## TypeScript Backend Patterns
### Branded Types for Domain Primitives
```typescript
// Prevent primitive obsession with branded types
type Brand<K, T> = K & { __brand: T }
type UserId = Brand<string, 'UserId'>
type TenantId = Brand<string, 'TenantId'>
type Email = Brand<string, 'Email'>
// Factory functions with validation
const createUserId = (value: string): UserId => {
if (!value.match(/^[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-4[0-9a-f]{3}-[89ab][0-9a-f]{3}-[0-9a-f]{12}$/i)) {
throw new Error('Invalid UserId format')
}
return value as UserId
}
// Type-safe function signatures
const getUser = (userId: UserId): Promise<User> => {
// Cannot accidentally pass wrong ID type
}
```
### Repository Pattern with Generics
```typescript
interface Repository<T, ID> {
findById(id: ID): Promise<T | null>
findAll(): Promise<T[]>
save(entity: T): Promise<T>
delete(id: ID): Promise<void>
}
class PostgresRepository<T, ID> implements Repository<T, ID> {
constructor(
private readonly prisma: PrismaClient,
private readonly model: string
) {}
async findById(id: ID): Promise<T | null> {
return this.prisma[this.model].findUnique({ where: { id } })
}
}
// Usage with branded types
class UserRepository extends PostgresRepository<User, UserId> {
constructor(prisma: PrismaClient) {
super(prisma, 'user')
}
findByEmail(email: Email): Promise<User | null> {
return this.prisma.user.findUnique({ where: { email } })
}
}
```
### Dependency Injection with InversifyJS or TSyringe
```typescript
import { injectable, inject } from 'tsyringe'
@injectable()
class UserService {
constructor(
@inject('UserRepository') private readonly userRepo: UserRepository,
@inject('Logger') private readonly logger: Logger
) {}
async createUser(data: CreateUserDto): Promise<User> {
this.logger.info('Creating user', { email: data.email })
return this.userRepo.save(data)
}
}
// Container setup
container.register('UserRepository', { useClass: UserRepository })
container.register('Logger', { useValue: logger })
container.register('UserService', { useClass: UserService })
```
### Type-Safe Event Emitters
```typescript
import { EventEmitter } from 'events'
type Events = {
'user:created': [user: User, metadata: { source: string }]
'user:updated': [userId: UserId, changes: Partial<User>]
'user:deleted': [userId: UserId]
}
class TypedEventEmitter extends EventEmitter {
emit<K extends keyof Events>(event: K, ...args: Events[K]): boolean {
return super.emit(event, ...args)
}
on<K extends keyof Events>(event: K, listener: (...args: Events[K]) => void): this {
return super.on(event, listener)
}
}
// Usage
const events = new TypedEventEmitter()
events.on('user:created', (user, metadata) => {
// user and metadata are fully typed
})
```
### Zod Schema Composition
```typescript
import { z } from 'zod'
// Reusable primitives
const EmailSchema = z.string().email().brand<'Email'>()
const UUIDSchema = z.string().uuid().brand<'UUID'>()
// Domain schemas
const CreateUserSchema = z.object({
email: EmailSchema,
name: z.string().min(1).max(100),
tenantId: UUIDSchema,
role: z.enum(['admin', 'user', 'viewer'])
})
// Infer TypeScript types from schemas
type CreateUserDto = z.infer<typeof CreateUserSchema>
// Runtime validation with type narrowing
const validateAndCreate = (input: unknown): CreateUserDto => {
return CreateUserSchema.parse(input) // Throws if invalid
}
// Composable schemas
const UpdateUserSchema = CreateUserSchema.partial().extend({
userId: UUIDSchema
})
```
### AsyncLocalStorage for Request Context
```typescript
import { AsyncLocalStorage } from 'async_hooks'
interface RequestContext {
requestId: string
tenantId: TenantId
userId?: UserId
startTime: number
}
const requestContext = new AsyncLocalStorage<RequestContext>()
// Middleware to set context
const contextMiddleware = (req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) => {
const context: RequestContext = {
requestId: req.headers['x-request-id'] as string,
tenantId: req.headers['x-tenant-id'] as TenantId,
userId: req.user?.id,
startTime: Date.now()
}
requestContext.run(context, () => next())
}
// Access context anywhere in the request lifecycle
class Logger {
info(message: string, data?: object) {
const ctx = requestContext.getStore()
console.log(JSON.stringify({
level: 'info',
message,
requestId: ctx?.requestId,
tenantId: ctx?.tenantId,
...data
}))
}
}
```
### Result Type for Error Handling
```typescript
type Success<T> = { ok: true; value: T }
type Failure<E> = { ok: false; error: E }
type Result<T, E = Error> = Success<T> | Failure<E>
const ok = <T>(value: T): Success<T> => ({ ok: true, value })
const fail = <E>(error: E): Failure<E> => ({ ok: false, error })
// Usage in service methods
class UserService {
async createUser(data: CreateUserDto): Promise<Result<User, ValidationError>> {
const validation = validateUser(data)
if (!validation.valid) {
return fail(new ValidationError(validation.errors))
}
try {
const user = await this.userRepo.save(data)
return ok(user)
} catch (error) {
return fail(new DatabaseError(error))
}
}
}
// Pattern matching
const result = await userService.createUser(data)
if (result.ok) {
console.log('User created:', result.value.id)
} else {
console.error('Failed:', result.error.message)
}
```
## Handling Ambiguous Requirements
When requirements lack critical context, follow this protocol:
### 1. Identify Ambiguity
Common ambiguous scenarios:
- **Runtime choice**: Node.js vs Deno vs Bun (affects dependencies and APIs)
- **Framework selection**: Express vs Fastify vs NestJS vs Hono (different patterns)
- **ORM choice**: Prisma vs Drizzle vs TypeORM (different type safety levels)
- **Validation library**: Zod vs Yup vs class-validator (affects schema design)
- **Architecture pattern**: Clean Architecture vs layered vs functional
- **Authentication provider**: Auth0 vs Clerk vs Supabase vs WorkOS vs custom
- **Multi-tenancy approach**: Schema-based vs row-level vs database-per-tenant
- **Minimal context**: Request like "implement a user API" without requirements
### 2. Ask Clarifying Questions
When ambiguity exists, present options with trade-offs:
```markdown
I can implement this in several ways. Please clarify:
**Option A: [Approach Name]**
- Pros: [Benefits]
- Cons: [Drawbacks]
- Best for: [Use case]
- Type Safety: [Level of compile-time guarantees]
**Option B: [Approach Name]**
- Pros: [Benefits]
- Cons: [Drawbacks]
- Best for: [Use case]
- Type Safety: [Level of compile-time guarantees]
Which approach best fits your needs? Or provide more context about:
- [Critical decision factor 1]
- [Critical decision factor 2]
```
### 3. When to Choose vs Ask
**Ask questions when:**
- Multiple fundamentally different approaches exist
- Choice significantly impacts type safety or architecture
- User context is minimal ("implement a user service")
- Trade-offs involve runtime vs framework selection
- Authentication provider selection needed
**Make a justified choice when:**
- One approach provides clearly superior type safety
- Requirements strongly imply a specific solution (e.g., "end-to-end type safety" implies tRPC)
- Industry best practice exists (Prisma for PostgreSQL, Zod for validation)
- Time-sensitive and safe default exists
**If choosing without asking:**
1. State your assumption explicitly
2. Explain why this choice maximizes type safety
3. Note what could change the decision
### Example: Minimal Context
```markdown
Request: "Implement a user API"
Response:
"I need clarification to design the user API properly:
**What runtime and framework?**
- Node.js with Express (most common)?
- Fastify (better performance)?
- Hono (edge-first, multi-runtime)?
- NestJS (enterprise patterns with DI)?
**What database and ORM?**
- PostgreSQL with Prisma (best type safety)?
- PostgreSQL with Drizzle (SQL-like queries)?
- MongoDB with Mongoose?
**Type safety requirements?**
- End-to-end type safety (use tRPC)?
- Standard REST API with OpenAPI?
- GraphQL with TypeGraphQL/Pothos?
**Authentication needs?**
- JWT-based auth?
- OAuth2 integration?
- Third-party provider (Auth0, Clerk, WorkOS)?
Please specify, or I can implement a standard REST API with:
- Node.js + Fastify (performance + good TypeScript support)
- PostgreSQL + Prisma (excellent type safety)
- Zod validation (runtime + compile-time safety)
- JWT authentication
- UUID-based IDs with branded types
```
### Example: Runtime Selection
```markdown
Request: "Build an API for user management"
Response:
"To choose the right runtime and stack, I need to understand:
**Runtime Environment:**
- **Node.js**: Largest ecosystem, best library support, mature
- **Deno**: Built-in TypeScript, secure by default, modern APIs
- **Bun**: Fastest performance, Node.js compatible, still maturing
**Deployment Target:**
- Traditional servers/containers (any runtime works)
- Edge computing (prefer Hono + Deno/Bun)
- Serverless (Node.js has best Lambda support)
- Vercel/Cloudflare Workers (Deno/Bun better)
What's your deployment environment? Or I'll default to:
- Node.js 20+ with Fastify (proven, reliable, excellent TypeScript)
- Prisma + PostgreSQL (type-safe database layer)
- Zod for validation (compile-time + runtime safety)
```
## Security Best Practices
### Input Validation with Zod
```typescript
// ALWAYS validate at API boundaries
const CreateUserSchema = z.object({
email: z.string().email().max(255),
password: z.string().min(12).max(128),
name: z.string().min(1).max(100).regex(/^[a-zA-Z\s]+$/),
});
// Validate and sanitize
const validated = CreateUserSchema.parse(req.body);
```
### SQL Injection Prevention
```typescript
// BAD - SQL injection vulnerability
const query = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${userId}`;
// GOOD - Prisma (automatically parameterized)
const user = await prisma.user.findUnique({ where: { id: userId } });
// GOOD - Raw query with parameters (when needed)
const users = await prisma.$queryRaw`SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${userId}`;
// GOOD - Knex/TypeORM with parameters
await db.query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = $1', [userId]);
```
### Password Hashing
```typescript
import argon2 from 'argon2';
import bcrypt from 'bcrypt';
// PREFERRED - Argon2id
const hash = await argon2.hash(password, {
type: argon2.argon2id,
memoryCost: 65536, // 64 MB
timeCost: 3,
parallelism: 4,
});
const isValid = await argon2.verify(hash, password);
// ALTERNATIVE - bcrypt (cost 12+)
const SALT_ROUNDS = 12;
const hash = await bcrypt.hash(password, SALT_ROUNDS);
const isValid = await bcrypt.compare(password, hash);
// NEVER - Weak hashing
// const hash = crypto.createHash('sha256').update(password).digest('hex');
```
### JWT Security
```typescript
import jwt from 'jsonwebtoken';
// ALWAYS specify algorithm and validate claims
const token = jwt.sign(payload, secret, {
algorithm: 'HS256',
expiresIn: '15m',
issuer: 'myapp',
audience: 'myapi',
});
// ALWAYS verify with options
const decoded = jwt.verify(token, secret, {
algorithms: ['HS256'], // Reject 'none' and others
issuer: 'myapp',
audience: 'myapi',
});
```
### Secrets Management
```typescript
// NEVER hardcode
// const JWT_SECRET = 'my-secret-key'; // BAD
// Use environment variables
const JWT_SECRET = process.env.JWT_SECRET;
if (!JWT_SECRET) throw new Error('JWT_SECRET is required');
// Validate all required secrets at startup
const configSchema = z.object({
JWT_SECRET: z.string().min(32),
DATABASE_URL: z.string().url(),
API_KEY: z.string().min(20),
});
const config = configSchema.parse(process.env);
```
### Secure Logging
```typescript
// NEVER log sensitive data
logger.info('User login', {
email: user.email,
password: '[REDACTED]', // Never log passwords
token: token.substring(0, 8) + '...', // Truncate tokens
});
// Sanitize errors for clients
class AppError extends Error {
constructor(
public message: string, // User-safe message
public code: string,
public details?: unknown, // Internal only
) {
super(message);
}
}
// Return generic error to client
res.status(500).json({ error: 'Internal server error', code: 'INTERNAL_ERROR' });
// Log full error internally
logger.error('Database error', { error: err.stack, userId, correlationId });
```
### Rate Limiting
```typescript
import rateLimit from 'express-rate-limit';
// Auth endpoints - strict limits
const authLimiter = rateLimit({
windowMs: 60 * 1000, // 1 minute
max: 5, // 5 attempts
message: 'Too many login attempts',
});
app.use('/auth/login', authLimiter);
// General API - reasonable limits
const apiLimiter = rateLimit({
windowMs: 60 * 1000,
max: 100,
});
app.use('/api', apiLimiter);
```
### Dependency Security
```bash
# Regular audits
npm audit
npm audit fix
# Use lockfiles
npm ci # In CI/CD, not npm install
# Enable Dependabot or Snyk
```
