FaasJS Best Practices

Default Workflow

1. Identify the task area and load the narrowest FaasJS skill that owns it.
2. Read local repo instructions and relevant tsconfig.json files before choosing imports or paths.
3. Keep changes minimal and task-scoped; avoid unrelated refactors, speculative fallbacks, and new aliases unless configuration changes with them.
4. Validate external input at boundaries, check auth/tenant/permission scope before data access, and never log secrets.
5. Before handoff, run vp check --fix && vp test when feasible; if not feasible, record why and run the smallest useful validation.

Load These References

• New project, feature layout, config, CLI, comments, naming, or shared testing: use faasjs-project-workflow.
• React UI, @faasjs/ant-design, useFaas, forms, tables, drawers, CRUD screens, or React tests: use faasjs-react-ant-design.
• .api.ts, defineApi, HTTP plugin helpers, middleware, .job.ts, or defineJob: use faasjs-api-jobs.
• @faasjs/pg, QueryBuilder, table declarations, migrations, or PostgreSQL tests: use faasjs-pg.
• Plugin lifecycle, injected fields, logger usage, Node bootstrapping, or runtime config loading: use faasjs-plugins-runtime.
• @faasjs/utils, JSON, YAML, stream helpers, or validation helpers: use faasjs-utils-data.
• Normative runtime behavior for faas.yaml, routing, HTTP protocol, or plugin contracts: use faasjs-specs.

Gotchas

• Zod is for external input contracts; keep internal typeof, instanceof, and null checks as control-flow predicates.
• Keep local TypeScript imports extensionless and prefer configured aliases over deep relative imports.
• Destructure React hook returns and only the top-level defineApi/defineJob handler context; keep business values visible as params.key.
• Return values directly unless an intermediate variable documents a non-trivial condition, is reused, or improves readability.

Validation

• Use vp check --fix for formatting and linting.
• Use vp test or vp test <pattern> for tests.
• Run npx faas types after changing .api.ts files.
• Run npx faasjs-pg migrate or targeted PG checks only when database changes require them and DATABASE_URL is available.
