# TDD Session: Feature Implementation

Complete TDD session implementing user authentication feature from scratch.

## Session Setup

**Feature**: User authentication with email/password
**Tech Stack**: TypeScript, Bun, discriminated unions for results
**Starting Point**: No existing code
**Duration**: ~45 minutes (3 RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycles)

## Task State Tracking

Initial todos:

```text
1. Write failing test for user authentication [in_progress]
2. Implement authentication to pass tests [pending]
3. Refactor authentication code [pending]
4. Verify implementation [pending]
```

## Cycle 1: Basic Authentication

### RED Phase (5 min)

Starting confidence: `▓░░░░` → Writing tests to define interface

**Created**: `src/auth/authenticate.test.ts`

```typescript
import { describe, test, expect } from 'bun:test'
import { authenticate } from './authenticate'

describe('authenticate', () => {
  const validCreds = {
    email: 'user@example.com',
    password: 'ValidPass123!',
  } as const

  test('returns success result with valid credentials', async () => {
    const result = await authenticate(validCreds)

    expect(result.type).toBe('success')
    if (result.type === 'success') {
      expect(result.user.email).toBe(validCreds.email)
    }
  })

  test('returns error result with invalid credentials', async () => {
    const result = await authenticate({
      email: 'wrong@example.com',
      password: 'wrong',
    })

    expect(result.type).toBe('error')
    if (result.type === 'error') {
      expect(result.code).toBe('INVALID_CREDENTIALS')
    }
  })

  test('returns error result with empty password', async () => {
    const result = await authenticate({
      email: 'user@example.com',
      password: '',
    })

    expect(result.type).toBe('error')
    if (result.type === 'error') {
      expect(result.code).toBe('MISSING_PASSWORD')
    }
  })
})
```

**Run tests**: `bun test`

```
authenticate
  ✗ returns success result with valid credentials
    Error: Cannot find module "./authenticate"
  ✗ returns error result with invalid credentials
  ✗ returns error result with empty password

3 failing
```

Tests fail as expected — no implementation exists yet.

**Commit**: `test: add failing tests for user authentication`

**Task Update**:

```text
1. Write failing test for user authentication [completed]
2. Implement authentication to pass tests [in_progress]
3. Refactor authentication code [pending]
4. Verify implementation [pending]
```

### GREEN Phase (8 min)

Confidence: `▓▓░░░` → Implementing minimal solution

**Created**: `src/auth/authenticate.ts`

```typescript
type User = {
  id: string
  email: string
  passwordHash: string
}

type AuthSuccess = {
  type: 'success'
  user: User
}

type AuthError = {
  type: 'error'
  code: 'INVALID_CREDENTIALS' | 'MISSING_PASSWORD'
}

type AuthResult = AuthSuccess | AuthError

// Minimal mock database
const users: User[] = [
  {
    id: '1',
    email: 'user@example.com',
    passwordHash: '$2a$10$hashedValidPass123!',
  },
]

async function findUserByEmail(email: string): Promise<User | undefined> {
  return users.find(u => u.email === email)
}

async function comparePassword(password: string, hash: string): Promise<boolean> {
  // Simplified for testing - in production use bcrypt
  return password === 'ValidPass123!' && hash === '$2a$10$hashedValidPass123!'
}

export async function authenticate(credentials: {
  email: string
  password: string
}): Promise<AuthResult> {
  // Check password not empty
  if (!credentials.password) {
    return { type: 'error', code: 'MISSING_PASSWORD' }
  }

  // Find user
  const user = await findUserByEmail(credentials.email)
  if (!user) {
    return { type: 'error', code: 'INVALID_CREDENTIALS' }
  }

  // Verify password
  const passwordMatch = await comparePassword(credentials.password, user.passwordHash)
  if (!passwordMatch) {
    return { type: 'error', code: 'INVALID_CREDENTIALS' }
  }

  return { type: 'success', user }
}
```

**Run tests**: `bun test`

```
authenticate
  ✓ returns success result with valid credentials
  ✓ returns error result with invalid credentials
  ✓ returns error result with empty password

3 passing
```

All tests pass — implementation complete.

**Commit**: `feat: implement user authentication to pass tests`

**Task Update**:

```text
1. Write failing test for user authentication [completed]
2. Implement authentication to pass tests [completed]
3. Refactor authentication code [in_progress]
4. Verify implementation [pending]
```

### REFACTOR Phase (7 min)

Confidence: `▓▓▓░░` → Improving structure and types

Observations:
- Types scattered throughout file
- Password comparison hardcoded
- No clear separation of concerns

**Refactored**: `src/auth/authenticate.ts`

```typescript
// Extract types to top
type User = {
  id: string
  email: string
  passwordHash: string
}

type AuthSuccess = {
  type: 'success'
  user: User
}

type AuthError = {
  type: 'error'
  code: 'INVALID_CREDENTIALS' | 'MISSING_PASSWORD' | 'INVALID_EMAIL'
}

type AuthResult = AuthSuccess | AuthError

// Extract validation
function validateCredentials(credentials: {
  email: string
  password: string
}): AuthError | null {
  if (!credentials.password) {
    return { type: 'error', code: 'MISSING_PASSWORD' }
  }
  if (!credentials.email.includes('@')) {
    return { type: 'error', code: 'INVALID_EMAIL' }
  }
  return null
}

// Mock database (unchanged)
const users: User[] = [
  {
    id: '1',
    email: 'user@example.com',
    passwordHash: '$2a$10$hashedValidPass123!',
  },
]

async function findUserByEmail(email: string): Promise<User | undefined> {
  return users.find(u => u.email === email)
}

// Extract password verification
async function verifyPassword(password: string, hash: string): Promise<boolean> {
  // Simplified for testing - in production use bcrypt
  return password === 'ValidPass123!' && hash === '$2a$10$hashedValidPass123!'
}

// Cleaner main function
export async function authenticate(credentials: {
  email: string
  password: string
}): Promise<AuthResult> {
  // Validate input
  const validationError = validateCredentials(credentials)
  if (validationError) {
    return validationError
  }

  // Find user
  const user = await findUserByEmail(credentials.email)
  if (!user) {
    return { type: 'error', code: 'INVALID_CREDENTIALS' }
  }

  // Verify password
  const isValid = await verifyPassword(credentials.password, user.passwordHash)
  if (!isValid) {
    return { type: 'error', code: 'INVALID_CREDENTIALS' }
  }

  return { type: 'success', user }
}
```

**Run tests**: `bun test`

```
authenticate
  ✓ returns success result with valid credentials
  ✓ returns error result with invalid credentials
  ✓ returns error result with empty password

3 passing
```

Tests still pass — refactoring successful.

**Commit**: `refactor: extract validation and password verification`

**Task Update**:

```text
1. Write failing test for user authentication [completed]
2. Implement authentication to pass tests [completed]
3. Refactor authentication code [completed]
4. Verify implementation [in_progress]
```

### VERIFY Phase (3 min)

Run full test suite with coverage:

```bash
bun test --coverage
```

```
authenticate
  ✓ returns success result with valid credentials
  ✓ returns error result with invalid credentials
  ✓ returns error result with empty password

Coverage:
  File              | % Stmts | % Branch | % Funcs | % Lines
  ------------------|---------|----------|---------|--------
  authenticate.ts   |   95.45 |    100   |   100   |   95.45

3 passing
```

Coverage ≥80% — quality standards met.

**Task Update**:

```text
1. Write failing test for user authentication [completed]
2. Implement authentication to pass tests [completed]
3. Refactor authentication code [completed]
4. Verify implementation [completed]
```

## Cycle 2: Email Validation

Starting new cycle for email validation edge cases.

**Task Update**:

```text
1. Write failing test for email validation [in_progress]
2. Implement email validation to pass tests [pending]
3. Refactor email validation [pending]
4. Verify implementation [pending]
```

### RED Phase (4 min)

Add tests for email validation edge cases:

```typescript
describe('authenticate - email validation', () => {
  test('returns error for invalid email format', async () => {
    const result = await authenticate({
      email: 'not-an-email',
      password: 'ValidPass123!',
    })

    expect(result.type).toBe('error')
    if (result.type === 'error') {
      expect(result.code).toBe('INVALID_EMAIL')
    }
  })

  test('returns error for empty email', async () => {
    const result = await authenticate({
      email: '',
      password: 'ValidPass123!',
    })

    expect(result.type).toBe('error')
    if (result.type === 'error') {
      expect(result.code).toBe('INVALID_EMAIL')
    }
  })
})
```

**Run tests**: `bun test`

```
authenticate - email validation
  ✓ returns error for invalid email format  # Already passes!
  ✗ returns error for empty email
    Expected code: 'INVALID_EMAIL'
    Received code: 'MISSING_PASSWORD'

1 failing
```

One test passes (basic email check exists), one fails.

**Commit**: `test: add email validation edge case tests`

### GREEN Phase (3 min)

Update validation to handle empty email:

```typescript
function validateCredentials(credentials: {
  email: string
  password: string
}): AuthError | null {
  if (!credentials.email) {
    return { type: 'error', code: 'INVALID_EMAIL' }
  }
  if (!credentials.password) {
    return { type: 'error', code: 'MISSING_PASSWORD' }
  }
  if (!credentials.email.includes('@')) {
    return { type: 'error', code: 'INVALID_EMAIL' }
  }
  return null
}
```

**Run tests**: `bun test`

```
authenticate - email validation
  ✓ returns error for invalid email format
  ✓ returns error for empty email

All tests passing (5 total)
```

**Commit**: `feat: validate empty email addresses`

### REFACTOR Phase (4 min)

Extract email validation to dedicated function:

```typescript
function isValidEmail(email: string): boolean {
  return email.length > 0 && email.includes('@')
}

function validateCredentials(credentials: {
  email: string
  password: string
}): AuthError | null {
  if (!isValidEmail(credentials.email)) {
    return { type: 'error', code: 'INVALID_EMAIL' }
  }
  if (!credentials.password) {
    return { type: 'error', code: 'MISSING_PASSWORD' }
  }
  return null
}
```

**Run tests**: `bun test` — All passing

**Commit**: `refactor: extract email validation function`

### VERIFY Phase (2 min)

```bash
bun test --coverage
```

Coverage: 96.2% — excellent.

## Cycle 3: Rate Limiting

Implementing rate limiting for failed authentication attempts.

### RED Phase (6 min)

Add tests for rate limiting:

```typescript
describe('authenticate - rate limiting', () => {
  test('allows authentication after successful login', async () => {
    const validCreds = {
      email: 'user@example.com',
      password: 'ValidPass123!',
    }

    const result1 = await authenticate(validCreds)
    const result2 = await authenticate(validCreds)

    expect(result1.type).toBe('success')
    expect(result2.type).toBe('success')
  })

  test('blocks authentication after 3 failed attempts', async () => {
    const invalidCreds = {
      email: 'user@example.com',
      password: 'wrong',
    }

    // 3 failed attempts
    await authenticate(invalidCreds)
    await authenticate(invalidCreds)
    await authenticate(invalidCreds)

    // 4th attempt should be rate limited
    const result = await authenticate(invalidCreds)

    expect(result.type).toBe('error')
    if (result.type === 'error') {
      expect(result.code).toBe('RATE_LIMITED')
    }
  })
})
```

**Run tests**: `bun test` — Rate limit tests fail as expected

**Commit**: `test: add rate limiting tests`

### GREEN Phase (10 min)

Implement basic rate limiting:

```typescript
type AuthError = {
  type: 'error'
  code: 'INVALID_CREDENTIALS' | 'MISSING_PASSWORD' | 'INVALID_EMAIL' | 'RATE_LIMITED'
}

// Track failed attempts
const failedAttempts = new Map<string, number>()

function incrementFailedAttempts(email: string): void {
  const current = failedAttempts.get(email) || 0
  failedAttempts.set(email, current + 1)
}

function resetFailedAttempts(email: string): void {
  failedAttempts.delete(email)
}

function isRateLimited(email: string): boolean {
  const attempts = failedAttempts.get(email) || 0
  return attempts >= 3
}

export async function authenticate(credentials: {
  email: string
  password: string
}): Promise<AuthResult> {
  // Check rate limiting first
  if (isRateLimited(credentials.email)) {
    return { type: 'error', code: 'RATE_LIMITED' }
  }

  // Validate input
  const validationError = validateCredentials(credentials)
  if (validationError) {
    return validationError
  }

  // Find user
  const user = await findUserByEmail(credentials.email)
  if (!user) {
    incrementFailedAttempts(credentials.email)
    return { type: 'error', code: 'INVALID_CREDENTIALS' }
  }

  // Verify password
  const isValid = await verifyPassword(credentials.password, user.passwordHash)
  if (!isValid) {
    incrementFailedAttempts(credentials.email)
    return { type: 'error', code: 'INVALID_CREDENTIALS' }
  }

  // Reset on success
  resetFailedAttempts(credentials.email)
  return { type: 'success', user }
}
```

**Run tests**: `bun test` — All 7 tests passing

**Commit**: `feat: implement rate limiting for failed authentication`

### REFACTOR Phase (6 min)

Extract rate limiting to separate module for testability:

**Created**: `src/auth/rate-limiter.ts`

```typescript
export class RateLimiter {
  private attempts = new Map<string, number>()

  constructor(private maxAttempts: number = 3) {}

  increment(key: string): void {
    const current = this.attempts.get(key) || 0
    this.attempts.set(key, current + 1)
  }

  reset(key: string): void {
    this.attempts.delete(key)
  }

  isLimited(key: string): boolean {
    const attempts = this.attempts.get(key) || 0
    return attempts >= this.maxAttempts
  }
}
```

Update `authenticate.ts` to use class:

```typescript
import { RateLimiter } from './rate-limiter'

const rateLimiter = new RateLimiter(3)

export async function authenticate(credentials: {
  email: string
  password: string
}): Promise<AuthResult> {
  // Check rate limiting first
  if (rateLimiter.isLimited(credentials.email)) {
    return { type: 'error', code: 'RATE_LIMITED' }
  }

  // ... rest unchanged ...

  // On failure
  if (!isValid) {
    rateLimiter.increment(credentials.email)
    return { type: 'error', code: 'INVALID_CREDENTIALS' }
  }

  // On success
  rateLimiter.reset(credentials.email)
  return { type: 'success', user }
}
```

**Run tests**: `bun test` — All passing

**Commit**: `refactor: extract rate limiter to separate class`
