Project Architecture

OnMart follows a modular architecture with clear separation of concerns:

Architecture Layers

┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│         Presentation Layer          │
│    (Pages, Components, Styles)      │
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│         Business Logic Layer        │
│    (HOF, Hooks, Custom Logic)       │
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│         State Management            │
│    (Redux, Context, Persistence)    │
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│         Service Layer               │
│    (API Services, GraphQL)          │
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│         Data Layer                  │
│    (REST API, GraphQL, WebSocket)   │
└─────────────────────────────────────┘

Design Patterns

  1. Atomic Design: Component library organized as Atoms → Molecules → Organisms
  2. Higher-Order Functions (HOF): Business logic separated from UI components
  3. Service Layer Pattern: Centralized API calls in service modules
  4. Container/Presentational Pattern: Separation of data handling and UI rendering

Key Directories Explained

/src/api/services/

Contains service modules for API integration:

  • auth-service.ts - Authentication endpoints
  • product-service.ts - Product operations
  • cart-service.ts - Shopping cart operations
  • checkout-service.ts - Checkout process
  • order-service.ts - Order management
  • profile-services.ts - User profile operations
  • wishlist-service.ts - Wishlist operations
  • affiliate-service.ts - Affiliate program operations
  • chat-service.ts - Chat functionality

/src/components/

Follows Atomic Design methodology:

  • Atoms: Button, Card, Container, TextInput, DatePicker, Dropdown, SkeletonLoader
  • Molecules: BackButton, CartButton, Badge, Rating, SearchButton, PageInfo
  • Organisms: Complex multi-component structures

/src/pages/

Each page represents a screen in the app:

  • Structure: page-name/page-name.tsx (UI) + page-name-hof.ts (logic)
  • Components specific to a page are in page-name/components/
  • Styles are in page-name/style.ts

/src/store/

Redux store configuration:

  • actions: Action creators and action types
  • reducers: State reducers (login, user, profile, counter, affiliate)
  • Integrated with Redux Persist for state persistence

Development Guidelines

Code Organization

  1. Page Structure

    page-name/
├── page-name.tsx          # UI component
├── page-name-hof.ts       # Business logic (Higher-Order Function)
├── style.ts               # Styles
└── components/            # Page-specific components
    ├── component-a.tsx
    └── component-b.tsx

  2. Component Structure

    import React from 'react';
import { View, Text } from 'react-native';

interface ComponentProps {
  // Props definition
}

const Component: React.FC<ComponentProps> = (props) => {
  // Component logic
  return (
    <View>
      {/* JSX */}
    </View>
  );
};

export default Component;

  3. HOF Pattern

    const usePageHOF = () => {
  // State management
  // Business logic
  // API calls

  return {
    datas: {
      // Data to expose
    },
    methods: {
      // Methods to expose
    }
  };
};

export default usePageHOF;

Naming Conventions

  • Files: kebab-case (e.g., product-detail.tsx)
  • Components: PascalCase (e.g., ProductCard)
  • Functions/Variables: camelCase (e.g., handleSubmit)
  • Constants: UPPER_SNAKE_CASE (e.g., API_BASE_URL)
  • Types/Interfaces: PascalCase (e.g., ProductType)

TypeScript Guidelines

  1. Always define types for props

    interface ButtonProps {
  title: string;
  onPress: () => void;
  disabled?: boolean;
}

  2. Use type imports

    import type { ProductType } from '../types';

  3. Avoid any type - use unknown if type is truly unknown

Styling Guidelines

  1. Use theme for consistency

    const styles = createStyles(theme);

  2. Create reusable style functions

    export const createStyles = (theme: Theme) =>
  StyleSheet.create({
    container: {
      flex: 1,
      backgroundColor: theme.colors.background,
    },
  });

  3. Responsive design: Use percentages and flex for layouts

API Integration

REST API (Axios)

Configuration

API is configured in src/api/axios-instance.ts:

  • Base URL from environment variables
  • Request/response interceptors
  • Authentication token injection

Making API Calls

Service modules in src/api/services/ provide type-safe API calls:

// Example: Product Service
import { getProductDetail } from '../api/services/product-service';

const fetchProduct = async (productId: string) => {
  try {
    const response = await getProductDetail(productId);
    // Handle response
  } catch (error) {
    // Handle error
  }
};

Available Services

  • AuthService: login, signup, logout, password reset
  • ProductService: list products, product details, search
  • CartService: add to cart, update cart, remove from cart
  • CheckoutService: create order, payment processing
  • OrderService: order history, order details, track order
  • ProfileService: get/update profile, address management
  • WishlistService: add/remove from wishlist
  • AffiliateService: affiliate operations, commission tracking
  • ChatService: send/receive messages

GraphQL (Apollo Client)

Configuration

Apollo Client is configured in the app with:

  • GraphQL endpoint
  • Authentication headers
  • File upload support (apollo-upload-client)

Queries and Mutations

Located in src/graphql/:

// Example Query
import { useQuery } from '@apollo/client';
import { GET_PRODUCTS } from '../graphql/queries';

const { data, loading, error } = useQuery(GET_PRODUCTS, {
  variables: { categoryId: '123' }
});

WebSocket (Socket.io)

Real-time features use Socket.io:

  • Chat messages
  • Order status updates
  • Notifications

State Management

Redux Store Structure

{
  login: {
    isLoggedIn: boolean,
    token: string,
    // ...
  },
  user: {
    userId: string,
    userInfo: UserType,
    // ...
  },
  profile: {
    // User profile data
  },
  counter: {
    cartCount: number,
    wishlistCount: number,
    notificationCount: number,
  },
  affiliate: {
    // Affiliate program data
  }
}

Using Redux

Accessing State

import { useSelector } from 'react-redux';

const MyComponent = () => {
  const isLoggedIn = useSelector((state: RootState) => state.login.isLoggedIn);
  const cartCount = useSelector((state: RootState) => state.counter.cartCount);
  
  // Component logic
};

Dispatching Actions

import { useDispatch } from 'react-redux';
import { setUser } from '../store/actions';

const MyComponent = () => {
  const dispatch = useDispatch();
  
  const handleLogin = (user: UserType) => {
    dispatch(setUser(user));
  };
  
  // Component logic
};

Redux Persist

State is automatically persisted to AsyncStorage. Configured in src/store/index.ts.

Context API

Used for:

  • ThemeContext: Theme management
  • PCBottomSheetProvider: Product card bottom sheet

Navigation

Navigation Structure

Root Navigator
├── Auth Stack (if not logged in)
│   ├── OnBoarding
│   ├── Login
│   ├── SignUp
│   └── ForgotPassword
└── Main App (if logged in)
    ├── Bottom Tab Navigator
    │   ├── Home Stack
    │   ├── Wishlist
    │   ├── Cart
    │   └── Profile
    └── Other Stacks
        ├── Product Detail Stack
        ├── Checkout Stack
        ├── Order Stack
        ├── Affiliate Stack
        └── Chat Stack

Navigation Types

Define navigation types in src/types/route.ts:

export type RootStackParamList = {
  Home: undefined;
  ProductDetail: { productId: string };
  // ...
};

Navigating Between Screens

import { useNavigation } from '@react-navigation/native';

const MyComponent = () => {
  const navigation = useNavigation();
  
  const goToProduct = (productId: string) => {
    navigation.navigate('ProductDetail', { productId });
  };
  
  const goBack = () => {
    navigation.goBack();
  };
};

Deep Linking

Configure deep linking in react-native.config.js and navigation configuration for handling external links.

Component Library

Atomic Design Structure

Atoms (Basic Building Blocks)

Button

import { Button } from '../../components';

<Button
  title="Submit"
  onPress={handleSubmit}
  variant="primary"
  disabled={false}
/>

Card

import { Card } from '../../components';

<Card>
  <Text>Card Content</Text>
</Card>

TextInput

import { TextInput } from '../../components';

<TextInput
  placeholder="Enter text"
  value={text}
  onChangeText={setText}
  leftIcon={<Icon />}
  rightIcon={<Icon />}
/>

ProductCard

import { ProductCard } from '../../components';

<ProductCard
  product={productData}
  onPress={handleProductPress}
  onAddToCart={handleAddToCart}
/>

SkeletonLoader

import { SkeletonLoader } from '../../components';

<SkeletonLoader width={100} height={20} borderRadius={4} />

Molecules (Composite Components)

BackButton

import { BackButton } from '../../components';

<BackButton onBackPress={handleBack} />

CartButton

import { CartButton } from '../../components';

<CartButton
  count={cartCount}
  onPress={handleCartPress}
/>

Rating

import { Rating } from '../../components';

<Rating
  rating={4.5}
  count={120}
  size="small"
/>

SearchButton

import { SearchButton } from '../../components';

<SearchButton onPress={handleSearch} />

Creating Custom Components

Follow the atomic design principle:

  1. Determine the component level (atom/molecule/organism)
  2. Create in appropriate directory
  3. Export from components/index.ts
  4. Add TypeScript types
  5. Use theme for styling

Styling and Theming

Theme Structure

Theme is defined in src/contexts/theme.tsx:

{
  colors: {
    primary: string,
    secondary: string,
    background: string,
    text: string,
    error: string,
    success: string,
    // ...
  },
  spacing: {
    small: number,
    medium: number,
    large: number,
  },
  margin: {
    small: number,
    medium: number,
    large: number,
  },
  padding: {
    small: number,
    medium: number,
    large: number,
  },
  typography: {
    fontSize: {...},
    fontWeight: {...},
  },
  // ...
}

Using Theme

import { useTheme } from '../../contexts';

const MyComponent = () => {
  const { theme } = useTheme();
  
  const styles = createStyles(theme);
  
  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      {/* Component content */}
    </View>
  );
};

const createStyles = (theme: Theme) => StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    backgroundColor: theme.colors.background,
    padding: theme.padding.medium,
  },
  text: {
    color: theme.colors.text,
    fontSize: theme.typography.fontSize.medium,
  },
});

Responsive Design

Use dimensions and flex for responsive layouts:

import { Dimensions } from 'react-native';

const { width, height } = Dimensions.get('window');

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    width: width * 0.9,
  },
});

Internationalization (i18n)

Configuration

i18n is configured using i18next and react-i18next.

Configuration: src/i18n/index.ts Translations: src/i18n/locales/en.json

Adding Translations

  1. Add keys to src/i18n/locales/en.json:

    {
  "welcome": "Welcome to OnMart",
  "login": {
    "title": "Login",
    "email": "Email Address",
    "password": "Password"
  }
}

  2. Use in components:

    import { useTranslation } from 'react-i18next';

const MyComponent = () => {
  const { t } = useTranslation();

  return (
    <Text>{t('welcome')}</Text>
    <Text>{t('login.title')}</Text>
  );
};

Adding New Languages

  1. Create new translation file: src/i18n/locales/[lang].json
  2. Import in src/i18n/index.ts
  3. Add to resources configuration

Environment Configuration

Environment Variables

Three environment files:

  • .env - Active environment (copied from .env.dev or .env.prod)
  • .env.dev - Development configuration
  • .env.prod - Production configuration

Available Variables

API_AUTH_URL=https://auth-api.example.com
API_BASE_URL=https://api.example.com
URL=https://app.example.com
MAP_KEY=YOUR_GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY
COLLECTION_BANNER=https://storage.example.com/default-banner.png

Using Environment Variables

import { API_BASE_URL, MAP_KEY } from '@env';

const apiUrl = API_BASE_URL;
const mapKey = MAP_KEY;

Switching Environments

# Switch to development
yarn dev

# Switch to production
yarn prod

Testing

Running Tests

# Run all tests
yarn test

# Run tests in watch mode
yarn test --watch

# Run tests with coverage

Writing Tests

import React from 'react';
import { render } from '@testing-library/react-native';
import MyComponent from '../MyComponent';

describe('MyComponent', () => {
  it('renders correctly', () => {
    const { getByText } = render(<MyComponent />);
    expect(getByText('Hello')).toBeTruthy();
  });
});

    • Update pod dependencies: cd ios && pod update && cd ..

Best Practices

Performance Optimization

  1. Use React.memo for pure components

    export default React.memo(MyComponent);

  2. Use useCallback for functions passed as props

    const handlePress = useCallback(() => {
  // Handler logic
}, [dependencies]);

  3. Use useMemo for expensive calculations

    const expensiveValue = useMemo(() => {
  return computeExpensiveValue(data);
}, [data]);

  4. Optimize FlatList with proper keys and props

    <FlatList
  data={items}
  keyExtractor={(item) => item.id}
  removeClippedSubviews={true}
  maxToRenderPerBatch={10}
  windowSize={10}
/>

  5. Use SkeletonLoader for loading states

Security Best Practices

  1. Never commit sensitive data

    • Use environment variables
    • Add sensitive files to .gitignore

  2. Validate user input

  3. Use HTTPS for all API calls

  4. Implement proper authentication

  5. Store tokens securely (using AsyncStorage with encryption)

Code Quality

  1. Run linter before committing

    yarn lint

  2. Follow TypeScript best practices

  3. Write meaningful commit messages

  4. Comment complex logic

  5. Keep functions small and focused

Git Workflow

  1. Create feature branches

    git checkout -b feature/my-feature

  2. Commit frequently with clear messages

    git commit -m "Add product search functionality"
