Frontend Architecture

Overview

The K8s Scheduler frontend is a modern React 19 single-page application built with TypeScript, Vite, and TanStack Query. It provides a responsive UI for managing deployments, sandboxes, secrets, teams, and billing.

Tech Stack

API Client

The frontend uses a custom API client built on the Fetch API with automatic error handling and session management.

Client Implementation

ui/src/api/client.ts

const API_BASE = '';

export class ApiError extends Error {
  status: number;
  statusText: string;

  constructor(status: number, statusText: string, message?: string) {
    super(message || `${status} ${statusText}`);
    this.name = 'ApiError';
    this.status = status;
    this.statusText = statusText;
  }
}

async function handleResponse<T>(response: Response): Promise<T> {
  if (!response.ok) {
    if (response.status === 401) {
      throw new ApiError(401, 'Unauthorized', 'Session expired');
    }

    let errorMessage: string | undefined;
    try {
      const body = await response.json();
      errorMessage = body.error || body.message;
    } catch {
      // Ignore JSON parse errors
    }

    throw new ApiError(response.status, response.statusText, errorMessage);
  }

  if (response.status === 204) {
    return undefined as T;
  }

  return response.json();
}

export const api = {
  async get<T>(path: string): Promise<T> {
    const response = await fetch(`${API_BASE}${path}`, {
      method: 'GET',
      credentials: 'include',
      headers: { 'Accept': 'application/json' },
    });
    return handleResponse<T>(response);
  },

  async post<T>(path: string, body?: unknown): Promise<T> {
    const response = await fetch(`${API_BASE}${path}`, {
      method: 'POST',
      credentials: 'include',
      headers: {
        'Accept': 'application/json',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      },
      body: body ? JSON.stringify(body) : undefined,
    });
    return handleResponse<T>(response);
  },
  
  // ... put, patch, delete methods
};

Key Features

Credential handling: Automatic cookie-based session management
Error handling: Structured error responses with ApiError class
401 handling: Throws errors for React Router to handle redirects
204 handling: Returns undefined for No Content responses
Type safety: Full TypeScript generics support

TanStack Query Hooks

The application uses TanStack Query (React Query v5) for data fetching, caching, and state management.

Available Hooks

ui/src/api/hooks/
├── useAuth.ts              # User authentication
├── useDeployments.ts       # Deployment CRUD operations
├── useSandboxes.ts         # Sandbox management
├── useSecrets.ts           # Secret management
├── useTeams.ts             # Team collaboration
├── useBilling.ts           # Subscription and billing
├── useTemplates.ts         # Template management

└── useDeploymentMetrics.ts # Pod metrics

Source: ui/src/api/hooks/ directory

Example Hook Usage

import { useDeployments } from '@/api/hooks';

function DeploymentsList() {
  const { data: deployments, isLoading, error } = useDeployments();

  if (isLoading) return <Spinner />;
  if (error) return <ErrorMessage error={error} />;

  return (
    <div>
      {deployments.map(dep => (
        <DeploymentCard key={dep.name} deployment={dep} />
      ))}
    </div>
  );
}

Application Structure

Entry Point

ui/src/main.tsx

import { StrictMode } from 'react'
import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client'
import App from './App.tsx'

createRoot(document.getElementById('root')!).render(
  <StrictMode>
    <App />
  </StrictMode>,
)

Source: ui/src/main.tsx:1-11

App Component

ui/src/App.tsx

import { QueryClientProvider } from '@tanstack/react-query';
import { Toaster } from 'sonner';
import { queryClient } from '@/config/queryClient';
import { AuthProvider } from '@/components/auth';
import { ThemeProvider } from '@/components/theme';
import { AppRouter } from '@/routes';

function App() {
  return (
    <QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
      <ThemeProvider>
        <AuthProvider>
          <AppRouter />
        </AuthProvider>
        <Toaster position="top-right" richColors duration={3000} />
      </ThemeProvider>
    </QueryClientProvider>
  );
}

Source: ui/src/App.tsx:1-22

Routing

The application uses React Router v7 with nested routes and protected routes.

Route Configuration

ui/src/routes/index.tsx

import { createBrowserRouter, RouterProvider } from 'react-router-dom';
import { AppShell } from '@/components/layout';
import { ProtectedRoute } from '@/components/auth';

const router = createBrowserRouter([
  {
    path: '/signin',
    element: <Login />,
  },
  {
    path: '/tier/select',
    element: <TierSelection />,
  },
  {
    path: '/invite',
    element: <AcceptInvite />,
  },
  {
    path: '/',
    element: (
      <ProtectedRoute>
        <AppShell />
      </ProtectedRoute>
    ),
    children: [
      { index: true, element: <Dashboard /> },
      { path: 'secrets', element: <Secrets /> },
      { path: 'billing', element: <Billing /> },
      { path: 'teams', element: <Teams /> },
      { path: 'teams/:teamId', element: <TeamSettings /> },
      { path: 'settings/team', element: <TeamSettings /> },
      { path: 'settings/org', element: <OrgSettings /> },
      { path: 'admin/templates', element: <TemplatesAdmin /> },
      { path: 'admin/clients', element: <ClientsAdmin /> },
      { path: 'admin/platform', element: <PlatformAdmin /> },
      { path: 'settings', element: <Settings /> },
      { path: 'deploy-image', element: <DeployImage /> },
      { path: 'deployments/:name', element: <DeploymentDetails /> },
      { path: 'sandboxes', element: <Sandboxes /> },
      { path: 'sandboxes/:id', element: <SandboxDetails /> },
    ],
  },
]);

Source: ui/src/routes/index.tsx:24-106

Protected Routes

All authenticated routes are wrapped in <ProtectedRoute> which:

Checks for valid session
Redirects to /signin if unauthorized
Handles 401 errors from API

Component Organization

Layout Components

AppShell: Main layout with navigation, sidebar, and content area
ProtectedRoute: Authentication guard
Navigation: Top navigation bar with user menu
Sidebar: Left sidebar with feature navigation

Vite Configuration

vite.config.ts

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react'
import tailwindcss from '@tailwindcss/vite'
import path from 'path'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [react(), tailwindcss()],
  resolve: {
    alias: {
      '@': path.resolve(__dirname, './src'),
    },
  },
  server: {
    proxy: {
      '/api': 'http://localhost:8080',
      '/auth': 'http://localhost:8080',
      '/oauth2': 'http://localhost:8080',
      '/login': 'http://localhost:8080',
      '/logout': 'http://localhost:8080',
    },
  },
})

Source: ui/vite.config.ts:1-24

Development Commands

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Start development server
npm run dev

# Build for production
npm run build

# Lint code
npm run lint

# Preview production build
npm run preview

Key Features

Path Aliasing

Vite is configured with @ alias pointing to src/ for clean imports:

import { api } from '@/api/client';
import { useAuth } from '@/api/hooks';
import { Button } from '@/components/common';

Development Proxy

Vite proxies API requests to the Go backend during development:

/api/* → http://localhost:8080
/auth/* → http://localhost:8080
/oauth2/* → http://localhost:8080

Source: ui/vite.config.ts:14-21

Hot Module Replacement

Vite provides instant HMR for React components with state preservation.

TypeScript Strict Mode

The project uses TypeScript strict mode for maximum type safety:

tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "strict": true,
    "noUnusedLocals": true,
    "noUnusedParameters": true,
    "noFallthroughCasesInSwitch": true
  }
}

State Management

The application uses TanStack Query for server state and React Context for UI state:

Server state: TanStack Query handles all API data
Auth state: AuthProvider context for user session
Theme state: ThemeProvider context for dark/light mode
Local state: React hooks (useState, useReducer)

Styling

The UI uses Tailwind CSS 4 with the Vite plugin for instant compilation:

import tailwindcss from '@tailwindcss/vite'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [react(), tailwindcss()],
})

Source: ui/vite.config.ts:3,8

Build Output

Production builds are optimized with:

Code splitting
Tree shaking
Asset optimization
Minification

Build output goes to ui/dist/ and is served by the Go backend.

Server Architecture

Go backend with HTTP handlers and middleware

Operator

Kubernetes operator for deployment reconciliation
