# My App Patterns

## Commit Conventions

This project uses **conventional commits**:
- `feat:` - New features
- `fix:` - Bug fixes
- `chore:` - Maintenance tasks
- `docs:` - Documentation updates

## Code Architecture
src/ ├── components/ # React components (PascalCase.tsx) ├── hooks/ # Custom hooks (use*.ts) ├── utils/ # Utility functions ├── types/ # TypeScript type definitions └── services/ # API and external services 

## Workflows

### Adding a New Component
1. Create `src/components/ComponentName.tsx`
2. Add tests in `src/components/__tests__/ComponentName.test.tsx`
3. Export from `src/components/index.ts`

## Testing Patterns

- Test files: `__tests__/` directories or `.test.ts` suffix
- Coverage target: 80%+
- Framework: Vitest
