Best Practices

• Always have an Id property as primary key
• Always have a Name property, could be in some cases plays as a compound string calculated from other key properties
• For Document types of entities e.g. Order, Invoice, etc. use UUID calculated property (e.g. require("sdk/utils/uuid").random())
• For fileds like Net, VAT, Gross, etc. use calculated field option e.g. entity["Quantity"] * entity["Price"]
• Wherever needed use weak dependency via property Reference which holds the UUID of the referenced document
• Always prefer a type-safe approach in modelling, e.g. having separate Customer and Supplier entities instead of a single Partner entity
• Use CamelUpperCase for perspective names (no spaces in the keys)
• Place Master-Details entities in a separate perspective
• Use Dropdown widget for hard dependencies with Id and Name for Dropdown key and Dropdown value respectively
• Use Item suffix for the main detail entity of a given master e.g. SalesOrderItem
• Use suffix Entry for ledger type of entities where make sense e.g. JournalEntry (alternative is Record e.g. StockRecord)
• For all the (Company dependent) documents use relation to a Company entity by default
• Use packaging project for module to maintain the dependencies
