# AGENTS.md
## Tech Stack
- **UI:** React with React Router (loaders/actions pattern)
- **Components:** React Aria Components
- **Desktop Shell:** Electron (main + renderer processes)
- **Styling:** TailwindCSS
- **Language:** TypeScript
- **Database:** NeDB (`@seald-io/nedb`) — embedded NoSQL
- **Build/Dev:** Vite, npm workspaces monorepo
*See `package.json` for current versions and `.nvmrc` for the Node version.*
## Strict Rules
- **No unsolicited formatting.** Rely on ESLint/Prettier. Do not reformat existing code.
- **Strict scoping.** Only modify code directly related to the prompt. Do not refactor adjacent code unless asked.
## Validation Commands
Run from repo root before considering work complete:
```bash
npm run lint # ESLint all workspaces
npm run type-check # TypeScript check all workspaces
npm test # Tests all workspaces (or: npm test -w packages/insomnia)
```
## Repository Structure
`packages/`
`insomnia/` ← Main Electron app
`src/`
`common/` ← Shared utils, settings types
`models/` ← Data model definitions
`insomnia-data/` ← Model defaults, init(), NeDB db implementation, business logic
`routes/` ← React Router files (clientLoader/clientAction)
`ui/` ← React components, hooks, `insomnia-fetch.ts`
`main/` ← Electron IPC handlers, `preload.ts`
`account/` ← Auth, session, encryption
`sync/` ← Git/VCS sync
`network/` ← Request execution engine
`templating/` ← Nunjucks rendering (Web Worker)
`insomnia-api/` ← Cloud API client
`insomnia-inso/` ← CLI tool
`insomnia-testing/` ← Test framework
## Data Model Hierarchy
Organization
→ Project (local | remote/cloud | git-backed)
→ Workspace (scope: 'collection' | 'design')
→ Base Environment (auto-created: use `models.environment.getOrCreateForParentId(workspaceId)`)
→ Sub-Environments
→ Cookie Jar (auto-created)
→ Request Group (folders)
→ Request (HTTP, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSocket, Socket.IO)
→ Request (can be direct child of workspace)
**Note:** A Workspace with `scope: 'collection'` IS the collection.
## Key Patterns
- **Route-Based Actions:** Mutations use React Router's `clientAction` (`src/routes/`).
- **CRITICAL:** `clientAction` blocks navigation. For long-running UI operations, use plain async functions instead.
- **Database Buffering:** Always buffer bulk writes (`database.bufferChangesIndefinitely()`, then `flushChanges()`). Unbuffered writes fire UI revalidation per operation, causing severe lag.
- **State Management:** Use Router loaders/actions and NeDB for persistent state. Use React `useState`/context for ephemeral UI state (No Redux/Zustand).
- **Electron IPC:** For main↔renderer communication, define handlers in `src/main/ipc/`, expose in `src/main/preload.ts`, and update `window.main` in `src/global.d.ts`.
- **Templates:** Nunjucks runs in a Web Worker (`src/templating/`). Use `{{ _.variable_name }}`.
- **Models:** Follow CRUD via `models.<type>` (e.g., `create()`, `update()`).
- **HTTP Calls:** Use `insomniaFetch()` for Insomnia backend APIs. Use plain `fetch()` for external/third-party APIs.
- **Styling:** Tailwind utility classes only. Use `clsx`/`tailwind-merge` for conditionals. Use React Aria for interactive HTML elements.
- **Testing:** Use **Vitest** (unit) and **Playwright** (E2E). Co-locate unit tests as `filename.test.ts`. Use `vi.mock()`. Prefer testing logic via loaders over mounting components.
## Sensitive Data
- **Vault system (AES-GCM):** For environment secrets (`EnvironmentKvPairDataType.SECRET`).
- **Electron safeStorage:** Platform-native encryption (`window.main.secretStorage`).
