# Vite to Next.js Migration Plan

## Goal
Migrate from Vite to Next.js App Router to get proper API route support, with minimal changes to existing code.

## Configuration
- **Router**: App Router with `'use client'` on all pages
- **Rendering**: CSR only (no SSR) - simplifies migration since BabylonJS can't SSR
- **API Routes**: Claude API now, structured for future expansion
- **External Proxies**: Keep sync/create-db/images as Next.js rewrites to deepdiagram.com

---

## Phase 1: Setup (No Breaking Changes)

### 1.1 Install Next.js
```bash
npm install next
```

### 1.2 Create `next.config.js`
```javascript
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  async rewrites() {
    return [
      { source: '/sync/:path*', destination: 'https://www.deepdiagram.com/sync/:path*' },
      { source: '/create-db', destination: 'https://www.deepdiagram.com/create-db' },
      { source: '/api/images', destination: 'https://www.deepdiagram.com/api/images' },
    ];
  },
  webpack: (config, { isServer }) => {
    config.experiments = { ...config.experiments, asyncWebAssembly: true };
    return config;
  },
};
module.exports = nextConfig;
```

### 1.3 Update `tsconfig.json`
Add path alias:
```json
"baseUrl": ".",
"paths": { "@/*": ["./*"] }
```

---

## Phase 2: Create New Files

### 2.1 `src/react/providers.tsx` (extract from webApp.tsx)
- Move Auth0Provider and FeatureProvider wrapping here
- Add `'use client'` directive
- Handle window/document checks for SSR safety

### 2.2 `app/layout.tsx`
- Root layout with html/body tags
- Metadata (title, favicon from current index.html)
- Import global CSS

### 2.3 `app/globals.css`
```css
@import '../src/react/styles.css';
@import '@mantine/core/styles.css';
```

### 2.4 `app/api/claude/[...path]/route.ts`
- POST handler that proxies to api.anthropic.com
- Injects `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` from env
- Adds `x-api-key` and `anthropic-version` headers

### 2.5 Page files (all with `'use client'`)
| Route | File | Component |
|-------|------|-----------|
| `/` | `app/page.tsx` | About |
| `/documentation` | `app/documentation/page.tsx` | Documentation |
| `/examples` | `app/examples/page.tsx` | Examples |
| `/pricing` | `app/pricing/page.tsx` | Pricing |
| `/db/[visibility]/[db]` | `app/db/[visibility]/[db]/page.tsx` | VrExperience |
| 404 | `app/not-found.tsx` | NotFound |

### 2.6 `src/react/components/ProtectedPage.tsx`
- Next.js version of route protection
- Uses `useRouter` from `next/navigation` for redirects

---

## Phase 3: Modify Existing Files

### 3.1 `src/react/pages/vrExperience.tsx`
**Changes:**
- Remove `useParams()` from react-router-dom
- Accept `visibility` and `db` as props instead
- Replace `useNavigate()` with `useRouter()` from `next/navigation`

### 3.2 `src/react/pageHeader.tsx`
**Changes:**
- Replace `import {Link} from "react-router-dom"` with `import Link from "next/link"`
- Change `to={item.href}` to `href={item.href}` on Link components

### 3.3 `src/react/marketing/about.tsx`
**Changes:**
- Replace `useNavigate()` with `useRouter()` from `next/navigation`
- Change `navigate('/path')` to `router.push('/path')`

### 3.4 `package.json`
```json
"scripts": {
  "dev": "next dev -p 3001",
  "build": "node versionBump.js && next build",
  "start": "next start -p 3001",
  "test": "vitest",
  "socket": "node server/server.js",
  "serverBuild": "cd server && tsc"
}
```

## Phase 4: Delete Old Files

| File | Reason |
|------|--------|
| `vite.config.ts` | Replaced by next.config.js |
| `index.html` | Next.js generates HTML |
| `src/webApp.ts` | Entry point no longer needed |
| `src/react/webRouter.tsx` | Replaced by app/ routing |
| `src/react/webApp.tsx` | Logic moved to providers.tsx |
| `src/react/components/ProtectedRoute.tsx` | Replaced by ProtectedPage.tsx |

---

## Critical Files to Modify

- `src/react/pages/vrExperience.tsx` - useParams -> props
- `src/react/pageHeader.tsx` - react-router Link -> Next.js Link
- `src/react/marketing/about.tsx` - useNavigate -> useRouter
- `src/react/webApp.tsx` - extract to providers.tsx
- `package.json` - scripts update
- `tsconfig.json` - path aliases

---

## Migration Order

1. Install next, create next.config.js
2. Update tsconfig.json
3. Create app/globals.css
4. Create src/react/providers.tsx
5. Create app/layout.tsx
6. Create app/api/claude/[...path]/route.ts
7. Create src/react/components/ProtectedPage.tsx
8. Modify vrExperience.tsx (accept props)
9. Create all app/*/page.tsx files
10. Modify pageHeader.tsx (Next.js Link)
11. Modify about.tsx (useRouter)
12. Update package.json scripts
13. Delete old files (vite.config.ts, index.html, webApp.ts, webRouter.tsx, webApp.tsx)
14. Test all routes

## Notes

- **Havok WASM**: Move `HavokPhysics.wasm` to `public/` folder
- **react-router-dom**: Can be removed from dependencies after migration
- **vite devDependencies**: Can be removed (vite, vite-plugin-cp)
