Design Patterns & Best Practices

This section documents reusable patterns and best practices discovered and implemented in the LyfeAI Provider project.

Component Patterns​

Server Actions Pattern​

All data mutations go through server actions for:

  • Type safety
  • Validation
  • Authorization
  • Database transactions

Loading States​

Consistent loading patterns using:

  • Suspense boundaries
  • Loading skeletons
  • Progressive enhancement

Data Patterns​

FHIR Data Transformation​

  • Parse FHIR bundles into normalized structures
  • Extract relevant data for UI consumption
  • Maintain FHIR compliance for interoperability

AI Integration​

  • Structured prompts for consistent outputs
  • Fallback mechanisms for API failures
  • Response validation and sanitization

Security Patterns​

Row Level Security (RLS)​

  • User-based data isolation
  • Role-based permissions
  • Audit trails for all operations

Additional Patterns​

More patterns will be documented as they emerge during development.
