Architecture Validation Scripts

This directory contains scripts for validating and enforcing architectural patterns across the codebase.

Architecture Validator

Overview

validate_architecture.py is an automated tool that checks the codebase against architectural rules defined in .architecture-rules.yaml.

Key Features

• API Endpoint Validation: Ensures proper separation of concerns, Pydantic usage, exception handling
• Service Layer Validation: Enforces domain exceptions, database session patterns
• Model Validation: Checks proper separation of SQLAlchemy and Pydantic models
• Exception Handling: Validates proper exception patterns
• JavaScript Patterns: Enforces coding standards for frontend code
• Template Validation: Ensures templates follow required patterns

Usage

# Validate entire codebase
python scripts/validate/validate_architecture.py

# Validate specific directory
python scripts/validate/validate_architecture.py app/api/

# Verbose output with code context
python scripts/validate/validate_architecture.py --verbose

# Show only errors (suppress warnings)
python scripts/validate/validate_architecture.py --errors-only

# Use custom config file
python scripts/validate/validate_architecture.py --config custom-rules.yaml

Exit Codes

• 0: Validation passed (warnings allowed)
• 1: Validation failed (errors found)

Integration with Pre-commit

Install pre-commit hooks to run validation automatically:

# Install pre-commit
pip install pre-commit

# Setup hooks
pre-commit install

# Run manually on all files
pre-commit run --all-files

# Run on staged files only
pre-commit run

Configuration

The validation rules are defined in .architecture-rules.yaml at the project root. This file contains:

• Core Principles: Separation of concerns, type safety, exception handling
• API Endpoint Rules: (API-001 through API-004)
• Service Layer Rules: (SVC-001 through SVC-004)
• Model Rules: (MDL-001 through MDL-002)
• Exception Rules: (EXC-001 through EXC-002)
• JavaScript Rules: (JS-001 through JS-003)
• Template Rules: (TPL-001)

Rule Categories

API Endpoint Rules

• API-001: Use Pydantic models for request/response
• API-002: No business logic in endpoints
• API-003: Proper exception handling (catch and convert to HTTPException)
• API-004: Authentication on protected endpoints

Service Layer Rules

• SVC-001: No HTTPException in services (use domain exceptions)
• SVC-002: Create custom exception classes (avoid generic Exception)
• SVC-003: Database session as parameter (not created internally)
• SVC-004: Use Pydantic for input validation

Model Rules

• MDL-001: Use SQLAlchemy Base for database models
• MDL-002: Separate Pydantic from SQLAlchemy models

Exception Rules

• EXC-001: Define custom exceptions in exceptions module
• EXC-002: Never use bare except

JavaScript Rules

• JS-001: Use apiClient directly (not window.apiClient)
• JS-002: Use centralized logger (not console)
• JS-003: Alpine components must spread ...data()

📊 ARCHITECTURE VALIDATION REPORT
================================================================================

Files checked: 145
Total violations: 3

❌ ERRORS (2):
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  [API-002] Endpoint must NOT contain business logic
  File: app/api/v1/admin/stores.py:45
  Issue: Database operations should be in service layer
  💡 Suggestion: Move database operations to service layer

  [SVC-001] Service must NOT raise HTTPException
  File: app/services/store_service.py:78
  Issue: Service raises HTTPException - use domain exceptions instead
  💡 Suggestion: Create custom exception class (e.g., StoreNotFoundError) and raise that

⚠️  WARNINGS (1):
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  [JS-001] Use apiClient directly
  File: static/admin/js/stores.js:23
  Issue: Use apiClient directly instead of window.apiClient
  💡 Suggestion: Replace window.apiClient with apiClient

CI/CD Integration

Add to your CI pipeline (GitHub Actions example):

# .github/workflows/ci.yml
name: CI

on: [push, pull_request]

jobs:
  validate-architecture:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3

      - name: Set up Python
        uses: actions/setup-python@v4
        with:
          python-version: '3.10'

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: |
          pip install pyyaml

      - name: Validate Architecture
        run: |
          python scripts/validate/validate_architecture.py

Documentation

• Architecture Patterns Documentation
• Architecture Rules Config

Extending the Validator

To add new rules:

1. Add rule definition to .architecture-rules.yaml
2. Implement validation logic in validate_architecture.py
3. Add examples to docs/architecture/architecture-patterns.md
4. Test with python scripts/validate/validate_architecture.py --verbose

Troubleshooting

Issue: Validator reports false positives

Solution: Add exception patterns to .architecture-rules.yaml under ignore section

Issue: Validator doesn't catch a specific violation

Solution: The rule might not be implemented yet. Check .architecture-rules.yaml and validate_architecture.py to add the rule.

Issue: Pre-commit hook fails but manual run passes

Solution: Ensure pre-commit is using the same Python environment:

pre-commit clean
pre-commit install

Contributing

When adding new architectural patterns:

1. Document the pattern in docs/architecture/architecture-patterns.md
2. Add validation rule to .architecture-rules.yaml
3. Implement validation in validate_architecture.py
4. Test thoroughly with existing codebase
5. Update this README with the new rule
