| 151 | +## 🎯 Common Patterns |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | +### Basic CRUD Object |
| 154 | +```typescript |
| 155 | +import { defineStack } from '@objectstack/spec'; |
| 156 | + |
| 157 | +const stack = defineStack({ |
| 158 | + manifest: { id: 'my-app', type: 'app', name: 'my-app', version: '1.0.0' }, |
| 159 | + objects: [{ |
| 160 | + name: 'task', |
| 161 | + label: 'Task', |
| 162 | + fields: { |
| 163 | + subject: { type: 'text', label: 'Subject', required: true }, |
| 164 | + status: { |
| 165 | + type: 'select', |
| 166 | + label: 'Status', |
| 167 | + options: [ |
| 168 | + { value: 'todo', label: 'To Do' }, |
| 169 | + { value: 'done', label: 'Done' } |
| 170 | + ] |
| 171 | + } |
| 172 | + } |
| 173 | + }] |
| 174 | +}); |
| 175 | +``` |
| 176 | + |
| 177 | +### Relationships |
| 178 | +```typescript |
| 179 | +// Master-Detail (Cascade delete) |
| 180 | +{ |
| 181 | + type: 'lookup', |
| 182 | + label: 'Account', |
| 183 | + reference: { object: 'account' }, |
| 184 | + relationshipType: 'master_detail', |
| 185 | +} |
| 186 | + |
| 187 | +// Lookup (Regular reference) |
| 188 | +{ |
| 189 | + type: 'lookup', |
| 190 | + label: 'Owner', |
| 191 | + reference: { object: 'user' }, |
| 192 | + relationshipType: 'lookup', |
| 193 | +} |
| 194 | +``` |
| 195 | + |
| 196 | +### Formulas |
| 197 | +```typescript |
| 198 | +{ |
| 199 | + type: 'formula', |
| 200 | + label: 'Full Name', |
| 201 | + returnType: 'text', |
| 202 | + formula: 'CONCATENATE(first_name, " ", last_name)', |
| 203 | +} |
| 204 | +``` |
| 205 | + |
| 206 | +### Validation Rules |
| 207 | +```typescript |
| 208 | +validation: { |
| 209 | + rules: [ |
| 210 | + { |
| 211 | + name: 'positive_revenue', |
| 212 | + errorMessage: 'Revenue must be positive', |
| 213 | + formula: 'annual_revenue > 0', |
| 214 | + } |
| 215 | + ] |
| 216 | +} |
| 217 | +``` |
| 218 | + |
| 219 | +### Workflows |
| 220 | +```typescript |
| 221 | +workflows: [ |
| 222 | + { |
| 223 | + name: 'update_last_activity', |
| 224 | + triggerType: 'on_create_or_update', |
| 225 | + conditions: { field: 'status', operator: 'equals', value: 'closed' }, |
| 226 | + actions: [ |
| 227 | + { |
| 228 | + type: 'field_update', |
| 229 | + field: 'last_activity_date', |
| 230 | + value: 'TODAY()', |
| 231 | + } |
| 232 | + ] |
| 233 | + } |
| 234 | +] |
| 235 | +``` |
