Best Practices
Development Guidelines
This section outlines the best practices for working with the ECO SDK components.
Code Organization
- Modular Design: Keep your code modular and focused on single responsibilities
- Error Handling: Implement proper error handling for all component operations
- Resource Management: Always clean up resources when they're no longer needed
Performance Optimization
Memory Management:
- Use the Memory Manager component for efficient memory allocation
- Avoid memory leaks by properly deallocating resources
- Monitor memory usage in your applications
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
Interface Bus:
- Use the Interface Bus for all inter-component communication
- Implement proper message handling
- Use appropriate message types for different operations
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
- Input Validation: Always validate input data before processing
- Error Information: Avoid exposing sensitive information in error messages
- Resource Access: Implement proper access controls for file operations
Testing
- Unit Testing: Write comprehensive unit tests for all components
- Integration Testing: Test component interactions thoroughly
- Performance Testing: Monitor and optimize performance regularly
Common Pitfalls
- Memory Leaks: Forgetting to deallocate memory
- File Handle Leaks: Not closing file handles properly
- Error Handling: Ignoring error conditions
- Resource Management: Not cleaning up resources properly
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues, check the following:
- Logs: Check the application logs for error messages
- Memory Usage: Monitor memory usage for potential leaks
- File Permissions: Ensure proper file permissions are set
- Component Configuration: Verify component configurations are correct
