Instead of hoping conventions are followed, you verify them continuously.<br> If you’re working in TypeScript, the best tool is ArchUnitTS.<br> ➡️ Inspired by ArchUnit (Java)<br> ➡️ Lets you express architectural rules as tests<br> ➡️ Fails your CI when boundaries are violated<br> ➡️ Keeps architecture alive, not just documented<br> 📈 ArchUnitTS has been gaining significant traction lately, with growing adoption across teams and enterprises that want scalable, maintainable TypeScript codebases.<br> Examples of what you can enforce:</p> <ul> <li>Layered architecture rules</li> <li>Module boundaries</li> <li>Dependency direction</li> <li>Naming and structural conventions Architecture shouldn’t be a PDF nobody reads. It should be executable, testable, and enforced. If you’re tired of architecture erosion, here is the repo.</li> </ul> webdev programming testing architecture
