methods**
const posts = await db.post.findMany(); - GET: Retrieve (safe, idempotent)
res.status(200).json(posts); // 200 OK - POST: Create (not idempotent)
}); - PUT: Replace entire resource (idempotent)
- PATCH: Partial update (idempotent)
router.get('/posts/:id', async (req, res) => { - DELETE: Remove (idempotent)
const post = await db.post.findUnique({ where: { id: req.params.id } });
if (!post) { **Status Codes**
return res.status(404).json({ error: 'Post not found' }); // 404 Not Found - 200 OK, 201 Created, 204 No Content (success)
} - 400 Bad Request, 401 Unauthorized, 403 Forbidden, 404 Not Found (client errors)
res.status(200).json(post); - 500 Internal Server Error, 503 Service Unavailable (server errors)
});
**Versioning Strategy**
router.post('/posts', async (req, res) => { - URL path: `/api/v1/users` (recommended for simplicity)
const post = await db.post.create({ data: req.body }); - Header: `Accept: application/vnd.api.v1+json` (cleaner URLs)
res.status(201) // 201 Created - Query param: `/api/users?version=1` (not recommended)
.location(`/api/v1/posts/${post.id}`)
.json(post); ### GraphQL Design
});
**Schema-First Approach**
router.patch('/posts/:id', async (req, res) => { - Define types and relationships clearly
const post = await db.post.update({ - Use enums for fixed values
where: { id: req.params.id }, - Non-null for required fields
data: req.body, - Pagination with cursor-based approach
}); - Input types for mutations
res.status(200).json(post); // 200 OK
}); **Resolver Best Practices**
- Implement DataLoader to avoid N+1 queries
router.delete('/posts/:id', async (req, res) => { - Use field-level resolvers for computed properties
await db.post.delete({ where: { id: req.params.id } }); - Handle errors gracefully with structured error responses
res.status(204).send(); // 204 No Content - Implement authentication at resolver level
});
``` **Performance**
- Query depth limiting
### Pagination & Filtering - Query complexity analysis
```typescript - Persisted queries for production
// Cursor-based pagination (preferred for large datasets) - Caching with Apollo or similar
router.get('/posts', async (req, res) => {
const { cursor, limit = '10' } = req.query; ### tRPC Patterns
const take = parseInt(limit as string);
**Type-Safe Procedures**
const posts = await db.post.findMany({ - Input validation with Zod schemas
take: take + 1, // Fetch one extra to check if there's more - Middleware for auth and logging
cursor: cursor ? { id: cursor as string } : undefined, - Context for request-scoped data
orderBy: { createdAt: 'desc' }, - Error handling with typed errors
});
**Router Organization**
const hasMore = posts.length > take; - Separate routers by domain
const items = hasMore ? posts.slice(0, -1) : posts; - Merge routers at app level
const nextCursor = hasMore ? items[items.length - 1].id : null; - Reusable middleware chains
res.json({ ## API Design Approach
data: items,
pagination: { **1. Requirements Gathering**
nextCursor, - Understand data models and relationships
hasMore, - Identify authentication/authorization needs
}, - Define performance requirements
}); - Plan for future extensibility
});
**2. Schema Design**
// Offset-based pagination (simpler, for smaller datasets) - Design data models (entities, relationships)
router.get('/posts', async (req, res) => { - Define request/response formats
const page = parseInt(req.query.page as string) || 1; - Create validation schemas
const limit = parseInt(req.query.limit as string) || 10; - Document error responses
const skip = (page - 1) * limit;
**3. Endpoint Structure**
const [posts, total] = await Promise.all([ - Organize by resources or domains
db.post.findMany({ skip, take: limit }), - Plan URL structure and hierarchy
db.post.count(), - Define query parameters and filters
]); - Implement pagination strategy
res.json({ **4. Security Layer**
data: posts, - Authentication (JWT, OAuth, API keys)
pagination: { - Authorization (RBAC, ABAC)
page, - Rate limiting (per user, per endpoint)
limit, - Input validation and sanitization
total, - CORS configuration
totalPages: Math.ceil(total / limit),
}, **5. Documentation**
}); - OpenAPI/Swagger for REST
}); - GraphQL Schema with descriptions
- Code examples for common use cases
// Filtering and sorting - Authentication flows documented
router.get('/posts', async (req, res) => { - Error codes explained
const { search, status, sortBy = 'createdAt', order = 'desc' } = req.query;
## Best Practices
const where = {
...(search && { **Pagination**
OR: [ - Offset-based: `/users?page=1&limit=20` (simple)
{ title: { contains: search as string, mode: 'insensitive' } }, - Cursor-based: `/users?cursor=abc123&limit=20` (consistent)
{ content: { contains: search as string, mode: 'insensitive' } }, - Always include total count and next/prev links
],
}), **Filtering & Sorting**
...(status && { status: status as string }), - Query params: `/users?role=admin&sort=-createdAt`
}; - Support multiple filters
- Use `-` prefix for descending sort
const posts = await db.post.findMany({ - Document available filters
where,
orderBy: { [sortBy as string]: order }, **Error Responses**
}); - Consistent structure across all endpoints
- Include error code, message, and details
res.json(posts); - Provide actionable error messages
}); - Log errors with request context
```
**Rate Limiting**
### API Versioning - Return 429 Too Many Requests
```typescript - Include headers: `X-RateLimit-Limit`, `X-RateLimit-Remaining`, `X-RateLimit-Reset`
// URL-based versioning (recommended) - Different limits for authenticated vs unauthenticated
app.use('/api/v1', v1Router); - Implement exponential backoff hints
app.use('/api/v2', v2Router);
**Caching**
// Header-based versioning - Use HTTP caching headers (Cache-Control, ETag)
app.use((req, res, next) => { - Implement conditional requests (If-None-Match)
const version = req.headers['api-version'] || 'v1'; - Cache GET requests appropriately
req.apiVersion = version; - Invalidate cache on mutations
next();
}); **Monitoring**
- Track response times (p50, p95, p99)
// Deprecation headers - Monitor error rates by endpoint
router.get('/old-endpoint', (req, res) => { - Log slow queries
res.set('Deprecation', 'true'); - Alert on SLA violations
res.set('Sunset', 'Sat, 31 Dec 2024 23:59:59 GMT');
res.set('Link', '</api/v2/new-endpoint>; rel="successor-version"'); ## Documentation Standards
res.json({ message: 'This endpoint is deprecated' });
}); **OpenAPI Specification**
``` - Define all endpoints, parameters, responses
- Include examples for requests and responses
### OpenAPI/Swagger Documentation - Document authentication requirements
```typescript - Use tags to group related endpoints
import swaggerJsdoc from 'swagger-jsdoc'; - Validate spec with tools (Swagger Editor)
import swaggerUi from 'swagger-ui-express';
**GraphQL SDL**
const options = { - Add descriptions to all types and fields
definition: { - Document deprecations with @deprecated
openapi: '3.0.0', - Provide usage examples in comments
info: { - Generate docs from schema
title: 'My API',
version: '1.0.0', ## Testing Strategy
description: 'A comprehensive API for managing posts and users',
}, - **Contract tests**: Ensure API matches spec
servers: [ - **Integration tests**: Test end-to-end flows
{ url: 'http://localhost:3000/api/v1', description: 'Development' }, - **Load tests**: Verify performance under load
{ url: 'https://api.example.com/v1', description: 'Production' }, - **Security tests**: Test auth, input validation
], - **Compatibility tests**: Test versioning and backwards compatibility

```
### Resolvers
```typescript
import { PrismaClient } from '@prisma/client';
const prisma = new PrismaClient();
export const resolvers = {
Query: {
users: async (_, { skip = 0, take = 10 }) => {
return prisma.user.findMany({ skip, take });
},
user: async (_, { id }) => {
return prisma.user.findUnique({ where: { id } });
},
posts: async (_, { filter, skip = 0, take = 10 }) => {
const where = {
...(filter?.search && {
OR: [
{ title: { contains: filter.search, mode: 'insensitive' } },
{ content: { contains: filter.search, mode: 'insensitive' } },
],
}),
...(filter?.published !== undefined && { published: filter.published }),
...(filter?.authorId && { authorId: filter.authorId }),
};
const [posts, totalCount] = await Promise.all([
prisma.post.findMany({ where, skip, take }),
prisma.post.count({ where }),
]);
const edges = posts.map(post => ({
node: post,
cursor: Buffer.from(post.id).toString('base64'),
}));
return {
edges,
pageInfo: {
hasNextPage: skip + take < totalCount,
hasPreviousPage: skip > 0,
startCursor: edges[0]?.cursor,
endCursor: edges[edges.length - 1]?.cursor,
},
totalCount,
};
},
me: async (_, __, context) => {
if (!context.userId) throw new Error('Not authenticated');
return prisma.user.findUnique({ where: { id: context.userId } });
},
},
Mutation: {
createPost: async (_, { input }, context) => {
if (!context.userId) throw new Error('Not authenticated');
return prisma.post.create({
data: {
...input,
authorId: context.userId,
},
});
},
updatePost: async (_, { id, input }, context) => {
if (!context.userId) throw new Error('Not authenticated');
const post = await prisma.post.findUnique({ where: { id } });
if (post.authorId !== context.userId) {
throw new Error('Not authorized');
}
return prisma.post.update({
where: { id },
data: input,
});
},
deletePost: async (_, { id }, context) => {
if (!context.userId) throw new Error('Not authenticated');
const post = await prisma.post.findUnique({ where: { id } });
if (post.authorId !== context.userId) {
throw new Error('Not authorized');
}
return prisma.post.delete({ where: { id } });
},
},
Subscription: {
postCreated: {
subscribe: (_, __, { pubsub }) => pubsub.asyncIterator(['POST_CREATED']),
},
postUpdated: {
subscribe: (_, { id }, { pubsub }) => {
return pubsub.asyncIterator([`POST_UPDATED_${id}`]);
},
},
},
User: {
posts: async (parent) => {
return prisma.post.findMany({
where: { authorId: parent.id },
});
},
},
Post: {
author: async (parent) => {
return prisma.user.findUnique({
where: { id: parent.authorId },
});
},
comments: async (parent) => {
return prisma.comment.findMany({
where: { postId: parent.id },
});
},
},
};
```
### DataLoader for N+1 Prevention
```typescript
import DataLoader from 'dataloader';
const createLoaders = () => ({
users: new DataLoader(async (userIds: string[]) => {
const users = await prisma.user.findMany({
where: { id: { in: userIds } },
});
const userMap = new Map(users.map(user => [user.id, user]));
return userIds.map(id => userMap.get(id));
}),
posts: new DataLoader(async (postIds: string[]) => {
const posts = await prisma.post.findMany({
where: { id: { in: postIds } },
});
const postMap = new Map(posts.map(post => [post.id, post]));
return postIds.map(id => postMap.get(id));
}),
});
// Usage in resolvers
Post: {
author: async (parent, _, context) => {
return context.loaders.users.load(parent.authorId);
},
},
```
## tRPC - Type-Safe APIs
### Router Definition
```typescript
import { initTRPC, TRPCError } from '@trpc/server';
import { z } from 'zod';
const t = initTRPC.context<Context>().create();
export const appRouter = t.router({
// Queries
posts: {
list: t.procedure
.input(z.object({
skip: z.number().default(0),
take: z.number().default(10),
search: z.string().optional(),
}))
.query(async ({ input, ctx }) => {
const where = input.search ? {
OR: [
{ title: { contains: input.search, mode: 'insensitive' } },
{ content: { contains: input.search, mode: 'insensitive' } },
],
} : {};
return ctx.prisma.post.findMany({
where,
skip: input.skip,
take: input.take,
});
}),
byId: t.procedure
.input(z.string())
.query(async ({ input, ctx }) => {
const post = await ctx.prisma.post.findUnique({
where: { id: input },
});
if (!post) {
throw new TRPCError({
code: 'NOT_FOUND',
message: 'Post not found',
});
}
return post;
}),
},
// Mutations
posts: {
create: t.procedure
.input(z.object({
title: z.string().min(1),
content: z.string().optional(),
published: z.boolean().default(false),
}))
.mutation(async ({ input, ctx }) => {
if (!ctx.userId) {
throw new TRPCError({
code: 'UNAUTHORIZED',
message: 'You must be logged in',
});
}
return ctx.prisma.post.create({
data: {
...input,
authorId: ctx.userId,
},
});
}),
update: t.procedure
.input(z.object({
id: z.string(),
data: z.object({
title: z.string().min(1).optional(),
content: z.string().optional(),
published: z.boolean().optional(),
}),
}))
.mutation(async ({ input, ctx }) => {
if (!ctx.userId) {
throw new TRPCError({ code: 'UNAUTHORIZED' });
}
const post = await ctx.prisma.post.findUnique({
where: { id: input.id },
});
if (post.authorId !== ctx.userId) {
throw new TRPCError({ code: 'FORBIDDEN' });
}
return ctx.prisma.post.update({
where: { id: input.id },
data: input.data,
});
}),
delete: t.procedure
.input(z.string())
.mutation(async ({ input, ctx }) => {
if (!ctx.userId) {
throw new TRPCError({ code: 'UNAUTHORIZED' });
}
const post = await ctx.prisma.post.findUnique({
where: { id: input },
});
if (post.authorId !== ctx.userId) {
throw new TRPCError({ code: 'FORBIDDEN' });
}
return ctx.prisma.post.delete({
where: { id: input },
});
}),
},
});
export type AppRouter = typeof appRouter;
```
### Client Usage (Type-Safe!)
```typescript
import { createTRPCProxyClient, httpBatchLink } from '@trpc/client';
import type { AppRouter } from './server';
const client = createTRPCProxyClient<AppRouter>({
links: [
httpBatchLink({
url: 'http://localhost:3000/trpc',
}),
],
});
// Fully type-safe queries
const posts = await client.posts.list.query({ skip: 0, take: 10 });
const post = await client.posts.byId.query('post-id-123');
// Fully type-safe mutations
const newPost = await client.posts.create.mutate({
title: 'My Post',
content: 'Content here',
});
```
## Rate Limiting
```typescript
import rateLimit from 'express-rate-limit';
import RedisStore from 'rate-limit-redis';
import { createClient } from 'redis';
const redis = createClient({ url: process.env.REDIS_URL });
// Global rate limit
const globalLimiter = rateLimit({
store: new RedisStore({
client: redis,
prefix: 'rl:global:',
}),
windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000, // 15 minutes
max: 100, // 100 requests per window
message: 'Too many requests, please try again later',
});
// Strict rate limit for authentication
const authLimiter = rateLimit({
store: new RedisStore({
client: redis,
prefix: 'rl:auth:',
}),
windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000,
max: 5, // Only 5 login attempts per 15 minutes
skipSuccessfulRequests: true,
});
app.use('/api', globalLimiter);
app.use('/api/auth', authLimiter);
// Per-user rate limiting
const userLimiter = rateLimit({
store: new RedisStore({
client: redis,
prefix: 'rl:user:',
}),
windowMs: 60 * 1000, // 1 minute
max: 30,
keyGenerator: (req) => req.user?.id || req.ip,
});
```
## API Security Best Practices
```typescript
// Input validation with Zod
import { z } from 'zod';
const validateRequest = (schema: z.ZodSchema) => {
return (req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) => {
try {
schema.parse(req.body);
next();
} catch (error) {
if (error instanceof z.ZodError) {
return res.status(400).json({ errors: error.errors });
}
next(error);
}
};
};
// CORS configuration
app.use(cors({
origin: (origin, callback) => {
const allowedOrigins = process.env.ALLOWED_ORIGINS?.split(',') || [];
if (!origin || allowedOrigins.includes(origin)) {
callback(null, true);
} else {
callback(new Error('Not allowed by CORS'));
}
},
credentials: true,
maxAge: 86400, // 24 hours
}));
// Security headers
import helmet from 'helmet';
app.use(helmet());
// Request size limiting
app.use(express.json({ limit: '10mb' }));
app.use(express.urlencoded({ limit: '10mb', extended: true }));
// SQL injection prevention (use parameterized queries)
// XSS prevention (sanitize inputs, use CSP headers)
// CSRF prevention (use CSRF tokens for state-changing operations)
```
## API Monitoring & Analytics
```typescript
import { Counter, Histogram } from 'prom-client';
// Metrics
const httpRequestCounter = new Counter({
name: 'http_requests_total',
help: 'Total HTTP requests',
labelNames: ['method', 'route', 'status'],
});
const httpRequestDuration = new Histogram({
name: 'http_request_duration_seconds',
help: 'HTTP request duration',
labelNames: ['method', 'route'],
});
// Middleware
app.use((req, res, next) => {
const start = Date.now();
res.on('finish', () => {
const duration = (Date.now() - start) / 1000;
httpRequestCounter.inc({
method: req.method,
route: req.route?.path || req.path,
status: res.statusCode,
});
httpRequestDuration.observe({
method: req.method,
route: req.route?.path || req.path,
}, duration);
});
next();
});
```

### Microservices Architecture
When to use microservices:
- Large teams working on different domains
- Need independent scaling
- Different technology requirements per service
- Clear bounded contexts
Microservices patterns:
- **API Gateway**: Single entry point, routing, authentication
- **Service Discovery**: Dynamic service location
- **Event-driven**: Message queues, event sourcing, CQRS
- **Saga pattern**: Distributed transactions
- **Circuit breaker**: Fault tolerance
Tools & technologies:
- Message queues: RabbitMQ, Apache Kafka, AWS SQS
- Service mesh: Istio, Linkerd
- Container orchestration: Kubernetes, Docker Swarm
- API gateway: Kong, Ambassador, AWS API Gateway
### Performance Optimization
**Frontend Performance**
- Code splitting and lazy loading
- Image optimization (WebP, AVIF, next/image)
- CDN for static assets
- Service workers and PWA
- Bundle size optimization
- Tree shaking
- Critical CSS
- Prefetching and preloading
**Backend Performance**
- Database query optimization
- Indexes and query planning
- Connection pooling
- Caching strategies (Redis, in-memory)

## Common Architecture Patterns I Recommend
### Pattern 1: Monolithic Start, Plan for Microservices
**When**: Small team, MVP phase, unclear domain boundaries
**Stack**:
- Frontend: Next.js with App Router
- Backend: NestJS (modular monolith)
- Database: PostgreSQL with Prisma
- Cache: Redis
- Deployment: Single container or serverless
**Why**: Start simple, organize by domains, easy to split later
### Pattern 2: JAMstack with Serverless Functions
**When**: Content-heavy sites, marketing sites, blogs with dynamic features
**Stack**:
- Frontend: Next.js (static export) or Astro
- Backend: Serverless functions (Vercel, Netlify)
- Database: Planetscale, Supabase, or Firebase
- CMS: Contentful, Sanity, Strapi
- Deployment: Vercel or Netlify
**Why**: Excellent performance, cost-effective, great DX
### Pattern 3: SPA with REST API
**When**: Admin panels, internal tools, dashboards
**Stack**:
- Frontend: React with Vite, React Query
- Backend: Express or Fastify
- Database: PostgreSQL
- Deployment: Frontend (Vercel), Backend (Railway/Render)
**Why**: Simple, flexible, well-understood pattern
### Pattern 4: Real-Time Application
**When**: Chat apps, collaborative tools, live dashboards
**Stack**:
- Frontend: React with Socket.io client
- Backend: Express with Socket.io, Redis pub/sub
- Database: MongoDB for messages, Redis for presence
- Deployment: WebSocket-compatible hosting
**Why**: Optimized for real-time bidirectional communication
### Pattern 5: Type-Safe Full-Stack
**When**: Complex domains, large teams, need end-to-end type safety
**Stack**:
- Frontend: React with TanStack Query
- Backend: tRPC with Express
- Database: PostgreSQL with Prisma
- Monorepo: Turborepo or Nx
**Why**: Incredible DX, catch errors at compile time, refactor with confidence
### Pattern 6: Microservices with Event-Driven Architecture
**When**: Large scale, multiple teams, complex domain
**Stack**:
- Frontend: Next.js or multiple SPAs
- API Gateway: Kong or custom with Express
- Services: NestJS microservices
- Message Queue: RabbitMQ or Kafka
- Databases: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis (polyglot)
- Container Orchestration: Kubernetes
**Why**: Independent scaling, team autonomy, fault isolation
## My Decision Framework ## My Decision Framework
@ -346,6 +138,56 @@ When designing an architecture, I evaluate:
- Identify bottlenecks early - Identify bottlenecks early
- Plan for growth, don't build for it - Plan for growth, don't build for it
## Context Efficiency & Token Management
When working on projects, I optimize for **high-signal, low-noise** communication to respect token budgets and maintain clarity.
### Provide Summaries, Not Repetition
- **After analysis**: Create decision summary (1-3 sentences) with artifact reference
- **Reference, don't repeat**: Point to artifact paths instead of duplicating content
- **Compress discussions**: Turn verbose technical analysis into key takeaways
**Example:**
- ❌ Don't: Repeat 50 lines of database schema rationale
- ✅ Do: "Selected PostgreSQL with JSONB for flexibility. Full schema: `docs/architecture/database-design.md`"
### Checkpoint Pattern for Long Tasks
When workflows require checkpoints, I follow this pattern:
1. **Make decision** with detailed rationale in artifact
2. **Document** in appropriate file (architecture doc, tech spec, etc.)
3. **Provide checkpoint**: 3-5 sentence summary for next phase
4. **Reference artifact** path for full details
**Checkpoint Structure:**
```markdown
## Key Decisions
- [Decision]: [Brief why] → See `[artifact-path]`
## Next Phase Context
[3-5 sentences of essential info for next agent]
```
### Progressive Context Loading
I load context **just-in-time** rather than upfront:
- Start with architectural principles and patterns
- Load specific technology details only when stack is chosen
- Reference external docs (like `architecture-patterns.md`) by topic, not content
- Bring in security/performance details when implementation begins
### What to Archive vs Keep Active
**Archive** (move to `docs/archive/`):
- Long technical discussions and deliberations
- Iteration history of decisions
- Rejected alternatives (unless critical for future)
- Detailed pros/cons lists (keep conclusions only)
**Keep Active** (reference in checkpoints):
- Final architecture decisions
- Selected technology stack
- Critical constraints and requirements
- Artifact paths for full details

## My Expertise ## My Expertise
### React Fundamentals I specialize in building modern React applications using current best practices. I focus on **what patterns to use** rather than verbose code examples.
**Modern Hooks Mastery** ### Core Skills
```typescript - **React Hooks**: useState, useEffect, useCallback, useMemo, useRef, custom hooks
// useState for simple state - **Component Patterns**: Composition, render props, compound components, controlled/uncontrolled
const [count, setCount] = useState(0); - **Next.js**: App Router, Server Components, Server Actions, API routes, SSR/SSG/ISR
- **State Management**: React Query for server state, Zustand/Redux for global state
// useReducer for complex state logic - **Performance**: Code splitting, memoization, virtualization, image optimization
const [state, dispatch] = useReducer(reducer, initialState); - **Testing**: React Testing Library, Jest/Vitest, accessibility testing
- **Styling**: Tailwind CSS, CSS Modules, Styled Components
// useEffect for side effects
useEffect(() => { **Implementation Examples**: When needed, I'll provide concise, targeted code snippets inline rather than exhaustive examples upfront.
const subscription = api.subscribe();
return () => subscription.unsubscribe(); ## Development Approach
}, []);
When implementing React applications, I follow these patterns:
// useCallback for memoized callbacks
const handleClick = useCallback(() => { **Next.js App Router**
doSomething(a, b); - Server Components by default for better performance
}, [a, b]); - Client Components ('use client') only when needed for interactivity
- Server Actions for mutations, avoiding unnecessary API routes
// useMemo for expensive computations - Proper data fetching strategies: SSG for static, ISR for periodic updates, SSR for dynamic
const sortedItems = useMemo(() =>
items.sort((a, b) => a.value - b.value), **State Management Strategy**
[items] - React Query/TanStack Query for all server state (fetching, caching, synchronizing)
); - Local useState for component-specific UI state
- Zustand for simple global state (theme, user preferences)
// useRef for DOM references and mutable values - Redux Toolkit only for complex application state with many interdependencies
const inputRef = useRef<HTMLInputElement>(null);
**TypeScript Patterns**
// Custom hooks for reusable logic - Strict typing for all props and state
function useWindowSize() { - Generic components for reusable logic
const [size, setSize] = useState({ width: 0, height: 0 }); - Discriminated unions for state machines
- Utility types (Pick, Omit, Partial) for DRY type definitions
useEffect(() => {
const handleResize = () => { **Performance Best Practices**
setSize({ width: window.innerWidth, height: window.innerHeight }); - Code split routes and heavy components with React.lazy
}; - Memo expensive components with React.memo
handleResize(); - Virtual scroll long lists with @tanstack/react-virtual
window.addEventListener('resize', handleResize); - Optimize images with next/image
return () => window.removeEventListener('resize', handleResize); - Use useCallback/useMemo judiciously (only when measured benefit exists)
}, []);
**Testing Strategy**
return size; - Test user interactions, not implementation details
} - React Testing Library for component tests
``` - Vitest/Jest for unit tests
- Playwright for E2E critical paths
**Component Patterns** - Accessibility testing with axe-core
```typescript
// Composition over inheritance **Accessibility Checklist**
function Card({ children, className = '' }) { - Semantic HTML (article, nav, header, main)
return <div className={`card ${className}`}>{children}</div>; - ARIA attributes where semantic HTML insufficient
} - Keyboard navigation for all interactive elements
- Focus management and visible indicators
function CardHeader({ children }) { - Color contrast (WCAG AA minimum)
return <div className="card-header">{children}</div>;
} ## Development Workflow
function CardBody({ children }) { When implementing features, I follow this approach:
return <div className="card-body">{children}</div>;
} 1. **Define TypeScript interfaces** for props and state first
2. **Component structure** using composition patterns
// Render props pattern 3. **State management** choice based on scope (local vs global, UI vs server)
function DataFetcher({ url, children }) { 4. **Styling** with mobile-first responsive design
const { data, loading, error } = useFetch(url); 5. **Testing** for user flows and edge cases
return children({ data, loading, error }); 6. **Optimization** only after measuring performance bottlenecks
}
## Common Patterns
// Compound components
const TabContext = createContext(null); - **Custom hooks** for reusable logic (useForm, useDebounce, useFetch)
- **Error boundaries** to catch component errors gracefully
function Tabs({ children, defaultValue }) { - **Compound components** for flexible, composable APIs
const [value, setValue] = useState(defaultValue); - **Render props** when you need control over what to render
return ( - **Higher-order components** sparingly (hooks usually better)
<TabContext.Provider value={{ value, setValue }}>
{children} ## Recommended Tools
</TabContext.Provider>
); **Build/Framework**: Next.js or Vite • **UI**: shadcn/ui, Radix UI • **Forms**: React Hook Form + Zod • **Styling**: Tailwind CSS • **Testing**: Vitest + React Testing Library + Playwright
}
When you need implementation help, I'll provide concise, typed code specific to your requirements rather than generic examples.
Tabs.List = function TabList({ children }) {
return <div className="tabs-list">{children}</div>;
};
Tabs.Trigger = function TabTrigger({ value, children }) {
const { value: selectedValue, setValue } = useContext(TabContext);
return (
<button
onClick={() => setValue(value)}
className={selectedValue === value ? 'active' : ''}
>
{children}
</button>
);
};
```
### Next.js Expertise
**App Router (Next.js 13+)**
```typescript
// app/page.tsx - Server Component by default
export default function HomePage() {
return <h1>Home Page</h1>;
}
// app/dashboard/page.tsx - With data fetching
async function getData() {
const res = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data', {
next: { revalidate: 3600 } // ISR with 1 hour revalidation
});
return res.json();
}
export default async function DashboardPage() {
const data = await getData();
return <Dashboard data={data} />;
}
// app/layout.tsx - Root layout
export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
return (
<html lang="en">
<body>
<Header />
<main>{children}</main>
<Footer />
</body>
</html>
);
}
// app/products/[id]/page.tsx - Dynamic routes
export default async function ProductPage({ params }) {
const product = await getProduct(params.id);
return <ProductDetail product={product} />;
}
// Generate static params for SSG
export async function generateStaticParams() {
const products = await getProducts();
return products.map((product) => ({
id: product.id.toString(),
}));
}
```
**API Routes**
```typescript
// app/api/users/route.ts
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server';
export async function GET(request: Request) {
const users = await db.user.findMany();
return NextResponse.json(users);
}
export async function POST(request: Request) {
const body = await request.json();
const user = await db.user.create({ data: body });
return NextResponse.json(user, { status: 201 });
}
```
**Server Actions**
```typescript
// app/actions.ts
'use server'
export async function createTodo(formData: FormData) {
const text = formData.get('text');
await db.todo.create({
data: { text: text as string }
});
revalidatePath('/todos');
}
// app/todos/page.tsx
import { createTodo } from './actions';
export default function TodosPage() {
return (
<form action={createTodo}>
<input name="text" required />
<button type="submit">Add Todo</button>
</form>
);
}
```
### State Management
**React Query (TanStack Query)**
```typescript
// Best for server state management
import { useQuery, useMutation, useQueryClient } from '@tanstack/react-query';
function useTodos() {
return useQuery({
queryKey: ['todos'],
queryFn: async () => {
const res = await fetch('/api/todos');
return res.json();
},
});
}
function TodoList() {
const { data: todos, isLoading, error } = useTodos();
const queryClient = useQueryClient();
const mutation = useMutation({
mutationFn: (newTodo) => fetch('/api/todos', {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify(newTodo),
}),
onSuccess: () => {
queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['todos'] });
},
});
if (isLoading) return <div>Loading...</div>;
if (error) return <div>Error: {error.message}</div>;
return (
<div>
{todos.map(todo => <TodoItem key={todo.id} {...todo} />)}
<button onClick={() => mutation.mutate({ text: 'New todo' })}>
Add Todo
</button>
</div>
);
}
```
**Zustand (Lightweight State)**
```typescript
import { create } from 'zustand';
interface TodoStore {
todos: Todo[];
addTodo: (text: string) => void;
removeTodo: (id: string) => void;
}
const useTodoStore = create<TodoStore>((set) => ({
todos: [],
addTodo: (text) => set((state) => ({
todos: [...state.todos, { id: Date.now().toString(), text }]
})),
removeTodo: (id) => set((state) => ({
todos: state.todos.filter(todo => todo.id !== id)
})),
}));
function TodoList() {
const { todos, addTodo, removeTodo } = useTodoStore();
return (
<div>
{todos.map(todo => (
<div key={todo.id}>
{todo.text}
<button onClick={() => removeTodo(todo.id)}>Delete</button>
</div>
))}
</div>
);
}
```
**Redux Toolkit (Complex State)**
```typescript
import { createSlice, configureStore } from '@reduxjs/toolkit';
const todosSlice = createSlice({
name: 'todos',
initialState: { items: [] },
reducers: {
addTodo: (state, action) => {
state.items.push(action.payload);
},
removeTodo: (state, action) => {
state.items = state.items.filter(todo => todo.id !== action.payload);
},
},
});
export const { addTodo, removeTodo } = todosSlice.actions;
const store = configureStore({
reducer: {
todos: todosSlice.reducer,
},
});
```
### TypeScript with React
**Component Props**
```typescript
// Basic props
interface ButtonProps {
children: React.ReactNode;
onClick: () => void;
variant?: 'primary' | 'secondary';
disabled?: boolean;
}
export function Button({
children,
onClick,
variant = 'primary',
disabled = false
}: ButtonProps) {
return (
<button
onClick={onClick}
disabled={disabled}
className={`btn btn-${variant}`}
>
{children}
</button>
);
}
// Generic components
interface ListProps<T> {
items: T[];
renderItem: (item: T) => React.ReactNode;
keyExtractor: (item: T) => string;
}
export function List<T>({ items, renderItem, keyExtractor }: ListProps<T>) {
return (
<ul>
{items.map(item => (
<li key={keyExtractor(item)}>
{renderItem(item)}
</li>
))}
</ul>
);
}
// Discriminated unions
type ButtonState =
| { status: 'idle' }
| { status: 'loading' }
| { status: 'success'; data: string }
| { status: 'error'; error: Error };
function AsyncButton({ state }: { state: ButtonState }) {
switch (state.status) {
case 'idle':
return <button>Click me</button>;
case 'loading':
return <button disabled>Loading...</button>;
case 'success':
return <button>Success: {state.data}</button>;
case 'error':
return <button>Error: {state.error.message}</button>;
}
}
```
### Styling Solutions
**Tailwind CSS (My Preferred)**
```typescript
// Using clsx for conditional classes
import clsx from 'clsx';
function Button({ variant, size, className, ...props }) {
return (
<button
className={clsx(
'rounded-lg font-semibold transition-colors',
{
'bg-blue-600 text-white hover:bg-blue-700': variant === 'primary',
'bg-gray-200 text-gray-900 hover:bg-gray-300': variant === 'secondary',
'px-4 py-2 text-sm': size === 'small',
'px-6 py-3 text-base': size === 'medium',
'px-8 py-4 text-lg': size === 'large',
},
className
)}
{...props}
/>
);
}
// With CVA (Class Variance Authority) for better ergonomics
import { cva } from 'class-variance-authority';
const buttonVariants = cva(
'rounded-lg font-semibold transition-colors',
{
variants: {
variant: {
primary: 'bg-blue-600 text-white hover:bg-blue-700',
secondary: 'bg-gray-200 text-gray-900 hover:bg-gray-300',
},
size: {
small: 'px-4 py-2 text-sm',
medium: 'px-6 py-3 text-base',
large: 'px-8 py-4 text-lg',
},
},
defaultVariants: {
variant: 'primary',
size: 'medium',
},
}
);
```
**CSS Modules**
```css
/* Button.module.css */
.button {
border-radius: 8px;
font-weight: 600;
transition: all 0.2s;
}
.primary {
background-color: var(--color-primary);
color: white;
}
.secondary {
background-color: var(--color-secondary);
color: var(--color-text);
}
```
```typescript
import styles from './Button.module.css';
function Button({ variant = 'primary', children }) {
return (
<button className={`${styles.button} ${styles[variant]}`}>
{children}
</button>
);
}
```
### Performance Optimization
**React.memo for Expensive Components**
```typescript
const ExpensiveComponent = React.memo(function ExpensiveComponent({ data }) {
// Complex rendering logic
return <div>{/* rendered content */}</div>;
}, (prevProps, nextProps) => {
// Custom comparison
return prevProps.data.id === nextProps.data.id;
});
```
**Code Splitting & Lazy Loading**
```typescript
import { lazy, Suspense } from 'react';
// Lazy load components
const HeavyComponent = lazy(() => import('./HeavyComponent'));
function App() {
return (
<Suspense fallback={<div>Loading...</div>}>
<HeavyComponent />
</Suspense>
);
}
// Route-based code splitting
const Dashboard = lazy(() => import('./pages/Dashboard'));
const Settings = lazy(() => import('./pages/Settings'));
```
**Virtual Scrolling for Long Lists**
```typescript
import { useVirtualizer } from '@tanstack/react-virtual';
function VirtualList({ items }) {
const parentRef = useRef(null);
const virtualizer = useVirtualizer({
count: items.length,
getScrollElement: () => parentRef.current,
estimateSize: () => 50,
});
return (
<div ref={parentRef} style={{ height: '400px', overflow: 'auto' }}>
<div style={{ height: `${virtualizer.getTotalSize()}px`, position: 'relative' }}>
{virtualizer.getVirtualItems().map((virtualItem) => (
<div
key={virtualItem.key}
style={{
position: 'absolute',
top: 0,
left: 0,
width: '100%',
height: `${virtualItem.size}px`,
transform: `translateY(${virtualItem.start}px)`,
}}
>
{items[virtualItem.index].name}
</div>
))}
</div>
</div>
);
}
```
### Testing
**React Testing Library**
```typescript
import { render, screen, fireEvent, waitFor } from '@testing-library/react';
import userEvent from '@testing-library/user-event';
import { TodoList } from './TodoList';
describe('TodoList', () => {
it('renders todos', () => {
const todos = [{ id: '1', text: 'Buy milk' }];
render(<TodoList todos={todos} />);
expect(screen.getByText('Buy milk')).toBeInTheDocument();
});
it('adds a new todo', async () => {
const user = userEvent.setup();
const onAdd = jest.fn();
render(<TodoList todos={[]} onAdd={onAdd} />);
const input = screen.getByPlaceholderText('Add todo...');
await user.type(input, 'New todo');
await user.click(screen.getByText('Add'));
expect(onAdd).toHaveBeenCalledWith('New todo');
});
it('deletes a todo', async () => {
const user = userEvent.setup();
const todos = [{ id: '1', text: 'Buy milk' }];
const onDelete = jest.fn();
render(<TodoList todos={todos} onDelete={onDelete} />);
await user.click(screen.getByRole('button', { name: /delete/i }));
expect(onDelete).toHaveBeenCalledWith('1');
});
});
```
**Vitest**
```typescript
import { describe, it, expect, vi } from 'vitest';
import { renderHook, act } from '@testing-library/react';
import { useCounter } from './useCounter';
describe('useCounter', () => {
it('increments counter', () => {
const { result } = renderHook(() => useCounter(0));
act(() => {
result.current.increment();
});
expect(result.current.count).toBe(1);
});
});
```
### Accessibility
```typescript
// Semantic HTML
function ArticleCard({ article }) {
return (
<article>
<header>
<h2>{article.title}</h2>
<time dateTime={article.date}>{formatDate(article.date)}</time>
</header>
<p>{article.excerpt}</p>
<footer>
<a href={`/articles/${article.id}`}>Read more</a>
</footer>
</article>
);
}
// ARIA attributes
function Dialog({ isOpen, onClose, title, children }) {
return (
<div
role="dialog"
aria-modal="true"
aria-labelledby="dialog-title"
hidden={!isOpen}
>
<h2 id="dialog-title">{title}</h2>
{children}
<button onClick={onClose} aria-label="Close dialog">×</button>
</div>
);
}
// Keyboard navigation
function Tabs({ tabs }) {
const [selectedIndex, setSelectedIndex] = useState(0);
const handleKeyDown = (e: React.KeyboardEvent) => {
if (e.key === 'ArrowRight') {
setSelectedIndex((prev) => (prev + 1) % tabs.length);
} else if (e.key === 'ArrowLeft') {
setSelectedIndex((prev) => (prev - 1 + tabs.length) % tabs.length);
}
};
return (
<div role="tablist" onKeyDown={handleKeyDown}>
{tabs.map((tab, index) => (
<button
key={tab.id}
role="tab"
aria-selected={index === selectedIndex}
tabIndex={index === selectedIndex ? 0 : -1}
onClick={() => setSelectedIndex(index)}
>
{tab.label}
</button>
))}
</div>
);
}
```

## Common Patterns I Use
### Custom Hooks for Logic Reuse
```typescript
// useForm hook
function useForm<T>(initialValues: T) {
const [values, setValues] = useState(initialValues);
const [errors, setErrors] = useState<Partial<Record<keyof T, string>>>({});
const handleChange = (name: keyof T, value: any) => {
setValues(prev => ({ ...prev, [name]: value }));
};
const validate = (validationRules: ValidationRules<T>) => {
// Validation logic
};
return { values, errors, handleChange, validate };
}
// useDebounce hook
function useDebounce<T>(value: T, delay: number): T {
const [debouncedValue, setDebouncedValue] = useState(value);
useEffect(() => {
const handler = setTimeout(() => setDebouncedValue(value), delay);
return () => clearTimeout(handler);
}, [value, delay]);
return debouncedValue;
}
```
### Error Boundaries
```typescript
class ErrorBoundary extends React.Component<
{ fallback: ReactNode; children: ReactNode },
{ hasError: boolean }
> {
state = { hasError: false };
static getDerivedStateFromError() {
return { hasError: true };
}
componentDidCatch(error: Error, errorInfo: React.ErrorInfo) {
console.error('Error caught by boundary:', error, errorInfo);
}
render() {
if (this.state.hasError) {
return this.props.fallback;
}
return this.props.children;
}
}
```
## Tools I Recommend
**Development**
- Vite or Next.js for build tool
- TypeScript for type safety
- ESLint + Prettier for code quality
- Husky for git hooks
**UI Libraries**

**Gradual Adoption**: Migrate incrementally, not all at once **Gradual Adoption**: Migrate incrementally, not all at once
**Practical Over Perfect**: Balance type safety with productivity **Practical Over Perfect**: Balance type safety with productivity
## Advanced TypeScript Patterns ## Context Efficiency
### Generic Types I optimize token usage through **high-signal communication**:
- **Reference type definitions**: Point to type files instead of repeating interfaces (e.g., "Types defined in `src/types/api.ts`")
#### Basic Generics - **Provide summaries**: After creating types, give brief overview with file reference
```typescript - **Progressive detail**: Start with core types, add utility types and generics when needed
// Generic function - **Archive verbose types**: Keep type definitions in files, reference them in discussions
function identity<T>(value: T): T {
return value; ## Core Competencies
}
### Type System Expertise
// Generic interface - **Generics**: Type-safe reusable functions and components
interface Box<T> { - **Utility Types**: Pick, Omit, Partial, Required, Record, Readonly, etc.
value: T; - **Conditional Types**: Type-level logic and branching
} - **Mapped Types**: Transform existing types systematically
- **Template Literal Types**: String manipulation at type level
// Generic class - **Discriminated Unions**: Type-safe state machines
class Container<T> { - **Type Inference**: Leverage TypeScript's inference engine
constructor(private value: T) {} - **Type Narrowing**: Control flow analysis for type safety
getValue(): T { ### Advanced Patterns
return this.value;
} **Generic Constraints**
} - Extend types to constrain generic parameters
- Use `keyof` for property access safety
// Multiple type parameters - Combine with utility types for flexible constraints
function pair<T, U>(first: T, second: U): [T, U] {
return [first, second]; **Discriminated Unions**
} - Tagged union types for state management
``` - Exhaustive checking with `never`
- Type-safe reducers and state machines
#### Constrained Generics
```typescript **Branded Types**
// Constraint with extends - Create nominal types in structural type system
interface HasId { - Prevent mixing semantically different values
id: string; - Useful for IDs, currencies, units
}
**Builder Pattern with Types**
function getById<T extends HasId>(items: T[], id: string): T | undefined { - Fluent APIs with type-safe chaining
return items.find(item => item.id === id); - Optional vs required fields through method chaining
} - Compile-time validation of complete objects
// Multiple constraints
interface HasId { id: string; }
interface HasName { name: string; }
function findByIdAndName<T extends HasId & HasName>(
items: T[],
id: string,
name: string
): T | undefined {
return items.find(item => item.id === id && item.name === name);
}
```
#### Generic Constraints with keyof
```typescript
// Extract property by key
function getProperty<T, K extends keyof T>(obj: T, key: K): T[K] {
return obj[key];
}
const user = { name: 'John', age: 30 };
const name = getProperty(user, 'name'); // Type: string
const age = getProperty(user, 'age'); // Type: number
// Update property
function updateProperty<T, K extends keyof T>(
obj: T,
key: K,
value: T[K]
): T {
return { ...obj, [key]: value };
}
```
### Utility Types
#### Built-in Utility Types
```typescript
interface User {
id: string;
name: string;
email: string;
age: number;
isActive: boolean;
}
// Partial - make all properties optional
type PartialUser = Partial<User>;
// Required - make all properties required
type RequiredUser = Required<PartialUser>;
// Readonly - make all properties readonly
type ReadonlyUser = Readonly<User>;
// Pick - select specific properties
type UserPreview = Pick<User, 'id' | 'name'>;
// Omit - exclude specific properties
type UserWithoutEmail = Omit<User, 'email'>;
// Record - create object type with specific keys and values
type UserRoles = Record<string, User>;
// Exclude - remove types from union
type NonAdminRole = Exclude<'admin' | 'user' | 'guest', 'admin'>;
// Extract - extract types from union
type AdminRole = Extract<'admin' | 'user' | 'guest', 'admin'>;
// NonNullable - remove null and undefined
type NonNullableValue = NonNullable<string | null | undefined>;
// ReturnType - extract return type of function
function getUser() {
return { id: '1', name: 'John' };
}
type UserType = ReturnType<typeof getUser>;
// Parameters - extract parameter types
function createUser(name: string, age: number) {}
type CreateUserParams = Parameters<typeof createUser>; // [string, number]
```
#### Custom Utility Types
```typescript
// Make specific properties optional
type Optional<T, K extends keyof T> = Omit<T, K> & Partial<Pick<T, K>>;
type UserWithOptionalEmail = Optional<User, 'email'>;
// Make specific properties required
type RequireField<T, K extends keyof T> = T & Required<Pick<T, K>>;
type UserWithRequiredAge = RequireField<Partial<User>, 'age'>;
// Deep Partial
type DeepPartial<T> = {
[P in keyof T]?: T[P] extends object ? DeepPartial<T[P]> : T[P];
};
// Deep Readonly
type DeepReadonly<T> = {
readonly [P in keyof T]: T[P] extends object ? DeepReadonly<T[P]> : T[P];
};
// Nullable
type Nullable<T> = T | null;
// NonEmptyArray
type NonEmptyArray<T> = [T, ...T[]];
```
### Discriminated Unions
#### Type-Safe State Management
```typescript
// Loading states
type AsyncState<T, E = Error> =
| { status: 'idle' }
| { status: 'loading' }
| { status: 'success'; data: T }
| { status: 'error'; error: E };
function handleState<T>(state: AsyncState<T>) {
switch (state.status) {
case 'idle':
return 'Not started';
case 'loading':
return 'Loading...';
case 'success':
return `Data: ${state.data}`;
case 'error':
return `Error: ${state.error.message}`;
}
}
// API Responses
type ApiResponse<T> =
| { success: true; data: T }
| { success: false; error: string; code: number };
function handleResponse<T>(response: ApiResponse<T>): T {
if (response.success) {
return response.data;
} else {
throw new Error(`API Error ${response.code}: ${response.error}`);
}
}
```
#### Event Types
```typescript
type UserEvent =
| { type: 'login'; userId: string; timestamp: Date }
| { type: 'logout'; userId: string; timestamp: Date }
| { type: 'purchase'; userId: string; productId: string; amount: number }
| { type: 'profile_update'; userId: string; changes: Partial<User> };
function handleEvent(event: UserEvent) {
switch (event.type) {
case 'login':
console.log(`User ${event.userId} logged in`);
break;
case 'logout':
console.log(`User ${event.userId} logged out`);
break;
case 'purchase':
console.log(`User ${event.userId} purchased ${event.productId}`);
break;
case 'profile_update':
console.log(`User ${event.userId} updated profile`);
break;
}
}
```
### Template Literal Types
```typescript
// Type-safe event names
type EventName = 'user:login' | 'user:logout' | 'post:create' | 'post:delete';
// Generate permission strings
type Resource = 'post' | 'comment' | 'user';
type Action = 'create' | 'read' | 'update' | 'delete';
type Permission = `${Resource}:${Action}`;
// API endpoints
type HttpMethod = 'GET' | 'POST' | 'PATCH' | 'DELETE';
type Endpoint = '/users' | '/posts' | '/comments';
type ApiRoute = `${HttpMethod} ${Endpoint}`;
// CSS properties
type CSSUnit = 'px' | 'em' | 'rem' | '%';
type Size = `${number}${CSSUnit}`;
const width: Size = '100px';
const height: Size = '50%';
```
### Mapped Types
```typescript
// Make all properties optional recursively
type DeepPartial<T> = {
[P in keyof T]?: T[P] extends object ? DeepPartial<T[P]> : T[P];
};
// Add prefix to all keys
type Prefixed<T, P extends string> = {
[K in keyof T as `${P}${Capitalize<string & K>}`]: T[K];
};
type User = { name: string; age: number };
type PrefixedUser = Prefixed<User, 'user'>; // { userName: string; userAge: number }
// Convert to getters
type Getters<T> = {
[K in keyof T as `get${Capitalize<string & K>}`]: () => T[K];
};
type UserGetters = Getters<User>;
// { getName: () => string; getAge: () => number }
// Remove readonly
type Mutable<T> = {
-readonly [P in keyof T]: T[P];
};
// Remove optional
type Concrete<T> = {
[P in keyof T]-?: T[P];
};
```
### Conditional Types
```typescript
// Basic conditional
type IsString<T> = T extends string ? true : false;
// Nested conditionals
type TypeName<T> =
T extends string ? 'string' :
T extends number ? 'number' :
T extends boolean ? 'boolean' :
T extends undefined ? 'undefined' :
T extends Function ? 'function' :
'object';
// Distributive conditional types
type ToArray<T> = T extends any ? T[] : never;
type Result = ToArray<string | number>; // string[] | number[]
// Infer keyword
type Unpacked<T> =
T extends Array<infer U> ? U :
T extends Promise<infer U> ? U :
T;
type NumberArray = Unpacked<number[]>; // number
type StringPromise = Unpacked<Promise<string>>; // string
// Function return type extraction
type ReturnTypeOf<T> = T extends (...args: any[]) => infer R ? R : never;
```
## Type-Safe Patterns
### Type Guards
```typescript
// Type predicate
function isString(value: unknown): value is string {
return typeof value === 'string';
}
// Complex type guard
interface Cat { meow: () => void; }
interface Dog { bark: () => void; }
function isCat(animal: Cat | Dog): animal is Cat {
return 'meow' in animal;
}
function handleAnimal(animal: Cat | Dog) {
if (isCat(animal)) {
animal.meow(); // TypeScript knows it's a Cat
} else {
animal.bark(); // TypeScript knows it's a Dog
}
}
// Array type guard
function isStringArray(value: unknown): value is string[] {
return Array.isArray(value) && value.every(item => typeof item === 'string');
}
```
### Builder Pattern with Types
```typescript
class QueryBuilder<T> {
private filters: Array<(item: T) => boolean> = [];
private sortFn?: (a: T, b: T) => number;
where<K extends keyof T>(key: K, value: T[K]): this {
this.filters.push(item => item[key] === value);
return this;
}
sortBy<K extends keyof T>(key: K, order: 'asc' | 'desc' = 'asc'): this {
this.sortFn = (a, b) => {
const aVal = a[key];
const bVal = b[key];
if (aVal < bVal) return order === 'asc' ? -1 : 1;
if (aVal > bVal) return order === 'asc' ? 1 : -1;
return 0;
};
return this;
}
execute(data: T[]): T[] {
let result = data.filter(item =>
this.filters.every(filter => filter(item))
);
if (this.sortFn) {
result = result.sort(this.sortFn);
}
return result;
}
}
// Usage
const users = [
{ name: 'John', age: 30 },
{ name: 'Jane', age: 25 },
];
const result = new QueryBuilder<typeof users[0]>()
.where('age', 30)
.sortBy('name', 'desc')
.execute(users);
```
### Type-Safe API Client
```typescript
// Define API schema
type ApiSchema = {
'/users': {
GET: {
response: User[];
};
POST: {
body: { name: string; email: string };
response: User;
};
};
'/users/:id': {
GET: {
params: { id: string };
response: User;
};
PATCH: {
params: { id: string };
body: Partial<User>;
response: User;
};
};
};
// Type-safe client
class ApiClient<Schema extends Record<string, any>> {
async request<
Path extends keyof Schema,
Method extends keyof Schema[Path],
Config = Schema[Path][Method]
>(
path: Path,
method: Method,
options?: {
params?: Config extends { params: infer P } ? P : never;
body?: Config extends { body: infer B } ? B : never;
}
): Promise<Config extends { response: infer R } ? R : never> {
// Implementation
return null as any;
}
}
// Usage (fully type-safe!)
const api = new ApiClient<ApiSchema>();
const users = await api.request('/users', 'GET'); // Type: User[]
const user = await api.request('/users/:id', 'GET', {
params: { id: '123' }
}); // Type: User
```
## TypeScript Configuration ## TypeScript Configuration
### Strict Configuration **Strict Mode (Required):** Enable strict, strictNullChecks, strictFunctionTypes, noImplicitAny, noImplicitThis, noUnusedLocals, noUnusedParameters, noImplicitReturns, esModuleInterop, skipLibCheck
```json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "ES2022",
"lib": ["ES2022", "DOM", "DOM.Iterable"],
"module": "ESNext",
"moduleResolution": "bundler",
"resolveJsonModule": true,
// Strict mode
"strict": true,
"strictNullChecks": true,
"strictFunctionTypes": true,
"strictBindCallApply": true,
"strictPropertyInitialization": true,
"noImplicitThis": true,
"alwaysStrict": true,
// Additional checks
"noUnusedLocals": true,
"noUnusedParameters": true,
"noImplicitReturns": true,
"noFallthroughCasesInSwitch": true,
"noUncheckedIndexedAccess": true,
// Quality of life
"esModuleInterop": true,
"skipLibCheck": true,
"forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
// Paths
"baseUrl": ".",
"paths": {
"@/*": ["./src/*"]
}
}
}
```
## Migration from JavaScript See `development-guidelines.md` for complete tsconfig.json reference.
### Gradual Migration Strategy **Project Organization**
- Use path aliases for cleaner imports (`@/components` vs `../../components`)
#### Phase 1: Enable TypeScript - Separate types into dedicated files (`types/`, `@types/`)
```json - Use declaration files (`.d.ts`) for ambient declarations
{ - Configure `include` and `exclude` appropriately
"compilerOptions": {
"allowJs": true,
"checkJs": false,
"strict": false
}
}
```
#### Phase 2: Add Type Checking
```json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"allowJs": true,
"checkJs": true,
"strict": false
}
}
```
#### Phase 3: Rename Files
Rename `.js` files to `.ts` one at a time, starting with:
1. Utility functions
2. Constants and types
3. Components
4. Pages/routes
#### Phase 4: Enable Strict Mode
```json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"allowJs": false,
"strict": true
}
}
```
### Migration Patterns
#### From PropTypes to TypeScript
```typescript
// Before (PropTypes)
Component.propTypes = {
name: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
age: PropTypes.number,
onSubmit: PropTypes.func,
};
// After (TypeScript)
interface ComponentProps {
name: string;
age?: number;
onSubmit?: () => void;
}
function Component({ name, age, onSubmit }: ComponentProps) {
// ...
}
```
#### Adding Types to Existing Code
```typescript
// Before (JavaScript)
function calculateTotal(items) {
return items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price, 0);
}
// After (TypeScript)
interface Item {
price: number;
}
function calculateTotal(items: Item[]): number {
return items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price, 0);
}
```
## Performance Optimization
### Compilation Performance
```json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"incremental": true,
"tsBuildInfoFile": "./.tsbuildinfo"
}
}
```
### Type-Only Imports
```typescript
// Only import types (removed at runtime)
import type { User } from './types';
// Import both value and type
import { type User, createUser } from './api';
```
### Skip Library Checks
```json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"skipLibCheck": true
}
}
```
## Common Patterns & Solutions ## Common Patterns & Solutions
### Optional Chaining & Nullish Coalescing **Type-Safe API Responses**
```typescript - Define request/response interfaces
const user: User | undefined = getUser(); - Use discriminated unions for success/error states
- Generic wrapper types for consistent API structure
- Zod or similar for runtime validation + type inference
// Optional chaining **Type-Safe State Management**
const name = user?.profile?.name; - Discriminated unions for actions (Redux, Zustand)
const firstPost = user?.posts?.[0]; - Generic context providers with proper typing
const likeCount = user?.posts?.[0]?.likes?.length; - Type-safe selectors and hooks
- Inferred state types from reducers
// Nullish coalescing **Form Handling**
const displayName = user?.name ?? 'Anonymous'; - Generic form field types
const age = user?.age ?? 0; - Type-safe validation schemas (Zod)
``` - Infer form types from schemas
- Type-safe error handling
### Type Assertions **Database Models**
```typescript - Prisma types for end-to-end type safety
// As assertion - Separate DTOs from database models
const input = document.querySelector('input') as HTMLInputElement; - Use utility types to transform models for APIs
- Type-safe query builders
// Const assertion ## Migration Strategy
const config = {
apiUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
timeout: 5000,
} as const;
// Non-null assertion (use sparingly!) **From JavaScript to TypeScript**
const value = getValue()!;
```
### Declaration Files 1. **Setup** (Day 1)
```typescript - Install TypeScript and types (`@types/*`)
// types.d.ts - Configure `tsconfig.json` with `allowJs: true`
declare module '*.svg' { - Rename one file to `.ts` to verify setup
const content: string;
export default content;
}
declare module '*.css' { 2. **Gradual Conversion** (Weeks 1-N)
const classes: { [key: string]: string }; - Start with utility files (no dependencies)
export default classes; - Move to leaf modules (heavily depended upon)
} - Add types incrementally, use `any` temporarily
- Enable strict checks file-by-file
// Global types 3. **Strict Mode** (Final phase)
declare global { - Enable `noImplicitAny`
interface Window { - Enable `strictNullChecks`
gtag: (...args: any[]) => void; - Enable full `strict` mode
} - Remove `allowJs` when complete
}
```
## Let's Improve Your Types **Quick Wins**
- Type function parameters and return types
- Use utility types instead of manual duplication
- Replace enums with const objects + `as const`
- Use type guards for runtime type checking
Tell me what you need: ## Best Practices
- Complex type problems to solve
- Code to migrate to TypeScript
- Type safety improvements
- Generic type implementations
- Configuration optimization
I'll provide: **Do's**
- Precise type definitions - Use `interface` for object shapes (extendable)
- Refactored code with better types - Use `type` for unions, intersections, utilities
- Migration strategies - Prefer `unknown` over `any` for truly unknown types
- Performance improvements - Use `const` assertions for literal types
- Best practices - Leverage type inference (don't over-annotate)
- Use generics for reusable, type-safe code
- Create utility types for common transformations
Let's make your TypeScript codebase rock-solid! 🎯 **Don'ts**
- Don't use `any` (use `unknown` or proper types)
- Don't disable strict checks globally
- Don't use `as` casting unless absolutely necessary
- Don't ignore TypeScript errors (`@ts-ignore` sparingly)
- Don't create overly complex types (keep them readable)
- Don't forget to handle null/undefined explicitly
## Performance & Optimization
**Compilation Speed**
- Use project references for large monorepos
- Enable `incremental` compilation
- Use `skipLibCheck` to skip checking node_modules types
- Exclude unnecessary files (`node_modules`, `dist`)
**Type Performance**
- Avoid deeply nested conditional types
- Cache complex type computations
- Use simpler types when generics aren't needed
- Profile with `tsc --extendedDiagnostics`
## Debugging Types
**Inspection Techniques**
- Hover in IDE to see inferred types
- Use `type X = typeof value` to extract types
- Create test types to verify complex types
- Use `Parameters<T>` and `ReturnType<T>` to inspect functions
**Common Issues**
- Type too wide: Add constraints or narrow with type guards
- Type too narrow: Use union types or generics
- Circular references: Break into smaller types
- Inference failures: Add explicit type annotations
When you need TypeScript help, I'll provide precise, practical type solutions that enhance safety without sacrificing developer experience.

# Deployment Strategies for JavaScript Applications # Deployment Strategies for JavaScript Applications
Quick reference for deployment patterns and platforms.
## Deployment Patterns ## Deployment Patterns
### 1. Rolling Deployment **Rolling Deployment** - Gradual instance replacement. Pros: Simple, zero downtime. Cons: Old/new versions mix during deploy. Best for: Most apps (default)
**How it works:** Gradually replace old instances with new ones
**Pros:** **Blue-Green** - Two identical environments, switch traffic. Pros: Instant rollback, pre-test. Cons: 2x infrastructure cost. Best for: Critical apps needing instant rollback
- Simple to implement
- No additional infrastructure needed
- Zero downtime
**Cons:** **Canary** - Route small % to new version, increase gradually. Pros: Safe real-user testing, early detection. Cons: Complex routing, needs good monitoring. Best for: High-risk changes, large user bases
- During deployment, old and new versions run simultaneously
- Rollback requires another deployment
**Best for:** Most applications, default choice ## Recommended Platforms
### 2. Blue-Green Deployment ### Frontend (Next.js/React)
**How it works:** Two identical environments, switch traffic between them **Vercel** - Zero-config Next.js, automatic HTTPS, global CDN, preview deployments, serverless functions
**Netlify** - JAMstack focus, forms, serverless, similar to Vercel
**Pros:** ### Backend / Full-Stack
- Instant rollback (switch back) **Railway** - Simple, PostgreSQL/Redis/MongoDB included, GitHub integration, automatic SSL
- Test new version before switching **Render** - Similar to Railway, good for Node.js/Docker, managed databases
- Zero downtime **Fly.io** - Global edge deployment, Docker-based, great for WebSocket apps
**Cons:** ### Enterprise / Complex
- Double infrastructure cost during deployment **AWS (ECS/Fargate)** - Full control, scalable, complex setup, higher cost
- Database migrations can be tricky **Google Cloud Run** - Serverless containers, auto-scaling, pay per use
**DigitalOcean App Platform** - Simple Heroku alternative, reasonable pricing
**Best for:** Critical applications needing instant rollback ## CI/CD Pattern
### 3. Canary Deployment **GitHub Actions** - Test on PR, deploy on merge to main
**How it works:** Route small % of traffic to new version, gradually increase **GitLab CI** - Similar workflow, built-in container registry
**CircleCI** - Fast, good caching, pipeline visualization
**Pros:** **Standard Flow:**
- Test with real users safely 1. Push to branch → Run tests
- Early problem detection 2. Merge to main → Build + test
- Gradual rollout reduces risk 3. Deploy to staging → Run smoke tests
4. Deploy to production (manual approval for critical apps)
**Cons:** 5. Monitor metrics post-deploy
- Complex routing logic
- Need good monitoring
- Longer deployment time
**Best for:** High-risk changes, large user bases
## Platform-Specific Deployment
### Vercel (Recommended for Next.js)
```bash
# Install Vercel CLI
npm i -g vercel
# Deploy
vercel --prod
# Environment variables
vercel env add DATABASE_URL production
```
**Features:**
- Automatic HTTPS
- Global CDN
- Preview deployments for PRs
- Zero-config for Next.js
- Serverless functions
### Railway (Backend/Full-stack)
```bash
# Install Railway CLI
npm i -g @railway/cli
# Login and init
railway login
railway init
# Deploy
railway up
```
**Features:**
- PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB
- Environment variables
- Automatic SSL
- GitHub integration
### Docker + Fly.io
```dockerfile
# Dockerfile
FROM node:18-alpine
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci --only=production
COPY . .
RUN npm run build
CMD ["npm", "start"]
```
```bash
# Deploy
fly launch
fly deploy
```
### AWS (EC2/ECS/Fargate)
- Most flexible
- Complex setup
- Full control
- Higher costs
### DigitalOcean App Platform
- Simple like Heroku
- Reasonable pricing
- Good for full-stack apps
## CI/CD Setup
### GitHub Actions
**.github/workflows/deploy.yml:**
```yaml
name: Deploy to Production
on:
push:
branches: [main]
jobs:
test:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: actions/setup-node@v3
with:
node-version: 18
- run: npm ci
- run: npm test
- run: npm run build
deploy:
needs: test
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- name: Deploy to Vercel
run: npx vercel --prod --token=${{ secrets.VERCEL_TOKEN }}
```
## Database Migrations
### Strategy 1: Migrations Before Deployment
```bash
# Run migrations before deploying new code
npm run db:migrate
npm run deploy
```
**Pros:** Safer, new code expects new schema
**Cons:** Brief downtime if migration is slow
### Strategy 2: Backward-Compatible Migrations
```bash
# 1. Deploy code that works with old and new schema
# 2. Run migration
# 3. Deploy code that uses new schema only
```
**Pros:** Zero downtime
**Cons:** More complex, requires multiple deploys
### Prisma Migrations
```bash
# Generate migration
npx prisma migrate dev --name add_user_role
# Apply in production
npx prisma migrate deploy
```
## Environment Management ## Environment Management
### Environments **Local:** .env file (never commit)
- **Development:** Local machine **Staging/Production:** Platform environment variables or secrets manager
- **Staging:** Pre-production testing **Secrets:** AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault, or platform-specific
- **Production:** Live application
### Environment Variables ## Database Migrations
```bash
# Development (.env.local)
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://localhost:5432/dev
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://localhost:3000
# Staging **Strategy:** Run migrations BEFORE deploying new code
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://staging.db/app **Tools:** Prisma migrate, TypeORM migrations, or raw SQL scripts
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=https://staging.app.com **Safety:** Test migrations on staging first, backup before production
# Production ## Monitoring Post-Deploy
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://prod.db/app
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=https://app.com
```
## Rollback Strategies - Health check endpoints (`/health`, `/ready`)
- Error tracking (Sentry, Rollbar)
- Performance monitoring (Datadog, New Relic)
- Log aggregation (Logtail, Better Stack)
- Alert on error rate spikes or response time degradation
### 1. Git Revert + Redeploy ## Rollback Plan
```bash
git revert HEAD
git push origin main
# Triggers new deployment
```
### 2. Previous Build Rollback **Immediate:** Revert to previous deployment (platform UI or CLI)
Most platforms keep previous builds: **Database:** Keep backward-compatible migrations for at least one version
```bash **Feature Flags:** Use feature flags to disable new features without redeployment
# Vercel
vercel rollback
# Railway
railway rollback
# Fly.io
fly releases
fly deploy --image <previous-image>
```
### 3. Blue-Green Switch Back
If using blue-green, switch traffic back to previous environment
## Health Checks
```typescript
// /api/health endpoint
app.get('/health', async (req, res) => {
try {
// Check database
await prisma.$queryRaw`SELECT 1`;
// Check Redis
await redis.ping();
res.json({ status: 'healthy' });
} catch (error) {
res.status(503).json({ status: 'unhealthy', error });
}
});
```
## Monitoring Post-Deployment
### Metrics to Watch
- Error rate
- Response time (p50, p95, p99)
- CPU/Memory usage
- Database connection pool
- API endpoint latencies
### Tools
- **Sentry:** Error tracking
- **Datadog:** Full APM
- **Vercel Analytics:** Frontend vitals
- **PostHog:** Product analytics
- **Uptime Robot:** Uptime monitoring
## Deployment Checklist
### Pre-Deployment
- [ ] All tests pass locally and in CI
- [ ] Code reviewed and approved
- [ ] Database migrations tested on staging
- [ ] Environment variables configured
- [ ] Rollback plan ready
- [ ] Team notified of deployment
### During Deployment
- [ ] Monitor error rates
- [ ] Check health endpoints
- [ ] Verify critical user flows
- [ ] Watch application metrics
### Post-Deployment
- [ ] Smoke test production
- [ ] Check error tracking (Sentry)
- [ ] Monitor for 24 hours
- [ ] Update changelog
- [ ] Mark deployment as successful
## Common Issues & Solutions
**Issue:** Database connection pool exhausted
**Solution:** Increase pool size or implement connection pooling middleware
**Issue:** Cold starts in serverless
**Solution:** Use provisioned concurrency or switch to container-based hosting
**Issue:** Build failing in CI
**Solution:** Ensure all dependencies in package.json, check environment variables
**Issue:** Rollback needed
**Solution:** Use platform-specific rollback or git revert + redeploy

# JavaScript/TypeScript Development Guidelines # JavaScript/TypeScript Development Guidelines
## Overview Quick reference for coding standards and conventions. See `best-practices.md` for implementation patterns.
This document establishes coding standards, best practices, and conventions for JavaScript/TypeScript full-stack development. These guidelines ensure consistency, quality, and maintainability.
## TypeScript Standards ## TypeScript Standards
### Configuration **Required tsconfig.json**: strict: true, noImplicitAny, strictNullChecks, noImplicitReturns, noUnusedLocals
**Required tsconfig.json settings:**
```json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"strict": true,
"noImplicitAny": true,
"strictNullChecks": true,
"strictFunctionTypes": true,
"noImplicitReturns": true,
"noUnusedLocals": true,
"noUnusedParameters": true,
"esModuleInterop": true,
"skipLibCheck": true,
"forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true
}
}
```
### Type Definitions **Type Rules:**
- **No `any` types** - Use `unknown` if type is truly unknown - No `any` - use `unknown` for truly unknown types
- **Interface vs Type** - Prefer interfaces for object shapes, types for unions/intersections - `interface` for objects, `type` for unions/intersections
- **Explicit return types** - Always specify return types for functions - Explicit function return types
- **Proper generics** - Use generics for reusable type-safe code - Generics for reusable type-safe code
```typescript
// ✅ Good
interface UserProps {
id: string;
name: string;
email: string;
}
function getUser(id: string): Promise<User | null> {
return db.user.findUnique({ where: { id } });
}
// ❌ Bad
function getUser(id: any): any {
return db.user.findUnique({ where: { id } });
}
```
## Naming Conventions ## Naming Conventions
### Files and Folders **Files:** kebab-case (utils), PascalCase (components), camelCase (hooks)
- **kebab-case** for utility files: `api-client.ts`, `string-utils.ts` **Variables:** camelCase (functions/vars), PascalCase (classes), UPPER_SNAKE_CASE (constants)
- **PascalCase** for components: `UserProfile.tsx`, `TodoList.tsx` **Descriptive:** `isLoading` not `loading`, `handleSubmit` not `submit`
- **camelCase** for hooks: `useAuth.ts`, `useLocalStorage.ts`
### Variables and Functions ## React Guidelines
- **camelCase** for variables and functions: `userName`, `fetchData()`
- **PascalCase** for classes and components: `UserService`, `Button`
- **UPPER_SNAKE_CASE** for constants: `API_BASE_URL`, `MAX_RETRIES`
- **Descriptive names** - `isLoading` not `loading`, `handleSubmit` not `submit`
```typescript **Hooks:** Top-level only, consistent order, no conditional calls
// ✅ Good **State:** useState (local), React Query (server), Zustand (global), useMemo (derived)
const MAX_RETRY_COUNT = 3; **Components:** < 300 lines, TypeScript props, functional with hooks
const isAuthenticated = checkAuth();
function calculateTotalPrice(items: Item[]): number { }
// ❌ Bad ## Backend Guidelines
const max = 3;
const auth = checkAuth();
function calc(items: any): any { }
```
## React Best Practices **API Design:** RESTful (`GET /api/v1/users` not `/getUsers`), versioning, proper HTTP methods/codes
**Validation:** Zod or Joi for all inputs, sanitize outputs
**Error Handling:** Custom error classes, centralized middleware, structured logging
### Component Structure ## Project Structure
```typescript
// ✅ Good component structure
interface ButtonProps {
children: React.ReactNode;
onClick: () => void;
variant?: 'primary' | 'secondary';
disabled?: boolean;
}
export function Button({ **Frontend:** components/ (ui, features, layout), hooks/, lib/, pages/, styles/, types/
children, **Backend:** controllers/, services/, repositories/, middleware/, routes/, types/, config/
onClick,
variant = 'primary',
disabled = false
}: ButtonProps) {
return (
<button
onClick={onClick}
disabled={disabled}
className={`btn btn-${variant}`}
>
{children}
</button>
);
}
```
### Hooks Rules
- Call hooks at the top level
- Call hooks in the same order
- Only call hooks from React functions
```typescript
// ✅ Good
function Component() {
const [state, setState] = useState(0);
const data = useFetch('/api/data');
useEffect(() => {
// effect
}, []);
return <div>{data}</div>;
}
// ❌ Bad - conditional hook
function Component() {
if (condition) {
useState(0); // ❌ Don't do this
}
}
```
### State Management
- **Local state** - `useState` for component-only state
- **Server state** - React Query/SWR for API data
- **Global state** - Zustand/Redux only when necessary
- **Derived state** - `useMemo` for computed values
## Backend Best Practices
### API Endpoints
```typescript
// ✅ Good - RESTful design
GET /api/v1/users
POST /api/v1/users
PATCH /api/v1/users/:id
DELETE /api/v1/users/:id
// ❌ Bad - non-RESTful
GET /api/v1/getUsers
POST /api/v1/createUser
POST /api/v1/updateUser/:id
```
### Error Handling
```typescript
// ✅ Good - centralized error handling
class AppError extends Error {
constructor(
public statusCode: number,
public message: string,
public isOperational = true
) {
super(message);
}
}
app.use((err: Error, req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) => {
if (err instanceof AppError) {
return res.status(err.statusCode).json({
error: err.message
});
}
console.error(err);
res.status(500).json({ error: 'Internal server error' });
});
```
### Input Validation
```typescript
// ✅ Good - Zod validation
import { z } from 'zod';
const createUserSchema = z.object({
email: z.string().email(),
name: z.string().min(2),
password: z.string().min(8),
});
app.post('/users', async (req, res) => {
const result = createUserSchema.safeParse(req.body);
if (!result.success) {
return res.status(400).json({
errors: result.error.errors
});
}
const user = await createUser(result.data);
res.status(201).json(user);
});
```

### Frontend Tests **Frontend:** React Testing Library, test interactions not implementation, >80% coverage
```typescript **Backend:** Jest + Supertest, integration tests for APIs, mock external services, >85% coverage
// ✅ Good - React Testing Library
import { render, screen, fireEvent } from '@testing-library/react';
import { Button } from './Button';
describe('Button', () => { ## Security (see security-guidelines.md for details)
it('calls onClick when clicked', async () => {
const handleClick = jest.fn();
render(<Button onClick={handleClick}>Click me</Button>);
await fireEvent.click(screen.getByText('Click me')); **Auth:** bcrypt for passwords, JWT (short expiry), refresh tokens, httpOnly cookies
**Input:** Validate ALL inputs (Zod/Joi), sanitize HTML, parameterized queries
**API:** CORS (specific origins), rate limiting, CSRF protection, Helmet.js headers
expect(handleClick).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1); ## Performance (see best-practices.md for implementation)
});
});
```
### Backend Tests **Frontend:** Code splitting, lazy loading, next/image, memoization, virtual scrolling
```typescript **Backend:** Database indexes, connection pooling, Redis caching, pagination, background jobs
// ✅ Good - Supertest API tests
import request from 'supertest';
import { app } from '../app';
describe('POST /users', () => { ## Git Commits
it('creates a new user', async () => {
const response = await request(app)
.post('/users')
.send({
email: 'test@example.com',
name: 'Test User',
password: 'password123',
})
.expect(201);
expect(response.body).toMatchObject({ **Format:** `<type>(<scope>): <subject>`
email: 'test@example.com', **Types:** feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, test, chore

# <!-- Powered by BMAD™ Core -->
# Create Checkpoint Summary Task
## Purpose
Compact accumulated context from workflow phases into concise summaries that maintain essential information while reducing token usage for subsequent phases. Implements the "compaction strategy" from effective context engineering.
## When to Use
- After major decision points (architecture chosen, tech stack selected)
- Before transitioning between workflow phases
- After 5+ sequential agent interactions
- When detailed discussions need to be archived with key decisions preserved
## Prerequisites
- Completed phase with multiple artifacts or discussions
- Clear understanding of what decisions were made
- Identified next phase that needs minimal context to proceed
## Process
### 1. Identify Context to Compact
**Review Phase Outputs:**
- All artifacts created in the current phase
- Key decisions and their rationale
- Technical discussions and conclusions
- Rejected alternatives (if critical for future reference)
**Determine Signal vs Noise:**
- **High Signal** (keep): Final decisions, artifact paths, constraints, dependencies
- **Low Signal** (archive): Verbose discussions, iteration history, detailed pros/cons
### 2. Extract Essential Information
**Decisions Made:**
- What was decided (1-2 sentence summary)
- Brief rationale (why this choice)
- Reference to detailed documentation (file path)
**Artifacts Created:**
- File path and one-line description
- Who should reference it and when
- Critical information it contains
**Constraints & Dependencies:**
- Technical constraints discovered
- Dependencies between decisions
- Blockers or risks identified
### 3. Create Checkpoint Document
**Structure:**
```markdown
# Phase Checkpoint: [Phase Name]
## Context
[2-3 sentences describing what this phase accomplished]
## Key Decisions
1. **[Decision]** - [Brief rationale] → Details: `[artifact-path]`
2. **[Decision]** - [Brief rationale] → Details: `[artifact-path]`
## Artifacts Created
- `[path/to/artifact.md]` - [one-line description]
- `[path/to/artifact.md]` - [one-line description]
## Critical Constraints
- [Constraint or requirement that impacts next phase]
## Next Phase Requirements
[3-5 sentences of essential context needed for next phase]
## Detailed References
Full analysis and discussions archived in: `[archive-path]/`
```
**File Naming:** `docs/checkpoints/[phase-name]-checkpoint.md`
### 4. Validate Checkpoint Quality
**Completeness Check:**
- [ ] All major decisions documented with rationale
- [ ] All artifacts listed with paths
- [ ] Critical constraints identified
- [ ] Next phase has sufficient context
- [ ] Checkpoint is < 100 lines
**Context Reduction Check:**
- [ ] Checkpoint is 80%+ smaller than full phase context
- [ ] No duplicate information from artifacts
- [ ] References use paths, not content repetition
- [ ] Verbose discussions compressed to conclusions
### 5. Archive Detailed Context
**Move to Archive:**
- Long technical discussions → `docs/archive/[phase-name]/discussions/`
- Iteration history → `docs/archive/[phase-name]/iterations/`
- Rejected alternatives → `docs/archive/[phase-name]/alternatives/`
**Keep Active:**
- Checkpoint summary
- Final artifacts (architecture docs, specs, etc.)
- Critical decision records
## Checkpoint Templates by Phase
### Architecture Phase Checkpoint
```markdown
# Architecture Phase Checkpoint
## Context
Architecture designed for [project type]. Selected [stack] based on [key requirements].
## Key Decisions
1. **Frontend**: [Framework] - [Why] → `docs/architecture/system-architecture.md`
2. **Backend**: [Framework] - [Why] → `docs/architecture/system-architecture.md`
3. **Database**: [Database] - [Why] → `docs/architecture/system-architecture.md`
## Artifacts
- `docs/architecture/system-architecture.md` - Complete system design
- `docs/architecture/technology-stack-decision.md` - Stack rationale
## Constraints
- [Technical constraint]
- [Business constraint]
## For Implementation Phase
[Brief context about architecture approach, key patterns to follow, integration points]
```
### Feature Analysis Checkpoint
```markdown
# Feature Analysis Checkpoint
## Context
Analyzed feature: [feature name]. Identified impact on [affected areas].
## Key Decisions
1. **Implementation Approach**: [Approach] - [Why] → `docs/features/[name]/technical-spec.md`
2. **Database Changes**: [Changes] - [Why] → `docs/features/[name]/technical-spec.md`
## Artifacts
- `docs/features/[name]/requirements.md` - User requirements
- `docs/features/[name]/technical-spec.md` - Implementation details
## Constraints
- Must maintain compatibility with [system]
- Performance target: [metric]
## For Story Creation
[Brief guide for breaking into stories, key technical considerations, testing approach]
```
## Best Practices
### Be Ruthless in Compression
- If it's in an artifact, don't repeat it in checkpoint
- If it's a detail, reference the artifact
- If it's a conclusion, state it concisely
### Optimize for Next Agent
- What does the next agent absolutely need to know?
- What can they find in referenced artifacts?
- What context would waste their token budget?
### Maintain Traceability
- Always provide artifact paths for details
- Archive full discussions with clear paths
- Enable reconstruction of decisions if needed
## Common Pitfalls
**Over-Compression:**
- Don't omit critical constraints
- Don't skip key decision rationale
- Don't lose dependency information
**Under-Compression:**
- Don't repeat artifact contents
- Don't include full discussions
- Don't list all rejected options (only critical ones)
**Poor Structure:**
- Don't mix decisions with implementation details
- Don't bury critical info in long paragraphs
- Don't forget to reference artifact paths
## Success Criteria
**Effective Checkpoint:**
- [ ] < 100 lines total
- [ ] 80%+ smaller than original context
- [ ] All decisions captured with brief rationale
- [ ] All artifacts referenced by path
- [ ] Next phase agent can proceed with checkpoint + artifacts only
- [ ] Detailed context archived with clear paths
**Quality Validation:**
- [ ] Developer unfamiliar with phase can understand decisions
- [ ] No need to read full discussion history
- [ ] Critical information not lost
- [ ] Traceable to detailed artifacts
## Integration with Workflows
**In Workflow YAML:**
```yaml
- agent: analyst OR js-solution-architect OR sm
action: create_checkpoint
