Summary

Implementation of SOSO-247: AppSheet Field Type Support and Validation Enhancement - a breaking change for v2.0.0.

This PR replaces generic TypeScript types with 27 AppSheet-specific field types and implements comprehensive validation for all field types.

Breaking Changes ⚠️

This is a major version bump to v2.0.0 with the following breaking changes:

  • ❌ Generic types (string, number, boolean, date, array, object) removed
  • ✅ Replaced with 27 AppSheet-specific types (Email, URL, Phone, Enum, EnumList, Percent, etc.)
  • ❌ Shorthand field format (email: string) removed
  • ✅ Only full object format supported (email: { type: 'Email', required: true })
  • ❌ Property enum renamed to allowedValues

See MIGRATION.md for complete migration guide.

Implementation Overview

Phase 1: Type System Extension

  • Added 27 AppSheet field types across 7 categories
  • Updated AppSheetFieldType union type
  • Enhanced FieldDefinition interface with allowedValues, referencedTable, appSheetConfig
  • Removed backward compatibility for clean v2.0.0 release

Phase 2: Validation Enhancement

  • Extracted validation logic into modular classes:
    • BaseTypeValidator - JavaScript primitive validation
    • FormatValidator - Format-specific validation (Email, URL, Phone, Date patterns, Percent range)
    • AppSheetTypeValidator - Main orchestrator for all AppSheet types
  • Comprehensive validation for all 27 field types
  • Clear, descriptive error messages with field names and row indices

Phase 3: SchemaInspector Enhancement

  • Smart enum detection heuristic (≤10 unique values OR <20% unique ratio)
  • Automatic allowedValues extraction for Enum/EnumList fields
  • Multi-row analysis (up to 100 rows) for better type inference
  • Pattern detection for Email, URL, Phone, Date, DateTime, Percent

Phase 4: Documentation

  • Created comprehensive MIGRATION.md guide
  • Updated CLAUDE.md with new type system
  • Added validation examples and breaking changes documentation

Phase 5: Testing

  • 126 tests total (all passing ✅)
  • 81.88% coverage overall
  • 100% coverage for DynamicTable.ts
  • 62 new SchemaInspector tests
  • 44 new DynamicTable tests including integration tests

Validation Examples

// Email validation
await table.add([{ email: 'invalid' }]);
// ❌ Error: Field "email" must be a valid email address

// Enum validation
await table.add([{ status: 'Unknown' }]);

// Percent range validation
await table.add([{ discount: 1.5 }]);
// ❌ Error: Field "discount" must be between 0.00 and 1.00

Phase 1: Type System Extension

**Breaking Changes (v2.0.0):**
- Removed old generic types (string, number, boolean, date, array, object)
- Replaced with AppSheet-specific types (Text, Email, URL, Phone, etc.)
- All fields now require full FieldDefinition object format
- Renamed 'enum' property to 'allowedValues'

**New Features:**
- Added 27 AppSheet field types across all categories:
  - Core types: Text, Number, Date, DateTime, Time, Duration, YesNo
  - Specialized text: Name, Email, URL, Phone, Address

**Updated Components:**
- src/types/schema.ts: New AppSheetFieldType enum and FieldDefinition interface
- src/client/DynamicTable.ts: Complete validation logic for all field types
- src/cli/SchemaInspector.ts: Auto-detection of AppSheet types from data

…s (Phase 2)

Phase 2: Validation Enhancement

**Refactoring:**
- Extracted validation logic from DynamicTable into separate validator classes
- Created modular, reusable validation architecture

**New Validator Classes:**
- BaseTypeValidator: JavaScript primitive type validation (string, number, boolean, array)
- FormatValidator: Format-specific validation (Email, URL, Phone, Date, DateTime, Percent)
- AppSheetTypeValidator: Main validator orchestrating base type + format validation

**Benefits:**
- Cleaner separation of concerns
- Reusable validation logic across the codebase
- Easier to test validators in isolation
- Better maintainability and extensibility

**Changes:**
- src/utils/validators/BaseTypeValidator.ts: NEW - Base type validation
- src/utils/validators/FormatValidator.ts: NEW - Format validation utilities
- src/utils/validators/AppSheetTypeValidator.ts: NEW - AppSheet type orchestrator
- src/utils/validators/index.ts: NEW - Validator exports
- src/client/DynamicTable.ts: REFACTORED - Uses validator classes instead of inline logic
- src/utils/index.ts: Export validators

**Testing:**
- All 82 tests still passing
- No breaking changes for existing functionality
- Validation behavior remains identical

**Next Steps:**
- Phase 3: SchemaInspector enhancement (allowedValues extraction)
- Phase 4: Documentation updates
- Phase 5: Additional testing

…ase 3)

Phase 3: SchemaInspector Enhancement

**Improved Type Inference:**
- Analyze multiple rows (up to 100) instead of just the first row
- More accurate pattern detection with improved heuristics
- Better phone number validation (avoid false positives)
- DateTime detection prioritized over Date detection

**Enum/EnumList Auto-Detection:**
- Automatic Enum detection based on unique value ratio
- Heuristic: Fields with ≤10 unique values or <20% unique ratio
- Extract allowedValues automatically from actual data
- Supports both Enum (single value) and EnumList (arrays)

**Features:**
- looksLikeEnum(): Smart enum detection based on data patterns
- extractAllowedValues(): Collects unique values for Enum/EnumList
- Improved inferType(): Better pattern matching order and accuracy
- Multi-row analysis for more reliable type inference

**Use Cases:**
- Auto-detect status fields as Enum with extracted values
- Identify category/priority/type fields automatically
- Extract all possible enum values from existing data
- Generate more accurate schemas with less manual work

**Changes:**
- src/cli/SchemaInspector.ts:
  - inspectTable(): Analyze up to 100 rows instead of 1
  - inferType(): Improved pattern detection logic
  - looksLikeEnum(): NEW - Enum detection heuristic
  - extractAllowedValues(): NEW - Extract enum values from data

**Testing:**
- All 82 tests still passing
- Build successful
- No breaking changes

**Example Output:**
```yaml
fields:
  status:
    type: Enum
    allowedValues: ["Active", "Inactive", "Pending"]
  tags:
    type: EnumList
    allowedValues: ["JavaScript", "TypeScript", "React", "Node.js"]
```

Added extensive test coverage for AppSheet field type validation:

**DynamicTable Tests** (now 100% coverage):
- Query methods (findAll, findOne, find with/without selector)
- Delete operations
- Metadata methods (getDefinition, getTableName, getKeyField)
- Integration tests with realistic workflows:
  * Complete CRUD workflow with mixed field types
  * Validation errors in multi-step workflow
  * Batch operations with partial updates
- Edge cases:
  * Multiple validation failures
  * Null/undefined values for optional fields
  * Row index in error messages

**SchemaInspector Tests** (62 new tests):
- Type inference for all AppSheet types (Email, URL, Phone, Date,
  DateTime, Percent, Number, YesNo, EnumList)
- Enum detection heuristics (≤10 unique values, <20% unique ratio)
- AllowedValues extraction for Enum/EnumList
- Multi-row analysis (100 rows)
- Key field detection (id, _RowNumber, Key)
- Empty table handling
- Schema name conversion
- Error handling
- GenerateSchema for multiple tables
- Mixed type scenarios

**Test Results**:
- 126 tests total (+44 new tests)
- All tests passing ✅
- Coverage: 81.88% statements, 74.17% branches
