## Component Implementation Details
|
|
|
|
### Canvas System
|
|
|
|
The canvas will be the core of the application, responsible for:
|
|
- Rendering components
|
|
- Handling selection and focus
|
|
- Managing component hierarchy
|
|
- Implementing snap-to-grid
|
|
- Providing zoom and pan functionality
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
// Example Canvas component outline
|
|
interface CanvasProps {
|
|
width: number;
|
|
height: number;
|
|
background: string;
|
|
components: Component[];
|
|
gridSize: number;
|
|
showGrid: boolean;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
const Canvas: React.FC<CanvasProps> = ({
|
|
width,
|
|
height,
|
|
background,
|
|
components,
|
|
gridSize,
|
|
showGrid
|
|
}) => {
|
|
// Canvas implementation using react-konva or similar
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Component System
|
|
|
|
Each component will be implemented as a React component with:
|
|
- Standard props interface
|
|
- Rendering logic
|
|
- Property controls
|
|
- Selection handling
|
|
- Drag behavior
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
// Example base component interface
|
|
interface BaseComponentProps {
|
|
id: string;
|
|
type: string;
|
|
position: { x: number; y: number; z?: number };
|
|
size?: { width: number; height: number };
|
|
style?: Record<string, any>;
|
|
data?: Record<string, any>;
|
|
selected?: boolean;
|
|
onSelect?: (id: string) => void;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Example component registration system
|
|
const componentRegistry = {
|
|
funnel: FunnelComponent,
|
|
chart: ChartComponent,
|
|
text: TextComponent,
|
|
// ...other components
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
const renderComponent = (component: BaseComponentProps) => {
|
|
const Component = componentRegistry[component.type];
|
|
if (!Component) return null;
|
|
return <Component {...component} />;
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Funnel Component Implementation
|
|
|
|
The funnel component will visualize conversion funnels:
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
// Example funnel component implementation outline
|
|
interface FunnelStep {
|
|
label: string;
|
|
value: number;
|
|
dropoff?: number;
|
|
color?: string;
|
|
conversion?: boolean;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
interface FunnelProps extends BaseComponentProps {
|
|
data: {
|
|
steps: FunnelStep[];
|
|
options?: {
|
|
showPercentages?: boolean;
|
|
showLabels?: boolean;
|
|
orientation?: 'vertical' | 'horizontal';
|
|
};
|
|
colors?: {
|
|
primary: string;
|
|
secondary: string;
|
|
tertiary: string;
|
|
success: string;
|
|
};
|
|
};
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
const FunnelComponent: React.FC<FunnelProps> = ({ id, position, size, data, style, selected, onSelect }) => {
|
|
// Funnel rendering logic using SVG or Canvas
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### JSON Import/Export System
|
|
|
|
The JSON import/export system will handle:
|
|
- Converting the internal state to JSON
|
|
- Importing JSON into the application state
|
|
- Validating JSON against the schema
|
|
- Generating code for external use
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
// Example JSON export function outline
|
|
const exportToJson = (state: AppState): string => {
|
|
const { canvas, components } = state;
|
|
|
|
return JSON.stringify({
|
|
version: '1.0',
|
|
canvas: {
|
|
width: canvas.width,
|
|
height: canvas.height,
|
|
background: canvas.background,
|
|
gridSize: canvas.gridSize,
|
|
showGrid: canvas.showGrid
|
|
},
|
|
components: components.map(component => ({
|
|
id: component.id,
|
|
type: component.type,
|
|
position: component.position,
|
|
size: component.size,
|
|
style: component.style,
|
|
data: component.data
|
|
}))
|
|
}, null, 2);
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Redux Store Structure
|
|
|
|
The Redux store will manage the application state:
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
// Example Redux slice structure
|
|
interface AppState {
|
|
canvas: {
|
|
width: number;
|
|
height: number;
|
|
background: string;
|
|
gridSize: number;
|
|
showGrid: boolean;
|
|
zoom: number;
|
|
pan: { x: number; y: number };
|
|
};
|
|
components: Component[];
|
|
selection: {
|
|
selectedIds: string[];
|
|
activeId: string | null;
|
|
};
|
|
history: {
|
|
past: AppState[];
|
|
future: AppState[];
|
|
};
|
|
ui: {
|
|
activeTool: string;
|
|
activePanel: string;
|
|
sidebarWidth: number;
|
|
colorPalette: string[];
|
|
theme: 'light' | 'dark';
|
|
};
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## API Endpoints (Optional Backend)
|
|
|
|
If implementing a backend for project saving:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
POST /api/projects - Create a new project
|
|
GET /api/projects - List user projects
|
|
GET /api/projects/:id - Get a specific project
|
|
PUT /api/projects/:id - Update a project
|

|
|
|
POST /api/auth/register - Register a new user
|
|
POST /api/auth/login - Login
