git 33751e1515 feat: Implement TypeScript JSON Abstraction Pattern documentation
- Added comprehensive documentation for the TypeScript JSON Abstraction Pattern, detailing its architecture, benefits, and practical use cases.
- Included examples of JSON input and corresponding TypeScript output, along with compiler implementation sketches.

feat: Enhance RootLayout to load header and footer packages

- Modified RootLayout to asynchronously load header and footer packages using the unified package loader.
- Rendered header and footer conditionally based on package metadata availability.

refactor: Update package-glue structure and imports

- Refactored package-glue exports to streamline imports and improve organization.
- Removed deprecated package-loader module and adjusted related imports accordingly.

fix: Correct package catalog imports in loader functions

- Updated import paths in various loader functions to reference the core package catalog correctly.

chore: Introduce unified package loader for better package management

- Created a unified package loader to handle loading packages from both filesystem JSON and legacy in-memory catalog.
- Implemented functions to load single and all packages, check package existence, and list package IDs.

feat: Add minimal declarative component renderer

- Introduced a lightweight declarative component registry to facilitate package component loading.
- Implemented functions for loading, retrieving, and listing registered components.

Source Code (src/)

This directory contains the main React application source code for MetaBuilder's frontend.

Structure

  • components/ - React UI components organized by feature and level
  • lib/ - Utility libraries, database access, authentication, and business logic
  • hooks/ - Custom React hooks for state management and side effects
  • types/ - TypeScript type definitions
  • styles/ - Global stylesheets (SCSS)
  • tests/ - Component and unit tests
  • seed-data/ - Initial database population scripts

Key Files

  • main.tsx - Application entry point
  • App.tsx - Main application component with 5-level architecture logic
  • index.scss - Global styles (imports all component styles)

Architecture

The application uses a 5-level permission system:

  1. Level 1 (Public) - Unauthenticated access
  2. Level 2 (User) - Basic authenticated user
  3. Level 3 (Admin) - Administrative functions
  4. Level 4 (God) - Advanced system functions
  5. Level 5 (Supergod) - Complete system control

Permission checking is handled in lib/auth.ts and enforced throughout the component hierarchy.

Technologies

  • React 18+ - UI framework
  • TypeScript - Type safety
  • Tailwind CSS - Styling
  • Prisma ORM - Database access
  • Shadcn/ui - UI component library
  • Vite - Build tool

Development

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Start development server
npm run dev

# Build for production
npm run build

# Run tests
npm run test

Database

The application uses Prisma ORM with SQLite/PostgreSQL. Database schema is defined in prisma/schema.prisma and migrations are managed through prisma/migrations/.

Adding New Features

  1. Define data model in prisma/schema.prisma
  2. Create Prisma migration: npm run db:migrate
  3. Build components in components/
  4. Implement business logic in lib/
  5. Add permissions check via canAccessLevel()
  6. Test at appropriate permission levels

See /docs/ for comprehensive development guides.
