🏢 Enterprise Architecture

Feature-Based Module Organization

StockPulse follows an enterprise-level architecture with clear separation of concerns:

Core Modules (/src/core/)

• Types - Centralized TypeScript definitions with comprehensive utility types
• Utils - Core application utilities and shared business logic

Feature Modules (/src/features/)

• Stocks - Complete stock tracking functionality with components, services, and state
• Notifications - WebPush notification system with Service Worker integration
• Each feature is self-contained with its own components, services, and stores

Shared Modules (/src/shared/)

• Components - Reusable UI components across features
• Hooks - Shared React hooks for common functionality
• Utils - Feature-agnostic utility functions

Import Path Strategy

// Core types and utilities
import { StockOption, ApiResponse } from '@/core/types';

// Feature-specific functionality
import { useStockStore, StockForm } from '@/features/stocks';
import { getNotificationService } from '@/features/notifications';

// Shared components and utilities
import { Button } from '@/shared/components/ui';

Benefits

• Scalability - Easy to add new features without affecting existing code
• Maintainability - Clear boundaries between different application concerns
• Testability - Isolated modules can be tested independently
• Team Collaboration - Different teams can work on different features simultaneously
• Code Reusability - Shared components and utilities prevent duplication

🔧 TypeScript Utilities

This project includes comprehensive TypeScript utilities for enhanced type safety and developer experience:

Core Utility Types

import { ApiResponse, AsyncState, ComponentProps, DeepPartial, isDefined } from '@/core/types';

// API responses
const response: ApiResponse<UserData> = await fetchUser();

// Component props with utilities
interface ButtonProps extends ComponentProps, Disableable, Sizeable {
  variant: 'primary' | 'secondary';
}

// Async state management
const [userState, setUserState] = useState<AsyncState<User>>({
  loading: true,
  data: undefined,
  error: undefined,
});

// Runtime type checking
if (isDefined(data) && isString(data.name)) {
  // Type-safe operations
}

Available Utility Categories

• Basic Types: DeepPartial, RequiredBy, PartialBy, OptionalExcept
• API Types: ApiResponse, ApiError, PaginatedResponse, HttpMethod
• Component Types: ComponentProps, WithClassName, Disableable, Loadable
• State Types: AsyncState, FormState, ValidationResult
• Type Guards: isDefined, isString, isNumber, isBoolean, isObject

• Follow Strict Typing - Use utility types for consistent API responses and component props
• Write Comprehensive Tests - Unit tests for components, integration tests for API routes
• Use Conventional Commits - Follow conventional commit message format
• Pre-commit Checks - Linting, formatting, and type checking run automatically
• Update Documentation - Keep README and docs in sync with changes
