feature-slicing（特征切片）

Feature-Sliced Design Architecture

Frontend architecture methodology with strict layer hierarchy and import rules for scalable, maintainable applications. FSD organizes code by business domain rather than technical role.

Official Docs: feature-sliced.design | GitHub: feature-sliced

THE IMPORT RULE (Critical)

Modules can ONLY import from layers strictly below them. Never sideways or upward.

app → pages → widgets → features → entities → shared
 ↓      ↓        ↓          ↓          ↓         ✓
 ✓      ✓        ✓          ✓          ✓      (external only)

Exception: app/ and shared/ have no slices, so internal cross-imports are allowed within them.

Layer Hierarchy

Minimal setup: app/, pages/, shared/ — add other layers as complexity grows.

Quick Decision Trees

"Where does this code go?"

Code Placement:
├─ App-wide config, providers, routing    → app/
├─ Full page / route component            → pages/
├─ Complex reusable UI block              → widgets/
├─ User action with business value        → features/
├─ Business domain object (data model)    → entities/
└─ Reusable, domain-agnostic code         → shared/

"Feature or Entity?"

Rule: Entities represent THINGS with identity. Features represent ACTIONS with side effects.

"Which segment?"

Segments (within a slice):
├─ ui/      → React components, styles
├─ api/     → Backend calls, data fetching, DTOs
├─ model/   → Types, schemas, stores, business logic
├─ lib/     → Slice-specific utilities
└─ config/  → Feature flags, constants

Naming: Use purpose-driven names (api/, model/) not essence-based (hooks/, types/).

Public API Pattern

Every slice MUST expose a public API via index.ts. External code imports ONLY from this file.

// entities/user/index.ts
export { UserCard } from './ui/UserCard';
export { UserAvatar } from './ui/UserAvatar';
export { getUser, updateUser } from './api/userApi';
export type { User, UserRole } from './model/types';
export { userSchema } from './model/schema';

// ✅ Correct
import { UserCard, type User } from '@/entities/user';

// ❌ Wrong
import { UserCard } from '@/entities/user/ui/UserCard';

Avoid wildcard exports — they expose internals and harm tree-shaking:

// ❌
export * from './ui';

// ✅
export { UserCard } from './ui/UserCard';

Cross-Entity References (@x Notation)

When entities legitimately reference each other, use the @x notation:

entities/
├── product/
│   ├── @x/
│   │   └── order.ts    # API specifically for order entity
│   └── index.ts
└── order/
    └── model/types.ts  # Imports from product/@x/order

// entities/product/@x/order.ts
export type { ProductId } from '../model/types';

// entities/order/model/types.ts
import type { ProductId } from '@/entities/product/@x/order';

Guidelines: Keep cross-imports minimal. Consider merging entities if references are extensive.
