# Frontend Implementation Plan: Next.js + FastAPI Template

**Last Updated:** October 31, 2025
**Current Phase:** Phase 1 COMPLETE ✅ | Ready for Phase 2
**Overall Progress:** 1 of 12 phases complete

---

## Summary

Build a production-ready Next.js 15 frontend with full authentication, admin dashboard, user/organization management, and session tracking. The frontend integrates with the existing FastAPI backend using OpenAPI-generated clients, TanStack Query for state, Zustand for auth, and shadcn/ui components.

**Target:** 90%+ test coverage, comprehensive documentation, and robust foundations for enterprise projects.

**Current State:** Phase 1 infrastructure complete with 81.6% test coverage, 66 passing tests, zero TypeScript errors
**Target State:** Complete template matching `frontend-requirements.md` with all 12 phases

---

## Implementation Directives (MUST FOLLOW)

### Documentation-First Approach
- Phase 0 created `/docs` folder with all architecture, standards, and guides ✅
- ALL subsequent phases MUST reference and follow patterns in `/docs`
- **If context is lost, `/docs` + this file + `frontend-requirements.md` are sufficient to resume**

### Quality Assurance Protocol

**1. Per-Task Quality Standards (MANDATORY):**
- **Quality over Speed:** Each task developed carefully, no rushing
- **Review Cycles:** Minimum 3 review-fix cycles per task before completion
- **Test Coverage:** Maintain >80% coverage at all times
- **Test Pass Rate:** 100% of tests MUST pass (no exceptions)
  - If tests fail, task is NOT complete
  - Failed tests = incomplete implementation
  - Do not proceed until all tests pass
- **Standards Compliance:** Zero violations of `/docs/CODING_STANDARDS.md`

**2. After Each Task:**
- [ ] All tests passing (100% pass rate)
- [ ] Coverage >80% for new code
- [ ] TypeScript: 0 errors
- [ ] ESLint: 0 warnings
- [ ] Self-review cycle 1: Code quality
- [ ] Self-review cycle 2: Security & accessibility
- [ ] Self-review cycle 3: Performance & standards compliance
- [ ] Documentation updated
- [ ] IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md status updated

**3. After Each Phase:**
Launch multi-agent deep review to:
- Verify phase objectives met
- Check integration with previous phases
- Identify critical issues requiring immediate fixes
- Recommend improvements before proceeding
- Update documentation if patterns evolved
- **Generate phase review report** (e.g., `PHASE_X_REVIEW.md`)

**4. Testing Requirements:**
- Write tests alongside feature code (not after)
- Unit tests: All hooks, utilities, services
- Component tests: All reusable components
- Integration tests: All pages and flows
- E2E tests: Critical user journeys (auth, admin CRUD)
- Target: 90%+ coverage for template robustness
- **100% pass rate required** - no failing tests allowed
- Use Jest + React Testing Library + Playwright

**5. Context Preservation:**
- Update `/docs` with implementation decisions
- Document deviations from requirements in `ARCHITECTURE.md`
- Keep `frontend-requirements.md` updated if backend changes
- Update THIS FILE after each phase with actual progress
- Create phase review reports for historical reference

### ⚠️ Known Technical Debt

1. **Dual API Client Setup** - Currently using BOTH:
   - ✅ Generated client (`src/lib/api/generated/**`) - Auto-generated from OpenAPI
   - ✅ Manual client (`src/lib/api/client.ts`) - Has token refresh interceptors
   - ✅ Wrapper (`src/lib/api/client-config.ts`) - Configures both
   - **Status:** Both working. Manual client handles auth flow, generated client has types
   - **Next Step:** Migrate token refresh logic to use generated client exclusively

2. **Old Implementation Files** - Need cleanup:
   - Delete: `src/stores/authStore.old.ts` (if exists)

3. **API Client Regeneration** - When backend changes:
   - Run: `npm run generate:api` (requires backend at `http://localhost:8000`)
   - Files regenerate: `src/lib/api/generated/**`
   - Wrapper `client-config.ts` is NOT overwritten (safe)

### Key Commands Reference

```bash
# Development
npm run dev                  # Start dev server (http://localhost:3000)
npm run build                # Production build
npm run start                # Start production server

# Testing
npm test                     # Run tests
npm test -- --coverage       # Run tests with coverage report
npm run type-check           # TypeScript compilation check
npm run lint                 # ESLint check

# API Client Generation (needs backend running)
npm run generate:api         # Generate TypeScript client from OpenAPI spec

# Package Management
npm install                  # Install dependencies
npm audit                    # Check for vulnerabilities
```

### Environment Variables

**Required:**
```env
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://localhost:8000
NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_NAME=Template Project
```

**Optional:**
```env
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_TIMEOUT=30000
NEXT_PUBLIC_TOKEN_REFRESH_THRESHOLD=300000
NEXT_PUBLIC_DEBUG_API=false
```

See `.env.example` for complete list.

### Current Technical State

**What Works:**
- ✅ Authentication core (crypto, storage, store)
- ✅ Configuration management
- ✅ Test infrastructure
- ✅ TypeScript compilation
- ✅ Development environment

**What's Needed Next:**
- [ ] Generate API client from backend
- [ ] Build auth UI (login, register, password reset)
- [ ] Implement auth pages
- [ ] Add E2E tests for auth flows

**Technical Debt:**
- Manual API client files (will be replaced)
- Old implementation files (need cleanup)
- No API generation yet (needs backend)

## Notes for Future Development

### When Starting Phase 2

1. Generate API client first:
   ```bash
   # Ensure backend is running
   cd ../backend && uvicorn app.main:app --reload

   # In separate terminal
   cd frontend
   npm run generate:api
   ```

2. Review generated types in `src/lib/api/generated/`

3. Replace manual client files:
   - Archive or delete `src/lib/api/client.ts`
   - Archive or delete `src/lib/api/errors.ts`
   - Create thin wrapper if interceptor logic needed

4. Follow patterns in `docs/FEATURE_EXAMPLES.md`

5. Write tests alongside code (not after)

### Remember

- **Documentation First:** Check docs before implementing
- **Test As You Go:** Don't batch testing at end
- **Review Often:** Self-review after each task
- **Update This Plan:** Keep it current with actual progress
- **Context Matters:** This file + docs = full context
