8. Review Dependencies

Package Management

Review Output Format

Provide feedback in this structure:

Summary

Brief overview of the code and overall assessment

Critical Issues (Must Fix)

Issues that must be addressed before merging:

Security vulnerabilities
Correctness bugs
Breaking changes

Major Issues (Should Fix)

Important improvements that should be made:

Performance problems
Maintainability concerns
Architectural issues

Minor Issues (Nice to Have)

Suggestions for improvement:

Style inconsistencies
Better naming
Additional tests
Documentation gaps

Positive Observations

Highlight good practices and well-written code

Recommendations

Specific actionable suggestions
Code examples for improvements
Links to relevant documentation
Priority order for fixes

Example Review Comment

Location: src/users/userService.ts:45-60

Issue: SQL Injection Vulnerability (CRITICAL)

The user input is directly interpolated into the SQL query, creating
a SQL injection vulnerability.

Current code:
```typescript
const query = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = '${email}'`;

Recommended fix:

const query = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = $1';
const result = await db.query(query, [email]);

Impact: Critical security vulnerability Effort: Low (5 minutes)


## Best Practices for Reviewers

- Be constructive and respectful
- Explain the "why" behind suggestions
- Provide examples and alternatives
- Ask questions rather than make demands
- Acknowledge good work
- Focus on the most important issues first
- Be specific with feedback
- Suggest, don't dictate

Begin the code review by analyzing the specified files or changes.

# Multiple fields
GET /api/v1/users?sort=role,-createdAt


### 10. Webhooks (if applicable)

```markdown
## Webhooks

Subscribe to events via webhooks.

### Configuring Webhooks

```bash
POST /api/v1/webhooks
{
  "url": "https://your-app.com/webhook",
  "events": ["user.created", "user.updated"],
  "secret": "your_secret_key"
}

Webhook Payload

{
  "id": "evt_123",
  "type": "user.created",
  "data": {
    "id": "user_123",
    "name": "John Doe",
    "email": "john@example.com"
  },
  "timestamp": "2024-01-01T12:00:00Z"
}

Verifying Webhooks

Verify webhook signatures using HMAC SHA256:

const crypto = require('crypto');

function verifyWebhook(payload, signature, secret) {
  const hmac = crypto.createHmac('sha256', secret);
  const digest = hmac.update(payload).digest('hex');
  return signature === digest;
}
