Getting Started with Development

Welcome to the Employ platform developer documentation. This guide will help you understand the project structure, code organization, and best practices for working with our codebase.

Core Principles

The Employ platform follows these core principles:

1. Component-based architecture: Everything should be a component
2. Clean separation of concerns: Keep data fetching, business logic, and UI separate
3. Composables for data and shared logic: Extract reusable logic into composables
4. Type safety first: Use TypeScript interfaces across the codebase

Documentation Sections

• Code Structure Best Practices: Learn about our component architecture and coding standards
• Data Fetching Patterns: Understanding how to work with API data
• Component Design: Guidelines for creating reusable components

Key Technologies

Our platform is built on:

• Nuxt 3: For server-side rendering and routing
• Vue 3 Composition API: For component logic
• TypeScript: For type safety
• Tailwind CSS: For styling
• tRPC: For type-safe API calls

Quick Start

To start developing new features or fixing bugs, follow these steps:

1. Understand the specific module you'll be working with
2. Check existing components and composables for reusable code
3. Follow the component structure patterns in related features
4. Use the appropriate data fetching composables
5. Test your changes thoroughly
