Code Standards & Best Practices

General Best Practices

• Write clean, readable code with consistent formatting
• Use meaningful variable and function names
• Implement proper error handling
• Add comments for complex business logic
• Follow security best practices (sanitization, validation, escaping)
• Optimize for performance when possible
• Use modern ES6+ features appropriately

Vue Component Architecture

REQUIRED: Use singleton composables for shared state across components.

• See composable-architecture.md for the full pattern
• See vue-guidelines.md for component communication rules
• Do NOT use provide/inject - use singleton composables instead
• Do NOT pass functions as props when multiple components need them

Changelog Requirement

Important: When fixing bugs or adding new features, please add the changes or updates to the changelog: changelog.txt
