// ✅ GOOD: Verb-noun pattern
async function fetchMarketData(marketId: string) { }
function calculateSimilarity(a: number[], b: number[]) { }
function isValidEmail(email: string): boolean { }
 
// ❌ BAD: Unclear or noun-only
async function market(id: string) { }
function similarity(a, b) { }
function email(e) { }

// ✅ ALWAYS use spread operator
const updatedUser = {
  ...user,
  name: 'New Name'
}
 
const updatedArray = [...items, newItem]
 
// ❌ NEVER mutate directly
user.name = 'New Name'  // BAD
items.push(newItem)     // BAD

// ✅ GOOD: Comprehensive error handling
async function fetchData(url: string) {
  try {
    const response = await fetch(url)
 
    if (!response.ok) {
      throw new Error(`HTTP ${response.status}: ${response.statusText}`)
    }
 
    return await response.json()
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Fetch failed:', error)
    throw new Error('Failed to fetch data')
  }
}
 
// ❌ BAD: No error handling
async function fetchData(url) {
  const response = await fetch(url)
  return response.json()
}

// ✅ GOOD: Parallel execution when possible
const [users, markets, stats] = await Promise.all([
  fetchUsers(),
  fetchMarkets(),
  fetchStats()
])
 
// ❌ BAD: Sequential when unnecessary
const users = await fetchUsers()
const markets = await fetchMarkets()
const stats = await fetchStats()

// ✅ GOOD: Proper types
interface Market {
  id: string
  name: string
  status: 'active' | 'resolved' | 'closed'
  created_at: Date
}
 
function getMarket(id: string): Promise<Market> {
  // Implementation
}
 
// ❌ BAD: Using 'any'
function getMarket(id: any): Promise<any> {
  // Implementation
}

// ✅ GOOD: Functional component with types
interface ButtonProps {
  children: React.ReactNode
  onClick: () => void
  disabled?: boolean
  variant?: 'primary' | 'secondary'
}
 
export function Button({
  children,
  onClick,
  disabled = false,
  variant = 'primary'
}: ButtonProps) {
  return (
    <button
      onClick={onClick}
      disabled={disabled}
      className={`btn btn-${variant}`}
    >
      {children}
    </button>
  )
}
 
// ❌ BAD: No types, unclear structure
export function Button(props) {
  return <button onClick={props.onClick}>{props.children}</button>
}

// ✅ GOOD: Reusable custom hook
export function useDebounce<T>(value: T, delay: number): T {
  const [debouncedValue, setDebouncedValue] = useState<T>(value)
 
  useEffect(() => {
    const handler = setTimeout(() => {
      setDebouncedValue(value)
    }, delay)
 
    return () => clearTimeout(handler)
  }, [value, delay])
 
  return debouncedValue
}
 
// Usage
const debouncedQuery = useDebounce(searchQuery, 500)

// ✅ GOOD: Proper state updates
const [count, setCount] = useState(0)
 
// Functional update for state based on previous state
setCount(prev => prev + 1)
 
// ❌ BAD: Direct state reference
setCount(count + 1)  // Can be stale in async scenarios

// ✅ GOOD: Clear conditional rendering
{isLoading && <Spinner />}
{error && <ErrorMessage error={error} />}
{data && <DataDisplay data={data} />}
 
// ❌ BAD: Ternary hell
{isLoading ? <Spinner /> : error ? <ErrorMessage error={error} /> : data ? <DataDisplay data={data} /> : null}

DELETE /api/markets/:id          # Delete market

# Query parameters for filtering
