| 2 | + |
| 3 | +Agent guidance for working in `full-stack-fastapi-template`. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Purpose |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +- Prefer small, targeted changes that fit the existing backend/frontend split. |
| 8 | +- Verify with the narrowest useful command before running broader checks. |
| 9 | +- Preserve existing architecture and generated-code boundaries. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +## Repository Layout |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +- `backend/`: FastAPI app, SQLModel models, services, repositories, middleware, pytest suite. |
| 14 | +- `frontend/`: React 19 + TypeScript + Vite app with TanStack Router/Query and Playwright tests. |
| 15 | +- `scripts/`: top-level Docker-backed helpers and frontend client generation. |
| 16 | +- `backend/scripts/`: backend-local lint, format, and test helpers. |
| 17 | +- `frontend/src/client/`: generated OpenAPI client. Do not hand-edit. |
| 18 | +- `frontend/src/routeTree.gen.ts`: generated TanStack route tree. Do not hand-edit. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +## Rule Files |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +- No `.cursor/rules/` directory was found. |
| 23 | +- No `.cursorrules` file was found. |
| 24 | +- No `.github/copilot-instructions.md` file was found. |
| 25 | +- If any of those files are added later, merge their repo-specific rules into this file. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +## Tooling |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +- Python package management: `uv` |
| 30 | +- Python version: `>=3.10,<4.0` |
| 31 | +- Backend linting/formatting: `ruff` |
| 32 | +- Backend type checking: `mypy --strict` |
| 33 | +- Backend testing: `pytest` with `coverage` |
| 34 | +- Frontend package manager/runtime: `bun` |
| 35 | +- Frontend formatting/linting: `biome` |
| 36 | +- Frontend build: `tsc -p tsconfig.build.json && vite build` |
| 37 | +- Frontend E2E testing: `playwright` |
| 38 | +- Full-stack local environment: `docker compose` |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +## Setup |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +### Root |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +- Install frontend dependencies: `bun install` |
| 45 | +- Root scripts proxy to the frontend workspace. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +### Backend |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +- Install dependencies: `cd backend && uv sync` |
| 50 | +- Activate virtualenv if needed: `cd backend && source .venv/bin/activate` |
| 51 | +- Use `backend/.venv/bin/python` as the interpreter. |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +### Frontend |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +- Start local dev server: `cd frontend && bun run dev` |
| 56 | +- Set `VITE_API_URL` when pointing the frontend at a non-default API. |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +## Development Commands |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +### Docker Compose |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +- Start full stack: `docker compose up -d` |
| 63 | +- Start with live reload workflow: `docker compose watch` |
| 64 | +- Start backend dependency stack for Playwright: `docker compose up -d --wait backend` |
| 65 | +- Stop and remove volumes: `docker compose down -v` |
| 66 | +- View logs: `docker compose logs` or `docker compose logs backend` |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +### Backend Validation |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +- Lint/type/format-check bundle: `cd backend && bash scripts/lint.sh` |
| 71 | +- Auto-fix backend style: `cd backend && bash scripts/format.sh` |
| 72 | +- Full backend suite: `cd backend && bash scripts/test.sh` |
| 73 | +- Full Docker-backed suite from repo root: `bash ./scripts/test.sh` |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +### Backend Single Test |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +- One test file locally: `cd backend && coverage run -m pytest tests/api/routes/test_users.py` |
| 78 | +- One test function locally: `cd backend && coverage run -m pytest tests/api/routes/test_users.py::test_get_users_superuser_me` |
| 79 | +- One test file in running container: `docker compose exec backend bash scripts/tests-start.sh tests/api/routes/test_users.py` |
| 80 | +- One test function in running container: `docker compose exec backend bash scripts/tests-start.sh tests/api/routes/test_users.py::test_get_users_superuser_me` |
| 81 | +- Stop on first backend failure in container: `docker compose exec backend bash scripts/tests-start.sh -x` |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +### Frontend Validation |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +- Lint/format frontend from root: `bun run lint` |
| 86 | +- Lint/format frontend from workspace: `cd frontend && bun run lint` |
| 87 | +- Frontend build: `cd frontend && bun run build` |
| 88 | +- Full Playwright suite from root: `bun run test` |
| 89 | +- Full Playwright suite from workspace: `cd frontend && bun run test` |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +### Frontend Single Test |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +- One Playwright file: `cd frontend && bunx playwright test tests/example.spec.ts` |
| 94 | +- One Playwright test by name: `cd frontend && bunx playwright test -g "login"` |
| 95 | +- Playwright UI mode: `cd frontend && bunx playwright test --ui` |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +### Client Generation |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +- Preferred: `bash ./scripts/generate-client.sh` |
| 100 | +- Frontend-only form: `cd frontend && bun run generate-client` |
| 101 | +- Regenerate after backend OpenAPI changes. |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +## Architecture Notes |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +- Backend generally follows `router -> service -> repository` by feature. |
| 106 | +- Keep route handlers thin; move business logic out of routers. |
| 107 | +- Frontend uses file-based TanStack Router routes under `frontend/src/routes/`. |
| 108 | +- API interaction should stay in generated client calls and React Query hooks/mutations. |
| 109 | +- Reuse shared UI primitives before creating new abstractions. |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +## Backend Style Guidelines |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +- Use explicit type annotations throughout; `mypy` is strict. |
| 114 | +- Prefer `uuid.UUID`, SQLModel models, and existing schema classes already used nearby. |
| 115 | +- Keep imports grouped and sorted by Ruff/isort defaults. |
| 116 | +- Use concise docstrings only when they add real information. |
| 117 | +- Prefer `HTTPException` for expected request/domain failures with stable status codes and clear `detail` values. |
| 118 | +- Let middleware handle unexpected server errors instead of broad ad hoc catches. |
| 119 | +- Avoid `print`; Ruff forbids it. |
| 120 | +- Reuse shared primitives such as `Message`, `PaginatedResponse`, `SessionDep`, and current-user deps. |
| 121 | +- When mutating SQLModel instances, `commit()` and `refresh()` when the caller needs the updated object. |
| 122 | +- Keep authorization checks aligned with nearby routes, especially around sensitive resources. |
| 123 | +- Do not make Alembic changes unless the task really requires a schema change. |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +## Frontend Style Guidelines |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | +- Keep code compatible with TypeScript `strict` mode. |
| 128 | +- Prefer `@/` path aliases for app code imports. |
| 129 | +- Follow Biome defaults in this repo: spaces, double quotes, minimal semicolons. |
| 130 | +- Let Biome organize imports rather than hand-tuning ordering. |
| 131 | +- Prefer functional React components and existing hook patterns. |
| 132 | +- Use `zod` and `react-hook-form` for forms when matching current flows. |
| 133 | +- Handle async failures through existing helpers such as `handleError` and toast utilities. |
| 134 | +- Avoid parameter reassignment; Biome treats it as an error. |
| 135 | +- Use self-closing JSX elements where applicable. |
| 136 | +- Avoid broad rewrites of `frontend/src/components/ui/`; it is mostly library-style code. |
| 137 | +- Avoid `any` unless truly necessary, even though Biome permits it. |
| 138 | + |
| 139 | +## Naming Conventions |
| 140 | + |
| 141 | +- Python classes: `PascalCase` |
| 142 | +- Python functions, variables, and modules: `snake_case` |
| 143 | +- React components: `PascalCase` |
| 144 | +- Hooks: `useX` |
| 145 | +- Keep route file names aligned with current TanStack Router naming patterns, including `_layout` segments. |
| 146 | +- Match nearby naming instead of renaming for personal preference. |
| 147 | + |
| 148 | +## Error Handling |
| 149 | + |
| 150 | +- Backend: raise `HTTPException` for expected failures and return typed response models when schemas already exist. |
| 151 | +- Backend: preserve middleware-based logging and 500 shaping for unexpected exceptions. |
| 152 | +- Frontend: preserve existing auth failure behavior that clears tokens and redirects on `401/403`. |
| 153 | +- Frontend: show API failures through shared toast/error helpers where possible. |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | +## Testing Expectations |
| 156 | + |
| 157 | +- Run the smallest relevant test first. |
| 158 | +- For backend logic changes, start with a targeted pytest invocation before the full suite. |
| 159 | +- For frontend UI changes, start with the narrowest Playwright file or `-g` match. |
| 160 | +- If API contracts change, run both backend and frontend checks that cover that contract. |
| 161 | +- If you regenerate the frontend client, review generated diffs separately from handwritten changes. |
| 162 | + |
| 163 | +## Change Safety |
| 164 | + |
| 165 | +- Do not hand-edit generated files unless the task explicitly requires it. |
| 166 | +- Do not silently change tooling or scripts unless the task is about build/dev workflow. |
| 167 | +- Never commit real secrets; `.env` values in docs are placeholders. |
| 168 | +- If models or schema change, generate and commit the matching Alembic revision. |
| 169 | +- Prefer minimal diffs that preserve current architecture and conventions. |
