**Module System Principles:**
- **Dependency-Based Loading**: Modules loaded based on DOM presence (`data-module`)
- **Lazy Initialization**: Modules only loaded when needed
- **Dependency Management**: Automatic dependency resolution and initialization order
- **State Isolation**: Scoped state management per module
- **Error Boundaries**: Graceful error handling and module recovery
- **Performance Monitoring**: Built-in performance tracking and optimization

## Module Development Patterns

**Basic Module Structure:**
```javascript
// modules/notification-system/index.js
import { Logger } from '../../core/logger.js';
import { stateManager } from '../../core/StateManager.js';

// Module definition for dependency management
export const definition = {
    name: 'notification-system',
    version: '1.0.0',
    dependencies: ['api-manager'], // Depends on API manager
    provides: ['notifications'], // Provides notification service
    priority: 10 // Higher priority = later initialization
};

// Module state
let notificationState = null;
let notificationContainer = null;
let activeNotifications = new Map();

// Module initialization
export async function init(config = {}, scopedState) {
    Logger.info('[NotificationSystem] Initializing with config:', config);
    
    // Store scoped state reference
    notificationState = scopedState;
    
    // Set default configuration
    const defaultConfig = {
        position: 'top-right',
        maxNotifications: 5,
        defaultDuration: 5000,
        animationDuration: 300
    };
    
    const moduleConfig = { ...defaultConfig, ...config };
    
    // Create notification container
    createNotificationContainer(moduleConfig.position);
    
    // Set up event listeners
    setupEventListeners();
    
    // Register global notification service
    window.showNotification = (message, type = 'info', duration = moduleConfig.defaultDuration) => {
        return showNotification(message, type, duration);
    };
    
    // Subscribe to API events for automatic notifications
    if (window.apiManager) {
        window.apiManager.on('error', (error) => {
            showNotification(error.message, 'error');
        });
    }
    
    Logger.info('[NotificationSystem] Initialized successfully');
}

// Create notification container
function createNotificationContainer(position) {
    notificationContainer = document.createElement('div');
    notificationContainer.className = `notification-container notification-container--${position}`;

    // Store notification data
    activeNotifications.set(id, {
        element: notification,
        timer: duration > 0 ? setTimeout(() => hideNotification(id), duration) : null,
        pausedTime: null
    });
    
    // Add to container with animation
    notificationContainer.appendChild(notification);
    
    // Trigger entrance animation
    requestAnimationFrame(() => {

## Core System Integration

**StateManager Usage:**
```javascript
// Using StateManager for cross-module communication
import { stateManager } from '../core/StateManager.js';

export async function init(config, scopedState) {
    // Subscribe to global state changes
    stateManager.subscribe('user.authenticated', (isAuthenticated) => {
        if (isAuthenticated) {
            showAuthenticatedUI();
        } else {
            showGuestUI();
        }
    });
    
    // Update scoped state
    scopedState.update('initialized', true);
    scopedState.update('config', config);
}
```

**EventManager Integration:**
```javascript
// Using EventManager for module communication
import { EventManager } from '../core/EventManager.js';

const events = new EventManager();

// Emit events
events.emit('product-added-to-cart', { productId: '123', quantity: 2 });

// Listen for events
events.on('cart-updated', (cartData) => {
    updateCartDisplay(cartData);
});

// Use with throttling
events.throttle('scroll', handleScroll, 16); // ~60fps
```

**Performance Monitoring Integration:**
```javascript
// Using PerformanceMonitor
import { PerformanceMonitor } from '../core/PerformanceMonitor.js';

export async function init() {
    const monitor = PerformanceMonitor.start('module-init');
    
    // Heavy initialization work
    await performHeavyTask();
    
    monitor.end();
    
    // Mark important metrics
    PerformanceMonitor.mark('module-ready');
}
```

## Module Configuration and Optimization

**Module Configuration System:**
```javascript
// modules/config.js
export const moduleConfig = {
    'user-profile': {
        cacheTimeout: 5 * 60 * 1000, // 5 minutes
        autoSave: true,
        validationRules: {
            name: { required: true, minLength: 2 },
            email: { required: true, pattern: /^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$/ }
        }
    },
    'notification-system': {
        position: 'top-right',
        maxNotifications: 5,
        defaultDuration: 5000,
        showOnError: true,
        showOnSuccess: true
    },
    'api-manager': {
        baseURL: '/api',
        timeout: 10000,
        retryAttempts: 3,
        retryDelay: 1000
    }
};
```

**Performance Optimization Patterns:**
```javascript
// Lazy loading with intersection observer
export async function init() {
    const elements = document.querySelectorAll('[data-module="lazy-content"]');
    
    const observer = new IntersectionObserver(async (entries) => {
        for (const entry of entries) {
            if (entry.isIntersecting) {
                await loadContentForElement(entry.target);
                observer.unobserve(entry.target);
            }
        }
    }, { threshold: 0.1 });
    
    elements.forEach(el => observer.observe(el));
}

// Efficient event handling with delegation
document.addEventListener('click', (event) => {
    if (event.target.matches('[data-action="toggle-menu"]')) {
        toggleMenu(event.target);
    } else if (event.target.matches('[data-action="load-more"]')) {
        loadMoreContent(event.target);
    }
});

// Debounced resize handling
import { debounce } from '../utils/index.js';

const handleResize = debounce(() => {
    recalculateLayout();
}, 250);

window.addEventListener('resize', handleResize);
```

## JavaScript Development Best Practices

**Module Architecture Guidelines:**
- Follow dependency-based loading patterns
- Implement proper error boundaries and recovery
- Use scoped state management for module isolation
- Leverage core systems for common functionality
- Implement proper cleanup in destroy methods

**Performance Optimization:**
- Use intersection observers for lazy loading
- Implement efficient event delegation patterns
- Leverage requestAnimationFrame for smooth animations
- Use debouncing and throttling for performance-sensitive events
- Monitor performance with built-in PerformanceMonitor

**Error Handling:**
- Wrap modules with ModuleErrorBoundary
- Implement graceful degradation for failed modules
- Use proper error logging and reporting
- Provide user-friendly error messages
- Implement retry mechanisms for network operations

**Framework Integration:**
- Use `data-module` attributes for DOM binding
- Integrate with template system for dynamic content
- Leverage CSS classes for state management
- Follow accessibility best practices
- Implement proper SEO considerations for dynamic content

Your expertise ensures that JavaScript modules are scalable, maintainable, and performant while seamlessly integrating with the framework's template system, CSS architecture, and backend services.
