Practical Implementation Examples

Example 1: REST API Endpoint Implementation

Prompt Used:

Create a Node.js Express endpoint for user authentication with JWT tokens.
Requirements:
- POST /api/auth/login
- Email/password validation
- JWT token generation
- Password hashing verification
- Rate limiting
- Error handling
- Input sanitization

Generated Implementation:

const express = require('express');
const bcrypt = require('bcrypt');
const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');
const rateLimit = require('express-rate-limit');
const { body, validationResult } = require('express-validator');
const User = require('../models/User');
const router = express.Router();
// Rate limiting
const loginLimiter = rateLimit({
windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000, // 15 minutes
max: 5, // limit each IP to 5 requests per windowMs
message: 'Too many login attempts, please try again later.',
standardHeaders: true,
legacyHeaders: false,
});
// Validation middleware
const validateLogin = [
body('email')
.isEmail()
.normalizeEmail()
.withMessage('Please provide a valid email'),
body('password')
.isLength({ min: 6 })
.withMessage('Password must be at least 6 characters long'),
];
// Login endpoint
router.post('/login', loginLimiter, validateLogin, async (req, res) => {
try {
// Check validation errors
const errors = validationResult(req);
if (!errors.isEmpty()) {
return res.status(400).json({
success: false,
message: 'Validation failed',
errors: errors.array()
});
}
const { email, password } = req.body;
// Find user by email
const user = await User.findOne({ email });
if (!user) {
return res.status(401).json({
success: false,
message: 'Invalid credentials'
});
}
// Verify password
const isPasswordValid = await bcrypt.compare(password, user.password);
if (!isPasswordValid) {
return res.status(401).json({
success: false,
message: 'Invalid credentials'
});
}
// Generate JWT token
const token = jwt.sign(
{
userId: user._id,
email: user.email
},
process.env.JWT_SECRET,
{ expiresIn: '24h' }
);
// Return success response
res.status(200).json({
success: true,
message: 'Login successful',
token,
user: {
id: user._id,
email: user.email,
name: user.name
}
});
} catch (error) {
console.error('Login error:', error);
res.status(500).json({
success: false,
message: 'Internal server error'
});
}
});
module.exports = router;

Example 2: React Component with Hooks

Generated Component:

import React, { useState, useEffect, useCallback } from 'react';
import { debounce } from 'lodash';
interface SearchProps {
onSearch: (query: string) => void;
placeholder?: string;
debounceMs?: number;
className?: string;
}
interface SearchState {
query: string;
isLoading: boolean;
error: string | null;
}
const SearchComponent: React.FC<SearchProps> = ({
onSearch,
placeholder = "Search...",
debounceMs = 300,
className = ""
}) => {
const [state, setState] = useState<SearchState>({
query: '',
isLoading: false,
error: null
});
// Debounced search function
const debouncedSearch = useCallback(
debounce((searchQuery: string) => {
if (searchQuery.trim()) {
setState(prev => ({ ...prev, isLoading: true, error: null }));
try {
onSearch(searchQuery.trim());
} catch (error) {
setState(prev => ({
...prev,
error: 'Search failed. Please try again.'
}));
} finally {
setState(prev => ({ ...prev, isLoading: false }));
}
}
}, debounceMs),
[onSearch, debounceMs]
);
// Handle input change
const handleInputChange = (event: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => {
const newQuery = event.target.value;
setState(prev => ({ ...prev, query: newQuery }));
debouncedSearch(newQuery);
};
// Clear search
const handleClear = () => {
setState({ query: '', isLoading: false, error: null });
onSearch('');
};
return (
<div className={`search-component ${className}`}>
<div className="search-input-container">
<input
type="text"
value={state.query}
onChange={handleInputChange}
placeholder={placeholder}
className="search-input"
aria-label="Search input"
/>
{state.query && (
<button
onClick={handleClear}
className="clear-button"
aria-label="Clear search"
>
</button>
)}
{state.isLoading && (
<div className="loading-indicator" aria-label="Loading">
</div>
)}
</div>
{state.error && (
<div className="error-message" role="alert">
{state.error}
</div>
)}
</div>
);
};
export default SearchComponent;

Implementation Best Practices

1. Start with Interfaces

Define clear contracts before implementation:

// Define interfaces first
interface UserService {
createUser(userData: CreateUserRequest): Promise<User>;
getUserById(id: string): Promise<User | null>;
updateUser(id: string, updates: UpdateUserRequest): Promise<User>;
deleteUser(id: string): Promise<void>;
}
// Then implement
class UserServiceImpl implements UserService {
// Implementation follows interface contract
}

2. Use AI for Boilerplate

Generate repetitive code structures:

Generate a CRUD service class for [ENTITY_NAME] with:
- TypeScript interfaces
- Error handling
- Validation
- Database operations
- Logging
- Unit tests

3. Implement Error Boundaries

Create robust error handling:

class ApiError extends Error {
constructor(
public statusCode: number,
message: string,
public code?: string
) {
super(message);
this.name = 'ApiError';
}
}
const handleApiError = (error: unknown): ApiError => {
if (error instanceof ApiError) return error;
return new ApiError(
500,
'Internal server error',
'INTERNAL_ERROR'
);
};

Common Implementation Patterns

Repository Pattern Implementation

interface Repository<T> {
findById(id: string): Promise<T | null>;
findAll(filters?: any): Promise<T[]>;
create(entity: Omit<T, 'id'>): Promise<T>;
update(id: string, updates: Partial<T>): Promise<T>;
delete(id: string): Promise<void>;
}
class UserRepository implements Repository<User> {
// Implementation with database operations
}

Factory Pattern for Object Creation

interface ServiceFactory {
createUserService(): UserService;
createOrderService(): OrderService;
createPaymentService(): PaymentService;
}
class ServiceFactoryImpl implements ServiceFactory {
// Factory implementation
}
