common-codes

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the inconsistency and potential for errors in representing domain-specific codes within an application by establishing a standardized interface and best practices for enum definitions and JPA persistence.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Standardized Enum Contract: Ensures all domain codes implement the CommonCode interface, providing consistent code and description access.
• JPA Persistence Best Practices: Enforces the use of EnumType.STRING for enums in database entities to prevent data corruption.
• Use Case: When defining an OrderStatus enum, this Skill ensures it implements CommonCode and is correctly persisted as a string in the database, preventing issues if the enum order changes.

Quick Start

Define a new enum for payment methods, ensuring it implements the CommonCode interface.
