| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Port 5000 in use | Change PORT in backend/.env |
| Port 5176 in use | Modify port in frontend/vite.config.js |
| Database connection failed | Ensure PostgreSQL is running, verify credentials |
| CORS errors | Check CLIENT_URL matches frontend URL |
| Module not found | Run npm install in respective directory |
| Login fails | Verify backend is running on correct port |

DO's ✅
- Write JSDoc comments for all functions
- Use try-catch for error handling
- Validate all inputs on backend
- Use consistent response format:
{ success: bool, message: string, data: object } - Test before committing
- Use
const/let(nevervar) - Write meaningful commit messages
DON'Ts ❌
- Never leave
console.login production - Don't ignore error handling
- Don't hardcode credentials
- Don't skip input validation
- Don't commit without testing
- Don't use
varkeyword
// Success
{
success: true,
message: "Operation successful",
data: { /* result */ }
}
// Error
{
success: false,
message: "User-friendly error message",
error: "Technical details (dev mode only)"
