Medication Blog: Implementation Guide
Hey guys! This document outlines the implementation process for our simple blog website dedicated to medications discussion. It's super important that we all follow these guidelines to ensure a smooth and successful project. Let's dive in!
Implementation Issue Overview
This issue specifically addresses the implementation phase, following the approved architecture. Think of this as your roadmap for building the actual website. We'll be converting the architectural blueprint into a functional platform. Remember, teamwork makes the dream work, so let's collaborate effectively!
Architecture Issue Reference
- Original Issue: #1
- Architecture: View architecture discussion
- Status: ✅ Approved
Keyword Alert: Approved Architecture. The approved architecture serves as the foundation for our medication blog. It's crucial to understand this architecture before diving into any coding. The link provided takes you to the initial discussions and decisions made regarding the site's structure and features. Make sure you're aligned with the approved architecture to avoid any rework down the line. This isn't just a suggestion; it's the backbone of the entire project, ensuring consistency and scalability. We don't want to build on shaky ground, do we? Understanding the approved architecture will influence your approach to coding, testing, and documentation. Furthermore, it keeps everyone on the same page, reducing the chances of misunderstandings or conflicting implementations. The approved architecture impacts everything from the database schema to the user interface design, so take the time to familiarize yourself with it thoroughly. This is essential for maintaining code quality and project coherence.
Specification Details
- Spec Sheet: docs/specs/spec-issue-1-architecture-simple-blog-website-for-medications.md
- Read the full spec sheet for implementation details and pre-implementation checklist
Keyword Alert: Specification Sheet. The specification sheet acts as our detailed instruction manual. It contains all the nitty-gritty details you'll need for the implementation process. Consider it your best friend during this phase. This document outlines everything from functional requirements to specific design choices. Before you write a single line of code, pore over this document to ensure you understand the project's scope and expectations. This isn't just a casual read; it's a mandatory step to prevent misinterpretations and ensure everyone's on the same page. The specification sheet also includes a pre-implementation checklist, which is designed to catch any potential issues before they become roadblocks. This will save us time and effort in the long run. The spec sheet will give you a step-by-step breakdown of what needs to happen, when it needs to happen, and how it needs to happen. This kind of granular detail is indispensable for consistent and efficient development. The more familiar you are with this document, the smoother the implementation will be.
Acceptance Criteria Checklist
The implementation must meet all criteria defined in the spec sheet:
- [ ] All functional requirements implemented
- [ ] Tests written (80% coverage minimum)
- [ ] Security checklist completed
- [ ] Documentation updated
- [ ] Code follows standards (PEP 8, type hints, docstrings)
- [ ] Existing code reused as specified in spec
- [ ] All dependencies documented
Keyword Alert: Acceptance Criteria. These are the benchmarks we'll use to determine whether the implementation is successful. Consider these your key performance indicators (KPIs). Meeting these criteria is not optional; it's essential for delivering a quality product. Each item on this list represents a critical aspect of the project, from functionality to security. Before you mark any of these as complete, double-check your work against the spec sheet and any relevant documentation. We're aiming for excellence here, so don't cut corners. Functional requirements ensure the blog does what it's supposed to do, while the test coverage ensures the code is robust and reliable. The security checklist ensures we're protecting user data, and the documentation keeps the project maintainable. Following coding standards like PEP 8 makes the code readable and consistent. Treat this checklist as your ultimate guide to project success.
Instructions for Coding Agents
Alright coding agents, listen up! Here's your marching orders:
Pre-Implementation Checklist (MANDATORY):
- Read the spec sheet: docs/specs/spec-issue-1-architecture-simple-blog-website-for-medications.md
- Review the "Existing Code to Reuse" section
- Check requirements.txtfor existing libraries
- Review standards: docs/standards/
- Understand dependencies and integration points
Keyword Alert: Pre-Implementation Checklist (MANDATORY). This is where the rubber meets the road. Consider this your pre-flight checklist before taking off. Every item here is non-negotiable and critical for a smooth implementation. Skimping on any of these steps is like skipping safety checks before a big trip – you're just asking for trouble. Reading the spec sheet gives you the comprehensive view, while reviewing existing code saves you from reinventing the wheel. Checking requirements.txt ensures you have all the necessary tools, and reviewing the standards keeps the codebase consistent. Understanding dependencies prevents integration headaches later on. Don't rush this; it's an investment that pays off big time. Going through these steps methodically will minimize errors and maximize efficiency. Think of it as setting the stage for a successful performance.
Implementation Process: The Nitty-Gritty
- Follow the spec's implementation checklist exactly
- Reuse existing code as specified (DO NOT duplicate)
- Write tests for all new code (80% coverage minimum)
- Follow all security requirements
- Use proper error handling and logging
- Add type hints and docstrings
Keyword Alert: Implementation Process. This is the heart of the matter. Consider this your step-by-step guide to building the blog. Each step is designed to ensure code quality, security, and maintainability. Following the spec's checklist ensures that you address all the requirements. Reusing existing code, rather than duplicating it, promotes efficiency and consistency. Writing tests is crucial for identifying and fixing bugs early. Adhering to security requirements protects the user's data. Proper error handling and logging make debugging easier. Adding type hints and docstrings improves code readability and maintainability. The whole point of this process is to streamline our workflow and get the blog up and running as smoothly as possible. Treat this as your construction manual for the blog.
When Complete: Wrapping Things Up
- Update this issue with implementation summary
- List all files created/modified
- Confirm test coverage percentage
- Confirm acceptance criteria met
Keyword Alert: When Complete. This is your post-implementation to-do list. Consider this your final sign-off before handing over the keys. It's crucial to document your work to ensure transparency and maintainability. Updating the issue with an implementation summary provides context for future developers. Listing all files created/modified makes it easier to track changes. Confirming test coverage and acceptance criteria ensures that the project meets all the requirements. This is the final layer of quality assurance. Don't skip these steps; they're essential for a successful project handover. It ensures that your work is easily understood and built upon. Think of this as signing your name to a job well done.
