Getting Started

1. Understanding the Framework

// Start with these documents in order:
1. Getting Started Guide
2. Core Architecture
3. Laravel Compatibility Roadmap
4. Foundation Integration Guide

2. Package Development

// For each package:
1. Review package specification
2. Check gap analysis
3. Follow integration guide
4. Write tests

3. Development Workflow

// For each feature:
1. Review specifications
2. Write tests
3. Implement changes
4. Update documentation

Key Concepts

1. Service Container Architecture

// Core application setup
var container = Container();
var app = Application(container)
  ..environment = 'production'
  ..basePath = Directory.current.path;

await app.boot();

2. Service Providers

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider {
  @override
  void register() {
    // Register services
  }
  
  @override
  void boot() {
    // Bootstrap services
  }
}

3. Package Integration

// Cross-package usage
class UserService {
  final EventDispatcher events;
  final Queue queue;
  
  Future<void> process(User user) async {
    await events.dispatch(UserProcessing(user));
    await queue.push(ProcessUser(user));
  }
}

Contributing

1. Before Starting

• Review relevant documentation
• Check implementation status
• Understand dependencies
• Write tests first

2. Development Process

// 1. Create feature branch
git checkout -b feature/package-name/feature-name

// 2. Write tests
void main() {
  test('should implement feature', () {
    // Test implementation
  });
}

// 3. Implement feature
class Implementation {
  // Feature code
}

// 4. Submit PR
// - Include tests
// - Update documentation
// - Add examples

3. Code Review

• Verify specifications
• Check test coverage
• Review documentation
• Validate performance

Best Practices

1. API Design

// Follow framework patterns
class Service {
  // Match framework method signatures
  Future<void> handle();
  Future<void> process();
}

2. Testing

// Comprehensive test coverage
void main() {
  group('Feature', () {
    // Unit tests
    // Integration tests
    // Performance tests
    // Error cases
  });
}

3. Documentation

/// Document framework compatibility
class Service {
  /// Processes data following framework patterns.
  /// 
  /// Example:
  /// ```dart
  /// var service = container.make<Service>();
  /// await service.process();
  /// ```
  Future<void> process();
}
