Naming Conventions -### Use Clear and Descriptive Names +### Use Descriptive Names + +- Choose clear, descriptive names for variables, functions, and classes. +- Avoid abbreviations unless they are widely understood. -- Choose meaningful names for variables, functions, and classes that accurately describe their purpose or functionality. -- Avoid abbreviations or cryptic names that may confuse other developers. +### Follow Language-Specific Conventions -### Ensure Consistency in Component Naming +- Use camelCase for variables and functions in JavaScript. +- Use PascalCase for class names in most object-oriented languages. +- Use snake_case for variables and functions in Python. -- Use correct and consistent import names for components across the project. -- Example: Use 'SignIn' instead of 'UserButton' for a sign-in component. +### Consistency is Key + +- Maintain consistent naming patterns throughout the project. +- Use singular nouns for objects and plural nouns for collections. ## Code Structure -### Maintain Consistent Formatting +### Keep Functions Small and Focused + +- Aim for functions that do one thing well. +- Limit function length to improve readability and maintainability. -- Use consistent indentation and formatting throughout the codebase. -- Follow established coding style guidelines for the programming language being used. +### Use Meaningful Indentation -### Organize Imports and Components +- Consistently use either spaces or tabs for indentation. +- Maintain proper indentation to clearly show code structure. -- Use appropriate imports from the correct packages (e.g., '@stackframe/stack'). -- Organize components into separate files or modules for better code organization and maintainability. +### Organize Related Code + +- Group related functions and classes together. +- Use modules or namespaces to organize larger codebases. ## Documentation ### Write Clear Comments -- Provide clear and concise comments for complex code sections and functions. -- Explain the purpose and functionality of the code, not just restate what the code does. +- Use comments to explain complex logic or non-obvious code. +- Avoid commenting on self-explanatory code. -### Maintain Accurate Headers +### Maintain Up-to-Date Documentation -- Ensure header names and content in documentation are accurate and consistent. -- Use appropriate heading levels to create a clear hierarchy of information. +- Keep README files, API documentation, and inline comments current. +- Document any changes to public interfaces or important internal logic. -### Create Meaningful Pull Request Descriptions +### Use JSDoc or Similar Tools -- Write PR titles and bodies that directly address the documentation changes being made. -- Clearly explain the purpose and impact of the changes. +- Utilize documentation generators for consistent API documentation. +- Include parameter types, return values, and brief descriptions. -### Link to Relevant Discussions +## Error Handling -- Include links to relevant discussions in Discord or other communication channels. -- Indicate where review and agreement on changes have taken place. +### Use Specific Exception Types -### Ensure Accurate Code Snippets +- Create or use specific exception types for different error scenarios. +- Avoid using generic exceptions when more specific ones are available. -- Maintain up-to-date and accurate code snippets in documentation. -- Test code snippets to ensure they work as intended. +### Provide Meaningful Error Messages -### Include Visual Representations +- Include clear, actionable information in error messages. +- Consider including error codes for easier troubleshooting. -- Add visual representations (images) alongside code examples when appropriate. -- Use proper image references in Markdown format. -- Example: `![Sign-in Component](../imgs/sign-in.png)` +### Implement Proper Error Logging -## Error Handling +- Log errors with appropriate severity levels. +- Include relevant context information in error logs. -### Implement Proper Error Handling +## Performance -- Implement appropriate error handling and logging mechanisms throughout the codebase. -- Catch and handle exceptions gracefully to prevent application crashes. -- Log errors with sufficient detail to aid in debugging and troubleshooting. +### Optimize Critical Paths -## Performance +- Identify and optimize performance-critical sections of code. +- Use profiling tools to identify bottlenecks. + +### Consider Resource Usage -### Optimize Critical Code Sections +- Be mindful of memory usage, especially for large datasets. +- Implement pagination or lazy loading for large collections. -- Identify and optimize critical sections of code for better performance. -- Use profiling tools to identify bottlenecks and areas for improvement. -- Consider factors such as time complexity, memory usage, and resource utilization. +### Use Appropriate Data Structures + +- Choose the right data structure for the task to optimize performance. +- Consider time and space complexity when selecting algorithms. ## Security -### Follow Secure Coding Practices +### Validate User Input + +- Sanitize and validate all user inputs to prevent injection attacks. +- Use parameterized queries for database operations. + +### Implement Proper Authentication and Authorization + +- Use secure, industry-standard authentication methods. +- Implement role-based access control for sensitive operations. + +### Keep Dependencies Updated -- Adhere to best practices for secure coding to prevent common vulnerabilities. -- Implement proper input validation and sanitization. -- Use secure authentication and authorization mechanisms. -- Keep sensitive information, such as API keys and passwords, out of the codebase. -- Regularly update dependencies to address known security vulnerabilities. \ No newline at end of file +- Regularly update third-party libraries to patch security vulnerabilities. +- Use automated tools to check for known vulnerabilities in dependencies. \ No newline at end of file
