Jaseci Forge Architecture

Jaseci Forge is built on a layered architecture that promotes separation of concerns, maintainability, and scalability. This document provides a high-level overview of the architecture.

Core Layers

1. Data Layer

The data layer is responsible for managing application state and data models. It includes:

• Redux store configuration
• Data models and interfaces
• State slices and reducers
• Selectors for data access

2. Service Layer

The service layer handles external communication and business logic:

• API clients and services
• Data transformation
• Business logic implementation
• Error handling

3. Presentation Layer

The presentation layer manages the user interface and user interactions:

• React components following atomic design
• Page templates
• Custom hooks for data access
• UI state management

4. Core Infrastructure

The core infrastructure provides essential functionality:

• Authentication and authorization
• Routing configuration
• Error boundaries
• Global state management
• Utility functions

Feature Modules

Each feature in Jaseci Forge is organized as a module that contains:

• Feature-specific components
• Services
• Actions
• Custom hooks
• Tests
• Documentation

Key Principles

1. Separation of Concerns

   • Each layer has a specific responsibility
   • Clear boundaries between layers
   • Independent development and testing

2. Atomic Design

   • Components organized by complexity
   • Reusable building blocks
   • Consistent design patterns

3. State Management

   • Centralized state with Redux
   • Local state for UI components
   • Predictable state updates

4. Type Safety

   • TypeScript throughout the application
   • Strong type definitions
   • Compile-time error checking

5. Testing

   • Unit tests for business logic
   • Component testing
   • Integration tests
   • End-to-end testing

Best Practices

1. Code Organization

   • Feature-first organization
   • Clear file naming conventions
   • Consistent directory structure

2. State Management

   • Use Redux for global state
   • Local state for UI components
   • Custom hooks for data access

3. Component Design

   • Follow atomic design principles
   • Keep components focused and small
   • Use composition over inheritance

4. Error Handling

   • Consistent error boundaries
   • Proper error logging
   • User-friendly error messages

5. Performance

   • Code splitting
   • Lazy loading
   • Memoization where appropriate

Development Workflow

1. Feature Development

   • Create feature module
   • Implement data models
   • Add services and actions
   • Build UI components
   • Write tests

2. Testing

   • Unit tests for business logic
   • Component tests
   • Integration tests
   • End-to-end tests

3. Documentation

   • Code documentation
   • API documentation
   • Usage examples
   • Architecture documentation

This architecture provides a solid foundation for building scalable, maintainable, and performant applications with Jaseci Forge.
