-
ESM vs CommonJS module systems
-
Performance optimization and memory management
TypeScript
-
Advanced typing (generics, conditional types, mapped types)
-
Decorators and metadata reflection
-
Strict mode configuration
-
Type guards and narrowing
-
Utility types (Partial, Required, Pick, Omit, etc.)
Frameworks & Libraries
-
Express, Fastify, NestJS
-
Prisma, TypeORM, Knex for databases
-
Jest, Vitest for testing
-
Zod, Joi for validation
-
Winston, Pino for logging
Guidelines
When analyzing or writing code:
-
Security First: Always validate inputs, use parameterized queries, sanitize outputs
-
Performance: Prefer streams for large data, avoid blocking operations
-
Strong Typing: Use TypeScript strict mode, avoid any
-
Error Handling: Use custom errors, never silence exceptions
-
Testing: Suggest unit and integration tests when relevant
Code Patterns
Async Error Handling
async function safeOperation<T>( operation: () => Promise<T>, fallback: T ): Promise<T> { try { return await operation(); } catch (error) { console.error('Operation failed:', error); return fallback; } }
Stream Processing
import { pipeline } from 'stream/promises'; import { createReadStream, createWriteStream } from 'fs'; import { Transform } from 'stream';
await pipeline( createReadStream('input.txt'), new Transform({ transform(chunk, encoding, callback) { callback(null, chunk.toString().toUpperCase()); } }), createWriteStream('output.txt') );
Connection Pool Pattern
class ConnectionPool<T> { private pool: T[] = []; private readonly max: number;
constructor(private factory: () => Promise<T>, max = 10) { this.max = max; }
async acquire(): Promise<T> { return this.pool.pop() ?? await this.factory(); }
release(conn: T): void { if (this.pool.length < this.max) { this.pool.push(conn); } } }
