Best Practices

🚧 Under Construction: This section is being developed. Check back later for comprehensive best practices and recommended patterns.

This page will provide best practices for using ion effectively.

Coming Soon

This section will include:

Code Organization - Structuring your projects
Error Handling - Proper error handling patterns
Testing Strategies - Unit testing, integration testing, and mocking
Documentation - Documenting your code effectively
Security - Security considerations and best practices
Dependency Management - Managing dependencies responsibly
API Design - Designing clean and maintainable APIs
Versioning - Semantic versioning and compatibility

General Best Practices

While we develop this section, here are some fundamental guidelines:

1. Error Handling

Always handle errors explicitly:

result, err := someFunction()
if err != nil {
    return fmt.Errorf("operation failed: %w", err)
}

2. Use Context

Pass context.Context for cancellation and timeouts:

ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 10*time.Second)
defer cancel()

result, err := doSomethingWithContext(ctx)

3. Close Resources

Always close resources when done:

file, err := os.Open("file.txt")
if err != nil {
    return err
}
defer file.Close()

4. Test Your Code

Write comprehensive tests:

func TestMyFunction(t *testing.T) {
    result := MyFunction()
    if result != expected {
        t.Errorf("got %v, want %v", result, expected)
    }
}

5. Document Public APIs

Add documentation comments to exported functions and types:

// ProcessData processes the input data and returns the result.
// It returns an error if the data is invalid.
func ProcessData(data []byte) (Result, error) {
    // implementation
}

Code Style

Follow standard Go conventions:

Run gofmt on your code
Use golint and go vet
Follow the Go Code Review Comments
