Learn using Shoulder.dev

Shoulder.dev transforms codebases into tailored learning experiences. Below are organized categories of the codebase to help you start with your initial focus.

Client-Server Interaction

Reason: Understand how the client library communicates with the Helix Cloud backend. Focus: API endpoints used for requests (e.g., runScript) Data structures used for request/response payloads Authentication mechanisms (using API tokens) Error handling for communication failures

React Integration

Reason: Learn how the client library is designed to integrate with React applications. Focus: Component structure and lifecycle methods (e.g., AppClient component) Hooks for asynchronous operations (e.g., useCallback) Event handling and user interaction patterns Example usage within a React component

GPTScript Execution

Understand the core functionality of the library

executing scripts on Helix Cloud. Focus: The runScript method and its parameters (e.g., file_path, input) Understanding the GPTScript execution process Handling script errors and potential exceptions Potential optimizations for script execution

Data Handling and Processing

Reason: Learn how the library manages data received from the server. Focus: Data validation and parsing (e.g., converting API responses to meaningful data) Data transformation and manipulation before presentation in the React application Error handling and data integrity

Testing and Debugging

Reason: Ensure the library’s functionality and reliability through testing. Focus: Unit testing for individual functions and components Integration testing for the entire client-server workflow Testing for edge cases and potential failure scenarios Using debugging tools (e.g., browser developer tools, logging) to identify and resolve issues

CI/CD

Reason: Understand the automated build, test, and release process. Focus: GitHub Actions workflow (e.g., publish.yaml) Steps involved in building and releasing the library (e.g., compiling TypeScript, packaging) Code quality checks (e.g., linters) Automated testing and deployment

Security

Reason: Ensure the library is secure and protects sensitive information. Focus: Authentication and authorization mechanisms Input validation and sanitization Secure communication with the Helix Cloud backend Potential vulnerabilities and mitigation strategies

TypeScript and Type Safety

Reason: Learn how TypeScript is used to improve the library’s code quality and maintainability. Focus: Type definitions for data structures and function parameters Static type checking for catching errors during development Code completion and documentation features provided by TypeScript

Code Structure and Organization

Reason: Understand the overall structure and organization of the codebase. Focus: Directory structure and how different parts of the code are organized Module imports and exports Coding conventions and best practices

Documentation and Examples

Reason: Understand how to use the library effectively. Focus: API documentation (e.g., JSDoc comments) Code examples in the README.md file Additional documentation resources (e.g., blog posts, tutorials)
