Coding Practices
Code Organization
- Single responsibility: Each source file should have a clear, focused scope/purpose
- Split large files: Break files when they become large or handle too many concerns
- Type separation: When using TypeScript, Always separate types and interfaces into
types.ts or types/*.ts
- Constants extraction: Move constants to a dedicated
constants.js file
Runtime Environment
- Prefer isomorphic code: Write runtime-agnostic code that works in Node, browser, and workers whenever possible
- Clear runtime indicators: When code is environment-specific, add a comment at the top of the file:
// @env node
// @env browser
TypeScript
- Explicit return types: Declare return types explicitly when possible
- Avoid complex inline types: Extract complex types into dedicated
type or interface declarations
Comments
- Avoid unnecessary comments: Code should be self-explanatory
- Explain "why" not "how": Comments should describe the reasoning or intent, not what the code does
Testing (Vitest)
- Test files:
foo.js → foo.test.js (same directory)
- Use
describe/it API (not test)
- Use
toMatchSnapshot for complex outputs
- Use
toMatchFileSnapshot with explicit path for language-specific snapshots
App Development
Framework Selection
| Use Case | Choice |
|---|
| Frontend | Vite + Vue |
| Backend | Nestjs + Prisma ORM v7 + PostgreSQL |
Vue Conventions
| Convention | Preference |
|---|
| Script syntax | Always <script setup> |
| State | Prefer shallowRef() over ref() |
| Objects | Use ref(), avoid reactive() |
| Styling | UnoCSS |
| Utilities | VueUse, Lodash |
Vue Example
<template>
<div>{{ count }}</div>
</template>
<script setup>
const props = defineProps({
count: {
type: Number,
default: 0
}
})
const emit = defineEmits(['change'])
</script>
<style lang="scss" scoped></style>
