Best Practices

Development Guidelines

This section outlines the best practices for working with the ECO SDK components.

Code Organization

  1. Modular Design: Keep your code modular and focused on single responsibilities
  2. Error Handling: Implement proper error handling for all component operations
  3. Resource Management: Always clean up resources when they're no longer needed

Performance Optimization

  1. Memory Management:

    • Use the Memory Manager component for efficient memory allocation
    • Avoid memory leaks by properly deallocating resources
    • Monitor memory usage in your applications
  2. File Operations:

    • Use the File System Management component for file operations
    • Implement proper error handling for file I/O
    • Use asynchronous operations when possible

Component Usage

  1. Interface Bus:

    • Use the Interface Bus for all inter-component communication
    • Implement proper message handling
    • Use appropriate message types for different operations
  2. Logging:

    • Use the Logging System for comprehensive application logging
    • Implement different log levels for different types of information
    • Use structured logging for better analysis

Security Considerations

  1. Input Validation: Always validate input data before processing
  2. Error Information: Avoid exposing sensitive information in error messages
  3. Resource Access: Implement proper access controls for file operations

Testing

  1. Unit Testing: Write comprehensive unit tests for all components
  2. Integration Testing: Test component interactions thoroughly
  3. Performance Testing: Monitor and optimize performance regularly

Common Pitfalls

  1. Memory Leaks: Forgetting to deallocate memory
  2. File Handle Leaks: Not closing file handles properly
  3. Error Handling: Ignoring error conditions
  4. Resource Management: Not cleaning up resources properly

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, check the following:

  1. Logs: Check the application logs for error messages
  2. Memory Usage: Monitor memory usage for potential leaks
  3. File Permissions: Ensure proper file permissions are set
  4. Component Configuration: Verify component configurations are correct
