Review Patterns

Security Analysis

// FINDING: SQL Injection vulnerability
// File: src/users/user.service.ts:42
// Severity: CRITICAL

// BAD - Direct string interpolation
const user = await db.query(`SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = '${userId}'`);

// GOOD - Parameterized query
const user = await db.query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = $1', [userId]);

Performance Analysis

// FINDING: N+1 Query detected
// File: src/posts/post.resolver.ts:28
// Severity: WARNING

// BAD - N+1 queries
@ResolveField()
async author(@Parent() post: Post) {
  return this.userService.findById(post.authorId); // Called N times
}

// GOOD - DataLoader pattern
@ResolveField()
async author(@Parent() post: Post) {
  return this.userLoader.load(post.authorId); // Batched
}

Quality Analysis

// FINDING: Function too complex
// File: src/utils/parser.ts:15
// Severity: WARNING
// Cyclomatic complexity: 15 (max: 10)

// SUGGESTION: Extract into smaller functions
function parseConfig(input: string): Config {
  // 50 lines of nested conditionals
}

// REFACTORED:
function parseConfig(input: string): Config {
  const sections = splitSections(input);
  const validated = validateSections(sections);
  return buildConfig(validated);
}

**Summary**: 2 errors, 3 warnings, 5 info

+++ 📋 Detailed Findings

**src/auth/jwt.ts**

🔴 Line 42: [SECURITY]
   JWT secret is hardcoded
   💡 Use environment variable

🟡 Line 58: [QUALITY]
   Function exceeds 50 lines
   💡 Extract token validation to separate function

Automatic Fix Suggestions

// Original (with issue)
const data = response.data;
if (data != null) {
  process(data);
}

// Suggested fix
const data = response.data;
if (data !== null && data !== undefined) {
  process(data);
}

// Or with optional chaining
const data = response?.data;
if (data) {
  process(data);
}

Examples

Example 1: PR Review

Review: PR #123 - Add user authentication

Summary:
- 🔴 2 security issues (hardcoded secret, missing auth check)
- 🟡 3 warnings (complexity, missing tests, deprecated API)
- 🔵 5 info (style, documentation)

Status: NEEDS WORK

Critical fixes required before merge:
1. Move JWT_SECRET to environment variable
2. Add authentication guard to /api/admin routes

Files reviewed: 8
Lines changed: +342, -28

Example 2: File Review

Review: src/services/payment.service.ts

Summary:
- 🔴 1 error (unhandled rejection)
- 🟡 2 warnings (missing retry logic, no timeout)
- 🔵 1 info (consider using decimal.js for currency)

Status: NEEDS ATTENTION

Key finding:
Line 87: Payment API call has no error handling
Suggestion: Wrap in try-catch with proper error logging
