Best Practices Overview

To keep code consistent, maintainable, and scalable—and to give both developers and AI-assisted tools clear guidance for faster onboarding—this section summarizes the best practices for the Perigon project. Use the links below to quickly find what you need:

• Development-Conventions: Project settings, entity modeling rules, naming, and API style to keep the fundamentals aligned.
• Constants-Definition: How to organize shared and module-specific constants, plus ways to extend AppConst safely.
• Database: Recommendations on database choices, schema design, migrations, and working with multiple databases.
• Manager-Business-Logic: The role of Managers, how to use the base classes, and patterns to avoid code bloat.
• Controller-APIs: What controllers should and should not do, with emphasis on HTTP semantics and error handling.
