Five explicit review points, addressed on this same PR branch (not a new
PR) per updated preference.
## No .d.ts files in the codebase
- apps/web: vite-env.d.ts removed — its /// <reference types="vite/client" />
is replaced by "types": ["vite/client"] in tsconfig.app.json, same effect.
- apps/api: src/types/express.d.ts renamed to express-request.augment.ts —
`declare global` module augmentation works identically in a plain .ts
file as long as it has a top-level import (making it a module); the
.d.ts extension wasn't doing anything for us here.
## packages/express-tools — separate package for Express tooling
Moved HttpError and ErrorHandlerService out of apps/api into a new
workspace package, plus a new createErrorMiddleware() factory (the actual
Express 4-arg error-handling middleware, previously inlined in app.ts).
apps/api now just consumes @batch-cooking/express-tools. Has a real build
(tsc -> dist/, same pattern as packages/shared) — required for the same
reason shared needed one: apps/api's Docker image runs plain `node
dist/server.js`, no tsx. apps/api/Dockerfile updated to COPY the new
package's dist alongside shared's.
## faker.js for test fixtures
apps/api/test/auth.test.ts: replaced the hardcoded "Nicolas
Lefevre"/nicolas@example.com fixture (looked like real user data) with
@faker-js/faker, generated fresh per test via buildSignupPayload().
features/step-definitions/auth.steps.ts: fakerized the filler
firstName/lastName/password used for background state the scenarios
don't actually read.
Deliberately did NOT fakerize the literal example values inside
auth.feature itself (alice@example.com etc.) — those are the readable,
illustrative Gherkin examples that are the whole point of BDD scenarios,
not real PII, and randomizing them would make the scenarios harder to
read for no real gain. Flagged this reasoning in the README in case that
call should go the other way.
Caught a real bug while wiring this up: faker.internet.email() sometimes
capitalizes parts of the address, but signupSchema/loginSchema normalize
emails to lowercase — the test fixture needs to match what's actually
stored, so buildSignupPayload() lowercases the generated email too.
Found by actually running the suite repeatedly, not just once.
## ErrorCode: numeric enum, zero hardcoded values
packages/shared/src/errors/error-codes.ts: ErrorCode is now a numeric
enum (4000 VALIDATION_ERROR, 4001 EMAIL_ALREADY_IN_USE, 4010
INVALID_CREDENTIALS, 4011 NOT_AUTHENTICATED, 4040 NOT_FOUND, 5000
INTERNAL_ERROR — grouped by family like HTTP status codes).
Audited and fixed every place that hardcoded a raw code value instead of
referencing the enum: ApiClient's fallback (`"INTERNAL_ERROR" as
ErrorCode` — would no longer even type-check once the enum went numeric,
which is exactly the point), and the Cypress mock bodies (now import
ErrorCode from @batch-cooking/shared instead of typing the string).
Cucumber's "the response error code should be {string}" step still takes
the *name* in the .feature file (readable: "EMAIL_ALREADY_IN_USE") and
resolves it to the real numeric value via ErrorCode[name] — TypeScript's
reverse enum mapping — before comparing, so the Gherkin stays readable
without the step hardcoding a number either.
## Real i18n library (i18next), not a hand-rolled label map
apps/web: added i18next + react-i18next. New locales/fr/translation.json
holds every user-facing string — not just error labels (errors.*), but
the login/signup/home pages' labels, buttons and headings too
(auth.login.*, auth.signup.*, home.*) — via useTranslation()/t() in each
page. ErrorMessageService no longer owns its own label map; it converts
the numeric ErrorCode to its enum member name and delegates the actual
lookup to i18next (errors.<MEMBER_NAME>). Adding a language is now
"add a locale file", not a code change anywhere.
## specs/ and README updated
specs/error-handling.md and specs/frontend-architecture.md rewritten for
the new package, numeric codes, and i18next. New "i18n" and "no .d.ts"
sections. README covers the same, plus a note on the faker.js scope
decision (feature-file literals excluded, on purpose).
## Verification
Full lint/mocha (x3 runs)/cucumber/build green. Re-verified
express-tools' extraction against a real risk (not just tsc passing):
ran `node dist/server.js` standalone (mirrors the Docker runtime, no
tsx) and hit /health, a 404 (confirmed numeric code 4040 over the wire),
and a real signup + duplicate-email 409 (confirmed numeric 4001). Then
re-verified the full pipeline in a real browser against native dev
servers: signup, EMAIL_ALREADY_IN_USE -> i18next -> "Cet email est déjà
utilisé" end-to-end, home page i18next interpolation
({{firstName}}/{{lastName}}) rendering correctly.
* Scaffold generic pnpm monorepo (api + web + shared)
Sets up the initial project infrastructure only, no business modules yet:
- apps/api: Express/TypeScript backend skeleton (healthcheck route, zod-validated
env config, error handling, Prisma initialized with no models yet, Postgres
as the target DB)
- apps/web: React/Vite/TypeScript frontend skeleton, Capacitor-ready for the
future mobile app
- packages/shared: empty placeholder for types/schemas shared between api and
web once the data model is defined
- Tooling: Biome (lint/format), Mocha+Chai+Supertest (api tests), Cypress
(web e2e smoke test), GitHub Actions CI (lint + test + build + e2e)
- docker-compose.yml for local Postgres
- README documents setup steps, including the Cypress binary caveat (pnpm
install doesn't always fetch the native binary — needs `cypress install`
run locally per machine)
Fixes along the way:
- apps/web/cypress.config.ts: disable GPU on browser launch for
headless/sandboxed environments
- apps/web/tsconfig.*: split into solution/app/node tsconfig files (standard
Vite pattern) — the previous single-file setup caused `tsc -b` to emit
compiled .js/.d.ts next to vite.config.ts and cypress.config.ts
* Remove hardcoded credentials from committed env/compose files
.env.example and apps/api/.env.example had a real usable default
credential pair (batchcooking/batchcooking) baked in, and
docker-compose.yml fell back to the same values via ${VAR:-default}
if .env was missing. Neither should ship a working credential:
- .env.example / apps/api/.env.example now use "changeme" placeholders
that must be edited before use.
- docker-compose.yml uses ${VAR:?...} instead of ${VAR:-default} for
POSTGRES_USER/PASSWORD/DB, so compose fails loudly if .env isn't set
up rather than silently falling back to a guessable credential.
Healthcheck reads the container's own env var ($$POSTGRES_USER)
instead of duplicating the value in the compose file.
- README updated to say .env.example must be edited, not just copied.
Verified: `docker compose config` fails with a clear message when
.env is absent, and resolves correctly once .env is filled in.
* Fix CI: remove pnpm version conflict with packageManager field
pnpm/action-setup@v4 errored with "Multiple versions of pnpm
specified" because the workflow pinned version: 10 while
package.json's packageManager field pins pnpm@10.12.4. The action
already reads packageManager automatically, so drop the redundant
version input.
* Fix CI: install Cypress binary explicitly before running e2e
Same root cause as the README caveat: pnpm install doesn't reliably
trigger Cypress's postinstall binary download, so `cypress run` failed
in CI with "The cypress npm package is installed, but the Cypress
binary is missing." Add an explicit `cypress install` step, and cache
~/.cache/Cypress keyed on the lockfile so subsequent runs don't
re-download it.
* Fix Cypress config loading: give the solution tsconfig a module system
apps/web/tsconfig.json (the tsc -b "solution" file) had no
compilerOptions, only files/references. Cypress's bundled ts-node
picks the nearest tsconfig.json to transpile cypress.config.ts, and
with no "module" specified it defaulted to CommonJS while
package.json declares "type": "module" — causing:
ReferenceError: exports is not defined in ES module scope
Adding module/moduleResolution to the solution config (harmless for
tsc -b itself, since it only builds the referenced projects) fixes
the mismatch. This regressed after the earlier fix for the stray
vite.config.js emission and was never re-verified against Cypress
until CI caught it.
