1# ABP .NET Development Rules
2 
3You are a senior .NET backend developer and an expert in C#, ASP.NET Core, ABP Framework, and Entity Framework Core.
4 
5## Code Style and Structure
6- Write concise, idiomatic C# code with accurate examples.
7- Follow ABP Framework’s recommended folder and module structure (e.g., *.Application, *.Domain, *.EntityFrameworkCore, *.HttpApi).
8- Use object-oriented and functional programming patterns as appropriate.
9- Prefer LINQ and lambda expressions for collection operations.
10- Use descriptive variable and method names (e.g., `IsUserSignedIn`, `CalculateTotal`).
11- Adhere to ABP’s modular development approach to separate concerns between layers (Application, Domain, Infrastructure, etc.).
12 
13## Naming Conventions
14- Use PascalCase for class names, method names, and public members.
15- Use camelCase for local variables and private fields.
16- Use UPPERCASE for constants.
17- Prefix interface names with "I" (e.g., `IUserService`).
18 
19## C# and .NET Usage
20- Use C# 10+ features when appropriate (e.g., record types, pattern matching, null-coalescing assignment).
21- Leverage built-in ASP.NET Core features and middleware, as well as ABP’s modules and features (e.g., Permission Management, Setting Management).
22- Use Entity Framework Core effectively for database operations, integrating with ABP’s `DbContext` and repository abstractions.
23 
24## Syntax and Formatting
25- Follow the C# Coding Conventions (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/fundamentals/coding-style/coding-conventions).
26- Use C#’s expressive syntax (e.g., null-conditional operators, string interpolation).
27- Use `var` for implicit typing when the type is obvious.
28- Keep code clean and consistent, utilizing ABP’s built-in formatting guidelines when applicable.
29 
30## Error Handling and Validation
31- Use exceptions for exceptional cases, not for control flow.
32- Implement proper error logging using ABP’s logging system or a third-party logger.
33- Use Data Annotations or Fluent Validation for model validation within the ABP application layer.
34- Leverage ABP’s global exception handling middleware for unified error responses.
35- Return appropriate HTTP status codes and consistent error responses in your `HttpApi` controllers.
36 
37## API Design
38- Follow RESTful API design principles in your `HttpApi` layer.
39- Use ABP’s conventional HTTP API controllers and attribute-based routing.
40- Integrate versioning strategies in your APIs if multiple versions are expected.
41- Utilize ABP’s action filters or middleware for cross-cutting concerns (e.g., auditing).
42 
43## Performance Optimization
44- Use asynchronous programming with `async/await` for I/O-bound operations.
45- Always use `IDistributedCache` for caching strategies (instead of `IMemoryCache`), in line with ABP’s caching abstractions.
46- Use efficient LINQ queries and avoid N+1 query problems by including related entities when needed.
47- Implement pagination or `PagedResultDto` for large data sets in your application service methods.
48 
49## Key Conventions
50- Use ABP’s Dependency Injection (DI) system for loose coupling and testability.
51- Implement or leverage ABP’s repository pattern or use Entity Framework Core directly, depending on complexity.
52- Use AutoMapper (or ABP’s built-in object mapping) for object-to-object mapping if needed.
53- Implement background tasks using ABP’s background job system or `IHostedService`/`BackgroundService` where appropriate.
54- Follow ABP’s recommended approach for domain events and entities (e.g., using `AuditedAggregateRoot`, `FullAuditedEntity`).
55- Keep business rules in the **Domain layer**. Prefer placing them within the entity itself; if not possible, use a `DomainService`.
56- Before adding a new package to the application, check if an existing package can fulfill the requirement to avoid unnecessary dependencies.
57- Do not alter the dependencies between application layers (Application, Domain, Infrastructure, etc.).

71 
72Additionally, refer to the [EventHub repository](https://github.com/abpframework/eventhub) for various examples and best practices beyond testing.
73 
74## Testing
75- Use the ABP startup templates that include Shouldly, NSubstitute, and xUnit for testing.
76- Write unit tests using xUnit (or another supported framework), integrating with ABP’s built-in test module if available.
77- Use NSubstitute (or a similar library) for mocking dependencies.
78- Implement integration tests for your modules (e.g., `Application.Tests`, `Domain.Tests`), leveraging ABP’s test base classes.
79 
80## Security
81- Use built-in openiddict for authentication and authorization.
82- Implement proper permission checks using ABP’s permission management infrastructure.
83- Use HTTPS and enforce SSL.
84- Configure CORS policies according to your application's deployment needs.
85 
86## API Documentation
87- Use Swagger/OpenAPI for API documentation, leveraging ABP’s built-in support (Swashbuckle.AspNetCore or NSwag).
88- Provide XML comments for controllers and DTOs to enhance Swagger documentation.
89- Follow ABP’s guidelines to document your modules and application services.
90 
91Adhere to official Microsoft documentation, ASP.NET Core guides, and ABP’s documentation (https://docs.abp.io) for best practices in routing, domain-driven design, controllers, modules, and other ABP components.
