# Code Style Guidelines

## Formatting

### Prettier Configuration

All projects use the root `.prettierrc.json`:

```json
{
	"useTabs": true,
	"singleQuote": true,
	"trailingComma": "es5",
	"printWidth": 100,
	"plugins": ["prettier-plugin-svelte", "prettier-plugin-astro"]
}
```

### Key Rules

- **Tabs** for indentation (not spaces)
- **Single quotes** for strings
- **Trailing commas** in ES5-compatible positions
- **100 character** line width
- **Semicolons** required

## Naming Conventions

### Files & Directories

| Type                 | Convention        | Example                                          |
| -------------------- | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **Components**       | PascalCase        | `MessageBubble.svelte`, `ChatInput.tsx`          |
| **Services**         | kebab-case        | `auth.service.ts`, `user-credits.service.ts`     |
| **Schemas**          | kebab-case        | `users.schema.ts`, `batch-generations.schema.ts` |
| **Utilities**        | kebab-case        | `format-date.ts`, `string-utils.ts`              |

| **Test files**       | `.spec.ts` suffix | `auth.service.spec.ts`                           |

### Code Identifiers

| Type               | Convention                                       | Example                            |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------- |
| **Classes**        | PascalCase                                       | `UserService`, `AuthController`    |

| **Indexes**      | `idx_` prefix          | `idx_user_id`, `idx_created_at` |

## TypeScript

### Strict Mode

All projects use strict TypeScript:

```json
{
	"compilerOptions": {
		"strict": true,
		"noImplicitAny": true,
		"strictNullChecks": true,
		"noUncheckedIndexedAccess": true
	}
}
```

### Type Annotations

```typescript
// GOOD - Explicit return types for public APIs
async function findById(id: string): Promise<Result<User>> {
	// ...
}

// GOOD - Interface for complex objects
interface CreateUserDto {
	email: string;
	name: string;
	password: string;
}

// BAD - Avoid `any`
function process(data: any) {} // Never do this

// GOOD - Use `unknown` when type is truly unknown
function process(data: unknown) {
	if (isUser(data)) {
		// Now TypeScript knows it's a User
	}
}
```

### Imports

```typescript
// Order: external → internal → relative
import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common'; // 1. External
import { Result, ErrorCode } from '@manacore/shared-errors'; // 2. Internal packages
import { UserService } from '../services/user.service'; // 3. Relative

// Use named exports (not default)
export { UserService }; // GOOD
export default UserService; // AVOID

// Use type-only imports for types
import type { User } from './user.types';
```

## ESLint Rules

### Critical Rules (Errors)

```javascript
{
  "@typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any": "error",
  "@typescript-eslint/explicit-function-return-type": "error",  // For public APIs
  "@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars": ["error", { "argsIgnorePattern": "^_" }],
  "no-console": ["error", { "allow": ["warn", "error"] }],
}
```

### Recommended Rules (Warnings)

```javascript
{
  "@typescript-eslint/no-floating-promises": "warn",
  "@typescript-eslint/await-thenable": "warn",
  "prefer-const": "warn",
}
```

## Comments

### When to Comment

```typescript
// GOOD - Explain WHY, not WHAT
// We use optimistic locking here because concurrent credit operations
// could otherwise result in race conditions and incorrect balances
const [updated] = await this.db
	.update(balances)
	.set({ amount: newAmount, version: sql`version + 1` })
	.where(and(eq(balances.userId, userId), eq(balances.version, currentVersion)))
	.returning();

// BAD - Explaining obvious code
// Loop through users
for (const user of users) {
}

// BAD - Outdated comment
// Returns the user's email  <-- but function now returns full user object
function getUser() {}
```

### JSDoc for Public APIs

```typescript
/**
 * Consumes credits from a user's balance.
 *
 * @param userId - The user's unique identifier
 * @param amount - Number of credits to consume
 * @param reason - Human-readable reason for the charge
 * @returns Result with the updated balance or an error
 *
 * @example
 * const result = await creditsService.consume(userId, 10, 'AI generation');
 * if (!result.ok) {
 *   logger.error('Credit consumption failed', result.error);
 * }
 */
async consume(userId: string, amount: number, reason: string): Promise<Result<Balance>> {
  // ...
}
```

## Code Organization

### File Size

- **Maximum**: ~300 lines per file
- **Ideal**: 100-200 lines
- Split large files into focused modules

### Function Size

- **Maximum**: ~50 lines per function
- **Ideal**: 10-25 lines
- Extract complex logic into helper functions

### Module Structure (NestJS)

```
feature/
├── feature.controller.ts     # HTTP layer
├── feature.service.ts        # Business logic
├── feature.module.ts         # DI configuration
├── feature.spec.ts           # Tests
└── dto/
    ├── create-feature.dto.ts
    └── update-feature.dto.ts
```

### Component Structure (Svelte/React)

```
components/
├── feature/
│   ├── FeatureList.svelte    # Container component
│   ├── FeatureItem.svelte    # Presentational component
│   └── feature.types.ts      # Shared types
└── ui/
    ├── Button.svelte         # Reusable UI
    └── Input.svelte
```

## Anti-Patterns to Avoid

### 1. Magic Numbers/Strings

```typescript
// BAD
if (user.role === 'admin') {
}
if (credits < 10) {
}

// GOOD
const ROLES = { ADMIN: 'admin', USER: 'user' } as const;
const MIN_CREDITS_FOR_OPERATION = 10;

if (user.role === ROLES.ADMIN) {
}
if (credits < MIN_CREDITS_FOR_OPERATION) {
}
```

### 2. Nested Callbacks

```typescript
// BAD
getUser(id, (user) => {
	getCredits(user.id, (credits) => {
		updateBalance(credits, (result) => {
			// ...
		});
	});
});

// GOOD
const user = await getUser(id);
const credits = await getCredits(user.id);
const result = await updateBalance(credits);
```

### 3. Mutating Parameters

```typescript
// BAD
function processUser(user: User): void {
	user.name = user.name.trim(); // Mutates input
}

// GOOD
function processUser(user: User): User {
	return { ...user, name: user.name.trim() }; // Returns new object
}
```

### 4. Boolean Trap

```typescript
// BAD - What does `true` mean?
createUser(email, password, true, false);

// GOOD - Use options object
createUser({
	email,
	password,
	sendWelcomeEmail: true,
	requireEmailVerification: false,
});
```

## Formatting Commands

```bash
# Format all files
pnpm format

# Check formatting without changes
pnpm format:check

# Format specific project
pnpm --filter @chat/backend format
```
