# Architectural Patterns

## 1. Plugin Structure
```
plugin-name/
├── src/
│   ├── main.ts              # Plugin entry point
│   ├── settings.ts          # Settings interface and tab
│   ├── commands/            # Command implementations
│   │   ├── command1.ts
│   │   └── command2.ts
│   ├── modals/              # Modal components
│   │   ├── InputModal.ts
│   │   └── SuggestModal.ts
│   ├── views/               # Custom views
│   │   └── CustomView.ts
│   ├── components/          # React components (if using React)
│   │   └── MyComponent.tsx
│   ├── services/            # Business logic
│   │   ├── ApiService.ts
│   │   └── DataService.ts
│   └── utils/               # Utility functions
│       └── helpers.ts
├── styles.css
├── manifest.json
├── package.json
├── tsconfig.json
└── esbuild.config.mjs
```

## 2. Separation of Concerns

### Main Plugin Class (main.ts)
```typescript
export default class MyPlugin extends Plugin {
  settings: MyPluginSettings;
  private apiService: ApiService;
  private dataService: DataService;

  async onload() {
    await this.loadSettings();

    // Initialize services
    this.apiService = new ApiService(this.settings);
    this.dataService = new DataService(this.app);

    // Register components
    this.registerCommands();
    this.registerViews();
    this.registerEvents();

    // Add settings tab
    this.addSettingTab(new MySettingTab(this.app, this));
  }

  private registerCommands() {
    this.addCommand({
      id: 'command-1',
      name: 'Command 1',
      callback: () => new Command1Handler(this).execute()
    });
  }

  private registerVie
