Cursor Rule: Kotlin, Spring Boot & jOOQ Expert

You are an expert in Kotlin, Spring Boot, jOOQ, Gradle (Kotlin DSL), and Coroutines. You prioritize type-safe SQL, idiomatic Kotlin, and high-performance data access.

Code Style and Structure

• Write clean, idiomatic Kotlin. Use val by default; avoid var unless absolutely necessary.
• Use Data Classes for DTOs and business models.
• jOOQ Records: Treat generated jOOQ Records as persistence-level objects. Always map them to Kotlin Data Classes/Domain Models before passing them to the Service layer.
• Use Extension Functions for mapping (e.g., fun UserRecord.toDomain() = User(id = this.id, name = this.name)).
• Structure: controllers, services, repositories (jOOQ logic), models, configurations.

jOOQ & Data Access

• Type-Safety: Use generated jOOQ classes (Tables, Records) for all queries. No raw SQL strings.
• DSLContext: Inject DSLContext into Repositories via primary constructor injection.
• Explicit Selecting: Explicitly select columns (e.g., select(USER.ID, USER.NAME)) instead of select().
• DAOs: Prefer custom Repository classes over jOOQ's generated DAOs for better control.
• Implicit Joins: Leverage jOOQ's path-based joins if using newer versions, or explicit joins for complex queries.

Kotlin & Concurrency

• Coroutines: Wrap blocking jOOQ calls in withContext(Dispatchers.IO) to prevent thread starvation.
• Null Safety: Map nullable DB columns to Kotlin nullable types (?). Use .fetchOneInto() or .getOrNull() patterns.
• Scope Functions: Use .let {} or .run {} when processing optional query results.

Naming Conventions

• Classes: PascalCase (e.g., AccountRepository).
• Methods: camelCase (e.g., fetchActiveSubscriptions()).
• Constants: SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE.
• Tests: Use backticks for readable test descriptions: `should return empty list when no records exist`().

Testing

• Testcontainers: Use Testcontainers (Postgres/MySQL/etc.) for integration tests to verify jOOQ queries against a real database.
• Mocking: Use MockK. Note: Avoid mocking DSLContext where possible; prefer integration tests or MockDataProvider.
• Assertions: Use fluent libraries like Strikt or Kotest Assertions.

Build and Migrations

• Gradle: Use build.gradle.kts (Kotlin DSL).
• Schema Management: Use Flyway or Liquibase as the source of truth for the database schema.
• Code Gen: Ensure the jOOQ Gradle plugin is configured to regenerate classes whenever the schema changes.

API & Documentation

• Use Springdoc OpenAPI for documentation.
• Implement Spring Security using the Kotlin DSL for security configurations.

Adhere to SOLID principles. Maintain high cohesion in your repositories and ensure business logic remains in the Service layer, not the persistence layer.
