- Documentation: Comprehensive docs help adoption
- Backward Compatibility: Smooth migration path for existing code
Challenges Overcome 🎯#
- OR WHERE Clauses: Fixed to properly handle OR conditions in WHERE
- Parameter Ordering: Ensured consistent parameter naming
- Null Handling: Proper handling of optional fields in entities
- Type Safety: Balanced type safety with flexibility
Best Practices Established 📚#
- Always use parameterized queries
- Test SQL generation without database
- Document with examples
- Maintain backward compatibility
- Use specific column selection
- Always paginate large results
- Use transactions for related operations
Team Notes#
For Backend Developers#
- Start using
DatabaseManagersfor new features - Migrate existing code gradually
- Refer to
EXAMPLES.mdfor patterns - Run tests before committing:
dart test
For API Developers#
- Use entity models in API responses
- Leverage query builder for complex filtering
- Use pagination for list endpoints
- Add proper error handling
For DevOps#
- Tests run in CI/CD without database
- Coverage reports in
coverage/directory - No additional infrastructure needed for tests
Maintenance Checklist#
Weekly#
- Review test coverage
- Check for deprecation warnings
- Update documentation if needed
Monthly#
- Review performance metrics
- Update dependencies
- Check for security updates
Quarterly#
