## Implementation Standards

### Code Structure
```typescript
// Example: Well-structured service class
export class UserService {
  constructor(
    private readonly userRepository: UserRepository,
    private readonly emailService: EmailService,
    private readonly logger: Logger
  ) {}

  async createUser(dto: CreateUserDto): Promise<User> {
    // Input validation
    this.validateUserDto(dto);
    
    // Check for existing user
    const existingUser = await this.userRepository.findByEmail(dto.email);
    if (existingUser) {
      throw new ConflictException('User with this email already exists');
    }
    
    // Create user with transaction
    const user = await this.userRepository.transaction(async (manager) => {
      // Hash password
      const hashedPassword = await bcrypt.hash(dto.password, 10);
      
      // Create user
      const user = await manager.create({
        ...dto,
        password: hashedPassword,
      });
      
      // Send welcome email
      await this.emailService.sendWelcomeEmail(user.email, user.name);
      
      return user;
    });
    
    this.logger.info(`User created: ${user.id}`);
    return user;
  }
  
  private validateUserDto(dto: CreateUserDto): void {
    if (!dto.email || !this.isValidEmail(dto.email)) {
      throw new ValidationException('Invalid email format');
    }
    
    if (!dto.password || dto.password.length < 8) {
      throw new ValidationException('Password must be at least 8 characters');
    }
  }
}
```

### Error Handling
```typescript
// Comprehensive error handling
export class ErrorHandler {
  static handle(error: unknown): ErrorResponse {
    // Known application errors
    if (error instanceof AppError) {
      return {
        status: error.status,
        message: error.message,
        code: error.code,
      };
    }
    
    // Database errors
    if (error instanceof DatabaseError) {
      logger.error('Database error:', error);
      return {
        status: 503,
        message: 'Service temporarily unavailable',
        code: 'DATABASE_ERROR',
      };
    }
    
    // Validation errors
    if (error instanceof ValidationError) {
      return {
        status: 400,
        message: error.message,
        code: 'VALIDATION_ERROR',
        errors: error.errors,
      };
    }
    
    // Unknown errors
    logger.error('Unexpected error:', error);
    return {
      status: 500,
      message: 'Internal server error',
      code: 'INTERNAL_ERROR',
    };
  }
}
```

### Testing Patterns
```typescript
// Comprehensive test example
describe('UserService', () => {
  let userService: UserService;
  let userRepository: MockUserRepository;
  let emailService: MockEmailService;
  
  beforeEach(() => {
    userRepository = new MockUserRepository();
    emailService = new MockEmailService();
    userService = new UserService(userRepository, emailService, logger);
  });
  
  describe('createUser', () => {
    it('should create user with valid data', async () => {
      // Arrange
      const dto: CreateUserDto = {
        email: 'test@example.com',
        password: 'SecurePass123!',
        name: 'Test User',
      };
      
      // Act
      const user = await userService.createUser(dto);
      
      // Assert
      expect(user).toBeDefined();
      expect(user.email).toBe(dto.email);
      expect(user.password).not.toBe(dto.password); // Should be hashed
      expect(emailService.sendWelcomeEmail).toHaveBeenCalledWith(
        dto.email,
        dto.name
      );
    });
    
    it('should throw ConflictException for duplicate email', async () => {
      // Arrange
      userRepository.findByEmail.mockResolvedValue(existingUser);
      
      // Act & Assert
      await expect(userService.createUser(dto))
        .rejects
        .toThrow(ConflictException);
    });
    
    it('should rollback transaction on email failure', async () => {
      // Arrange
      emailService.sendWelcomeEmail.mockRejectedValue(new Error('Email failed'));
      
      // Act & Assert
      await expect(userService.createUser(dto)).rejects.toThrow();
      expect(userRepository.create).not.toHaveBeenCalled();
    });
  });
});
```

## Frontend Implementation

### Component Development
```tsx
// Example: Well-structured React component
import { useState, useCallback, useMemo } from 'react';
import { useUser } from '@/hooks/useUser';
import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button';
import { Card } from '@/components/ui/card';
import { ErrorBoundary } from '@/components/ErrorBoundary';
import type { User } from '@/types/user';

interface UserProfileProps {
  userId: string;
  onUpdate?: (user: User) => void;
}

export function UserProfile({ userId, onUpdate }: UserProfileProps) {
  const { data: user, isLoading, error, refetch } = useUser(userId);
  const [isEditing, setIsEditing] = useState(false);
  
  const handleSave = useCallback(async (formData: FormData) => {
    try {
      const updatedUser = await updateUser(userId, formData);
      onUpdate?.(updatedUser);
      setIsEditing(false);
      await refetch();
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Failed to update user:', error);
      // Error is handled by ErrorBoundary
      throw error;
    }
  }, [userId, onUpdate, refetch]);
  
  const formattedDate = useMemo(() => {
    if (!user?.createdAt) return '';
    return new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-US', {
      dateStyle: 'medium',
      timeStyle: 'short',
    }).format(new Date(user.createdAt));
  }, [user?.createdAt]);
  
  if (isLoading) {
    return <UserProfileSkeleton />;
  }
  
  if (error) {
    return <UserProfileError error={error} onRetry={refetch} />;
  }
  
  if (!user) {
    return <EmptyState message="User not found" />;
  }
  
  return (
    <ErrorBoundary fallback={<UserProfileError />}>
      <Card className="p-6">
        <div className="flex items-center justify-between mb-4">
          <h2 className="text-2xl font-semibold">{user.name}</h2>
          <Button
            variant="outline"
            size="sm"
            onClick={() => setIsEditing(!isEditing)}
          >
            {isEditing ? 'Cancel' : 'Edit'}
          </Button>
        </div>
        
        {isEditing ? (
          <UserEditForm user={user} onSave={handleSave} />
        ) : (
          <UserDetails user={user} formattedDate={formattedDate} />
        )}
      </Card>
    </ErrorBoundary>
  );
}
```

### State Management
```typescript
// Example: Zustand store with TypeScript
import { create } from 'zustand';
import { devtools, persist } from 'zustand/middleware';
import { immer } from 'zustand/middleware/immer';

interface AppState {
  // State
  user: User | null;
  isAuthenticated: boolean;
  theme: 'light' | 'dark';
  
  // Actions
  setUser: (user: User | null) => void;
  updateUser: (updates: Partial<User>) => void;
  logout: () => void;
  toggleTheme: () => void;
}

export const useAppStore = create<AppState>()(
  devtools(
    persist(
      immer((set) => ({
        // Initial state
        user: null,
        isAuthenticated: false,
        theme: 'light',
        
        // Actions
        setUser: (user) =>
          set((state) => {
            state.user = user;
            state.isAuthenticated = !!user;
          }),
          
        updateUser: (updates) =>
          set((state) => {
            if (state.user) {
              Object.assign(state.user, updates);
            }
          }),
          
        logout: () =>
          set((state) => {
            state.user = null;
            state.isAuthenticated = false;
          }),
          
        toggleTheme: () =>
          set((state) => {
            state.theme = state.theme === 'light' ? 'dark' : 'light';
          }),
      })),
      {
        name: 'app-store',
        partialize: (state) => ({
          theme: state.theme,
        }),
      }
    )
  )
);
```

## Performance Optimization

### Backend Optimization
```typescript
// Query optimization example
export class OptimizedUserRepository {
  // Use DataLoader for N+1 query prevention
  private userLoader = new DataLoader<string, User>(
    async (ids) => {
      const users = await this.db.user.findMany({
        where: { id: { in: ids } },
      });
      
      // Map to maintain order
      const userMap = new Map(users.map((u) => [u.id, u]));
      return ids.map((id) => userMap.get(id) || null);
    },
    { cache: true }
  );
  
  // Efficient pagination with cursor
  async findPaginated(cursor?: string, limit = 20): Promise<PaginatedResult<User>> {
    const users = await this.db.user.findMany({
      take: limit + 1,
      cursor: cursor ? { id: cursor } : undefined,
      orderBy: { createdAt: 'desc' },
      select: {
        id: true,
        email: true,
        name: true,
        createdAt: true,
        // Avoid selecting heavy fields unless needed
      },
    });
    
    const hasMore = users.length > limit;
    const items = hasMore ? users.slice(0, -1) : users;
    
    return {
      items,
      nextCursor: hasMore ? items[items.length - 1].id : null,
      hasMore,
    };
  }
  
  // Use indexes effectively
  async findByEmail(email: string): Promise<User | null> {
    // Assuming email has a unique index
    return this.db.user.findUnique({
      where: { email },
    });
  }
}
```

### Frontend Optimization
```tsx
// Performance optimizations
import { lazy, Suspense, memo, useMemo, useCallback } from 'react';
import { useVirtualizer } from '@tanstack/react-virtual';

// Code splitting with lazy loading
const HeavyComponent = lazy(() => import('./HeavyComponent'));

// Memoized component
export const UserList = memo<UserListProps>(({ users, onSelect }) => {
  // Virtual scrolling for large lists
  const parentRef = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null);
  
  const virtualizer = useVirtualizer({
    count: users.length,
    getScrollElement: () => parentRef.current,
    estimateSize: () => 60,
    overscan: 5,
  });
  
  // Memoize expensive calculations
  const sortedUsers = useMemo(
    () => [...users].sort((a, b) => a.name.localeCompare(b.name)),
    [users]
  );
  
  // Stable callbacks
  const handleSelect = useCallback(
    (userId: string) => {
      const user = users.find((u) => u.id === userId);
      if (user) onSelect(user);
    },
    [users, onSelect]
  );
  
  return (
    <div ref={parentRef} className="h-[600px] overflow-auto">
      <div
        style={{
          height: `${virtualizer.getTotalSize()}px`,
          width: '100%',
          position: 'relative',
        }}
      >
        {virtualizer.getVirtualItems().map((virtualItem) => {
          const user = sortedUsers[virtualItem.index];
          return (
            <div
              key={virtualItem.key}
              style={{
                position: 'absolute',
                top: 0,
                left: 0,
                width: '100%',
                height: `${virtualItem.size}px`,
                transform: `translateY(${virtualItem.start}px)`,
              }}
            >
              <UserListItem user={user} onSelect={handleSelect} />
            </div>
          );
        })}
      </div>
    </div>
  );
});

UserList.displayName = 'UserList';
```

## Security Implementation

### Input Validation
```typescript
// Comprehensive input validation
import { z } from 'zod';

export const createUserSchema = z.object({
  email: z
    .string()
    .email('Invalid email format')
    .max(255, 'Email too long'),
  password: z
    .string()
    .min(8, 'Password must be at least 8 characters')
    .regex(/[A-Z]/, 'Password must contain uppercase letter')
    .regex(/[a-z]/, 'Password must contain lowercase letter')
    .regex(/[0-9]/, 'Password must contain number')
    .regex(/[^A-Za-z0-9]/, 'Password must contain special character'),
  name: z
    .string()
    .min(2, 'Name too short')
    .max(100, 'Name too long')
    .regex(/^[a-zA-Z\s'-]+$/, 'Invalid characters in name'),
});

// SQL injection prevention
export class SecureRepository {
  async findUsers(filters: UserFilters): Promise<User[]> {
    // Use parameterized queries
    const query = this.db
      .selectFrom('users')
      .selectAll();
    
    if (filters.email) {
      // Safe: Uses parameterized query
      query.where('email', '=', filters.email);
    }
    
    if (filters.name) {
      // Safe: Properly escaped
      query.where('name', 'like', `%${filters.name}%`);
    }
    
    return query.execute();
  }
}

// XSS prevention
export function sanitizeHtml(input: string): string {
  return DOMPurify.sanitize(input, {
    ALLOWED_TAGS: ['b', 'i', 'em', 'strong', 'a'],
    ALLOWED_ATTR: ['href'],
  });
}
```
