DebrosFramework Development Specification
Overview
DebrosFramework is a comprehensive Node.js framework built on top of OrbitDB and IPFS that provides a model-based abstraction layer for building decentralized applications. The framework automatically handles database partitioning, global indexing, relationships, schema migrations, pinning strategies, and pub/sub communication while providing a clean, familiar API similar to traditional ORMs.
Architecture Principles
Core Design Goals

Scalability: Handle millions of users through automatic database partitioning
Developer Experience: Provide familiar ORM-like API with decorators and relationships
Automatic Management: Handle pinning, indexing, pub/sub, and migrations automatically
Type Safety: Full TypeScript support with comprehensive type definitions
Performance: Intelligent caching and query optimization
Flexibility: Support different database types and scoping strategies

Implementation Roadmap

1.1 Base Model Implementation
File: src/framework/models/BaseModel.ts
typescript// Core functionality every model inherits
export abstract class BaseModel {
  // Properties
  public id: string;
  public createdAt: number;
  public updatedAt: number;
  protected _loadedRelations: Map<string, any> = new Map();
  protected _isDirty: boolean = false;
  protected _isNew: boolean = true;

  // Static properties
  static modelName: string;
  static dbType: StoreType;
  static scope: 'user' | 'global';
  static sharding?: ShardingConfig;
  static pinning?: PinningConfig;
  static fields: Map<string, FieldConfig> = new Map();
  static relationships: Map<string, RelationshipConfig> = new Map();
  static hooks: Map<string, Function[]> = new Map();

  // Constructor
  constructor(data: any = {}) {
    this.fromJSON(data);
  }

  // Core CRUD operations
  async save(): Promise<this>;
  static async create<T extends BaseModel>(data: any): Promise<T>;
  static async get<T extends BaseModel>(id: string): Promise<T | null>;
  static async find<T extends BaseModel>(id: string): Promise<T>;

  async delete(): Promise<boolean>;

  // Query operations
  static where(field: string, operator: string, value: any): QueryBuilder<this>;
  static whereIn(field: string, values: any[]): QueryBuilder<this>;
  static orderBy(field: string, direction: 'asc' | 'desc'): QueryBuilder<this>;
  static limit(count: number): QueryBuilder<this>;
  static all(): Promise<this[]>;

  // Relationship operations
  async load(relationships: string[]): Promise<this>;
  async loadRelation(relationName: string): Promise<any>;

  // Serialization
  toJSON(): any;
  fromJSON(data: any): this;

  // Validation
  async validate(): Promise<ValidationResult>;

  // Hooks
  async beforeCreate(): Promise<void>;
  async afterCreate(): Promise<void>;
  async beforeUpdate(): Promise<void>;

      if (!this._loadedRelations.has(propertyKey)) {
        if (config.lazy) {
          // Return a promise for lazy loading
          return this.loadRelation(propertyKey);
        } else {
          throw new Error(`Relationship '${propertyKey}' not loaded. Use .load(['${propertyKey}']) first.`);
        }
      }
      return this._loadedRelations.get(propertyKey);

Performance monitoring
Advanced caching

Nice to Have (Future enhancements)

GraphQL integration
Real-time subscriptions
Backup and recovery
Analytics and metrics
Admin dashboard

Development Workflow
Phase Implementation

Create feature branch for each phase
Implement core functionality with basic tests
Add comprehensive tests for the feature
Update documentation with examples
Review and integrate with main branch

Code Quality Standards

TypeScript strict mode enabled
100% type coverage for public APIs
Unit test coverage minimum 80%
ESLint and Prettier for code formatting
Conventional commits for changelog generation

Testing Approach

TDD approach where possible
Mock OrbitDB/IPFS for unit tests
Real OrbitDB for integration tests
Performance benchmarks for critical paths

This specification provides a comprehensive roadmap for building the DebrosFramework. Each phase builds upon the previous one, allowing for iterative development and testing. The framework will provide a powerful, developer-friendly abstraction over OrbitDB while maintaining the scalability benefits of your original architecture.Crafted comprehensive dev document for AI framework implementation.7sThe user wants a comprehensive development document that can be provided to AI assistants to help build the framework. I've created a very detailed specification that covers:

Architecture and Design Principles - Clear overview of what we're building and why
Detailed Project Structure - Complete file organization
Phase-by-Phase Implementation Plan - 7 phases over 14 weeks with specific deliverables
Complete Code Examples - Detailed implementation examples for each major component
Testing Strategy - Unit, integration, and performance testing approaches
Documentation Requirements - What docs need to be created
Implementation Priorities - What to build first vs. later
Development Workflow - How to organize the work

The document is structured so that an AI assistant could:

Understand the overall architecture
Implement specific components with the provided examples
Follow the testing and documentation requirements
Prioritize work appropriately

Each phase has specific deliverables and code examples that show exactly what needs to be built. The document balances being comprehensive with being actionable - it provides enough detail that someone (or an AI) could start implementing immediately.
Key strengths of this specification:

Concrete code examples for all major components
Clear separation of concerns between different modules
Incremental development approach that allows testing at each phase
Realistic timeline with achievable milestones
Comprehensive testing strategy to ensure quality
Scalability considerations built into the design from the start

The document should give the user everything they need to either implement this themselves or provide to AI assistants for help with implementation.I've created a comprehensive development specification document that covers everything needed to build the DebrosFramework. This document is designed to be provided to AI assistants like Claude for implementation help.
Key Features of This Specification:
Complete Architecture Overview

Clear design principles and goals
Detailed project structure with file organization
Integration with your existing @debros/network codebase

Phase-by-Phase Implementation Plan (14 weeks)

Phase 1-2: Core model system with decorators
Phase 3-4: Database management and sharding
Phase 5-6: Query system and relationships
Phase 7-8: Relationship loading and caching
Phase 9-10: Automatic pinning and pub/sub
Phase 11-12: Migration system
Phase 13-14: Framework integration and optimization

Detailed Code Examples

Complete BaseModel implementation
All decorator implementations (@Model, @Field, @BelongsTo, etc.)
Query builder with smart execution strategies
Relationship management across database types
Automatic pinning and pub/sub systems
Schema migration handling

Comprehensive Implementation Details

How user-scoped vs global databases work
Sharding strategies for millions of users
Query optimization for different scenarios
Relationship loading across database types
Automatic feature management (pinning, pub/sub, etc.)

Developer Experience Focus
The framework provides a clean, familiar API while handling all OrbitDB complexity automatically:
typescript// Simple API that developers see
@Model({ scope: 'user', pinning: { factor: 3 } })
class Post extends BaseModel {
  @Field({ type: 'string' })
  content: string;

  @BelongsTo(User, 'userId')
  author: User;
}

// Complex operations work seamlessly
const posts = await Post
  .whereUserIn(followedUsers)
  .where('isPublic', '=', true)
  .load(['author'])
  .orderBy('createdAt', 'desc')
  .limit(50)
  .exec();
Testing & Quality Assurance

Unit, integration, and performance testing strategies
Code quality standards and workflows
Documentation requirements

How to Use This Specification:

For AI Assistance: Provide this entire document to Claude or other AI assistants when asking for implementation help
For Development Teams: Use as a technical specification and roadmap
For Phase Planning: Each phase has clear deliverables and can be implemented independently
