SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill guides frontend developers to define consistent TypeScript types that align with backend schemas and existing patterns in frontend/types/index.ts. It helps ensure type safety, maintainability, and predictable data contracts across the codebase.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pattern-based interfaces & types: follow the conventions in frontend/types/index.ts to model data structures.
  • API field mapping: learn to map backend snake_case names to frontend camelCase fields for better usability.
  • Use Case: create User and Task type definitions that mirror backend data while preserving frontend ergonomics.

Quick Start

Define a new type following the documented patterns in frontend/types/index.ts and add it to your frontend project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I define frontend TypeScript types that align with backend API contracts?

To define frontend TypeScript types aligned with backend schemas, model data structures following conventions in frontend/types/index.ts, mapping backend snake_case names to frontend camelCase fields for usability. This ensures type safety and predictable data contracts across your codebase.

What's the best way to map snake_case API response fields to camelCase in TypeScript?

Mapping snake_case API response fields to camelCase in TypeScript involves creating separate type definitions for API responses and frontend data. This preserves frontend ergonomics while keeping the data contract predictable and maintainable.

When should I use separate TypeScript types for API responses, forms, and query parameters?

You should use separate TypeScript types for API responses, forms, and query parameters when modeling frontend data shapes from backend contracts. This separation ensures consistent naming conventions and type safety across different data flows in your application.

Should I use interfaces or types when defining frontend TypeScript data shapes?

Choosing between interfaces or types when defining frontend TypeScript data shapes depends on the patterns documented in frontend/types/index.ts. Following these established conventions ensures consistency, maintainability, and alignment with existing codebase patterns.

How do I ensure my TypeScript frontend types stay consistent with backend schema changes?

To ensure TypeScript frontend types stay consistent with backend schemas, define types that mirror backend data while preserving frontend ergonomics. Follow naming conventions and interface patterns in frontend/types/index.ts to maintain alignment and type safety.
