tRPC Patterns

Procedure Types

• publicProcedure - No auth required
• protectedProcedure - Requires authenticated user
• adminProcedure - Requires admin role

Router Structure (server/routers.ts)

Copyexport const appRouter = router({
  auth: router({ me, logout, emailGateLogin }),
  contacts: router({ list, get, search, create, update, delete }),
  companies: router({ ... }),
  events: router({ ... }),
  graph: router({ ... }),
  relationships: router({ ... }),
});

Input Validation

All inputs use Zod schemas:

Copy.input(z.object({
  id: z.number(),
  name: z.string().optional(),
}))

Client Usage

Copyconst { data } = trpc.contacts.list.useQuery();
const mutation = trpc.contacts.create.useMutation({
  onSuccess: () => utils.contacts.list.invalidate(),
});

Drizzle ORM Patterns

Table Definition (drizzle/schema.ts)

Copyexport const contacts = mysqlTable("contacts", {
  id: int("id").autoincrement().primaryKey(),
  name: varchar("name", { length: 255 }).notNull(),
  email: varchar("email", { length: 320 }),
  createdAt: timestamp("createdAt").defaultNow(),
});

export type Contact = typeof contacts.$inferSelect;
export type InsertContact = typeof contacts.$inferInsert;

Database Connection (server/db.ts)

Copyconst db = await getDb();
const results = await db.select().from(contacts).where(eq(contacts.id, id));

Migrations

Copynpm run db:push  # Generate and apply migrations

Authentication Flow

1. User enters email on login page
2. Backend generates JWT (15-min expiry) - server/_core/magic-link.ts
3. Email sent with magic link URL
4. Token verified -> session cookie created (30-day expiry)
5. Cookie name: app_session_id (shared/_core/const.ts)

Auth Hook: client/src/_core/hooks/useAuth.ts

Copyconst { user, isAuthenticated, logout } = useAuth();

Collaborative Contact System

Key File: server/db-collaborative.ts

Duplicate Detection (priority order)

1. Email (exact match)
2. LinkedIn URL (exact match)
3. Name + Company (exact match)

Core Function

Copyconst { contactId, isNew, matchedBy } = await createOrLinkContact(userId, contactData);

Key Conventions

• Database fields: camelCase (e.g., linkedinUrl, createdAt)
• File names: kebab-case (e.g., db-collaborative.ts)
• Functions: camelCase with verb (e.g., createContact, findDuplicates)
• No emoji in code or commits
• Error handling: tRPC errors with codes (UNAUTHORIZED, BAD_REQUEST)

Common Commands

Copynpm run dev      # Development server
npm run build    # Production build
npm run check    # TypeScript check
npm run test     # Run Vitest tests
npm run db:push  # Database migrations
