| 3 | +## Core Philosophy |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +- **Zero-maintenance model updates**: Use code generation over manual types |
| 6 | +- **Non-blocking operations**: Keep UI responsive with async task spawning |
| 7 | +- **Graceful degradation**: Log errors, don't crash (only panic for truly unrecoverable errors) |
| 8 | +- **K9s alignment**: Follow K9s conventions for keybindings and UX |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +## Before You Start |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +1. Run `make ci` after all changes (formats, lints, tests) |
| 13 | +2. Large changes require accompanying tests |
| 14 | +3. Command/keybinding changes must update help text (`src/tui/views/help.rs` and footer) |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +## Code Standards |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +### Error Handling |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +```rust |
| 21 | +// ✅ Good - Add context to errors |
| 22 | +api.patch(name, ¶ms, &patch) |
| 23 | + .await |
| 24 | + .context(format!("Failed to suspend {}/{}", resource_type, name))?; |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +// ✅ Good - Log errors, return Result |
| 27 | +if let Err(e) = operation() { |
| 28 | + tracing::warn!("Operation failed: {}", e); |
| 29 | + return Ok(()); // Continue execution |
| 30 | +} |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +// ❌ Bad - Missing context |
| 33 | +api.patch(name, ¶ms, &patch).await?; |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +// ❌ Bad - Unwrap (use only in tests) |
| 36 | +let value = result.unwrap(); |
| 37 | +``` |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +### State Management |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +- Use `Arc<RwLock<>>` only when truly shared across threads |
| 42 | +- Prefer simple `HashMap`/`Vec` for single-threaded state |
| 43 | +- Keep `App` struct focused - extract complex state into sub-structs |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +### Async Operations |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +```rust |
| 48 | +// ✅ Good - Spawn tasks, use channels for results |
| 49 | +let (tx, rx) = tokio::sync::oneshot::channel(); |
| 50 | +self.pending_rx = Some(rx); |
| 51 | +tokio::spawn(async move { |
| 52 | + let result = operation().await; |
| 53 | + let _ = tx.send(result); |
| 54 | +}); |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +// Later, poll for results |
| 57 | +if let Some(result) = app.try_get_result() { |
| 58 | + app.handle_result(result); |
| 59 | +} |
| 60 | +``` |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +### Type Safety |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +```rust |
| 65 | +// ✅ Good - Use proper types |
| 66 | +struct ResourceKey { |
| 67 | + resource_type: String, |
| 68 | + namespace: String, |
| 69 | + name: String, |
| 70 | +} |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +// ❌ Bad - Tuple types or string parsing |
| 73 | +type Request = (String, String, String); // What do these mean? |
| 74 | +let parts: Vec<&str> = key.split(':').collect(); // Fragile |
| 75 | +``` |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +### Adding New Resource Types |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +1. Ensure CRD is in `crds/` directory |
| 80 | +2. Run `./scripts/update-flux.sh` to regenerate models |
| 81 | +3. Add to `FluxResourceKind` enum |
| 82 | +4. Add `impl_watchable!` macro usage |
| 83 | +5. Register in `ResourceRegistry` |
| 84 | +6. Add to `fetch_resource!` match in `src/tui/mod.rs` |
| 85 | +7. Update tests in `tests/resource_registry.rs` |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +**Important**: Always use `FluxResourceKind` enum and `get_gvk_for_resource_type()` helper function |
| 88 | +instead of hardcoding resource types, API groups, versions, or plural names. This ensures a single |
| 89 | +source of truth and prevents inconsistencies when Flux versions change. |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +### Adding New Operations |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +1. Implement `FluxOperation` trait |
| 94 | +2. Register in `OperationRegistry::new()` |
| 95 | +3. Add keybinding to footer (`src/tui/views/footer.rs`) |
| 96 | +4. Add to help text (`src/tui/views/help.rs`) |
| 97 | +5. Write operation tests |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +### View Components |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +- Keep views stateless - they receive all needed data as parameters |
| 102 | +- Extract complex rendering logic into helper functions |
| 103 | +- Use theme colors consistently (never hardcode colors) |
| 104 | +- Handle small terminal sizes gracefully |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +## Testing Requirements |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +### What to Test |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +- ✅ CRD compatibility (status field extraction) |
| 111 | +- ✅ Resource registry completeness |
| 112 | +- ✅ Field extraction from resources |
| 113 | +- ✅ Operation validity for resource types |
| 114 | +- ❌ Don't over-test generated code (trust kopium) |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +### Test Organization |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +```rust |
| 119 | +// Unit tests in module |
| 120 | +#[cfg(test)] |
| 121 | +mod tests { |
| 122 | + use super::*; |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | + #[test] |
| 125 | + fn test_behavior() { |
| 126 | + // Test logic |
| 127 | + } |
| 128 | +} |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +// Integration tests in tests/ directory |
| 131 | +// tests/crd_compatibility.rs |
| 132 | +// tests/resource_registry.rs |
| 133 | +``` |
| 134 | + |
| 135 | +## Common Patterns |
| 136 | + |
| 137 | +### Resource Key Format |
| 138 | + |
| 139 | +- Always use `resource_type:namespace:name` format |
| 140 | +- Consider creating `ResourceKey` type for type safety |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +### Channel Management |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | +- Use `oneshot::channel()` for single-response operations |
| 145 | +- Store `Receiver` in `App`, spawn task with `Sender` |
| 146 | +- Poll with `try_recv()` in main loop (non-blocking) |
| 147 | + |
| 148 | +### Theme Usage |
| 149 | + |
| 150 | +```rust |
| 151 | +// ✅ Good - Use theme methods |
| 152 | +let style = self.theme.status_ready_style(); |
| 153 | +let text = Span::styled("Ready", style); |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | +// ❌ Bad - Hardcode colors |
| 156 | +let text = Span::styled("Ready", Style::default().fg(Color::Green)); |
| 157 | +``` |
| 158 | + |
| 159 | +## CI/CD |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +- `make ci` runs: `cargo fmt`, `cargo clippy`, `cargo test` |
| 162 | +- All CI checks must pass before merge |
| 163 | +- Clippy warnings are treated as errors |
| 164 | +- Generated code in `src/models/_generated/` has clippy suppressed |
| 165 | + |
| 166 | +## Documentation |
| 167 | + |
| 168 | +- Public API should have doc comments |
| 169 | +- Complex logic deserves inline comments |
| 170 | +- Update DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md for architectural changes |
| 171 | +- Update README.md for user-facing changes |
| 172 | +- **Update docs site**: When making user-facing changes (features, commands, operations, configuration), update the documentation site in `docs/` as part of the same work |
| 173 | + |
| 174 | +## Performance |
| 175 | + |
| 176 | +- Profile before optimizing |
| 177 | +- Watch API efficiency is critical - use namespaced APIs when possible |
| 178 | +- Defer expensive operations (don't block UI) |
| 179 | +- Cache layout dimensions to prevent flicker (see `cached_header_height`) |
| 180 | + |
| 181 | +## Common Gotchas |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | +- Don't forget to invalidate layout cache when state affecting layout changes |
| 184 | +- Always check `config.read_only` before write operations |
| 185 | +- Update both `NO_PROXY` and `no_proxy` for environment compatibility |
| 186 | +- Generated models are version-controlled for reproducible builds |
| 187 | +- **Never hardcode Flux resource types, API groups, versions, or plural names** - always use `FluxResourceKind` enum and `get_gvk_for_resource_type()` helper function to ensure single source of truth |
