# Title: Integrating Machine Learning Models into TypeScript Applications
# Description: Explore how to incorporate machine learning models into TypeScript projects using libraries like TensorFlow.js.
# Category: TypeScript Cursor Rules

## Project Context
- This project is a TypeScript application that integrates machine learning models using TensorFlow.js.

## Coding Standards
- Use TypeScript for all code to ensure type safety and maintainability.
- Enable strict mode in TypeScript to catch potential errors early.
- Prefer interfaces over types for defining object shapes to leverage declaration merging and better readability.

## Style Guidelines
- Follow the Airbnb JavaScript Style Guide adapted for TypeScript.
- Use 2 spaces for indentation.
- Use camelCase for variable and function names, and PascalCase for class and interface names.

## Best Practices
- Utilize functional programming patterns; avoid classes unless necessary.
- Ensure all machine learning models are loaded and executed asynchronously to prevent blocking the main thread.
- Validate and sanitize all input data before feeding it into machine learning models to prevent errors and ensure data integrity.

## TensorFlow.js Integration
- Use the latest stable version of TensorFlow.js for optimal performance and security.
- Load models using the `tf.loadLayersModel` or `tf.loadGraphModel` methods, depending on the model format.
- Perform model inference within Web Workers when possible to maintain UI responsiveness.

## Performance Optimization
- Optimize model size and complexity to balance performance and accuracy.
- Use WebGL backend for TensorFlow.js to leverage GPU acceleration.
- Dispose of tensors and models properly using `dispose()` to free up memory and prevent memory leaks.

## Testing
- Write unit tests for all functions, especially those involving machine learning model inference.
- Use Jest with the `@testing-library/react` for testing React components.
- Aim for at least 80% test coverage to ensure code reliability.

## Documentation
- Use JSDoc comments for all functions and classes to provide clear documentation.
- Maintain an up-to-date README.md with project setup instructions, usage examples, and contribution guidelines.

## Error Handling
- Implement robust error handling around model loading and inference to gracefully handle failures.
- Log errors to a monitoring service to facilitate debugging and maintenance.

## Security
- Ensure all dependencies, including TensorFlow.js, are up-to-date to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
- Avoid executing untrusted code or loading models from unverified sources to prevent security risks.

## Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD)
- Set up a CI/CD pipeline to automate testing and deployment processes.
- Include linting and type-checking steps in the pipeline to enforce code quality standards.

## Scalability
- Design the application with scalability in mind, allowing for easy integration of additional models or features in the future.
- Modularize code to separate concerns and facilitate maintenance and expansion.

## API Design
- Follow RESTful principles for any APIs exposed by the application.
- Use OpenAPI (Swagger) for API documentation to ensure clarity and consistency.

## Version Control
- Use Git for version control, with a branching strategy like GitFlow to manage feature development and releases.
- Write meaningful commit messages following the Conventional Commits specification.

## Dependencies
- Regularly audit and update dependencies to ensure compatibility and security.
- Use a lockfile (e.g., package-lock.json) to maintain consistent dependency versions across environments.

## Deployment
- Deploy the application using a cloud service provider that supports Node.js applications.
- Configure environment variables securely and avoid hardcoding sensitive information in the codebase.

## Monitoring
- Implement application performance monitoring to track and optimize resource usage.
- Set up logging and alerting mechanisms to promptly detect and address issues in production.

## Accessibility
- Ensure the application meets accessibility standards (e.g., WCAG) to provide an inclusive user experience.
- Use semantic HTML and ARIA attributes appropriately to enhance accessibility.

## Internationalization
- Design the application to support multiple languages and regions if applicable.
- Use localization libraries to manage translations and cultural formatting.

## Legal Compliance
- Ensure the application complies with relevant laws and regulations, such as GDPR for data protection.
- Include a privacy policy and terms of service to inform users about data usage and their rights.

## Community Engagement
- Encourage contributions by providing clear guidelines and a code of conduct.
- Actively maintain and respond to issues and pull requests to foster a healthy community around the project.
