SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Developers often struggle to maintain strict type safety and follow best‑practice patterns across TypeScript projects, leading to bugs and inconsistent code quality.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Strict tsconfig: Enforces compiler options for robust type checking.
  • ESLint & Prettier setup: Provides linting rules to catch common mistakes.
  • React patterns: Includes functional components, custom hooks, and context usage.
  • Next.js App Router: Shows server component and server action examples.
  • Node/Express type‑safe routes: Demonstrates validation with Zod.
  • State management: Offers a typed Zustand store implementation.
  • tRPC & Zod schemas: Supplies typed API contracts and validation.
  • Testing with Vitest: Illustrates unit testing for services.
  • Anti‑patterns: Highlights common pitfalls to avoid.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to provide a type‑safe Express route example using Zod.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up strict type safety in a TypeScript React project?

To set up strict type safety in a TypeScript React project, apply strict tsconfig compiler options, configure ESLint and Prettier rules, and use functional components with typed custom hooks and context.

What is the best way to validate Express routes using Zod and TypeScript?

The best way to validate Express routes is by defining Zod validation schemas for incoming requests and applying them as middleware to ensure type-safe data handling in your Node.js services.

How do I create typed API contracts with tRPC and Zod?

Creating typed API contracts with tRPC involves defining Zod schemas for input validation and linking them to tRPC procedures to ensure end-to-end type safety across your client and server.

Can I use this TypeScript patterns setup for Next.js App Router server components?

Yes, this setup applies to the Next.js App Router by providing type-safe examples for server components and server actions, ensuring robust type checking and validation in your Next.js applications.

How do I implement a typed Zustand store for state management?

To implement a typed Zustand store, define your state interface and actions in TypeScript, then create the store using the provided type-safe patterns to ensure consistent state management across your application.

What common TypeScript anti-patterns should I avoid in my codebase?

Common TypeScript anti-patterns to avoid include bypassing strict compiler checks, using untyped hooks, and skipping validation schemas, which lead to runtime bugs and inconsistent code quality.
