## Key Components
### Step 1: Client Wrapper
```typescript
// src/coderabbit/client.ts
export class CodeRabbitService {
private client: CodeRabbitClient;
private cache: Cache;
private monitor: Monitor;
constructor(config: CodeRabbitConfig) {
this.client = new CodeRabbitClient(config);
this.cache = new Cache(config.cacheOptions);
this.monitor = new Monitor('coderabbit');
}
async get(id: string): Promise {
return this.cache.getOrFetch(id, () =>
this.monitor.track('get', () => this.client.get(id))
);
}
}
```
### Step 2: Error Boundary
```typescript
// src/coderabbit/errors.ts
export class CodeRabbitServiceError extends Error {
constructor(
message: string,
public readonly code: string,
public readonly retryable: boolean,
public readonly originalError?: Error
) {
super(message);
this.name = 'CodeRabbitServiceError';
}
}
export function wrapCodeRabbitError(error: unknown): CodeRabbitServiceError {
// Transform SDK errors to application errors
}
```
### Step 3: Health Check
```typescript
// src/coderabbit/health.ts
export async function checkCodeRabbitHealth(): Promise {
try {
const start = Date.now();
await coderabbitClient.ping();
return {
status: 'healthy',
latencyMs: Date.now() - start,
};
} catch (error) {
return { status: 'unhealthy', error: error.message };
}
}
```

## Configuration Management
```typescript
// config/coderabbit.ts
export interface CodeRabbitConfig {
apiKey: string;
environment: 'development' | 'staging' | 'production';
timeout: number;
retries: number;
cache: {
enabled: boolean;
ttlSeconds: number;
};
}
export function loadCodeRabbitConfig(): CodeRabbitConfig {
const env = process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development';
return require(`./coderabbit.${env}.json`);
}
```
## Instructions
### Step 1: Create Directory Structure
Set up the project layout following the reference structure above.
### Step 2: Implement Client Wrapper
Create the singleton client with caching and monitoring.
### Step 3: Add Error Handling
Implement custom error classes for CodeRabbit operations.
### Step 4: Configure Health Checks
Add health check endpoint for CodeRabbit connectivity.
## Output
- Structured project layout
- Client wrapper with caching
- Error boundary implemented
- Health checks configured
## Error Handling
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| Circular dependencies | Wrong layering | Separate concerns by layer |
| Config not loading | Wrong paths | Verify config file locations |
| Type errors | Missing types | Add CodeRabbit types |
| Test isolation | Shared state | Use dependency injection |
## Examples
### Quick Setup Script
```bash
# Create reference structure
mkdir -p src/coderabbit/{handlers} src/services/coderabbit src/api/coderabbit
touch src/coderabbit/{client,config,types,errors}.ts
touch src/services/coderabbit/{index,sync,cache}.ts
```
