Definitions

Extend framework interface

If you have to extends for example the IRouteData interface that is already given from the framework you can do it like this

export {IData} from '@dreipol/default-api-interfaces';

export interface IAppRouteData extends IData {
    isHeaderColorPrimary: boolean;
}

Group properties

Group properties together. Seperate primitives and non-primitives props for better readability

DO

export interface IProduct {
    name: string;
    color: string;
    abstract: string;
    
    product_image: IImage;
    product_logo: IImage;
    specs: IProductSpecs
    link: ILink;
}

DON'T

export interface IProduct {
    name: string;
    product_logo: IImage;
    specs: IProductSpecs
    color: string;
    product_image: IImage;
    abstract: string;
    link: ILink;
}

Use primitive types

DO Use primitve types like string, or number

export interface IImage {
    url: string;
    alt: string;
}

DON'T - Do not use the type String or Number

export interface IImage {
    url: String;
    alt: String;
}

What a default response should look like

Interface

{
    "data": {
        "containers": {
            "main": {
                "type": "cmp-main",
                "plugins": [...]
            }
        },
        "meta": {
            "title": "Cas Study #2",
            "description": ""
        }
    }
}
