Keeping quality up to par is good practice. Unfortunately, Appstore Apps often don't adhere to those rules. Therefore this idea.
Make it mandatory for Appstore Apps to:
I would love to see more quality checks on the AppstoreApps like sticking to naming_conventions, but these three requirements seem to be a good start.
I'm all for good quality code, but the examples given all don't contribute to quality of code..
- No warnings: Whenever you import a module it will need to be checked for compatibility anyway and translations. I could produce 1000's of terrible microflows with 0 warnings.
- Unused items are fine, if they are supposed to be used by your app.
- Excluded items are fine, you can always include them if you need them. For example I've excluded layouts and snippets or example microflows.
- Sanatization of input fields depends on the client's database, you can add all kinds of input fields and validations but once your client's database has added a "Please don't call me” in the phone number field you can clear it with a nice phonenumber regex and you're going to try and call them.
- Naming conventions is up to user's and company preference, like I've still not adopted the ACT_ because i hate the abbreviation ACT because it's an actual English word, to act, and in my list of DS, BSu, BSd, SUB_ OCh_ it doesn't fit. Nor does it auto complete properly in my brain. Action_Quote_Create, Action_Quote_Download is just meh… am I allowed to use these in microflow actions? No, you shouldn't. So yeah I stick to IVK_
