## Project Overview
|
|
|
|
### Mission Statement
|
|
MetaBuilder is a **declarative, data-driven, multi-tenant application platform** where 95% of functionality is defined through JSON and Lua, not TypeScript. The platform features a 5-level architecture with advanced meta-programming capabilities, functioning as a "platform for building platforms."
|
|
|
|
### Complexity Classification
|
|
**Complex Application** with meta-programming capabilities. Levels 4-5 procedurally generate Levels 1-3 from pure data definitions stored in a modular seed system.
|
|
|
|
### Core Philosophy
|
|
- **Declarative First**: Everything from pages to workflows defined as data
|
|
- **Modular**: Clear separation of concerns with isolated, maintainable modules
|
|
- **Scalable**: Architecture supports massive applications without unwieldy growth
|
|
- **Procedural**: UI and logic generated from configuration, not hardcoded files
|
|
|

|
|
## Architecture & Design
|
|
|
|
### 5-Level Architecture
|
|
|
|
The platform implements a hierarchical level system with progressive access and capabilities:
|
|
|
|
| Level | Role | Purpose | Access | Key Features |
|
|
|-------|------|---------|--------|--------------|
|
|
| **L1** | Public | Landing page & login | All users | Public information, login interface |
|
|
| **L2** | User | Dashboard & user tools | Authenticated users | Personal dashboard, user settings |
|
|
| **L3** | Admin | Admin panel | Admin role users | System administration, user mgmt |
|
|
| **L4** | God | Builder & IDE | God role users | Visual page builder, full code access |
|
|
| **L5** | SuperGod | Multi-tenant management | SuperGod role | Tenant creation, power transfer, cross-level preview |
|
|
|
|
### Multi-Tenant System
|
|
|
|
Complete multi-tenant support implemented with:
|
|
|
|
- **Tenant Isolation**: Namespace-based data separation for all resources
|
|
- **Blob Storage**: Multi-tenant file storage with access control and quotas
|
|
- **Structured Data**: User/page/KV/list data scoped to tenants
|
|
- **Access Control**: Role-based permissions (owner, admin, member, viewer)
|
|
- **Storage Quotas**: Limits on blob storage, record counts, data size, list length
|
|
- **Components**:
|
|
- `TenantIdentity`: User identity within a tenant
|
|
- `TenantQuota`: Resource limits and usage tracking
|
|
- `TenantContext`: Context for all operations
|
|
- `TenantManager`: Manages tenants, quotas, usage
|
|
|
|
### Atomic Design Pattern
|
|
|
|
Components organized into three categories following atomic design principles:
|
|
|
|
**Atoms** (~12 components)
|
|
- Basic UI elements from shadcn/ui
|
|
- Buttons, inputs, labels, badges, avatars
|
|
- Stateless or minimal state
|
|
- Location: `src/components/atoms/`
|
|
|
|
**Molecules** (~10 components)
|
|
- Groups of 2-5 atoms functioning together
|
|
- Simple composites with single purpose
|
|
- Examples: form fields, search bars, card headers
|
|
- Location: `src/components/molecules/`
|
|
|
|
**Organisms** (~40+ components)
|
|
- Complex components forming distinct sections
|
|
- May contain business logic
|
|
- Examples: data tables, forms, editors, IDE
|
|
- Location: `src/components/organisms/`
|
|
|
|
**Pages/Levels** (5 components)
|
|
- Top-level page components (remain at root)
|
|
- Level1 through Level5 components
|
|
- Location: `src/components/`
|
|
|

### Design Principles
|
|
|
|
1. **Language Agnostic**: API contracts defined in YAML
|
|
2. **Security First**: C++ daemon sandboxes database access
|
|
3. **Development Speed**: TypeScript for rapid iteration
|
|
4. **Zero Trust**: User code never touches DB credentials
|
|
5. **Capability-based**: Adapters declare support (transactions, joins, etc.)
|
|
6. **Testable**: Shared test vectors ensure behavioral consistency
|
|
|
|

|
|
- **Performance**: Size limit enforcement
|
|
|
|
### Database Migration Path
|
|
|
|
1. Generate Prisma client: `npm run db:generate`
|
|
2. Apply schema: `npm run db:push`
|
|
3. Run migrations: `npm run db:migrate` (CI/production)
|
|
|
|
### Seed Data System
|
|
|
|
- Located in `/src/seed-data/` and package directories
|
|
- Loaded at application initialization
|
|
- Package-based organization for modularity
|
|
- Supports multi-tenant data initialization
|
|
|

|
## Known Issues & Refactoring Needs
|
|
|
|
### High Priority
|
|
|
|
#### 1. Component Size Violations
|
|
- 8 components exceed 150 LOC architectural limit
|
|
- 4,146 total LOC over limits
|
|
- **Action**: Systematic refactoring with decomposition strategy
|
|
- **Timeline**: 3 weeks, ~103 hours
|
|
- **Impact**: Improved modularity, testability, maintainability
|
|
|
|
#### 2. State Management Scatter
|
|
- Business logic scattered across multiple useState hooks
|
|
- Duplicated state management patterns
|
|
- **Action**: Extract to custom hooks and database persistence
|
|
- **Pattern**: One hook per major feature
|
|
|
|
#### 3. Ephemeral State vs Persistent Data
|
|
- Component state lost on page reload
|
|
- Should be database-persisted for:
|
|
- Editor content (LuaEditor, CodeEditor, SchemaEditor)
|
|
- Workflow configurations
|
|
- GitHub Actions cache
|
|
- **Action**: Implement Prisma models for persistent storage
|
|
|
|
#### 4. Hardcoded Configurations
|
|
- Colors, column definitions, UI configs in components
|
|
- **Action**: Move to JSON in database or seed files
|
|
- **Benefit**: Runtime changes without code deployment
|
|
|
|
### Medium Priority
|
|
|
|
#### 5. GitHub Actions Integration Complexity
|
|
- GitHubActionsFetcher: 887 LOC with multiple responsibilities
|
|
- Components: API fetching, polling, log aggregation, AI analysis
|
|
- **Refactoring Strategy**:
|
|
- Create custom hook: `useGitHubActions()` (~50 LOC)
|
|
- Separate components for tabs/views (~65-85 LOC each)
|
|
- Extract log aggregation to Lua script
|
|
- Move analysis cache to Prisma model
|
|
|
|
#### 6. IDE Implementation Incomplete
|
|
- NerdModeIDE: 733 LOC, partial implementation
|
|
- Missing: File tree, Git integration, test runner, debugging
|
|
- **Strategy**: Componentize into smaller focused modules
|
|
|
|
#### 7. Lua Editor Missing Features
|
|
- LuaEditor: 686 LOC, lacks snippet system integration
|
|
- No persistent script storage
|
|
- **Action**: Create LuaSnippetLibrary organism, database models
|
|
|
|
### Low Priority
|
|
|
|
#### 8. Package System Incomplete
|
|
- Pre-built packages not implemented
|
|
- Import/export needs UI polish
|
|
- Asset handling incomplete
|
|
|

## Security Implementation
|
|
|
|
### Multi-Layer Security Architecture
|
|
|
|
#### Layer 1: ACL (Access Control Layer)
|
|
- **Role-based permissions**: user, admin, god, supergod
|
|
- **Operation-level authorization**: create, read, update, delete, list
|
|
- **Row-level security**: Users can only access their own data
|
|
- **Configuration**: Pre-configured rules for all entities
|
|
|
|
#### Layer 2: Audit Logging
|
|
- **Event Logging**: All operations logged with:
|
|
- User context and timestamp
|
|
- Operation type and entity
|
|
- Input parameters (sensitive data excluded)
|
|
- Success/failure status
|
|
- Error messages
|
|
- **Compliance**: Audit trail for compliance requirements
|
|
|
|
#### Layer 3: Credential Security
|
|
- **SHA-512 Hashing**: All passwords stored as salted hashes
|
|
- **Never Plaintext**: Credentials never logged or transmitted
|
|
- **Token-based Sessions**: Secure session tokens for API access
|
|
|
|
#### Layer 4: Input Validation
|
|

## Key Integration Points
|
|
|
|
### 1. DBAL Integration with MetaBuilder
|
|
|
|
**Import pattern:**
|
|
```typescript
|
|
import { getDBALClient } from '@/lib/dbal-client'
|
|
|
|
const client = getDBALClient(currentUser, session)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Usage:**
|
|
```typescript
|
|
// CRUD operations
|
|
const user = await client.users.create({ ... })
|
|
const users = await client.users.list({ filter: {...} })
|
|
await client.users.update(id, {...})
|
|
await client.users.delete(id)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2. Component Registration System
|
|
|
|
Components registered in package catalog with:
|
|
- JSON configuration
|
|
- Lua scripts for behavior
|
|
- Property schema definitions
|
|
- UI layout definitions
|
|
|
|
### 3. Workflow Engine
|
|
|
|
Workflows stored as JSON with:
|
|
- Node definitions
|
|
- Edge connections
|
|
- Lua script integration
|
|
- Execution context
|
|
|
|
### 4. Package System
|
|
|
|
Each package contains:
|
|
- Seed data directory
|
|
- Components (JSON + Lua)
|
|
- Scripts and utilities
|
|
- Static content (assets)
|
|
- Manifest with metadata
|

|
|
2. **State Management**: Logic scattered across multiple useState hooks
|
|
3. **Data Persistence**: Editor content and configurations should be persistent
|
|
4. **Configuration Hardcoding**: UI configs should be data-driven
|
|
5. **Feature Completeness**: Package system and IDE incomplete
|
|
6. **Documentation Fragmentation**: Many separate docs could be consolidated
|
|
|
|
### Immediate Action Items 📋
|
|
|
|
1. **High Priority**: Refactor components to meet 150 LOC limit
|
|
2. **High Priority**: Implement persistent storage for editor content
|
|
3. **Medium Priority**: Complete package system implementation
|
|
4. **Medium Priority**: Finish IDE and nerd mode features
|
|
5. **Low Priority**: Consolidate documentation
|
|
6. **Low Priority**: Add more pre-built packages
|
|
|
|
### Recommendations 💡
|
|
|
|
1. **Follow Refactoring Strategy**: Use the documented 3-week plan for component refactoring
|
|
2. **Leverage DBAL**: Fully utilize database abstraction for persistent storage
|
|
3. **Implement Hooks Pattern**: Extract business logic into reusable custom hooks
|
|
4. **Data-Driven UI**: Move hardcoded configs to JSON/Lua
|
|
5. **Package First**: Build new features as packages for reusability
|
|
6. **Test Early**: Use Vitest and Playwright for comprehensive coverage
