-
Job.zod.ts: Complete job management schema with:
- Core
JobSchemafor runtime validation JobCreateSchema,JobUpdateSchemafor operationsJobQuerySchemafor filtering and search- Type guards:
isCompletedJob,isRunningJob,isQueuedJob - Full TypeScript type exports
- Core
-
Vocabulary.zod.ts: Comprehensive vocabulary management with:
VocabularySchemawith multilingual supportVocabularyTermSchemafor individual terms- Import/export operation schemas
- Status management and Google Sheets integration
- Type guards for status checking
- SupabaseJobsClient: Production-ready client wrapper with:
- Runtime validation on all operations
- Comprehensive error handling
- Proper TypeScript typing throughout
- Query building with validation
- Factory functions for different environments
- jobs.json: Realistic fixture data with:
- Multiple job types and statuses
- Real-world metadata examples
- Edge cases for testing
- Schema-compliant data structure
- generate-types.ts: OpenAPI → TypeScript generator with:
- Auto-discovery of OpenAPI specifications
- Integration with existing build system
- Placeholder structure for future implementation
- CLI interface with proper argument handling
- Workspace integration: All new packages properly configured for pnpm workspace
- Build configuration: tsup-based builds for TypeScript packages
- Export maps: Proper package exports for tree-shaking
- Dependency management: Workspace references between packages
- No breaking changes to existing
apps/admin/,packages/theme/,standards/ - Additive approach - enhances without disrupting current functionality
- Preserves existing workflows and development patterns
- Mock-first development - fixtures support MSW integration
- Type-safety first - Zod validation at all boundaries
- Provider pattern - client wrappers integrate with Refine.dev
- Environment-based switching - clients support mock vs live data
- Service adapters can import from
@ifla/clients - Schemas available via
@ifla/contracts/schemas - Fixtures available for MSW handlers
- Type generation ready for future OpenAPI specs
// apps/admin/src/lib/clients/jobs.ts
import { SupabaseJobsClient } from '@ifla/clients/ts/supabase/jobs.client';
// apps/admin/src/providers/dataProvider.ts
import { Job, JobCreate } from '@ifla/contracts/schemas/Job.zod';// apps/admin/src/mocks/handlers.ts
import { jobs } from '@ifla/fixtures/jobs';
import { JobSchema } from '@ifla/contracts/schemas/Job.zod';- Add external API specifications to
packages/contracts/openapi/ - Generate types with
pnpm generate:types - Integrate generated types with existing Zod schemas
- Single source of truth for all data shapes
- Runtime validation prevents data corruption
- Type safety from database to UI components
- Auto-completion for all data operations
- Compile-time error detection
- Clear separation of concerns
- Consistent fixture data across tests
- Schema-validated mocks
- Type-safe test assertions
- Easy to add new resources and schemas
- Centralized client management
- Modular package structure
- ✅ Zero disruption to existing development workflows
- ✅ Backward compatible with all existing code
- ✅ Gradual adoption - can integrate incrementally
- ✅ Easy rollback - purely additive changes
The foundation is now in place for contract-first, type-safe development across the entire IFLA Standards Platform. The next phases will integrate these patterns into the existing admin portal and documentation sites.
