## Usage Patterns

### 1. Component Type Definitions

Component types are the core building block. All components must adhere to `ComponentDefinition` interface:

```typescript
// From builder-types.ts
interface ComponentDefinition {
  id: string;
  type: ComponentType;
  props: Record<string, unknown>;
  children?: ComponentInstance[];
}
```

### 2. User Role System

The system uses a 5-level hierarchy for user roles:

```typescript
type UserRole = 'public' | 'user' | 'admin' | 'god' | 'supergod'
```

**Application Levels** correspond to access tiers:
```typescript
type AppLevel = 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5
```

### 3. Operation Types

Database operations are strictly typed:

```typescript
type OperationType = 'CREATE' | 'READ' | 'UPDATE' | 'DELETE'
```

### 4. Workflow Definitions

Workflows use a node-edge graph model:

```typescript
interface WorkflowNode {
  id: string;
  type: string;
  data: unknown;
}

interface WorkflowEdge {
  from: string;
  to: string;
  label?: string;
}

interface Workflow {
  id: string;
  nodes: WorkflowNode[];
  edges: WorkflowEdge[];
}
```

## Best Practices for New Types

### 1. Naming Conventions

- **Interfaces**: PascalCase, descriptive names
  ```typescript
  interface ComponentDefinition { }
  interface UserCredentials { }
  ```

- **Type Aliases**: PascalCase for union types
  ```typescript
  type UserRole = 'admin' | 'user' | 'public'
  type AppLevel = 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5
  ```

### 2. Documentation Requirements

When adding new types:

1. Add JSDoc comment above type definition:
   ```typescript
   /**
    * Defines a component instance at runtime
    * @interface ComponentInstance
    * @property {string} id - Unique component identifier
    * @property {ComponentType} type - Component type
    * @property {Record<string, unknown>} props - Component properties
    */
   interface ComponentInstance {
     id: string;
     type: ComponentType;
     props: Record<string, unknown>;
   }
   ```

2. Create corresponding documentation file in `/docs/src/lib/`

3. Update this TYPE_DEFINITIONS.md file

4. Add entry to FUNCTION_MAPPING.md

### 3. Export Requirements

All type definitions must be exported:

```typescript
// ✓ Correct
export interface ComponentDefinition { }
export type UserRole = 'admin' | 'user'

// ✗ Wrong (not exported)
interface ComponentDefinition { }
```

### 4. Organization

Group related types in the same file:

- Component types → `builder-types.ts`
- Authentication types → `auth.ts`
- Database types → `database.ts`
- Workflow types → `workflow-engine.ts`
- Utility types → `schema-types.ts`

## Cross-References

- **Function Mapping**: See [FUNCTION_MAPPING.md](./FUNCTION_MAPPING.md) for 1:1 function-to-docs mapping
- **Library Documentation**: See [README.md](./README.md) for library overview
- **Builder Types**: See [builder-types.md](./builder-types.md) for component system types
- **Type System**: See [level-types.md](./level-types.md) for user roles and app levels
- **Database**: See [database.md](./database.md) for database-related types

## Type Verification Tools

Several tools verify type definition coverage:

### Extract Type Definitions
```bash
/tmp/extract_type_definitions.sh
```
Extracts all type definitions and creates type mapping documentation.

### Check Type Coverage
```bash
/tmp/type_coverage_checker.sh [summary|detail|verbose]
```
Verifies type documentation coverage:
- `summary`: Overall statistics
- `detail`: File-by-file breakdown
- `verbose`: Individual type definitions

---

## Maintenance Guidelines

### When Adding a New Type:

1. ✓ Create in appropriate `.ts` file under `/src/lib/` or `/src/types/`
2. ✓ Add `export` keyword
3. ✓ Document with JSDoc comments
4. ✓ Update relevant `.md` file in `/docs/src/lib/`
5. ✓ Update this TYPE_DEFINITIONS.md
6. ✓ Update FUNCTION_MAPPING.md
7. ✓ Run verification: `npm run lint`

### When Modifying a Type:

1. ✓ Update JSDoc comments
2. ✓ Update corresponding `.md` documentation file
3. ✓ Update examples if affected
4. ✓ Run tests: `npm run test:e2e`

### When Removing a Type:

1. ✓ Check all usages: `grep -r "TypeName" src/`
2. ✓ Update dependent code
3. ✓ Remove from documentation
4. ✓ Run tests: `npm run test:e2e`
