## SOLID Principles

### Single Responsibility Principle
Each function/component should have one clear purpose.

**Bad:**
```typescript
function handleUserAndSendEmail(userData) {
  // Validates user, saves to DB, sends email
  // Too many responsibilities!
}
```

**Good:**
```typescript
function validateUser(userData) { }
function saveUser(user) { }
function sendWelcomeEmail(email) { }
```

### Open/Closed Principle
Open for extension, closed for modification.

**Bad:**
```typescript
function getDiscount(userType: string) {
  if (userType === 'premium') return 0.2
  if (userType === 'regular') return 0.1
  // Need to modify function for new types
}
```

**Good:**
```typescript
interface DiscountStrategy {
  getDiscount(): number
}

class PremiumDiscount implements DiscountStrategy {
  getDiscount() { return 0.2 }
}
```

### Liskov Substitution Principle
Subtypes must be substitutable for their base types.

### Interface Segregation Principle
Don't force clients to depend on methods they don't use.

### Dependency Inversion Principle
Depend on abstractions, not concretions.

## Common Code Smells

### Long Functions
**Problem:** Functions over 20-30 lines
**Solution:** Break into smaller functions

### Large Components
**Problem:** React components over 200 lines
**Solution:** Split into smaller components

### Duplicate Code
**Problem:** Same logic in multiple places
**Solution:** Extract to reusable function

### Magic Numbers/Strings
**Problem:** Unexplained literals in code
**Solution:** Use named constants

```typescript
// Bad
if (user.age > 18) { }

// Good
const MINIMUM_AGE = 18
if (user.age > MINIMUM_AGE) { }
```

### Deep Nesting
**Problem:** More than 3-4 levels of nesting
**Solution:** Extract functions, use early returns

```typescript
// Bad
function process(data) {
  if (data) {
    if (data.isValid) {
      if (data.user) {
        if (data.user.active) {
          // Deep nesting
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

// Good
function process(data) {
  if (!data || !data.isValid) return
  if (!data.user || !data.user.active) return
  // Clean, flat code
}
```

### Primitive Obsession
**Problem:** Using primitives instead of objects
**Solution:** Create type-safe objects

```typescript
// Bad
function sendEmail(to: string, subject: string, body: string) { }

// Good
interface Email {
  to: EmailAddress
  subject: string
  body: string
}
function sendEmail(email: Email) { }
```

### Long Parameter Lists
**Problem:** Functions with 4+ parameters
**Solution:** Use object parameters

```typescript
// Bad
function createUser(name, email, age, address, phone) { }

// Good
interface CreateUserParams {
  name: string
  email: string
  age: number
  address: string
  phone: string
}
function createUser(params: CreateUserParams) { }
```

## Naming Conventions

### Functions
- Use verbs: `getUser`, `createPost`, `handleClick`
- Be specific: `fetchUserById` not `getData`
- Boolean functions: `isActive`, `hasPermission`, `canEdit`

### Variables
- Descriptive: `userEmail` not `e`
- Booleans: `isLoading`, `hasError`, `shouldShow`
- Arrays: plural names `users`, `posts`, `items`
- Constants: `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE` for true constants

### Components
- PascalCase: `UserProfile`, `BlogPost`
- Descriptive: `LoginForm` not `Form`
- Specific: `UserAvatarImage` not `Image`

### Types/Interfaces
- PascalCase: `User`, `ApiResponse`
- Prefix interfaces with 'I' if needed: `IUser`
- Props: `ComponentNameProps`

## React Best Practices

### Component Structure
```typescript
// 1. Imports
import React from 'react'
import { useState } from 'react'

// 2. Types
interface Props {
  userId: string
}

// 3. Component
export function UserProfile({ userId }: Props) {
  // 4. Hooks
  const [data, setData] = useState()

  // 5. Event handlers
  const handleClick = () => { }

  // 6. Effects
  useEffect(() => { }, [])

  // 7. Render helpers
  const renderContent = () => { }

  // 8. Return JSX
  return <div>...</div>
}
```

### Avoid Common Mistakes
- Don't use array index as key
- Don't call hooks conditionally
- Don't mutate state directly
- Don't forget to cleanup effects
- Don't use inline functions in JSX (for performance)
- Don't over-optimize prematurely

### When to Use useMemo/useCallback
```typescript
// Use useMemo for expensive computations
const expensiveValue = useMemo(() => {
  return computeExpensiveValue(data)
}, [data])

// Use useCallback for functions passed to child components
const handleClick = useCallback(() => {
  doSomething(id)
}, [id])
```

## Performance Review Points

### Frontend Performance
- [ ] Large lists use virtualization
- [ ] Images are optimized (Next.js Image)
- [ ] Code splitting implemented
- [ ] Lazy loading for routes
- [ ] Unnecessary re-renders prevented
- [ ] Bundle size checked
- [ ] No blocking operations on main thread

### Backend Performance
- [ ] Database queries optimized
- [ ] Proper indexes used
- [ ] N+1 queries avoided
- [ ] Caching implemented where appropriate
- [ ] Pagination for large datasets
- [ ] Connection pooling configured

### Database Query Optimization
```typescript
// Bad: N+1 query
const users = await prisma.user.findMany()
for (const user of users) {
  const posts = await prisma.post.findMany({ where: { userId: user.id } })
}

// Good: Include relation
const users = await prisma.user.findMany({
  include: { posts: true }
})
```

## Refactoring Strategies

### Extract Function
When code block has a clear purpose, extract it.

### Extract Component
When JSX section is reusable or complex, extract to component.

### Introduce Parameter Object
When function has many parameters, group into object.

### Replace Conditional with Polymorphism
When you have type-based conditionals, use interfaces.

### Simplify Conditional Expressions
Use early returns, guard clauses, and descriptive names.

## Code Review Comments

### Constructive Feedback Format
```
[CATEGORY]: Description of issue

Why: Explain the problem
Suggestion: Provide specific improvement
Example: Show better approach (if applicable)
```

**Categories:**
- **CRITICAL**: Security, bugs, data loss
- **MAJOR**: Performance, incorrect logic
- **MINOR**: Code quality, style
- **NIT**: Small improvements
- **QUESTION**: Clarification needed
- **PRAISE**: Good practices (important!)

### Example Comments

**Good Comment:**
```
MAJOR: Potential N+1 query issue

Why: Fetching posts in a loop will result in multiple database queries
Suggestion: Use Prisma's include to fetch posts with users in a single query
Example: prisma.user.findMany({ include: { posts: true } })
```

**Bad Comment:**
```
This is wrong. Fix it.
```
