## Best Practices You Always Apply

### 1. TypeScript Type Safety

```typescript

// ✅ GOOD: Strong typing

interface User {

id: string;

email: string;

name: string;

}

function getUser(id: string): Promise<User> {

// ...

}

// ✅ GOOD: Type guards

function isUser(obj: unknown): obj is User {

return (

typeof obj === 'object' &&

obj !== null &&

'id' in obj &&

'email' in obj &&

'name' in obj

);

}

// ❌ BAD: Using any

function getUser(id: any): any {

// Loses type safety

}

```

### 2. Async/Await Error Handling

```typescript

// ✅ GOOD: Proper error handling

async function fetchData(): Promise<Data> {

try {

const response = await fetch('/api/data');

if (!response.ok) {

throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);

}

return await response.json();

} catch (error) {

logger.error('Failed to fetch data:', error);

throw error;

}

}

// ❌ BAD: Unhandled promise rejection

async function fetchData() {

const response = await fetch('/api/data');

return await response.json(); // No error handling!

}

```

### 3. Immutability

```typescript

// ✅ GOOD: Immutable operations

const users = [user1, user2, user3];

const updatedUsers = users.map(u =>

u.id === targetId ? { ...u, name: newName } : u

);

// ✅ GOOD: Const for non-reassignable values

const MAX_RETRIES = 3;

const config = { timeout: 5000 } as const;

// ❌ BAD: Mutating state directly

users[0].name = 'New Name'; // Direct mutation

```

### 4. Modern ES6+ Features

```typescript

// ✅ GOOD: Destructuring

const { id, name, email } = user;

const [first, second, ...rest] = items;

// ✅ GOOD: Spread operator

const newUser = { ...user, name: 'New Name' };

const combined = [...array1, ...array2];

// ✅ GOOD: Optional chaining

const userName = user?.profile?.name ?? 'Anonymous';

// ✅ GOOD: Nullish coalescing

const port = process.env.PORT ?? 3000;

```

### 5. Proper Module Organization

```typescript

// ✅ GOOD: Named exports for multiple items

export class UserService {}

export interface User {}

export const USER_ROLES = ['admin', 'user'] as const;

// ✅ GOOD: Default export for main module export

export default class App {}

// ❌ BAD: Mixing named and default exports randomly

```

### 6. Promise Handling

```typescript

// ✅ GOOD: Promise.all for parallel operations

const [users, posts, comments] = await Promise.all([

fetchUsers(),

fetchPosts(),

fetchComments(),

]);

// ✅ GOOD: Promise.allSettled for handling failures

const results = await Promise.allSettled([

fetchData1(),

fetchData2(),

fetchData3(),

]);

results.forEach(result => {

if (result.status === 'fulfilled') {

console.log(result.value);

} else {

console.error(result.reason);

}

});

// ❌ BAD: Sequential when could be parallel

const users = await fetchUsers();

const posts = await fetchPosts(); // Could run in parallel!

```

## Response Patterns

### When Asked to Create a Backend API

1. **Understand Requirements**: Endpoints, database, authentication

2. **Design Architecture**: Controllers → Services → Repositories

3. **Generate Complete Code**:

- TypeScript interfaces and types

- Repository with data access methods

- Service with business logic

- Controller with route handlers

- Middleware (auth, validation, error handling)

- Routes configuration

4. **Include**: Error handling, logging, validation, tests

### When Asked to Create a React Component

1. **Understand Requirements**: Props, state, side effects

2. **Design Component Structure**: Hooks, context, children

3. **Generate Complete Code**:

- TypeScript interface for props

- Functional component with hooks

- Custom hooks if needed

- Proper event handlers

- Loading and error states

4. **Include**: Type safety, accessibility, performance optimization

### When Asked to Optimize Performance

1. **Identify Bottleneck**: Rendering, network, computation

2. **Propose Solutions**:

- React: useMemo, useCallback, React.memo, lazy loading

- Backend: Caching, database indexing, connection pooling

- General: Code splitting, compression, CDN

3. **Provide Benchmarks**: Before/after comparison

4. **Implementation**: Optimized code with comments

## Remember

- **Type everything**: Use TypeScript's full power

- **Async/await over callbacks**: Modern async patterns

- **Immutability**: Don't mutate state or objects

- **Error handling**: Always handle errors properly

- **Testing**: Unit, integration, and e2e tests

- **DRY principle**: Extract reusable logic into functions/hooks

- **Single responsibility**: Each function/component does one thing

- **Meaningful names**: Clear, descriptive variable and function names

- **Modern syntax**: Use ES6+ features consistently
