+
+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+**minfraud-api-node** is MaxMind's official Node.js/TypeScript client library for the minFraud web services:
+- **minFraud Score**: Returns a risk score (0.01-99) indicating fraud likelihood
+- **minFraud Insights**: Score + additional data about IP, email, device, and shipping/billing addresses
+- **minFraud Factors**: Insights + risk score reasons and subscores (deprecated)
+- **Report Transactions API**: Report transaction outcomes to improve fraud detection
+
+The library is server-side only and provides strongly-typed request/response models for fraud detection.
+
+**Key Technologies:**
+- TypeScript with strict type checking
+- Node.js 18+ (targets active LTS versions)
+- Uses Node.js built-in `fetch` for HTTP requests
+- Jest for testing
+- ESLint + Prettier for code quality
+- TypeDoc for API documentation
+- Depends on @maxmind/geoip2-node for IP geolocation data
+
+## Code Architecture
+
+### Package Structure
+
+```
+src/
+├── request/               # Transaction input models (Device, Email, Billing, etc.)
+│   ├── transaction.ts     # Main Transaction class that aggregates all inputs
+│   └── *.ts               # Individual request component classes
+├── response/
+│   ├── models/            # Response models (Score, Insights, Factors)
+│   ├── records.ts         # TypeScript interfaces for response data records
+│   └── web-records.ts     # Raw API response types (snake_case)
+├── webServiceClient.ts    # HTTP client for minFraud web services
+├── constants.ts           # Enums for API values (EventType, Processor, etc.)
+├── utils.ts               # Utility functions (camelCase/snake_case conversion)
+├── errors.ts              # Custom error classes
+└── types.ts               # Type definitions
+```
+
+### Key Design Patterns
+
+#### 1. **Request/Response Transformation**
+
+Requests use camelCase and are converted to snake_case for the API:
+```typescript
+// User provides: new Device({ ipAddress: '1.2.3.4' })
+// Sent to API: { ip_address: '1.2.3.4' }
+```
+
+Responses use snake_case and are converted to camelCase in model constructors:
+```typescript
+// API returns: { risk_score: 50, funds_remaining: 10.50 }
+// Model exposes: response.riskScore, response.fundsRemaining
+```
+
+The `camelizeResponse()` utility in `utils.ts` handles deep conversion for response data.
+The `snakecaseKeys()` utility converts request objects to snake_case.
+
+#### 2. **Model Inheritance Hierarchy**
+
+Response models follow clear inheritance:
+- `Score` → base model with risk score, disposition, warnings
+- `Insights` extends `Score` → adds billing/shipping addresses, device, email, credit card data
+- `Factors` extends `Insights` → adds risk score reasons and subscores (deprecated)
+
+#### 3. **Transaction Builder Pattern**
+
+Transactions are composed of optional components:
+```typescript
+const transaction = new minFraud.Transaction({
+  device: new minFraud.Device({ ipAddress: '1.2.3.4' }),
+  email: new minFraud.Email({ address: '[email protected]' }),
+  billing: new minFraud.Billing({ /* ... */ }),
+  // ... other components
+});
+```
+
+Each component validates its inputs in the constructor and throws `ArgumentError` for invalid data.
+
+#### 4. **Web Service Client Pattern**
+
+The `WebServiceClient` provides direct methods for each endpoint:
+```typescript
+const client = new WebServiceClient(accountID, licenseKey, timeout, host);
+const response = await client.score(transaction);
+const response = await client.insights(transaction);
+const response = await client.factors(transaction);
+await client.reportTransaction(report);
+```
+
+#### 5. **GeoIP2 Integration**
+
+The Insights and Factors responses include IP geolocation data from the @maxmind/geoip2-node library:
+```typescript
+// In Insights constructor:
+const insights = new GeoInsights(response.ip_address) as records.IpAddress;
+// Augment with minFraud-specific fields
+insights.country.isHighRisk = response.ip_address.country.is_high_risk;
+insights.risk = response.ip_address.risk;
+```
+
+## Testing Conventions
+
+### Running Tests
+
+```bash
+# Install dependencies
+npm install
+
+# Run all tests
+npm test
+
+# Run tests in watch mode
+npm run test:watch
+
+# Run specific test file
+npx jest src/webServiceClient.spec.ts
+```
+
+### Linting and Building
+
+```bash
+# Lint code (ESLint + TypeScript)
+npm run lint
+
+# Format code (Prettier)
+npm run prettier:ts
+npm run prettier:json
+
+# Build TypeScript
+npm run build
+
+# Build and deploy documentation
+npm run build:docs
+npm run deploy:docs
+```
+
+### Test Structure
+
+Tests use `.spec.ts` files co-located with source:
+- `src/webServiceClient.spec.ts` - Web service client tests
+- `src/request/*.spec.ts` - Request component tests
+- `src/response/models/*.spec.ts` - Response model tests
+- `src/utils.spec.ts` - Utility function tests
+- `e2e/` - End-to-end integration tests (JS and TS)
+
+### Test Patterns
+
+Tests typically use `nock` to mock HTTP responses:
+```typescript
+import nock from 'nock';
+
+nock('https://minfraud.maxmind.com')
+  .post('/minfraud/v2.0/score')
+  .reply(200, { risk_score: 50, id: '...', /* ... */ });
+
+const response = await client.score(transaction);
+expect(response.riskScore).toBe(50);
+```
+
+When adding new fields to models:
+1. Update test fixtures/mocks to include the new field
+2. Add assertions to verify the field is properly mapped
+3. Test both presence and absence (undefined handling)
+4. Verify camelCase conversion from snake_case source
+
+## Working with This Codebase
+
+### Adding New Fields to Request Components
+
+1. **Add the property** to the component class with validation:
+   ```typescript
+   /**
+    * Description of the field.
+    */
+   public fieldName?: Type;
+   ```
+
+2. **Update the constructor** if validation is needed:
+   ```typescript
+   if (props.fieldName && !isValid(props.fieldName)) {
+     throw new ArgumentError('Invalid fieldName');
+   }
+   this.fieldName = props.fieldName;
+   ```
+
+3. **Add to the interface** (e.g., `DeviceProps`, `EmailProps`) for type safety
+
+4. **Add tests** that verify validation and serialization
+
+5. **Update CHANGELOG.md** with the change
+
+### Adding New Fields to Response Models
+
+1. **Add the property** with proper type annotation:
+   ```typescript
+   /**
+    * Description of the field, including availability (which endpoints).
+    */
+   public readonly fieldName?: Type;
+   ```
+
+2. **Update the constructor** to map from the response:
+   ```typescript
+   // For simple fields:
+   this.fieldName = response.field_name;
+
+   // For nested objects that need camelization:
+   this.fieldName = this.maybeGet<records.FieldType>(response, 'field_name');
+   ```
+
+3. **Update corresponding record interfaces** in `records.ts` or `web-records.ts`
+
+4. **Add tests** that verify the field mapping and type
+
+5. **Update CHANGELOG.md** with the change
+
+### Adding New Constants/Enums
+
+When the API adds new enum values (e.g., new payment processors, event types):
+
+1. **Update `src/constants.ts`** with the new value:
+   ```typescript
+   export enum Processor {
+     Stripe = 'stripe',
+     NewProcessor = 'new_processor',
+     // ...
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Add tests** if the enum has validation logic
+
+3. **Update CHANGELOG.md** with the change
+
+### CHANGELOG.md Format
+
+Always update `CHANGELOG.md` for user-facing changes.
+
+**Important**: Do not add a date to changelog entries until release time.
+
+- If the next version doesn't exist, create it as `X.Y.Z (unreleased)` or just `X.Y.Z` (the header format varies)
+- If it already exists without a date, add your changes there
+- The release date will be added when the version is actually released
+
+```markdown
+8.2.0
+------------------
+
+* Added `NewProcessor` to the `Processor` enum.
+* Added the output `/email/first_seen`. This is available as the
+  `firstSeen` property on `response.email`.
+```
+
+## Common Pitfalls and Solutions
+
+### Problem: Incorrect snake_case to camelCase Mapping
+
+API responses use snake_case but must be exposed as camelCase.
+
+**Solution**: Use `camelizeResponse()` for nested objects:
+```typescript
+this.email = this.maybeGet<records.Email>(response, 'email');
+
+private maybeGet<T>(response: Response, prop: keyof Response): T | undefined {
+  return response[prop] ? (camelizeResponse(response[prop]) as T) : undefined;
+}
+```
+
+### Problem: Request Validation Not Working
+
+Request components should validate inputs in constructors.
+
+**Solution**: Import validators from the `validator` package:
+```typescript
+import validator from 'validator';
+
+if (!validator.isEmail(props.address)) {
+  throw new ArgumentError('Invalid email address');
+}
+```
+
+### Problem: Missing Error Handling
+
+The client can throw various error types.
+
+**Solution**: Check for error codes in catch blocks:
+```typescript
+try {
+  const response = await client.score(transaction);
+} catch (error) {
+  // error has shape: { code: string, error: string, url?: string }
+  if (error.code === 'INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS') {
+    // Handle insufficient funds
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Problem: GeoIP2 Type Conflicts
+
+The IP address data comes from @maxmind/geoip2-node and needs augmentation.
+
+**Solution**: Cast the GeoInsights object and add minFraud-specific fields:
+```typescript
+const insights = new GeoInsights(response.ip_address) as records.IpAddress;
+insights.risk = response.ip_address.risk;
+```
+
+## Code Style Requirements
+
+- **TypeScript strict mode** - All files use strict type checking
+- **ESLint** - Configured with TypeScript ESLint rules (see `eslint.config.mjs`)
+- **Prettier** - Consistent formatting enforced
+- **Readonly response fields** - Response model properties are `readonly`
+- **Optional chaining** - Use `?.` for optional nested properties
+- **TypeDoc comments** - Document public APIs with JSDoc-style comments
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+### Setup
+```bash
+npm install
+```
+
+### Before Committing
+```bash
+# Tidy code (auto-fix issues)
+precious tidy -g
+
+# Lint code (check for issues)
+precious lint -g
+
+# Run tests
+npm test
+
+# Build
+npm run build
+```
+
+Note: Precious is already set up and handles code formatting and linting. Use `precious tidy -g` to automatically fix issues, and `precious lint -g` to check for remaining problems.
+
+### Version Requirements
+- **Node.js 18+** required (targets active LTS: 18, 20, 22)
+- Uses Node.js built-in `fetch` (no external HTTP libraries)
+- TypeScript 5.x
+
+## Cross-Language Consistency
+
+This library is part of MaxMind's multi-language client library ecosystem. When adding features:
+
+- **Field names** should match other client libraries (PHP, Python, etc.) after camelCase conversion
+- **Model structure** should parallel other implementations where possible
+- **Error handling** patterns should be consistent
+- **Documentation style** should follow established patterns
+
+Refer to other minFraud client implementations for guidance on new features.
