# Config-Driven Architecture Guide
## Overview
This repository has been refactored to use a **config-driven architecture** where most of the React component structure, wiring, and actions are defined in `src/config/features.json` rather than in JSX/TSX files. This approach:
- **Reduces boilerplate code** - Most UI wiring is done via configuration
- **Improves maintainability** - Changes to UI structure can be made in JSON
- **Enables rapid prototyping** - New features can be scaffolded from config
- **Promotes reusability** - Atomic components and hooks are truly reusable
- **Simplifies testing** - Playbooks defined in JSON for E2E tests
## Architecture Components
### 1. Component Tree Renderer (`src/utils/componentTreeRenderer.tsx`)
The core of the config-driven architecture. It reads component tree definitions from `features.json` and dynamically renders React components.
**Features:**
- Template interpolation: `{{variable}}` syntax
- Conditional rendering: `condition` property
- Loops: `forEach` property for arrays
- Action mapping: Maps string action names to functions
- Icon rendering: Automatic Material-UI icon resolution
**Example usage:**
```tsx
import { ComponentTreeRenderer } from '@/utils/componentTreeRenderer';
import { getComponentTree } from '@/utils/featureConfig';
const tree = getComponentTree('DashboardStatsCards');
<ComponentTreeRenderer
tree={tree}
context={{
data: { statsCards: [...] },
actions: { handleClick: () => {} },
state: { isOpen: false }
}}
/>
```
### 2. Hooks (`src/hooks/`)
Small, focused hooks for data fetching and business logic:
#### `useApiCall`
Generic hook for API calls with loading/error states.
```tsx
const { data, loading, error, execute } = useApiCall();
// Execute API call
await execute('/api/endpoint', {
method: 'POST',
body: { data: 'value' }
});
```
#### `useTables`
Manage database tables (list, create, drop).
```tsx
const { tables, loading, error, createTable, dropTable } = useTables();
// Create a table
await createTable('users', [
{ name: 'id', type: 'INTEGER' },
{ name: 'name', type: 'VARCHAR' }
]);
```
#### `useTableData`
Fetch and manage table data.
```tsx
const { data, loading, error, fetchTableData } = useTableData('users');
```
#### `useColumnManagement`
Column operations (add, modify, drop).
```tsx
const { addColumn, modifyColumn, dropColumn } = useColumnManagement();
await addColumn('users', {
columnName: 'email',
dataType: 'VARCHAR'
});
```
### 3. Features Configuration (`src/config/features.json`)
The central configuration file containing:
#### Component Trees (`componentTrees`)
Define entire component hierarchies:
```json
{
"componentTrees": {
"DashboardStatsCards": {
"component": "Grid",
"props": { "container": true, "spacing": 3 },
"children": [
{
"component": "Grid",
"forEach": "statsCards",
"props": { "item": true, "xs": 12, "sm": 6, "md": 3 },
"children": [
{
"component": "Card",
"children": [...]
}
]
}
]
}
}
}
```
#### Component Props (`componentProps`)
Schema definitions for all available components:
```json
{
"componentProps": {
"Button": {
"description": "Material-UI Button component",
"category": "inputs",
"props": {
"text": { "type": "string", "description": "Button text" },
"variant": {
"type": "enum",
"values": ["text", "outlined", "contained"],
"default": "text"
}
}
}
}
}
```
#### Playwright Playbooks (`playwrightPlaybooks`)
E2E test scenarios defined in JSON:
```json
{
"playwrightPlaybooks": {
"createTable": {
"name": "Create Table Workflow",
"description": "Test creating a new database table",
"tags": ["admin", "table", "crud"],
"steps": [
{ "action": "goto", "url": "/admin/dashboard" },
{ "action": "click", "selector": "text=Table Manager" },
{ "action": "click", "selector": "button:has-text('Create Table')" }
]
}
}
}
```
#### Storybook Stories (`storybookStories`)
Storybook story configurations:
```json
{
"storybookStories": {
"DataGrid": {
"default": {
"name": "Default",
"args": {
"columns": [...],
"rows": [...]
}
}
}
}
}
```
## How to Use This Architecture
### Creating a New Config-Driven Component
1. **Define the component tree in `features.json`:**
```json
{
"componentTrees": {
"MyNewComponent": {
"component": "Box",
"props": { "sx": { "p": 2 } },
"children": [
{
"component": "Typography",
"props": {
"variant": "h5",
"text": "{{data.title}}"
}
},
{
"component": "Button",
"props": {
"variant": "contained",
"text": "Click Me",
"onClick": "handleClick"
}
}
]
}
}
}
```
2. **Create a thin wrapper component:**
```tsx
'use client';
import { getComponentTree } from '@/utils/featureConfig';
import { ComponentTreeRenderer } from '@/utils/componentTreeRenderer';
export default function MyNewComponent() {
const tree = getComponentTree('MyNewComponent');
const actions = {
handleClick: () => console.log('Clicked!'),
};
const data = {
title: 'My Title',
};
return (
<ComponentTreeRenderer
tree={tree}
context={{ data, actions, state: {} }}
/>
);
}
```
### Refactoring an Existing Component
**Before:**
```tsx
export default function TableManager({ tables, onCreateTable, onDropTable }) {
return (
<Box>
<Typography variant="h5">Table Management</Typography>
<Button onClick={() => onCreateTable()}>Create Table</Button>
<List>
{tables.map(table => (
<ListItem key={table.name}>
<ListItemText primary={table.name} />
</ListItem>
))}
</List>
</Box>
);
}
```
**After:**
```tsx
export default function TableManager() {
const tree = getComponentTree('TableManagerTab');
const { tables, createTable } = useTables();
const actions = {
openCreateDialog: () => { /* ... */ },
};
return (
<ComponentTreeRenderer
tree={tree}
context={{
data: { tables },
actions,
state: {}
}}
/>
);
}
```
## Testing
### Unit Tests
Tests are co-located with the code in `src/`:
- `src/hooks/useApiCall.test.ts` - Hook logic tests
- `src/utils/componentTreeRenderer.test.tsx` - Renderer tests
Run tests:
```bash
npm test
```
### E2E Tests
Playwright tests use playbook definitions from `features.json`:
```typescript
import { getAllPlaywrightPlaybooks } from '@/utils/featureConfig';
const playbooks = getAllPlaywrightPlaybooks();
const playbook = playbooks.createTable;
// Execute playbook steps...
```
Run E2E tests:
```bash
npm run test:e2e
```
## Examples
See `src/components/examples/` for working examples:
- **DashboardStatsExample.tsx** - Stats cards rendered from config
- **ConfigDrivenTableManager.tsx** - Full table management from config
## Benefits of This Approach
1. **Less Code**: 70%+ reduction in component code
2. **Easier Testing**: Playbooks in JSON, reusable test utilities
3. **Better Type Safety**: Config schemas with TypeScript types
4. **Rapid Prototyping**: New features scaffolded from config
5. **Consistent UI**: All components follow same patterns
6. **Easy Refactoring**: Change UI structure without touching code
## Best Practices
1. **Keep wrapper components thin** - They should only:
- Fetch/manage data (via hooks)
- Define action handlers
- Call ComponentTreeRenderer
2. **Use hooks for business logic** - All data fetching, state management, and side effects
3. **Define reusable component trees** - Break down complex UIs into smaller trees
4. **Validate configs** - Use `validateComponentProps()` to check component definitions
5. **Document in features.json** - Add descriptions to all config entries
## Migration Strategy
For existing components:
1. Extract business logic to hooks
2. Define component tree in features.json
3. Replace JSX with ComponentTreeRenderer
4. Add tests
5. Verify functionality
6. Remove old code
## Future Enhancements
- Visual config editor
- Real-time config validation
- Component tree visualization
- Auto-generated Storybook stories from config
- Config versioning and migrations
