-# Frappe DocType Patterns
-
-Comprehensive guide to creating and configuring DocTypes in Frappe Framework, the core building block for all Frappe applications.
-
-## When to Use This Skill
-
-- Creating new DocTypes
-- Adding or modifying fields on DocTypes
-- Designing data models and relationships
-- Setting up naming patterns and autoname
-- Configuring permissions and workflows
-- Creating child tables
-- Working with Virtual or Single DocTypes
-
-## DocType Directory Structure
-
-When you create a DocType named "My Custom DocType" in module "My Module":
-
-```
-my_app/
-└── my_module/
-    └── doctype/
-        └── my_custom_doctype/
-            ├── my_custom_doctype.json      # DocType definition
-            ├── my_custom_doctype.py        # Python controller
-            ├── my_custom_doctype.js        # Client script
-            ├── test_my_custom_doctype.py   # Test file
-            └── __init__.py
-```
-

-## Controller Lifecycle Hooks
-
-```python
-# my_doctype.py
-import frappe
-from frappe.model.document import Document
-
-class MyDocType(Document):
-    # ===== BEFORE DATABASE OPERATIONS =====

-
-    def before_validate(self):
-        """Called before validate"""
-        pass
-
-    def before_save(self):
-        """Called before document is saved to database"""
-        self.modified_by_script = True
-

-
-    def calculate_totals(self):
-        self.total = sum(d.amount for d in self.items)
-```
-
-## Child Table (Table Field)
-
-### Parent DocType
-```json
-{
-  "fieldname": "items",
-  "fieldtype": "Table",
-  "label": "Items",
-  "options": "My DocType Item",
-  "reqd": 1
-}
-```
-
-### Child DocType JSON
-```json
-{
-  "name": "My DocType Item",
-  "module": "My Module",
-  "doctype": "DocType",
-  "istable": 1,
-  "editable_grid": 1,
-  "fields": [
-    {
-      "fieldname": "item",
-      "fieldtype": "Link",
-      "options": "Item",
-      "in_list_view": 1,
-      "reqd": 1
-    },
-    {
-      "fieldname": "qty",
-      "fieldtype": "Float",
-      "in_list_view": 1
-    },
-    {
-      "fieldname": "rate",
-      "fieldtype": "Currency",
-      "in_list_view": 1
-    },
-    {
-      "fieldname": "amount",
-      "fieldtype": "Currency",
-      "in_list_view": 1,
-      "read_only": 1
-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-## Single DocType (Settings)
-
-For application settings that have only one record:
-
-```json
-{
-  "name": "My App Settings",
-  "module": "My Module",
-  "doctype": "DocType",
-  "issingle": 1,
-  "fields": [
-    {
-      "fieldname": "enable_feature",
-      "fieldtype": "Check",
-      "label": "Enable Feature"
-    },
-    {
-      "fieldname": "api_key",
-      "fieldtype": "Password",
-      "label": "API Key"
-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-Access in code:
-```python
-settings = frappe.get_single("My App Settings")
-if settings.enable_feature:
-    do_something()
-```
-
-## Virtual DocType
-
-DocType without database table, computed on-the-fly:
-
-```json
-{
-  "name": "My Virtual DocType",
-  "module": "My Module",
-  "doctype": "DocType",
-  "is_virtual": 1
-}
-```
-
-Controller:
-```python
-class MyVirtualDocType(Document):
-    @staticmethod
-    def get_list(args):
-        # Return list of virtual documents
-        return [{"name": "doc1", "value": 100}]
-
-    @staticmethod
-    def get_count(args):
-        return len(MyVirtualDocType.get_list(args))
-
-    @staticmethod
-    def get_stats(args):
-        return {}
-```
-
-## Permissions
-
-```json
-{
-  "permissions": [
-    {
-      "role": "System Manager",
-      "read": 1,
-      "write": 1,
-      "create": 1,
-      "delete": 1,
-      "submit": 1,
-      "cancel": 1,
-      "amend": 1,
-      "report": 1,
-      "export": 1,
-      "import": 1,
-      "share": 1,
-      "print": 1,
-      "email": 1
-    },
-    {
-      "role": "Sales User",
-      "read": 1,
-      "write": 1,
-      "create": 1,
-      "if_owner": 1
-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### Naming Conventions (Strict English Only)
-- **CRITICAL**: **NEVER** use non-ASCII or accented characters (e.g., Vietnamese) in DocType names or fieldnames. This causes fatal SQL parsing errors in MariaDB/Frappe Insights.
-- **DocType Names**: English, singular, Title Case with spaces (e.g., "Sales Invoice", not "Hóa đơn bán hàng").
-- **Fieldnames**: English, `snake_case` (e.g., `customer_name`, not `tên_khách_hàng`).
-- **Localization**: Use the `label` field for non-English display text (e.g., `"fieldname": "violation_name", "label": "Tên vi phạm"`).
-
-### Field Design
-- Put most important fields first
-- Use Section Breaks to organize
-- Use Tab Breaks for complex forms
-- Set `in_list_view` for key fields
-- Set `in_standard_filter` for filterable fields
-
-### Performance
-- Index frequently queried fields with `search_index: 1`
-- Use `read_only` to prevent unnecessary validation
-- Limit child table rows with `max_attachments`
-
-### Data Integrity
-- Use `unique: 1` for unique constraints
-- Set appropriate `reqd` (required) flags
-- Use `depends_on` for conditional visibility
-- Use `mandatory_depends_on` for conditional requirements
-
-## Common Patterns
-
-### Status Field Pattern
-```json
-{
-  "fieldname": "status",
-  "fieldtype": "Select",
-  "options": "\nDraft\nPending Approval\nApproved\nRejected",
-  "default": "Draft",
-  "in_list_view": 1,
-  "in_standard_filter": 1,
-  "read_only": 1,
-  "allow_on_submit": 1
-}
-```
-
-### Amount Calculation Pattern
-```json
-[
-  {"fieldname": "qty", "fieldtype": "Float"},
-  {"fieldname": "rate", "fieldtype": "Currency"},
-  {"fieldname": "amount", "fieldtype": "Currency", "read_only": 1}
-]
-```
-With controller:
-```python
-def validate(self):
-    for item in self.items:
-        item.amount = flt(item.qty) * flt(item.rate)
-    self.total = sum(item.amount for item in self.items)
-```
-
-### Linked Document Pattern
-```json
-{
-  "fieldname": "customer",
-  "fieldtype": "Link",
-  "options": "Customer",
-  "reqd": 1
-},
-{
-  "fieldname": "customer_name",
-  "fieldtype": "Data",
-  "fetch_from": "customer.customer_name",
-  "read_only": 1
-}
-```
