6.2. Extending & Customizing

Adding New Features

  1. Custom API Endpoints

    // backend/src/api/custom/routes/custom.ts
    export default {
      routes: [
        {
          method: 'GET',
          path: '/custom',
          handler: 'custom.findAll',
          config: {
            policies: ['isAuthenticated'],
            middlewares: ['rateLimit'],
          },
        },
      ],
    };
    
  2. Frontend Features

    // frontend/src/components/custom/CustomFeature.tsx
    import { useCustomHook } from '@/hooks/useCustomHook';
    
    export const CustomFeature: React.FC = () => {
      const { data, loading } = useCustomHook();
      
      return (
        <div className="custom-feature">
          {loading ? (
            <LoadingSpinner />
          ) : (
            <FeatureContent data={data} />
          )}
        </div>
      );
    };

Integration Guidelines

  1. Service Integration

    interface ServiceIntegration {
      init(): Promise<void>;
      connect(): Promise<boolean>;
      configure(config: Config): void;
      handleWebhook(payload: any): Promise<void>;
    }
    
  2. Plugin Development

    // backend/src/plugins/custom-plugin/index.ts
    export default {
      register(strapi: Strapi) {
        strapi.customPlugin = {
          service: new CustomService(),
          controller: new CustomController(),
        };
      },
      bootstrap(strapi: Strapi) {
        // Plugin initialization
      },
    };

6.3. Troubleshooting & Debugging

Development Tools

  1. Logging System

    interface Logger {
      levels: {
        ERROR: 0;
        WARN: 1;
        INFO: 2;
        DEBUG: 3;
      };
      transports: {
        console: ConsoleTransport;
        file: FileTransport;
      };
    }
    
  2. Debugging Commands

    # Frontend debugging
    yarn dev:debug
    
    # Backend debugging
    yarn develop:debug
    
    # Docker debugging
    docker-compose logs -f [service]
    

Common Issues & Solutions

  1. Docker Issues

    # Reset Docker environment
    docker-compose down -v
    docker system prune -f
    docker-compose up -d
    
    # Check container health
    docker ps --format "table {{.Names}}\t{{.Status}}"
    
  2. Database Connection

    interface DatabaseTroubleshooting {
      checkConnection(): Promise<boolean>;
      validateSchema(): Promise<ValidationResult>;
      repairTables(): Promise<void>;
    }
    
  3. Memory Issues

    # Check memory usage
    docker stats
    
    # Optimize Node.js memory
    export NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=4096"

Performance Profiling

  1. Frontend Profiling

    interface PerformanceProfile {
      metrics: {
        renderTime: number;
        componentUpdates: number;
        memoryUsage: number;
      };
      traces: {
        network: NetworkTrace[];
        rendering: RenderTrace[];
      };
    }
    
  2. Backend Profiling

    interface APIProfile {
      responseTime: number;
      queryCount: number;
      cacheHits: number;
      memoryUsage: {
        before: number;
        after: number;
        diff: number;
      };
    }

Error Handling

  1. Global Error Boundary

    class GlobalErrorBoundary extends React.Component {
      static getDerivedStateFromError(error: Error) {
        return { hasError: true, error };
      }
      
      componentDidCatch(error: Error, info: React.ErrorInfo) {
        logger.error('React Error Boundary:', { error, info });
      }
    }
    
  2. API Error Handling

    interface APIError {
      code: string;
      message: string;
      details?: Record<string, any>;
      stack?: string;
    }
    
    class APIErrorHandler {
      handle(error: APIError): Response;
      log(error: APIError): void;
      notify(error: APIError): Promise<void>;
    }
