Cursor Reference Architecture

# SaaS Dashboard Application

Stack: Next.js 15 (App Router), TypeScript 5.7, PostgreSQL 16, Prisma 6
Auth: NextAuth.js v5 with GitHub OAuth
Styling: Tailwind CSS 4
Testing: Vitest + Playwright
Package manager: pnpm

## Architecture Decisions
- Server Components by default, "use client" only when needed
- Repository pattern for database access
- Zod schemas for all external input validation
- Result types for error handling (never throw from services)

# .cursor/rules/security.mdc
---
description: "Security constraints for all AI-generated code"
globs: ""
alwaysApply: true
---
# Security Requirements
- NEVER hardcode secrets, API keys, or passwords
- ALWAYS use parameterized queries (no string interpolation in SQL)
- ALWAYS validate and sanitize user input with Zod
- NEVER disable CORS, CSRF protection, or TLS verification
- Use httpOnly, secure, sameSite cookies for auth tokens
- Rate limit all public API endpoints

# .cursor/rules/react-components.mdc
---
description: "React component patterns"
globs: "src/components/**/*.tsx,app/**/*.tsx"
alwaysApply: false
---
# Component Standards
- Named exports only (no default exports)
- Props interface: {ComponentName}Props
- Use forwardRef for interactive components
- Colocate tests: Component.test.tsx next to Component.tsx
- Loading states: use Suspense boundaries, not conditional rendering

# .cursor/rules/api-routes.mdc
---
description: "API route handler patterns"
globs: "app/api/**/*.ts,src/api/**/*.ts"
alwaysApply: false
---
# API Route Standards
- All handlers wrapped in withAuth() middleware
- Input validation with Zod (parse body, params, query)
- Response shape: { data: T } or { error: string, code: string }
- HTTP status codes: 200 OK, 201 Created, 400 Bad Request, 401, 403, 404, 500
- Structured logging with requestId for traceability

# .cursor/rules/database.mdc
---
description: "Database access patterns"
globs: "src/db/**/*.ts,src/repositories/**/*.ts,prisma/**"
alwaysApply: false
---
# Database Conventions
- All queries via repository classes (never raw Prisma in API routes)
- Use transactions for multi-table writes
- Always include select/include to avoid over-fetching
- Pagination: cursor-based for lists, offset for admin tools
- Soft delete: use deletedAt timestamp, never hard delete user data

# .cursor/rules/deployment.mdc
---
description: "Deployment and infrastructure patterns"
globs: ""
alwaysApply: false
---
# Deployment
- Vercel for frontend, Railway for API
- Environment variables managed in Vercel/Railway dashboards
- Database migrations: `prisma migrate deploy` in CI
- Feature flags via LaunchDarkly

# Import Conventions
- Import shared types: import { User } from '@myorg/shared'
- Import UI components: import { Button } from '@myorg/ui'
- NEVER use relative paths across package boundaries
- Each package has its own tsconfig.json extending root
