# Frontend Documentation
## UI Framework and Library
**Framework**: React
**Styling**: Tailwind CSS
**Additional UI Libraries**: Headless UI (for accessible components)
## Design Philosophy
The application follows a minimalistic, modern design inspired by Apple's design language with:
- Clean, uncluttered interfaces
- Ample white space
- Subtle animations and transitions
- Focus on content and functionality
- Support for both light and dark mode
## Navigation Structure
The application uses a sidebar navigation layout with the following primary sections:
1. **Dashboard** - Overview of user activity and saved strategies
2. **Strategy Builder** - Main interface for creating strategies
3. **My Strategies** - Library of saved and generated strategies
4. **Community** - Social features and shared strategies
5. **Settings** - Account management and preferences
Mobile view will use a collapsible hamburger menu to ensure responsiveness.
## State Management
**Solution**: Zustand
Zustand is selected for state management due to its:
- Simplified API compared to Redux
- Strong performance for complex state
- Minimal boilerplate code
- Good compatibility with React's concurrent features
- Ability to handle complex nested state required for strategy configurations
## Component Structure
### Core Components
1. **StrategyBuilder**
- Main component for strategy creation
- Contains sub-sections for each framework part
- Houses the visual indicator selection interface
2. **IndicatorSelector**
- Allows selection from pre-built indicators
- Provides customization controls for indicator parameters
- Displays visual representation of indicator behavior
3. **StrategyViewer**
- Displays the complete strategy with all selected components
- Provides export options
- Shows educational content about strategy components
4. **CodeExporter**
- Generates PineScript code
- Toggles between minimal and commented code
- Provides copy functionality
5. **AIStrategyGenerator**
- Interface for API key management
- Controls for AI-based strategy generation
- Displays generated strategies with explanations
6. **StrategyVersionControl**
- Manages different versions of strategies
- Provides comparison tools
- Allows reverting to previous versions
### Shared Components
1. **Header**
- App logo and navigation
- User profile and account menu
- Theme toggle (light/dark mode)
2. **Sidebar**
- Main navigation menu
- Collapsible on mobile devices
3. **Modal**
- Reusable modal component for alerts, confirmations, etc.
4. **Toast**
- Notification system for success/error messages
5. **Button**
- Consistent button styles across the application
- Various states (primary, secondary, disabled)
6. **Card**
- Container for strategy items and content blocks
## Forms and Inputs
1. **API Key Management Form**
- Secure input for LLM API keys
- Validation for proper key format
- Test connection functionality
2. **Strategy Parameters Form**
- Number inputs with min/max validation
- Toggle switches for boolean options
- Dropdown selects for pre-defined options
3. **Filter and Search Forms**
- Used in strategy library and community sections
- Quick filtering by strategy type, performance, etc.
## Responsive Design
The application will follow a mobile-first approach with specific breakpoints for:
- Mobile (< 640px)
- Tablet (640px - 1024px)
- Desktop (> 1024px)
Tailwind's responsive classes will be utilized for consistent responsive behavior.
## Theme Management
The application will support both light and dark modes:
- System preference detection by default
- User toggle option
- Persistent preference storage
- Smooth transition between themes
## Performance Considerations
1. **Code Splitting**
- Route-based code splitting
- Dynamic imports for heavy components
2. **Lazy Loading**
- Defer loading of non-critical components
- Implement for community features and advanced settings
3. **Memoization**
- Use React.memo for complex component renders
- Implement useMemo for expensive calculations
4. **Asset Optimization**
- Optimize images and icons
- Use SVGs where possible for crisp rendering at all sizes
