## 🔥 Guardian's Unique Advantages
Guardian has **7 unique features** that no competitor offers:
### 1. ✨ Hardcode Detection with AI Suggestions
**Guardian:**
```typescript
// Detected:
app.listen(3000)
// Suggestion:
💡 Extract to: DEFAULT_PORT
📁 Location: infrastructure/config/constants.ts
🤖 AI Prompt: "Extract port 3000 to DEFAULT_PORT constant in config"
```
**Competitors:**
- SonarQube: Only detects hardcoded secrets (API keys), not magic numbers
- Others: No hardcode detection at all
### 2. 🔌 Framework Leak Detection
**Guardian:**
```typescript
// domain/entities/User.ts
import { Request } from 'express' // ❌ VIOLATION!
// Detected: Framework leak in domain layer
// Suggestion: Use dependency injection via interfaces
```
**Competitors:**
- ArchUnit: Can check via custom rules (not built-in)
- Others: Not available
### 3. 🎭 Entity Exposure Detection
**Guardian:**
```typescript
// ❌ Bad: Domain entity exposed
async getUser(): Promise<User> { }
// ✅ Good: Use DTOs
async getUser(): Promise<UserDto> { }
// Guardian detects this automatically!
```
**Competitors:**
- None have this built-in
### 4. 📚 Repository Pattern Validation
**Guardian:**
```typescript
// Detects ORM types in domain interfaces:
interface IUserRepository {
findOne(query: { where: ... }) // ❌ Prisma-specific!
}
// Detects concrete repos in use cases:
constructor(private prisma: PrismaClient) {} // ❌ VIOLATION!
```
**Competitors:**
- None validate repository pattern
### 5. 🤖 AI-First Workflow
**Guardian:**
```bash
# Generate AI-friendly fix prompt
guardian check ./src --format ai-prompt > fix.txt
# Feed to Claude/GPT:
"Fix these Guardian violations: $(cat fix.txt)"
# AI fixes → Run Guardian again → Ship it!
```
**Competitors:**
- Generic output, not optimized for AI assistants
### 6. 🛠️ Auto-Fix for Architecture (v0.9+)
**Guardian:**
```bash
# Automatically extract hardcodes to constants
guardian fix ./src --auto
# Rename files to match conventions
guardian fix naming ./src --auto
# Interactive mode
guardian fix ./src --interactive
```
**Competitors:**
- ESLint has `--fix` but only for syntax
- None fix architecture violations
### 7. 🎯 DDD Pattern Detection (30+)
**Guardian Roadmap:**
- Aggregate boundaries
- Anemic domain model
- Domain events
- Value Object immutability
- CQRS violations
- Saga pattern
- Ubiquitous language
- And 23+ more DDD patterns!
**Competitors:**
- Generic architecture checks only
- No DDD-specific patterns

## 📈 Detailed Tool Comparisons
## vs SonarQube
### When SonarQube Wins
**Multi-language projects**
```
Java + Python + TypeScript → Use SonarQube
TypeScript only → Consider Guardian
```
**Security-critical applications**
```
SonarQube: SAST, SCA, OWASP Top 10, CVE detection
Guardian: Architecture only (security coming later)
```
**Large enterprise with compliance**
```
SonarQube: Compliance reports, audit trails, enterprise support
Guardian: Lightweight, developer-focused
```
**Existing SonarQube investment**
```
Already using SonarQube? Add Guardian for DDD-specific checks
```
### When Guardian Wins
**TypeScript + AI coding workflow**
```typescript
// AI generates code → Guardian checks → AI fixes → Ship
// 10x faster than manual review
```
**Clean Architecture / DDD enforcement**
```typescript
// Guardian understands DDD out-of-the-box
// SonarQube requires custom rules
```
**Fast setup (< 5 minutes)**
```bash
npm install -g @samiyev/guardian
guardian check ./src
# Done! (vs hours of SonarQube setup)
```
**Hardcode detection with context**
```typescript
// Guardian knows the difference between:
const port = 3000 // ❌ Should be constant
const increment = 1 // ✅ Allowed (semantic)
```
### Side-by-Side Example
**Scenario:** Detect hardcoded port in Express app
```typescript
// src/server.ts
app.listen(3000)
```
**SonarQube:**
```
❌ No violation (not a secret)
```
**Guardian:**
```
✅ Hardcode detected:
Type: magic-number
Value: 3000
💡 Suggested: DEFAULT_PORT
📁 Location: infrastructure/config/constants.ts
🤖 AI Fix: "Extract 3000 to DEFAULT_PORT constant"
```
---
## vs dependency-cruiser
### When dependency-cruiser Wins
**Visualization priority**
```bash
# Best-in-class dependency graphs
depcruise src --output-type dot | dot -T svg > graph.svg
```
**Custom dependency rules**
```javascript
// Highly flexible rule system
forbidden: [
{
from: { path: '^src/domain' },
to: { path: '^src/infrastructure' }
}
]
```
**Multi-framework support**
```
JS, TS, Vue, Svelte, JSX, CoffeeScript
```
### When Guardian Wins
**DDD/Clean Architecture out-of-the-box**
```typescript
// Guardian knows these patterns:
// - Domain/Application/Infrastructure layers
// - Entity exposure
// - Repository pattern
// - Framework leaks
// dependency-cruiser: Write custom rules for each
```
**Hardcode detection**
```typescript
// Guardian finds:
setTimeout(() => {}, 5000) // Magic number
const url = "http://..." // Magic string
// dependency-cruiser: Doesn't check this
```
**AI workflow integration**
```bash
guardian check ./src --format ai-prompt
# Optimized for Claude/GPT
depcruise src
# Generic output
```
### Complementary Usage
**Best approach:** Use both!
```bash
# Guardian for architecture + hardcode
guardian check ./src
# dependency-cruiser for visualization
depcruise src --output-type svg > architecture.svg
```
**Coming in Guardian v0.7.0:**
```bash
# Guardian will have built-in visualization!
guardian visualize ./src --output architecture.svg
```
---
## vs ArchUnit (Java)
### When ArchUnit Wins
**Java projects**
```java
// ArchUnit is built for Java
@ArchTest
void domainShouldNotDependOnInfrastructure(JavaClasses classes) {
noClasses().that().resideInPackage("..domain..")
.should().dependOnClassesThat().resideInPackage("..infrastructure..")
.check(classes);
}
```
**Test-based architecture validation**
```java
// Architecture rules = unit tests
// Runs in your CI with other tests
```
**Mature Java ecosystem**
```
Spring Boot, Hibernate, JPA patterns
Built-in rules for layered/onion architecture
```
### When Guardian Wins
**TypeScript/JavaScript projects**
```typescript
// Guardian is built for TypeScript
// ArchUnit doesn't support TS
```
**AI coding workflow**
```bash
# Guardian → AI → Fix → Ship
# ArchUnit is test-based (slower feedback)
```
**Zero-config DDD**
```bash
guardian check ./src
# Works immediately with DDD structure
# ArchUnit requires writing tests for each rule
```
### Philosophical Difference
**ArchUnit:**
```java
// Architecture = Tests
// You write explicit tests for each rule
```
**Guardian:**
```bash
# Architecture = Linter
# Pre-configured DDD rules out-of-the-box
```
---
## vs FTA (Fast TypeScript Analyzer)
### When FTA Wins
**Complexity metrics focus**
```bash
# FTA provides:
# - Cyclomatic complexity
# - Halstead metrics
# - Line counts
# - Technical debt estimation
```
**Performance (Rust-based)**
```
FTA: 1600 files/second
Guardian: ~500 files/second (Node.js)
```
**Simplicity**
```bash
# FTA does one thing well: metrics
fta src/
```
### When Guardian Wins
**Architecture enforcement**
```typescript
// Guardian checks:
// - Layer violations
// - Framework leaks
// - Circular dependencies
// - Repository pattern
// FTA: Only measures complexity, no architecture checks
```
**Hardcode detection**
```typescript
// Guardian finds magic numbers/strings
// FTA doesn't check this
```
**AI workflow**
```bash
# Guardian provides actionable suggestions
# FTA provides metrics only
```
### Complementary Usage
**Best approach:** Use both!
```bash
# Guardian for architecture
guardian check ./src
# FTA for complexity metrics
fta src/ --threshold complexity:15
```
**Coming in Guardian v0.10.0:**
```bash
# Guardian will include complexity metrics!
guardian metrics ./src --include-complexity
```
---
## vs ESLint + Plugins
### When ESLint Wins
**General code quality**
```javascript
// Best for:
// - Code style
// - Common bugs
// - TypeScript errors
// - React/Vue specific rules
```
**Huge ecosystem**
```bash
# 10,000+ plugins
eslint-plugin-react
eslint-plugin-vue
eslint-plugin-security
# ...and many more
```
**Auto-fix for syntax**
```bash
eslint --fix
# Fixes semicolons, quotes, formatting, etc.
```
### When Guardian Wins
**Architecture enforcement**
```typescript
// ESLint doesn't understand:
// - Clean Architecture layers
// - DDD patterns
// - Framework leaks
// - Entity exposure
// Guardian does!
```
**Hardcode detection with context**
```typescript
// ESLint plugins check patterns
// Guardian understands semantic context
```
**AI workflow integration**
```bash
# Guardian optimized for AI assistants
# ESLint generic output
```
### Complementary Usage
**Best approach:** Use both!
```bash
# ESLint for code quality
eslint src/
# Guardian for architecture
guardian check ./src
```
**Many teams run both in CI:**
```yaml
# .github/workflows/quality.yml
- name: ESLint
run: npm run lint
- name: Guardian
run: guardian check ./src --fail-on error
```
---
## vs import-linter (Python)
### When import-linter Wins
**Python projects**
```ini
# .importlinter
[importlinter]
root_package = myproject
[importlinter:contract:1]
name = Layers contract
type = layers
layers =
myproject.domain
myproject.application
myproject.infrastructure
```
**Mature Python ecosystem**
```python
# Django, Flask, FastAPI integration
```
### When Guardian Wins
**TypeScript/JavaScript**
```typescript
// Guardian is for TS/JS
// import-linter is Python-only
```
**More than import checking**
```typescript
// Guardian checks:
// - Hardcode
// - Entity exposure
// - Repository pattern
// - Framework leaks
// import-linter: Only imports
```
### Future Integration
**Guardian v2.0+ (Planned):**
```bash
# Multi-language support coming
guardian check ./python-src --language python
guardian check ./ts-src --language typescript
```

## 📅 Detailed Roadmap
## Version 0.6.0 - Configuration & Presets ⚙️
**Target:** Q1 2026 (January-February)
**Priority:** 🔥 CRITICAL
> **Why Critical:** All competitors (SonarQube, ESLint, dependency-cruiser) have configuration. Without this, Guardian cannot be customized for different teams/projects.
### Features
#### 1. Configuration File Support
```javascript
// guardian.config.js (primary)
export default {
// Zero-config presets
preset: 'clean-architecture', // or 'ddd', 'hexagonal', 'onion'
// Rule configuration
rules: {
'hardcode/magic-numbers': 'error',
'hardcode/magic-strings': 'warn',
'architecture/layer-violation': 'error',
'architecture/framework-leak': 'error',
'architecture/entity-exposure': 'error',
'circular-dependency': 'error',
'naming-convention': 'warn',
'dependency-direction': 'error',
'repository-pattern': 'error',
},
// Custom layer paths
layers: {
domain: 'src/core/domain',
application: 'src/core/application',
infrastructure: 'src/adapters',
shared: 'src/shared',
},
// Exclusions
exclude: [
'**/*.test.ts',
'**/*.spec.ts',
'scripts/',
'migrations/',
'node_modules/',
],
// Per-rule ignores
ignore: {
'hardcode/magic-numbers': {
'src/config/constants.ts': [3000, 8080],
},
},
}
```
#### 2. Built-in Presets
```javascript
// Preset: clean-architecture (default)
preset: 'clean-architecture'
// Enables: layer-violation, dependency-direction, naming-convention
// Preset: ddd
preset: 'ddd'
// Enables all DDD patterns: aggregates, value-objects, domain-events
// Preset: hexagonal (Ports & Adapters)
preset: 'hexagonal'
// Validates port/adapter separation
// Preset: minimal (for prototyping)
preset: 'minimal'
// Only critical rules: hardcode, circular-deps
```
#### 3. Framework-Specific Presets
```javascript
// NestJS
preset: 'nestjs-clean-architecture'
// Express
preset: 'express-clean-architecture'
// Next.js
preset: 'nextjs-clean-architecture'
```
#### 4. Configuration Discovery
Support multiple config file formats:
- `guardian.config.js` (ES modules)
- `guardian.config.cjs` (CommonJS)
- `.guardianrc` (JSON)
- `.guardianrc.json`
- `package.json` (`guardian` field)
#### 5. CLI Override
```bash
# Override config from CLI
guardian check ./src --rule hardcode/magic-numbers=off
# Use specific config file
guardian check ./src --config custom-config.js
# Generate config
guardian init --preset clean-architecture
```
### Implementation Tasks

**Priority:** 🚀 GAME-CHANGER (UNIQUE!)
> **Why Game-Changer:** No competitor has intelligent auto-fix for architecture. This makes Guardian unique!
### Features
#### 1. Auto-Fix Hardcode
```bash
# Fix all hardcode violations automatically
guardian fix ./src --auto
# Preview changes
guardian fix ./src --dry-run
# Fix specific types
guardian fix ./src --type hardcode
guardian fix ./src --type naming
```
**Example:**
```typescript
// Before
const timeout = 5000
app.listen(3000)
// After (auto-generated constants.ts)
export const DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS = 5000
export const DEFAULT_PORT = 3000
// After (fixed code)
import { DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS, DEFAULT_PORT } from './constants'
const timeout = DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS
app.listen(DEFAULT_PORT)
```
#### 2. Generate Constants File
```bash
# Extract all hardcodes to constants
guardian generate constants ./src --output src/config/constants.ts
# Generated file:
// src/config/constants.ts
export const DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS = 5000
export const DEFAULT_PORT = 3000
export const MAX_RETRIES = 3
export const API_BASE_URL = 'http://localhost:8080'
```
#### 3. Fix Naming Violations
```bash
# Rename files to match conventions
guardian fix naming ./src --auto
# Before: src/application/use-cases/user.ts
# After: src/application/use-cases/CreateUser.ts
```
#### 4. AI-Friendly Fix Prompts
```bash
# Generate prompt for AI assistant
guardian check ./src --format ai-prompt > fix-prompt.txt
# Output (optimized for Claude/GPT):
"""
Fix the following Guardian violations:
1. HARDCODE (src/api/server.ts:15)
- Replace: app.listen(3000)
- With: Extract 3000 to DEFAULT_PORT constant
- Location: Create src/config/constants.ts
2. FRAMEWORK_LEAK (src/domain/User.ts:5)
- Remove: import { Request } from 'express'
- Reason: Domain layer cannot import frameworks
- Suggestion: Use dependency injection via interfaces
[Complete fix suggestions...]
"""
# Then feed to Claude:
# cat fix-prompt.txt | pbcopy
# Paste into Claude: "Fix these Guardian violations"
```
#### 5. Interactive Fix Mode
```bash
# Interactive fix selection
guardian fix ./src --interactive
# Prompts:
# ? Fix hardcode in server.ts:15 (3000)? (Y/n)
# ? Suggested constant name: DEFAULT_PORT
# [Edit name] [Skip] [Fix All]
```
#### 6. Refactoring Commands
```bash
# Break circular dependency
guardian refactor circular ./src/services/UserService.ts
# Suggests: Extract shared interface
# Fix layer violation
guardian refactor layer ./src/domain/entities/User.ts
# Suggests: Move framework imports to infrastructure
```
### Implementation Tasks
