Development Workflow

This document outlines the development processes and workflows for CepatEdge.

Branching Strategy

Main Branches

  • main: Production-ready code, protected branch
  • develop: Integration branch for features

Feature Branches

  • Naming: feature/description-kebab-case
  • Source: Branch from develop
  • Merge: Create PR to develop

Release Branches

  • Naming: release/v1.2.3
  • Source: Branch from develop when ready for release
  • Merge: Merge to main and tag release

Hotfix Branches

  • Naming: hotfix/critical-bug-fix
  • Source: Branch from main
  • Merge: Merge to both main and develop

Development Process

1. Task Planning

bash
# Create feature branch
git checkout develop
git pull origin develop
git checkout -b feature/new-maintenance-endpoint

# Plan implementation
# - Review requirements
# - Design API endpoints
# - Plan database changes
# - Consider testing approach

2. Implementation

typescript
// Follow established patterns
// - Service layer separation
// - Type-safe implementations
// - Comprehensive error handling
// - OpenAPI documentation

3. Testing

bash
# Unit tests
pnpm test:unit

# Integration tests
pnpm test:integration

# API testing with Yaak/Postman
# - Test all endpoints
# - Verify error responses
# - Check authentication flows

4. Code Review

  • Create pull request with description
  • Include testing instructions
  • Reference related issues
  • Request review from team members

5. Merge and Deploy

bash
# After approval, merge to develop
git checkout develop
git merge feature/new-maintenance-endpoint

# Deploy to staging for testing
pnpm deploy:staging

Code Standards

TypeScript Guidelines

  • Strict mode: Enabled for all files
  • Type safety: No any types without justification
  • Interface definitions: Prefer interfaces over types
  • Generic constraints: Use generics for reusable components

API Design

  • RESTful conventions: Standard HTTP methods
  • Consistent responses: Success/error format standardization
  • OpenAPI documentation: All endpoints documented
  • Versioning: URL-based API versioning

Service Architecture

  • Separation of concerns: Clear service boundaries
  • Dependency injection: Service factory pattern
  • Error handling: Consistent error propagation
  • Caching strategy: Appropriate cache usage

Testing Strategy

Unit Testing

  • Coverage: Minimum 80% coverage
  • Framework: Vitest with React Testing Library
  • Mocking: External dependencies and APIs
  • Isolation: Tests run independently

Integration Testing

  • API endpoints: Full request/response cycles
  • Database operations: Real database interactions
  • Authentication flows: Complete user journeys
  • Workflow testing: End-to-end maintenance flows

Performance Testing

  • Load testing: 1000+ concurrent users
  • Response times: <100ms target
  • Memory usage: Monitor for leaks
  • Cache efficiency: Hit rate monitoring

Documentation Requirements

Code Documentation

  • Functions: JSDoc for public APIs
  • Complex logic: Inline comments explaining decisions
  • Type definitions: Self-documenting type names

API Documentation

  • OpenAPI specs: Automatically generated
  • Examples: Request/response examples
  • Error codes: Comprehensive error documentation

Architectural Documentation

  • ADRs: Major decisions documented
  • System diagrams: Updated with changes
  • Migration guides: Database and API changes

Quality Gates

Pre-commit Hooks

  • Linting: ESLint configuration
