Review Code

Code Review for Saman SEO

Review the specified code or recent changes for quality, security, and standards compliance.

Review Checklist

1. WordPress Coding Standards (WPCS)

Check PHP code for:

• Proper indentation (tabs, not spaces)
• Yoda conditions (if ( 'value' === $var ))
• Space inside parentheses (function( $param ))
• Proper docblocks for functions and classes
• No trailing whitespace
• File header comments with @package

2. Security Review

Check for vulnerabilities:

• Input Sanitization: All $_GET, $_POST, $_REQUEST sanitized
  • sanitize_text_field(), absint(), sanitize_email(), etc.
  • wp_unslash() before sanitization
• Output Escaping: All output escaped
  • esc_html(), esc_attr(), esc_url(), wp_kses_post()
• Nonce Verification: Forms and AJAX have nonce checks
  • wp_verify_nonce() or check_ajax_referer()
• Capability Checks: current_user_can() for privileged operations
• SQL Safety: Use $wpdb->prepare() for queries
• File Operations: No direct file inclusion from user input

3. Saman SEO Patterns

Check adherence to project patterns:

• Namespace: Uses Saman\SEO namespace hierarchy
• Service Pattern: New features use service classes with boot() method
• Filter Hooks: Extensibility points use SAMAN_SEO_ prefix
• Options: Use SAMAN_SEO_ prefix for options
• Meta Keys: Use _SAMAN_SEO_ prefix for post meta
• Text Domain: All strings use 'saman-seo' text domain
• Helper Usage: Uses \Saman\SEO\Helpers\ functions where appropriate

4. JavaScript/React Standards

For src-v2/ files:

• Uses @wordpress/element for React
• Uses @wordpress/i18n for translations (__(), _n())
• Uses @wordpress/api-fetch for API calls
• Proper component structure with hooks
• No console.log in production code
• Error handling for async operations

5. Performance

• No unnecessary database queries in loops
• Proper use of transients/caching for expensive operations
• Lazy loading where appropriate
• No blocking operations on frontend

6. Documentation

• Functions have proper PHPDoc
• Complex logic has inline comments
• New filters documented in FILTERS.md
• New CLI commands documented in WP_CLI.md
• Public functions documented in TEMPLATE_TAGS.md

Review Process

1. Read the changes - Understand what was modified
2. Check each file against the checklist above
3. Test mentally - Consider edge cases
4. Security scan - Look for common vulnerabilities
5. Summarize findings with specific line references

Common Issues to Flag

Security Issues (Critical)

// BAD: Unsanitized input
$title = $_POST['title'];

// GOOD: Sanitized input
$title = isset( $_POST['title'] ) ? sanitize_text_field( wp_unslash( $_POST['title'] ) ) : '';

Escaping Issues

// BAD: Unescaped output
echo $user_data;

// GOOD: Escaped output
echo esc_html( $user_data );

SQL Injection Risk

// BAD: Direct variable in query
$wpdb->query( "SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = $id" );

// GOOD: Prepared statement
$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = %d", $id ) );

Missing Capability Check

// BAD: No permission check
function delete_item( $id ) {
    // Delete directly
}

// GOOD: With permission check
function delete_item( $id ) {
    if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
        return new WP_Error( 'forbidden', 'Access denied' );
    }
    // Delete
}
