- **Strict Mode**: Enabled with `noUncheckedIndexedAccess` and `noImplicitOverride`
- **Module Resolution**: NodeNext
- **Import Extensions**: Must use `.js` for ESM imports (TypeScript requirement)
## Code Patterns & Conventions
### Error Handling Pattern
```typescript
// 1. Use CliError for user-facing errors
throw new CliError(ERROR_CODES.MISSING_CARD_KEY, 'Card key is required');
// 2. Wrap commands with context
export const myCommand = withCommandContext('my-command', async (options) => {
// Command implementation
});
// 3. Centralized error handling in main()
catch (error) {
handleCliError(error, { verbose: getVerboseMode(true) }, 'command name');
}
```
### Command Structure Pattern
```typescript
export async function commandName(options: CommonOptions) {
// 1. Validate inputs
const normalizedPath = await validateFilePath(options.filename, ['.js']);
// 2. Initialize API with retry support
const api = await initializePbApi(credentials, options);
const verbose = getVerboseMode(options.verbose);
// 3. Show progress (if not piped)
const spinner = createSpinner(!isStdoutPiped(), getSafeText('💳 Processing...'));
// 4. Make API calls with retry
const result = await withRetry(() => api.someMethod(), { verbose });
// 5. Format output
formatOutput(result.data, options);
}
```
### Utility Functions Usage
- **Credentials**: `loadCredentialsFile()`, `readCredentialsFile()`, `writeCredentialsFile()`
- **Profiles**: `getActiveProfile()`, `setActiveProfile()`, `readProfile()`, `deleteProfile()`
- **Terminal**: `getSafeText()`, `detectTerminalCapabilities()`, `getTerminalDimensions()`
- **Output**: `formatOutput()`, `printTable()`, `formatFileSize()`
- **Validation**: `validateAmount()`, `validateAccountId()`, `validateFilePath()`
- **API**: `initializeApi()`, `initializePbApi()`, `withRetry()`
- **Security**: `warnAboutSecretUsage()`, `detectSecretUsageFromEnv()`
- **History**: `logCommandHistory()`, `readCommandHistory()`
### Import Patterns
```typescript
// Node.js built-ins (use node: prefix)
import { promises as fsPromises } from 'node:fs';
import { homedir } from 'node:os';
// External packages
import chalk from 'chalk';
import { Command } from 'commander';
// Internal modules (use .js extension)
import { CliError, ERROR_CODES } from '../errors.js';
import { formatOutput, getVerboseMode } from '../utils.js';
// Type-only imports
import type { CommonOptions, Credentials } from './types.js';
```
## Testing Patterns
### Mock Setup
```typescript
vi.mock('../../src/utils.ts', async () => {
const actual = await vi.importActual<typeof import('../../src/utils.ts')>();
return {
...actual,
initializeApi: vi.fn(),
createSpinner: vi.fn(() => ({
start: vi.fn(function() { return this; }),
stop: vi.fn(),
text: '',
})),
};
});
```
### Test Structure
- Use `describe()` blocks for grouping
- Use `it()` for individual test cases
- Mock external dependencies
- Test both success and error paths
- Use `expect().toThrow(CliError)` for error testing
## Code Quality Standards
### Biome Configuration
- **Quote Style**: Single quotes
- **Semicolons**: Always
- **Indentation**: 2 spaces
- **Line Width**: 100 characters
- **Trailing Commas**: ES5 style
- **Arrow Parentheses**: Always
### Linting Rules
- `noExplicitAny`: Error (use `biome-ignore` comments when necessary, e.g., generic function wrappers)
- `noUnusedVariables`: Error
- `noUnusedImports`: Auto-fixed
- Recommended rules enabled
### Code Style Requirements
1. **JSDoc Comments**: Required for exported functions
2. **Type Safety**: Avoid `any`, use proper types or `unknown`
3. **Error Handling**: Always use `CliError` for user-facing errors
4. **Async/Await**: Prefer over promises
5. **Terminal Safety**: Use `getSafeText()` for emoji/Unicode text
6. **Progress Indicators**: Use `createSpinner()` for operations
7. **Output Formatting**: Use `formatOutput()` for structured data
## Environment-Specific Behavior
### Terminal Detection
- Automatically detects terminal capabilities (Unicode/emoji support)
- Falls back to ASCII when terminal doesn't support emojis
- Respects `TERM`, `NO_COLOR`, `FORCE_COLOR` environment variables
- Detects piped output (`isStdoutPiped()`) to suppress interactive elements
### Non-Interactive Mode
- Detects CI/CD environments (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.)
- Shows security warnings when secrets are in environment variables
- Suppresses interactive prompts when appropriate
### Verbose/Debug Mode
- `--verbose` flag or `DEBUG=1` environment variable
- Shows detailed API calls, rate limit info, retry attempts
- Uses `getVerboseMode()` utility to check both sources
## Security Considerations
### Secret Management
- **Preferred**: Store in credential files (`~/.ipb/.credentials.json` or profiles)
- **Warning**: Environment variables are detected and warned about
- **File Permissions**: Credential files use `0o600` (read/write owner only)
- **Atomic Writes**: `writeFileAtomic()` ensures data integrity
### Input Validation
- Always validate user inputs (amounts, account IDs, file paths)
- Use validation utilities: `validateAmount()`, `validateAccountId()`, `validateFilePath()`
- Provide clear error messages with suggestions
## Command Development Guidelines
### Adding New Commands
1. Create file in `src/cmds/` following naming convention (`kebab-case.ts`)
2. Export function following pattern: `export async function commandName(options: Options)`
3. Add to `src/cmds/index.ts` exports
4. Register in `src/index.ts` with `.command()`, `.description()`, `.action()`
5. Add options using `.option()` or `.requiredOption()`
6. Add tests in `test/cmds/`
7. Update shell completion scripts if needed
8. Add to `GENERATED_README.md` (auto-generated via `npm run docs`)
### Command Options
- Use `CommonOptions` interface for shared options (verbose, json, yaml, output, profile, etc.)
- Add command-specific options to command's `Options` interface
- Use `.requiredOption()` for required inputs
- Provide helpful descriptions and examples
### Output Formatting
- Support `--json`, `--yaml`, `--output` flags via `formatOutput()`
- Automatically detect piped output and use JSON format
- Use `printTable()` for tabular data (with `cli-table3`)
- Show file sizes in progress indicators using `formatFileSize()`
### Destructive Operations
- Require confirmation using `confirmDestructiveOperation()`
- Support `--yes` flag to bypass confirmation
- Check for non-interactive mode to auto-confirm when appropriate
## File Operations
### File Path Handling
- Use `validateFilePath()` for reading files
- Use `validateFilePathForWrite()` for writing files
- Use `normalizeFilePath()` to expand `~` and resolve paths
- Check file extensions and permissions
### Atomic Operations
- Use `writeFileAtomic()` for credential files and critical data
- Ensures data integrity with temp file + rename pattern
- Handles permissions and cleanup automatically
## API Integration
### API Client Initialization
- Use `initializeApi()` for Card API
- Use `initializePbApi()` for Programmable Banking API
- Both support credential overrides via options
- Both validate credentials before initialization
### Rate Limiting
- All API calls wrapped in `withRetry()` for automatic retry
- Exponential backoff with jitter
- Detects rate limits from error responses
- Shows rate limit info in verbose mode
### Error Handling
- API errors caught and converted to `CliError` when appropriate
- Rate limit errors automatically retried
- Network errors provide actionable suggestions
- Validation errors show specific field requirements
## Testing Guidelines
### Test File Structure
- One test file per command in `test/cmds/`
- Mock external dependencies (API clients, file system, etc.)
- Test both success and error cases
- Use `vi.hoisted()` for shared mocks
### Mock Patterns
- Mock `../../src/utils.ts` with actual implementations + overrides
- Mock `../../src/index.ts` for credentials and shared exports
- Mock file system operations
- Mock terminal capabilities for consistent output
