Lesson 1: The Local Loop

How do you use Sruja while you code?

1. The Blueprint

Keep architecture/main.sruja open in a split pane. It is your map. Before you create a new file or function, verify where it fits in the architecture.

2. Generating Boilerplate (Future)

Imagine running sruja gen to scaffold your Go microservices based on your container definitions. While this feature is in development, you can manually align your folder structure to your architecture.

src/
  orders/      # Matches 'container OrderService'
  inventory/   # Matches 'container InventoryService'

3. Local Validation

Before you commit, run:

sruja validate .

This checks for:

• Orphans: Components defined but never used.
• Broken Links: Relations pointing to non-existent elements.
• Policy Violations: Did you accidentally introduce a circular dependency?
