# oRPC Contract-First Development
## Project Structure
```
web/contract/
├── base.ts # Base contract (inputStructure: 'detailed')
├── router.ts # Router composition & type exports
├── marketplace.ts # Marketplace contracts
└── console/ # Console contracts by domain
├── system.ts
└── billing.ts
```
## Workflow
1. **Create contract** in `web/contract/console/{domain}.ts`
- Import `base` from `../base` and `type` from `@orpc/contract`
- Define route with `path`, `method`, `input`, `output`
2. **Register in router** at `web/contract/router.ts`
- Import directly from domain file (no barrel files)
- Nest by API prefix: `billing: { invoices, bindPartnerStack }`
3. **Create hooks** in `web/service/use-{domain}.ts`
- Use `consoleQuery.{group}.{contract}.queryKey()` for query keys
- Use `consoleClient.{group}.{contract}()` for API calls
## Key Rules
- **Input structure**: Always use `{ params, query?, body? }` format
- **Path params**: Use `{paramName}` in path, match in `params` object
- **Router nesting**: Group by API prefix (e.g., `/billing/*` → `billing: {}`)
- **No barrel files**: Import directly from specific files
- **Types**: Import from `@/types/`, use `type<T>()` helper
## Type Export
```typescript
export type ConsoleInputs = InferContractRouterInputs<typeof consoleRouterContract>
```
