Code Generation Patterns

Architectural Patterns

Clean Architecture Structure

// Domain Layer
interface UserRepository {
  findById(id: string): Promise<User | null>;
  save(user: User): Promise<void>;
}

// Application Layer
const createGetUserUseCase = (userRepo: UserRepository) => {
  return async (id: string): Promise<UserDTO> => {
    const user = await userRepo.findById(id);
    if (!user) throw new UserNotFoundError(id);
    return UserMapper.toDTO(user);
  };
};

// Infrastructure Layer
const createPostgresUserRepository = (db: Database): UserRepository => ({
  async findById(id: string): Promise<User | null> {
    const result = await db.query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = $1', [id]);
    return result.rows[0] ? UserMapper.toDomain(result.rows[0]) : null;
  },
  async save(user: User): Promise<void> {
    await db.query('INSERT INTO users (id, email, name) VALUES ($1, $2, $3)', [
      user.id,
      user.email,
      user.name,
    ]);
  },
});

Dependency Injection Pattern

// Container setup
const createDIContainer = () => {
  const services = new Map<string, any>();

  const register = <T>(token: string, factory: () => T): void => {
    services.set(token, factory);
  };

  const resolve = <T>(token: string): T => {
    const factory = services.get(token);
    if (!factory) throw new ServiceNotFoundError(token);
    return factory();
  };

  return { register, resolve };
};

// Usage
const container = createDIContainer();
container.register('UserService', () =>
  createUserService(container.resolve('UserRepository'), container.resolve('EmailService'))
);

Language-Specific Patterns

TypeScript/JavaScript

// Modern async patterns
const createDataService = () => {
  const cache = new Map<string, CacheEntry>();

  const fetchWithCache = async <T>(
    key: string,
    fetcher: () => Promise<T>,
    ttl: number = 60000
  ): Promise<T> => {
    const cached = cache.get(key);
    if (cached && Date.now() - cached.timestamp < ttl) {
      return cached.data as T;
    }

    const data = await fetcher();
    cache.set(key, { data, timestamp: Date.now() });
    return data;
  };

  return { fetchWithCache };
};

// Builder pattern for complex objects
const createQueryBuilder = () => {
  const conditions: string[] = [];
  const parameters: any[] = [];

  const where = (field: string, operator: string, value: any) => {
    conditions.push(`${field} ${operator} $${parameters.length + 1}`);
    parameters.push(value);
    return { where, build };
  };

  const build = (): { sql: string; params: any[] } => {
    const sql = conditions.length ? `WHERE ${conditions.join(' AND ')}` : '';
    return { sql, params: parameters };
  };

  return { where, build };
};

Python

# Type hints and dataclasses
from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import Optional, List, Protocol
from datetime import datetime

@dataclass
class User:
    id: str
    email: str
    created_at: datetime
    roles: List[str] = field(default_factory=list)

    def has_role(self, role: str) -> bool:
        return role in self.roles

# Protocol for dependency injection

    async def get(self, key: str) -> Optional[str]:
        ...

    async def set(self, key: str, value: str, ttl: int) -> None:

# Context managers for resource handling
from contextlib import asynccontextmanager

@asynccontextmanager
async def database_connection(dsn: str):
    conn = await asyncpg.connect(dsn)
    try:
        yield conn
    finally:
        await conn.close()

Go

// Error handling with custom types
type ValidationError struct {
    Field   string
    Message string
}

func (e ValidationError) Error() string {
    return fmt.Sprintf("validation error on %s: %s", e.Field, e.Message)
}

// Option pattern for configuration
type ServerOption func(*Server)

func WithPort(port int) ServerOption {
    return func(s *Server) {
        s.port = port
    }
}

func WithTimeout(timeout time.Duration) ServerOption {
    return func(s *Server) {
        s.timeout = timeout
    }
}

func NewServer(opts ...ServerOption) *Server {
    s := &Server{
        port:    8080,
        timeout: 30 * time.Second,
    }
    for _, opt := range opts {
        opt(s)
    }
    return s
}

Testing Patterns

Unit Testing

describe('UserService', () => {
  let service: UserService;
  let mockRepo: jest.Mocked<UserRepository>;
  let mockEventBus: jest.Mocked<EventBus>;

  beforeEach(() => {
    mockRepo = createMock<UserRepository>();
    mockEventBus = createMock<EventBus>();
    service = new UserService(mockRepo, mockEventBus);
  });

  describe('createUser', () => {
    it('should create user and emit event', async () => {
      // Arrange
      const input = { email: 'test@example.com', name: 'Test' };
      const expectedUser = new User('123', input.email, input.name);
      mockRepo.save.mockResolvedValue(expectedUser);

      // Act
      const result = await service.createUser(input);

      // Assert
      expect(result).toEqual(expectedUser);
      expect(mockRepo.save).toHaveBeenCalledWith(expect.objectContaining({ email: input.email }));
      expect(mockEventBus.emit).toHaveBeenCalledWith(new UserCreatedEvent(expectedUser.id));
    });

    it('should handle duplicate email error', async () => {
      // Arrange
      mockRepo.save.mockRejectedValue(new DuplicateEmailError());

      // Act & Assert
      await expect(service.createUser({ email: 'test@example.com' })).rejects.toThrow(
        ValidationError
      );
    });
  });
});

Integration Testing

describe('API Integration', () => {
  let app: Application;
  let db: Database;

  beforeAll(async () => {
    db = await setupTestDatabase();
    app = createApp({ database: db });
  });

  afterAll(async () => {
    await db.close();
  });

  describe('POST /users', () => {
    it('should create user with valid data', async () => {
      const response = await request(app)
        .post('/users')
        .send({ email: 'new@example.com', password: 'secure123' })
        .expect(201);

      expect(response.body).toMatchObject({
        id: expect.any(String),
        email: 'new@example.com',
      });

      // Verify in database
      const user = await db.query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = $1', ['new@example.com']);
      expect(user.rows).toHaveLength(1);
    });
  });
});

Error Handling Patterns

Result Type Pattern

type Result<T, E = Error> = { ok: true; value: T } | { ok: false; error: E };

const createUserService = (repo: UserRepository) => {
  const findUser = async (id: string): Promise<Result<User, FindUserError>> => {
    try {
      const user = await repo.findById(id);
      if (!user) {
        return { ok: false, error: new UserNotFoundError(id) };
      }
      return { ok: true, value: user };
    } catch (error) {
      return { ok: false, error: new DatabaseError(error) };
    }
  };

  return { findUser };
};

// Usage with type narrowing
const result = await userService.findUser('123');
if (result.ok) {
  console.log('User found:', result.value.name);
} else {
  console.error('Error:', result.error.message);
}

Custom Error Hierarchy

const createApplicationError = (
  message: string,
  code: string,
  statusCode: number
): Error & { code: string; statusCode: number } => {
  const error = new Error(message) as any;
  error.code = code;
  error.statusCode = statusCode;
  return error;
};

const createValidationError = (fields: Record<string, string[]>) => {
  const error = createApplicationError('Validation failed', 'VALIDATION_ERROR', 400) as any;
  error.fields = fields;
  return error;
};

const createNotFoundError = (resource: string, id: string) =>
  createApplicationError(`${resource} with id ${id} not found`, 'NOT_FOUND', 404);

Performance Patterns

Caching Strategy

const createCacheManager = () => {
  const stores = new Map<string, CacheStore>();

  const getStore = (name: string): CacheStore => {
    const store = stores.get(name);
    if (!store) throw new Error(`Cache store '${name}' not found`);
    return store;
  };

  const get = async <T>(
    key: string,
    fetcher: () => Promise<T>,
    options?: CacheOptions
  ): Promise<T> => {
    const store = getStore(options?.store || 'memory');

    // Try L1 cache (memory)
    const l1Value = await store.get(key);
    if (l1Value) return l1Value;

    // Try L2 cache (Redis)
    if (options?.l2) {
      const l2Value = await getStore('redis').get(key);
      if (l2Value) {
        await store.set(key, l2Value, options.ttl);
        return l2Value;
      }
    }

    // Fetch and cache
    const value = await fetcher();
    await Promise.all(
      [
        store.set(key, value, options?.ttl),
        options?.l2 && getStore('redis').set(key, value, options.ttl),
      ].filter(Boolean)
    );

    return value;
  };

  return { get, stores };
};

Batch Processing

const createBatchProcessor = <T, R>(
  processor: (items: T[]) => Promise<R[]>,
  options: { maxSize: number; maxWait: number }
) => {
  let batch: T[] = [];
  let timer: NodeJS.Timeout | null = null;
  const pending: Array<{
    resolve: (value: R) => void;
    reject: (error: any) => void;
  }> = [];

  const flush = async () => {
    if (timer) {
      clearTimeout(timer);
      timer = null;
    }

    const items = [...batch];
    const callbacks = [...pending];
    batch = [];
    pending.length = 0;

    try {
      const results = await processor(items);
      callbacks.forEach((cb, i) => cb.resolve(results[i]));
    } catch (error) {
      callbacks.forEach((cb) => cb.reject(error));
    }
  };

  const add = (item: T): Promise<R> => {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      batch.push(item);
      pending.push({ resolve, reject });

      if (batch.length >= options.maxSize) {
        flush();
      } else if (!timer) {
        timer = setTimeout(() => flush(), options.maxWait);
      }
    });
  };

  return { add, flush };
};

Framework-Specific Generation

React Components

// Generated functional component with hooks
interface UserProfileProps {
  userId: string;
  onUpdate?: (user: User) => void;
}

export const UserProfile = ({ userId, onUpdate }: UserProfileProps) => {
  const [user, setUser] = useState<User | null>(null);
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
  const [error, setError] = useState<Error | null>(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    let cancelled = false;

    const loadUser = async () => {
      try {
        setLoading(true);
        const data = await userApi.getUser(userId);
        if (!cancelled) {
          setUser(data);
        }
      } catch (err) {
        if (!cancelled) {
          setError(err as Error);
        }
      } finally {
        if (!cancelled) {
          setLoading(false);
        }
      }
    };

    loadUser();

    return () => {
      cancelled = true;
    };
  }, [userId]);

  if (loading) return <Spinner />;
  if (error) return <ErrorMessage error={error} />;
  if (!user) return <NotFound />;

  return (
    <div className="user-profile">
      <h2>{user.name}</h2>
      <p>{user.email}</p>
      {onUpdate && <button onClick={() => onUpdate(user)}>Update Profile</button>}
    </div>
  );
};

Express.js Routes

// Generated router with middleware
export function createUserRouter(dependencies: Dependencies): Router {
  const router = Router();
  const { userService, authMiddleware, validator } = dependencies;

  router.post(
    '/users',
    authMiddleware.requireRole('admin'),
    validator.body(CreateUserSchema),
    asyncHandler(async (req, res) => {
      const user = await userService.create(req.body);
      res.status(201).json(toUserDTO(user));
    })
  );

  router.get(
    '/users/:id',
    authMiddleware.requireAuth(),
    validator.params(IdSchema),
    asyncHandler(async (req, res) => {
      const user = await userService.findById(req.params.id);
      if (!user) {
        throw new NotFoundError('User', req.params.id);
      }
      res.json(toUserDTO(user));
    })
  );

  return router;
}

Configuration Management

Environment-based Config

interface Config {
  database: DatabaseConfig;
  redis: RedisConfig;
  api: ApiConfig;
  features: FeatureFlags;
}

const loadConfig = (): Config => ({
  database: {
    host: process.env.DB_HOST || 'localhost',
    port: parseInt(process.env.DB_PORT || '5432'),
    name: process.env.DB_NAME || 'app',
    user: process.env.DB_USER || 'user',
    password: process.env.DB_PASSWORD || '',
    pool: {
      min: parseInt(process.env.DB_POOL_MIN || '2'),
      max: parseInt(process.env.DB_POOL_MAX || '10'),
    },

const validateConfig = (config: Config): void => {
  const isProduction = () => process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production';
  if (!config.database.password && isProduction()) {
    throw new Error('Database password is required in production');
  }
