Best Practices | 最佳实践

1. Naming Conventions | 命名规范

⚠️ Application Code & Filename Rule | 应用 code 与文件名规范

The code value MUST exactly match the filename (without .app.yml). This is a hard requirement.

code 值必须与文件名（去掉 .app.yml 后缀）完全一致，这是强制要求。

# File: steedos_crm.app.yml
code: steedos_crm   # ✅ matches filename

# File: steedos_crm.app.yml
code: crm           # ❌ does NOT match filename

⚠️ Application Code Prefix Rule | 应用 code 前缀规范

All custom applications MUST have their code prefixed with {org_code}_{project_code}_ to avoid naming conflicts.

所有自定义应用的 code 必须以 {组织简码}_{项目简码}_ 开头，防止命名冲突。

Format: {org_code}_{project_code}_{app_name}

Part	Description	Example
org_code	Organization abbreviation (2–6 chars, lowercase)	steedos
project_code	Project abbreviation (2–6 chars, lowercase)	crm
app_name	App business name (snake_case)	app

# ✅ Good
name: CRM
code: steedos_crm_app

name: HR Management
code: acme_hr_app

# ❌ Bad — no prefix, risks conflict
name: Contract Management
code: contracts

⚠️ When a user does not specify a prefix, ASK for their organization code and project code before generating app files. Do NOT invent a prefix.

⚠️ 如果用户未指定前缀，在生成应用文件前必须询问其组织简码和项目简码，不得自行编造前缀。

2. Tab Organization with Groups

Group related tabs using tab_groups and tab_items:

使用 tab_groups 和 tab_items 对标签进行分组：

tabs:
  - contracts
  - customers
  - contract_items
  - contract_approvals
  - contract_templates

tab_groups:
  - group_name: 业务
    default_open: true
  - group_name: 配置
    default_open: false

tab_items:
  contracts:
    group: 业务
    index: 1
  customers:
    group: 业务
    index: 2
  contract_items:
    group: 业务
    index: 3
  contract_approvals:
    group: 业务
    index: 4
  contract_templates:
    group: 配置
    index: 1

3. Always Enable Sidebar

Always set showSidebar: true for proper navigation:

始终设置 showSidebar: true 以确保正确的导航：

showSidebar: true
mobile: true

4. Sort Order

Use consistent sort values:

# Primary apps: 100-199
sort: 100  # Main business app

# Secondary apps: 200-299
sort: 200  # Supporting app

# Admin apps: 900-999
sort: 900  # Administration

5. Icons

The icon_slds value MUST exist in the valid icon_slds values list. Never invent icon names. Use custom or record if no specific icon fits. Common mappings: 质检/检验→observation_component, 巡检→visits, 设备→maintenance_asset, 工单→work_order, 审批→approval

icon_slds 值必须存在于有效值列表中，严禁编造。 常见映射：质检→observation_component，巡检→visits，设备→maintenance_asset，工单→work_order，审批→approval

# Business apps
icon_slds: contract      # Contracts
icon_slds: opportunity   # Sales
icon_slds: account       # Customers
icon_slds: orders        # Orders

# System apps
icon_slds: settings      # Configuration
icon_slds: dashboard     # Analytics
icon_slds: apps_admin    # Administration

Internationalization | 国际化

Application names are translated using .translation.yml files. See the translations skill for details.

应用名称通过 .translation.yml 文件翻译。详见国际化 skill。

# applications/contracts.app.yml — label follows user's prompt language
name: 合同管理
code: contracts

# objectTranslations are NOT used for apps.
# Use translations/en.translation.yml for app name translation:
# CustomLabels or app-level translation entries.

Troubleshooting | 故障排除
