| 48 | +## General Principles |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +### 1. Follow TypeScript Best Practices |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +Always use TypeScript for type safety: |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +```typescript |
| 55 | +// ✅ Good: Explicit types |
| 56 | +interface UserData { |
| 57 | + name: string; |
| 58 | + email: string; |
| 59 | + role: 'admin' | 'user'; |
| 60 | +} |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +const updateUser = async (userId: string, data: UserData): Promise<void> => { |
| 63 | + // Implementation |
| 64 | +}; |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +// ❌ Bad: Using 'any' |
| 67 | +const updateUser = async (userId: any, data: any): Promise<any> => { |
| 68 | + // Implementation |
| 69 | +}; |
| 70 | +``` |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +### 2. Handle Errors Gracefully |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +Always handle potential errors: |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +```typescript |
| 77 | +// ✅ Good: Proper error handling |
| 78 | +try { |
| 79 | + const result = await functionCall(); |
| 80 | + return result; |
| 81 | +} catch (error) { |
| 82 | + console.error('Operation failed:', error); |
| 83 | + throw new Error('User-friendly error message'); |
| 84 | +} |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +// ❌ Bad: No error handling |
| 87 | +const result = await functionCall(); |
| 88 | +return result; |
| 89 | +``` |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +### 3. Optimize Performance |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +Use React best practices for performance: |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +```typescript |
| 96 | +// ✅ Good: Memoization |
| 97 | +const ExpensiveComponent = React.memo(({ data }) => { |
| 98 | + const processedData = useMemo(() => { |
| 99 | + return expensiveCalculation(data); |
| 100 | + }, [data]); |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | + return <div>{processedData}</div>; |
| 103 | +}); |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +// ❌ Bad: No optimization |
| 106 | +const ExpensiveComponent = ({ data }) => { |
| 107 | + const processedData = expensiveCalculation(data); // Runs on every render |
| 108 | + return <div>{processedData}</div>; |
| 109 | +}; |
| 110 | +``` |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +### 4. Secure Your Application |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +Implement proper security measures: |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +```typescript |
| 117 | +// ✅ Good: Check permissions |
| 118 | +const deleteSubscription = functions.https.onCall(async (data, context) => { |
| 119 | + if (!context.auth) { |
| 120 | + throw new functions.https.HttpsError('unauthenticated', 'Must be logged in'); |
| 121 | + } |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | + const isOwner = await checkSubscriptionOwnership( |
| 124 | + context.auth.uid, |
| 125 | + data.subscriptionId |
| 126 | + ); |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | + if (!isOwner) { |
| 129 | + throw new functions.https.HttpsError('permission-denied', 'Not authorized'); |
| 130 | + } |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | + // Proceed with deletion |
| 133 | +}); |
| 134 | + |
| 135 | +// ❌ Bad: No permission checks |
| 136 | +const deleteSubscription = functions.https.onCall(async (data, context) => { |
| 137 | + await admin.firestore().collection('subscriptions').doc(data.subscriptionId).delete(); |
| 138 | +}); |
| 139 | +``` |
| 140 | + |
| 141 | +### 5. Write Maintainable Code |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +Keep code clean and maintainable: |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | +```typescript |
| 146 | +// ✅ Good: Small, focused functions with clear names |
| 147 | +const validateEmail = (email: string): boolean => { |
| 148 | + const emailRegex = /^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$/; |
| 149 | + return emailRegex.test(email); |
| 150 | +}; |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | +const sendWelcomeEmail = async (userEmail: string): Promise<void> => { |
| 153 | + if (!validateEmail(userEmail)) { |
| 154 | + throw new Error('Invalid email address'); |
| 155 | + } |
| 156 | + // Send email logic |
| 157 | +}; |
| 158 | + |
| 159 | +// ❌ Bad: Large function doing multiple things |
| 160 | +const processUser = async (data: any) => { |
| 161 | + // Validation |
| 162 | + if (!data.email || !/^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$/.test(data.email)) { |
| 163 | + throw new Error('Invalid email'); |
| 164 | + } |
| 165 | + // Database operation |
| 166 | + await db.collection('users').doc(data.id).set(data); |
| 167 | + // Send email |
| 168 | + await emailService.send(data.email, 'Welcome!'); |
| 169 | + // Log event |
| 170 | + console.log('User processed:', data.id); |
| 171 | +}; |
| 172 | +``` |
