📚 Core Concepts

🏛️ Hexagonal Architecture Layers

Ruch CLI implements a simplified hexagonal architecture specifically designed for React applications:

graph TD
    A[UI Components] --> B[Hooks]
    B --> C[Services]
    C --> D[Ports]
    D --> E[Adapters]
    E --> F[External APIs]

    G[Entities] --> C
    H[Tests] --> C
    H --> E

🎯 Architecture Principles

1. Business Logic Isolation - ALL business logic MUST be in domain services
2. No Direct Service Imports - Components ALWAYS use domain hooks
3. Cross-Domain Communication - Only via ports/adapters patterns
4. Co-Located Tests - Tests alongside implementation files
5. Dependency Inversion - High-level modules don't depend on low-level modules

🛠️ CLI Commands Reference

🏗️ Domain Management

create <domain> - Create New Domain

# Create complete domain with hexagonal structure
npx ruch create user

# Create domain without UI components
npx ruch create analytics --without-ui

# Create API-only domain
npx ruch create notification --without-ui --without-store

list - List All Domains

npx ruch list
# or
npx ruch ls

delete <domain> - Delete Domain

# Safe delete with confirmation
npx ruch delete user

# Force delete without confirmation
npx ruch delete user --force

⚙️ Service Context Management

context generate - Generate Service Context

# Generate complete service context with dependency injection
npx ruch context generate

Creates src/context/ServiceContext.tsx with:

• Service instantiation for all domains
• React Context Provider
• useServices hook
• TypeScript interfaces
• Complete test coverage

context update - Update Context

# Add missing domains to existing context
npx ruch context update

🧪 Mock Service Worker (MSW)

msw init - Initialize MSW

npx ruch msw init

Creates:

• src/mocks/browser.ts - Browser MSW setup
• src/mocks/server.ts - Node.js MSW setup
• src/setupTests.ts - Test configuration
• public/mockServiceWorker.js - Service worker

msw handlers - Generate Handlers

# Generate MSW handlers for all domains
npx ruch msw handlers

msw mocks - Generate Mock Data

# Generate realistic mock data templates
npx ruch msw mocks

msw update - Update MSW Configuration

# Update MSW for new domains
npx ruch msw update

# Update specific domain
npx ruch msw update user

🤖 AI-Powered Development

guide-ai - Generate AI Documentation ⭐ FLAGSHIP FEATURE

Transform your development workflow by teaching AI assistants to understand and respect your hexagonal architecture.

# Generate complete AI documentation
npx ruch guide-ai

# Configure specific AI tools
npx ruch guide-ai --tools cursor,copilot,windsurf,juni

# Configure single tool
npx ruch guide-ai --tools cursor

What guide-ai Creates:

Before guide-ai:

// AI generates this (WRONG)
import { UserService } from '../domains/user/services';

function MyComponent() {
  const userService = new UserService(); // ❌ Direct instantiation
  const users = userService.getUsers(); // ❌ Blocking call
  return <div>{users.map(...)}</div>;
}

After guide-ai:

// AI generates this (CORRECT)
import { useUsers } from '../domains/user/hooks';

function MyComponent() {
  const { data: users, isLoading, error } = useUsers(); // ✅ Proper hook usage

  if (isLoading) return <LoadingSpinner />;
  if (error) return <ErrorMessage error={error} />;

  return <div>{users?.map(...)}</div>;
}

🧪 Testing Strategy

Ruch CLI implements a comprehensive testing strategy across all architectural layers:

🏛️ Entity Testing (Pure)

describe('User Entity', () => {
  it('should create valid user', () => {
    const user = User.create({
      email: 'john@example.com',
      name: 'John Doe',
    });

    expect(user.id).toBeDefined();
    expect(user.email).toBe('john@example.com');
  });
});

⚙️ Service Testing (With Mock Ports)

describe('UserService', () => {
  it('should create user with valid data', async () => {
    const mockRepository = createMockUserRepository();
    const userService = new UserService(mockRepository);

    const result = await userService.createUser(userData);

    expect(result.email).toBe(userData.email);
    expect(mockRepository.save).toHaveBeenCalled();
  });
});

🔧 Adapter Testing (With MSW)

describe('UserApiAdapter', () => {
  it('should save user via API', async () => {
    server.use(
      http.post('/api/users', () => {
        return HttpResponse.json(mockUser);
      })
    );

    const result = await adapter.save(userData);
    expect(result.id).toBe('generated-id');
  });
});

⚛️ Hook Testing (With MSW)

describe('useUsers', () => {
  it('should fetch users successfully', async () => {
    const { result } = renderHook(() => useUsers(), {
      wrapper: createTestWrapper(),
    });

    await waitFor(() => {
      expect(result.current.isSuccess).toBe(true);
    });
  });
});

🎨 Component Testing (Integration)

describe('UserList', () => {
  it('should display list of users', async () => {
    render(<UserList />, { wrapper: createTestWrapper() });

    await waitFor(() => {
      expect(screen.getByText('Users')).toBeInTheDocument();
    });
  });
});

🎯 Best Practices

🏗️ Domain Design

• Keep domains focused and cohesive around business capabilities
• Avoid domain dependencies - use events for cross-domain communication
• Define clear boundaries - each domain should be independently deployable
• Use consistent naming - follow established conventions across domains

🔧 Code Organization

• Co-locate tests with implementation files
• Use barrel exports (index.ts) for clean imports
• Follow naming conventions - consistent across all domains
• Separate concerns between architectural layers

🧪 Testing Philosophy

• Test each layer in isolation with appropriate mocking strategies
• Use MSW for realistic API testing instead of basic mocks
• Write integration tests for complete user flows
• Mock external dependencies at the adapter layer

🤖 AI Development Workflow

• Always regenerate guide-ai after creating new domains
• Keep AI documentation current with architectural changes
• Use consistent patterns that AI can learn and replicate
• Leverage AI for boilerplate generation while maintaining quality

🚨 Important Considerations

MSW Customization Required

⚠️ CRITICAL: All generated MSW handlers and mock data are templates and MUST be customized for your specific API and business logic.

Recommended MSW Workflow:

1. Initialize: npx ruch msw init
2. Generate templates: npx ruch msw handlers && npx ruch msw mocks
3. 🔥 CUSTOMIZE: Adapt endpoints, authentication, validation, business data
4. Test thoroughly: Verify MSW setup with your application
5. Maintain: Use npx ruch msw update when domains change

Architecture Rules (Enforced by guide-ai)

1. Business Logic Isolation: ALL business logic MUST be in domain services
2. No Direct Service Imports: Components ALWAYS use domain hooks
3. Cross-Domain Communication: Only via ports/adapters or events
4. Co-Located Tests: Tests MUST be alongside implementation files
5. Dependency Direction: Inner layers never depend on outer layers
