TypeScript Coding Standards

Principles

Type Safety

• Enable strict mode in tsconfig.json
• Avoid 'any' type - use 'unknown' when type is truly uncertain
• Use const assertions for literal types (as const)
• Prefer type inference over explicit types when obvious
• Use discriminated unions for complex state modeling

Naming Conventions

• Use PascalCase for types, interfaces, and classes
• Use camelCase for variables, functions, and properties
• Use UPPER_SNAKE_CASE for constants
• Prefix interfaces with 'I' only when necessary to avoid conflicts
• Use descriptive names that reveal intent
