### Key Directories Explained

- **`src/apis/`**: Contains all API method implementations (~100 files)

- **`src/models/`**: TypeScript interfaces and type definitions
  - Core data structures for messages, events, and API responses
  - Ensures type safety across the application

- **`src/Errors/`**: Custom error handling
  - `ZaloApiError.ts`: Handles API-specific errors
  - Provides consistent error handling across the library

- **`examples/`**: Usage examples and demonstrations
  - `echobot.ts`: Complete example of a Zalo bot implementation

- **`test/`**: Test suites and test assets
  - Feature tests for core functionality
  - Integration tests for API methods

### Naming Conventions

- **Files**: camelCase (e.g., `sendMessage.ts`)
- **Classes**: PascalCase (e.g., `ZaloApiError`)
- **Functions**: camelCase (e.g., `sendMessage`)
- **Constants**: UPPER_SNAKE_CASE (e.g., `API_BASE_URL`)
- **Interfaces**: PascalCase with `I` prefix (e.g., `IMessage`)

### Error Handling

```typescript
// Good
try {
  const result = await api.sendMessage(message);
  return result;
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof ZaloApiError) {
      throw error;
  }
  throw new ZaloApiError(`Failed to send message: ${error.message}`);
}

// Bad
try {
  const result = await api.sendMessage(message);
  return result;
} catch (error) {
  console.error(error);
  return null;
}
```

## Testing Guidelines

### Test Structure

```typescript
describe('API Method', () => {
  beforeEach(() => {
    // Setup
  });

  afterEach(() => {
    // Cleanup
  });

  it('should handle success case', async () => {
    // Test implementation
  });

  it('should handle error case', async () => {
    // Test error handling
  });
});
```

### Testing Best Practices

- Test both success and failure scenarios
- Mock external dependencies
- Use descriptive test names
- Keep tests independent
- Test edge cases and error conditions

### Running Tests

```bash
# Run all tests
bun run test:feat

# Run specific test
bun run test/test.ts

# Run with coverage (if available)
bun run test:coverage
```

## Documentation Guidelines

### API Documentation

- Document all public methods with JSDoc
- Include parameter types and descriptions
- Provide usage examples
- Document error conditions

```typescript
/**
 * Sends a message to a specific thread
 * @param message - The message object containing content and metadata
 * @param threadId - The ID of the thread to send the message to
 * @param threadType - The type of thread (User or Group)
 * @returns Promise<Message> - The sent message object
 * @throws {ZaloApiError} When the API request fails
 * @example
 * ```typescript
 * const message = await api.sendMessage(
 *   { msg: "Hello, world!" },
 *   "123456789",
 *   ThreadType.User
 * );
 * ```
 */
async sendMessage(message: IMessage, threadId: string, threadType: ThreadType): Promise<Message>
```

### README Updates

- Update README.md for new features
- Add examples for new APIs
- Update installation instructions if needed
- Keep the table of contents updated

## Security Guidelines

### Security Best Practices

- Never commit sensitive data (tokens, passwords, etc.)
- Use environment variables for configuration
- Validate all user inputs
- Follow the principle of least privilege
- Report security issues privately

### Security Reporting

If you discover a security vulnerability:

1. **DO NOT** create a public issue
2. Use the [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) reporting process
3. Create a private issue with `[SECURITY]` label
4. Contact team members directly for urgent issues

### Code Security

```typescript
// Good - Validate inputs
function sendMessage(content: string, threadId: string) {
  if (!content || typeof content !== 'string') {
    throw new ZaloApiError('Content must be a non-empty string');
  }
  if (!threadId || typeof threadId !== 'string') {
    throw new ZaloApiError('ThreadId must be a non-empty string');
  }
  // Implementation
}

// Bad - No validation
function sendMessage(content: any, threadId: any) {
  // Implementation without validation
}
```

## Special Considerations for zca-js

### Unofficial API Library

> [!IMPORTANT]
> ⚠️ zca-js is an unofficial API library for Zalo. Please be aware of:

- **Account Risk**: Using this API may result in account suspension
- **Terms of Service**: Respect Zalo's ToS in your contributions
- **Rate Limiting**: Be mindful of API usage limits
- **Privacy**: Protect user privacy and data

### Responsible Development

- Test changes thoroughly before submitting
- Avoid introducing features that could harm users
- Consider the impact on Zalo's infrastructure
- Document any risks or limitations
