## Viewer UI Development
### Working with the React Viewer
The web viewer UI is a React application built into a self-contained HTML bundle.
**Location**: `src/ui/viewer/`
**Structure**:
```
src/ui/viewer/
├── index.tsx # Entry point
├── App.tsx # Main application component
├── components/ # React components
│ ├── Header.tsx # Header with logo and actions
│ ├── Sidebar.tsx # Project filter sidebar
│ ├── Feed.tsx # Main feed with infinite scroll
│ ├── cards/ # Card components
│ │ ├── ObservationCard.tsx
│ │ ├── PromptCard.tsx
│ │ ├── SummaryCard.tsx
│ │ └── SkeletonCard.tsx
├── hooks/ # Custom React hooks
│ ├── useSSE.ts # Server-Sent Events connection
│ ├── usePagination.ts # Infinite scroll pagination
│ ├── useSettings.ts # Settings persistence
│ └── useStats.ts # Database statistics
├── utils/ # Utilities
│ ├── constants.ts # Constants (API URLs, etc.)
│ ├── formatters.ts # Date/time formatting
│ └── merge.ts # Data merging and deduplication
└── assets/ # Static assets (fonts, logos)
```
### Building Viewer UI
```bash
# Build everything including viewer
npm run build
# The viewer is built to plugin/ui/viewer.html
# It's a self-contained HTML file with inlined JS and CSS
```
### Testing Viewer Changes
1. Make changes to React components in `src/ui/viewer/`
2. Build: `npm run build`
3. Sync to installed plugin: `npm run sync-marketplace`
4. Restart worker: `npm run worker:restart`
5. Refresh browser at http://localhost:37777
**Hot Reload**: Not currently supported. Full rebuild + restart required for changes.
### Adding New Viewer Features
**Example: Adding a new card type**
1. Create component in `src/ui/viewer/components/cards/YourCard.tsx`:
```tsx
import React from 'react';
export interface YourCardProps {
// Your data structure
}
export const YourCard: React.FC<YourCardProps> = ({ ... }) => {
return (
<div className="card">
{/* Your UI */}
</div>
);
};
```
2. Import and use in `Feed.tsx`:
```tsx
import { YourCard } from './cards/YourCard';
// In render logic:
{item.type === 'your_type' && <YourCard {...item} />}
```
3. Update types if needed in `src/ui/viewer/types.ts`
4. Rebuild and test
### Viewer UI Architecture
**Data Flow**:
1. Worker service exposes HTTP + SSE endpoints
2. React app fetches initial data via HTTP (paginated)
3. SSE connection provides real-time updates
4. Custom hooks handle state management and data merging
5. Components render cards based on item type
**Key Patterns**:
- **Infinite Scroll**: `usePagination` hook with Intersection Observer
- **Real-Time Updates**: `useSSE` hook with auto-reconnection
- **Deduplication**: `merge.ts` utilities prevent duplicate items
- **Settings Persistence**: `useSettings` hook with localStorage
- **Theme Support**: CSS variables with light/dark/system themes
