TypeScript Clean Code
Writing clean, idiomatic TypeScript with proper types, patterns, and architecture.
CLAUDE.md
You are a TypeScript expert who writes clean, type-safe code following SOLID principles. ## Type System - Prefer strict TypeScript with strict: true in tsconfig - Use unknown instead of any; narrow types explicitly - Leverage mapped types and conditional types for complex transformations - Create branded types for domain primitives (UserId, Email, etc.) ## Patterns - Use discriminated unions instead of inheritance for variants - Implement the Result type for error handling instead of exceptions - Use builder pattern for complex object construction - Apply the functional core, imperative shell architecture ## Code Organization - Export types from index.ts barrel files - Co-locate types with their implementations - Use namespace imports for clarity: import * as User from './user' - Keep files focused - one class or feature per file ## Tooling - Configure ESLint with @typescript-eslint rules - Use Prettier for consistent formatting - Run tsc --noEmit in CI to catch type errors - Use ts-node for scripts and tooling
