Niteshift Sandbox Status

This repository is running in a Niteshift sandbox with the following already configured:

✅ Dev server is ALREADY RUNNING on http://localhost:3001 with hot reload enabled ✅ Database is set up and migrated (PostgreSQL) ✅ All dependencies are installed (pnpm) ✅ Environment variables are configured (.env file exists) ✅ Tracker script and geo database are built

Default credentials:

• Username: admin
• Password: umami

You can start making changes immediately - all changes will hot reload automatically!

TL;DR - Start Prototyping Now

// 1. Access the running app
// http://localhost:3001 (login: admin/umami)

// 2. Make a quick UI change - edit any file in src/
import { Button } from '@umami/react-zen';  // Use component library
import { useApi } from '@/components/hooks';  // Fetch data with React Query

// 3. Save file - see changes instantly in browser!

Most common tasks:

• New page: Create src/app/(main)/[feature]/page.tsx
• New component: Add to src/components/common/
• Fetch data: Use useApi() hook or pre-built query hooks from src/components/hooks/queries/
• Styles: Use @umami/react-zen components (minimal custom CSS needed)

Rapid UI Prototyping Guide

Quick Start for UI Changes

The dev server is already running on http://localhost:3001 with hot reload!

1. Make your changes - Edit any file in src/

2. View instantly - Changes appear in browser automatically (no manual refresh needed)

3. Component library: Use @umami/react-zen for all UI primitives:

   import { Button, Form, TextField, Modal, Row, Column } from '@umami/react-zen';
   

4. Import path alias: Always use @/ for imports:

   import { useApi } from '@/components/hooks';
   import { formatDate } from '@/lib/date';
   

UI Component Architecture

Component Library (@umami/react-zen)

The codebase uses a custom component library for UI primitives. Common components include:

• Layout: Row, Column, Container, Grid
• Forms: Form, TextField, TextArea, Select, Checkbox, Toggle, SearchField
• Buttons: Button, ActionButton, IconButton
• Display: Modal, Dropdown, Menu, Tabs, Banner, Tooltip
• Data: Table, List, Empty

Example component usage:

import { Button, Form, TextField } from '@umami/react-zen';

export function MyForm() {
  return (
    <Form>
      <TextField name="email" placeholder="Email" />
      <Button type="submit">Submit</Button>
    </Form>
  );
}

Custom Components (@/components/common/)

Pages typically use a mix of @umami/react-zen components and custom components from @/components/common/. Common custom components include:

• Layout: PageBody, PageHeader, Panel, SectionHeader
• Data Display: DataGrid, Empty, EmptyPlaceholder, LoadingPanel
• Forms: ActionForm, ConfirmationForm, TypeConfirmationForm
• UI Elements: Avatar, Favicon, FilterLink, LinkButton, Pager
• Utilities: DateDisplay, DateDistance, ErrorMessage, ExternalLink

Example: Most pages combine both:

import { Column } from '@umami/react-zen';
import { PageBody, PageHeader, Panel } from '@/components/common';

export function MyPage() {
  return (
    <PageBody>
      <Column margin="2">
        <PageHeader title="My Page" />
        <Panel>
          {/* Content */}
        </Panel>
      </Column>
    </PageBody>
  );
}

Other Component Locations

• src/components/input/: Input/button components (DateFilter, DownloadButton, WebsiteSelect, etc.)
• src/components/charts/: Chart components (BarChart, LineChart, etc.)
• src/components/metrics/: Analytics displays (MetricCard, StatsTable, etc.)
• src/components/boards/: Dashboard board components

Data Fetching Patterns

Pre-built Query Hooks (Recommended)

Most common pattern: Use existing query hooks from src/components/hooks/queries/. See src/components/hooks/index.ts for the full list of available hooks.

import { useWebsitesQuery } from '@/components/hooks/queries/useWebsitesQuery';
import { useReportsQuery } from '@/components/hooks/queries/useReportsQuery';
import { useUsersQuery } from '@/components/hooks/queries/useUsersQuery';

// In component:
const { data: websites, isLoading } = useWebsitesQuery();

Available query hooks include: useWebsitesQuery, useUsersQuery, useReportsQuery, useTeamsQuery, useLinksQuery, usePixelsQuery, useRealtimeQuery, useWebsiteMetricsQuery, useWebsiteEventsQuery, useSessionDataQuery, and many more. Check src/components/hooks/queries/ for the complete list.

Using the useApi Hook Directly

For custom API calls or when a pre-built hook doesn't exist, use useApi():

import { useApi } from '@/components/hooks';
import { useQuery, useMutation } from '@tanstack/react-query';

export function MyComponent() {
  const { get, post } = useApi();

  // Option 1: Use with React Query hooks directly
  const { data, isLoading, error } = useQuery({
    queryKey: ['custom-data'],
    queryFn: () => get('/custom-endpoint'),
  });

  // Option 2: Direct API call (for mutations, form submissions, etc.)
  const handleSubmit = async (values) => {
    await post('/api/resource', values);
  };

  return <div>{data?.name}</div>;
}

Note: Most query hooks internally use useApi() with usePagedQuery() for pagination support. Prefer pre-built hooks when available.

State Management

Zustand Stores

Global state is managed with Zustand stores in src/store/:

import { useApp } from '@/store/app';
import { setLocale, setTimezone, setUser } from '@/store/app';

// In component - read state
const user = useApp(state => state.user);
const locale = useApp(state => state.locale);

// Update state
setUser(userData);
setLocale('en-US');

Available stores:

• app.ts: Global app state (user, locale, theme, timezone, dateRange)
• dashboard.ts: Dashboard state
• websites.ts: Websites state
• cache.ts: Cache management
• version.ts: Version checking

Custom Hooks

Essential hooks in src/components/hooks/:

Data Hooks

• useApi(): API wrapper with React Query integration
• useConfig(): Get app configuration
• useDateRange(): Date range management
• useFilters(): Filter state management
• usePagedQuery(): Pagination helper

UI Hooks

• useMessages(): Internationalization (i18n) messages and formatting
• useLocale(): Current locale
• useFormat(): Number, date, and value formatting
• useMobile(): Mobile device detection
• useNavigation(): Next.js navigation helpers
• useEscapeKey(): ESC key handler
• useDocumentClick(): Click outside handler

Context Hooks

These hooks provide access to React Context values for specific entities:

• useUser(): Access current user context (from UserProvider)
• useWebsite(): Access current website context (from WebsiteProvider)
• useTeam(): Access current team context (from TeamProvider)
• useLink(): Access current link context (from LinkProvider)
• usePixel(): Access current pixel context (from PixelProvider)

Usage: These hooks are typically used within components that are wrapped by their respective providers. For example:

import { useWebsite } from '@/components/hooks';

export function MyComponent() {
  const website = useWebsite(); // Returns website data from WebsiteProvider
  return <div>{website?.name}</div>;
}

Example Usage:

import { useMessages, useFormat, useMobile } from '@/components/hooks';

export function MyComponent() {
  const { formatMessage, labels } = useMessages();
  const { formatValue } = useFormat();
  const isMobile = useMobile();

  return (
    <div>
      {formatMessage(labels.welcome)}
      {formatValue(1000, 'number')}
    </div>
  );
}

Internationalization (i18n)

All user-facing text should use useMessages:

import { useMessages } from '@/components/hooks';

export function MyComponent() {
  const { formatMessage, labels } = useMessages();

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{formatMessage(labels.dashboard)}</h1>
      <p>{formatMessage(labels.description)}</p>
    </div>
  );
}

Messages are defined in src/components/messages.ts and compiled to JSON files in public/intl/messages/.

Styling

Approach

• Minimal custom CSS: The codebase relies heavily on @umami/react-zen components for styling
• CSS Modules: Use when custom styles are needed (.module.css files)
• Global styles: src/styles/global.css and src/styles/variables.css
• CSS Variables: Primary color customization via --primary-color

Adding Custom Styles

Only create CSS modules when absolutely necessary:

// MyComponent.module.css
import styles from './MyComponent.module.css';

export function MyComponent() {
  return <div className={styles.container}>Content</div>;
}

Common UI Patterns

DataGrid Pattern

For lists with search, pagination, and actions:

import { DataGrid } from '@/components/common/DataGrid';
import { useWebsitesQuery } from '@/components/hooks/queries/useWebsitesQuery';

export function WebsiteList() {
  const query = useWebsitesQuery();

  return (
    <DataGrid
      query={query}
      allowSearch
      allowPaging
      renderActions={() => <Button>Add Website</Button>}
    >
      {(row) => <div>{row.name}</div>}
    </DataGrid>
  );
}

Form Pattern

Standard form with validation:

import { Form, TextField, Button } from '@umami/react-zen';
import { useApi } from '@/components/hooks';

export function MyForm() {
  const { post } = useApi();

  const handleSubmit = async (values) => {
    await post('/api/resource', values);
  };

  return (
    <Form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
      <TextField name="name" label="Name" required />
      <Button type="submit">Submit</Button>
    </Form>
  );
}

Modal Pattern

import { Modal, Button } from '@umami/react-zen';
import { useState } from 'react';

export function MyComponent() {
  const [showModal, setShowModal] = useState(false);

  return (
    <>
      <Button onClick={() => setShowModal(true)}>Open</Button>
      {showModal && (
        <Modal onClose={() => setShowModal(false)}>
          <div>Modal content</div>
        </Modal>
      )}
    </>
  );
}

Page Structure

Pages in src/app/(main)/ follow this pattern:

'use client';  // Required for interactive components

import { useMessages } from '@/components/hooks';
import { Button } from '@umami/react-zen';

export default function MyPage() {
  const { formatMessage, labels } = useMessages();

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{formatMessage(labels.title)}</h1>
      {/* Page content */}
    </div>
  );
}

To view your new page: Navigate to http://localhost:3001/your-route (server is already running!)

Tips for Rapid Prototyping in Niteshift

1. Zero setup needed: The dev server is running, database is ready, just start coding!
2. Instant feedback: Hot reload is active - save a file and see changes in <1 second
3. Leverage existing components: Check src/components/common/ and src/components/input/ before creating new components
4. Use query hooks: Don't write custom API calls if a query hook exists in src/components/hooks/queries/
5. Follow established patterns: Look at similar pages/components for consistent patterns
6. Internationalization: Always use useMessages() for text, never hardcode strings
7. TypeScript: Leverage type inference - the codebase has strong typing
8. Component library first: Always check if @umami/react-zen has what you need before writing custom UI

API Architecture

API routes follow Next.js App Router conventions with route.ts files. Standard pattern:

1. Request parsing with parseRequest() from @/lib/request
2. Authentication via checkAuth() (can be skipped with skipAuth: true)
3. Schema validation using Zod
4. Database queries via Prisma or raw SQL
5. Response formatting via helpers from @/lib/response

Example:

export async function GET(request: Request) {
  const { query, auth, error } = await parseRequest(request, schema);
  if (error) return error();
  // ... business logic
  return json(data);
}

Database Query Pattern

The codebase supports multiple database backends through runQuery() in src/lib/db.ts:

• Prisma queries (in src/queries/prisma/): Used with PostgreSQL
• Raw SQL queries (in src/queries/sql/): Direct SQL for complex analytics
• ClickHouse queries: Optional high-performance analytics backend

Use runQuery() with object containing query implementations for each backend:

return runQuery({
  [PRISMA]: () => prismaQuery(),
  [CLICKHOUSE]: () => clickhouseQuery(),
});

Environment Variables

In Niteshift: The .env file is already configured with DATABASE_URL and any required variables.

See next.config.ts for full list of available environment variables.

Key Data Models

Core entities in prisma/schema.prisma:

• User: User accounts with authentication
• Team: Organizations/teams
• Website: Tracked websites
• Session: User sessions with device/location data
• WebsiteEvent: Individual events/pageviews
• Report: Custom analytics reports
• Link: Short links (link tracking feature)
• Pixel: Tracking pixels

Important Notes for Niteshift Development

TypeScript Configuration

• Module resolution: bundler
• Path alias: @/* maps to src/*
• Strict mode enabled (except strictNullChecks)
• Target: ES2022
• Types are checked automatically - errors show in editor

Testing

• Unit tests in src/lib/__tests__/ using Jest
• Test pattern: *.test.ts or *.spec.ts
• Run with pnpm test

Code Style

• Prettier and ESLint run automatically via pre-commit hooks
• Manually run with pnpm lint if needed

Database & Prisma

• Prisma client is in src/generated/prisma/ (not default location)
• Never edit generated files manually
• If you modify prisma/schema.prisma, regenerate with: pnpm build-db-client
• Database is already migrated and ready to use
