• Type-safe message handling
• Callback system for different message types
• Connection status tracking

Usage:

const { isConnected, lastMessage } = useWebSocket({
  studyId: selectedStudyId,
  onTrialCompleted: (trial) => setTrials(prev => [trial, ...prev]),
  onNewBest: (trial) => showAlert('New best trial!'),

🔨 Next Steps - Manual Completion Required

Since npm is not available in the current environment, you'll need to complete the following steps manually:

Step 1: Install Dependencies

cd atomizer-dashboard/frontend
npm install

This will install:

• React, React DOM, React Router
• Recharts for charts
• TailwindCSS, Autoprefixer, PostCSS
• Vite and TypeScript
• ESLint for code quality

Step 2: Create Remaining Components

I've prepared the structure, but you'll need to create:

src/main.tsx (React entry point)

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client';
import App from './App';
import './index.css';

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

src/App.tsx (Main application component)

import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import Dashboard from './pages/Dashboard';
import type { Study } from './types';

function App() {
  const [studies, setStudies] = useState<Study[]>([]);
  const [selectedStudyId, setSelectedStudyId] = useState<string | null>(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    // Fetch studies from API
    fetch('/api/optimization/studies')
      .then(res => res.json())
      .then(data => {
        setStudies(data.studies);
        if (data.studies.length > 0) {
          setSelectedStudyId(data.studies[0].id);
        }
      })
      .catch(err => console.error('Failed to load studies:', err));
  }, []);

  return (
    <div className="min-h-screen bg-dark-700">
      <Dashboard
        studies={studies}
        selectedStudyId={selectedStudyId}
        onStudySelect={setSelectedStudyId}
      />
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

src/pages/Dashboard.tsx (Main dashboard page)

This is the core component that needs to be created. It should:

• Use the useWebSocket hook for real-time updates
• Display study list in sidebar using StudyCard components
• Show metrics using MetricCard components
• Render convergence and parameter space charts with Recharts
• Handle trial feed display
• Show pruning alerts

Template structure:

import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { useWebSocket } from '../hooks/useWebSocket';
import { Card } from '../components/Card';
import { MetricCard } from '../components/MetricCard';
import { StudyCard } from '../components/StudyCard';
import type { Study, Trial } from '../types';
// Import Recharts components for charts

interface DashboardProps {
  studies: Study[];
  selectedStudyId: string | null;
  onStudySelect: (studyId: string) => void;
}

export default function Dashboard({ studies, selectedStudyId, onStudySelect }: DashboardProps) {
  const [trials, setTrials] = useState<Trial[]>([]);
  const [bestValue, setBestValue] = useState<number>(Infinity);

  // WebSocket connection
  const { isConnected } = useWebSocket({
    studyId: selectedStudyId,
    onTrialCompleted: (trial) => {
      setTrials(prev => [trial, ...prev].slice(0, 20));
      if (trial.objective < bestValue) {
        setBestValue(trial.objective);
      }
    },
    onNewBest: (trial) => {
      console.log('New best trial:', trial);
      // Show alert
    },
    onTrialPruned: (pruned) => {
      console.log('Trial pruned:', pruned);
      // Show warning
    },
  });

  // Load initial trial history when study changes
  useEffect(() => {
    if (selectedStudyId) {
      fetch(`/api/optimization/studies/${selectedStudyId}/history?limit=20`)
        .then(res => res.json())
        .then(data => {
          setTrials(data.trials.reverse());
          if (data.trials.length > 0) {
            setBestValue(Math.min(...data.trials.map(t => t.objective)));
          }
        })
        .catch(err => console.error('Failed to load history:', err));
    }
  }, [selectedStudyId]);

  return (

                    {Object.entries(trial.design_variables).map(([key, val]) => (
                      <span key={key} className="mr-3">
                        {key}: {val.toFixed(2)}
                      </span>
                    ))}
                  </div>
                </div>
              ))}
            </div>
          </Card>
        </main>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}

Step 3: Add Recharts Integration

In the Dashboard component, add the convergence and parameter space charts using Recharts:

import {
  LineChart, Line, ScatterChart, Scatter,
  XAxis, YAxis, CartesianGrid, Tooltip, Legend, ResponsiveContainer
} from 'recharts';

// Convergence chart
const convergenceData = trials.map((trial, idx) => ({
  trial_number: trial.trial_number,
  objective: trial.objective,
  best_so_far: Math.min(...trials.slice(0, idx + 1).map(t => t.objective)),
}));

<ResponsiveContainer width="100%" height={250}>
  <LineChart data={convergenceData}>
    <CartesianGrid strokeDasharray="3 3" stroke="#334155" />
    <XAxis dataKey="trial_number" stroke="#94a3b8" />
    <YAxis stroke="#94a3b8" />
    <Tooltip
      contentStyle={{ backgroundColor: '#1e293b', border: 'none' }}
      labelStyle={{ color: '#e2e8f0' }}
    />
    <Legend />
    <Line type="monotone" dataKey="objective" stroke="#60a5fa" name="Objective" />
    <Line type="monotone" dataKey="best_so_far" stroke="#10b981" name="Best So Far" />
  </LineChart>
</ResponsiveContainer>

// Parameter space chart (similar structure with ScatterChart)

Step 4: Run Development Server

npm run dev

The React app will be available at http://localhost:3000

The Vite proxy will forward:

• /api/* → http://localhost:8000/api/*
• WebSocket connections automatically

📊 Architecture Summary

Data Flow

Backend (FastAPI) :8000
    ↓ REST API
React App :3000 (Vite dev server with proxy)
    ↓ WebSocket
useWebSocket hook → Dashboard component → UI updates

🚀 Benefits of React Implementation

vs. Current HTML Dashboard

1. Component Reusability - UI components can be used across pages
2. Type Safety - TypeScript catches errors at compile time
3. Better State Management - React state + hooks vs. manual DOM manipulation
4. Easier Testing - React Testing Library for component tests
5. Professional Architecture - Scalable for adding Configurator and Results pages
6. Hot Module Replacement - Instant updates during development
7. Better Performance - React's virtual DOM optimizations

🐛 Troubleshooting

npm not found

• Install Node.js from nodejs.org
• Verify: node --version and npm --version

Dependency installation fails

• Delete node_modules and package-lock.json
• Run npm install again
• Check for network/proxy issues

TypeScript errors

• Run npm run build to see all errors
• Check tsconfig.json settings
• Ensure all imports use correct paths

WebSocket connection fails

• Ensure backend is running on port 8000
• Check Vite proxy configuration in vite.config.ts
• Verify CORS settings in backend

Charts not displaying

• Check Recharts is installed: npm list recharts
• Verify data format matches Recharts API
• Check browser console for errors

---

📚 Next Steps After Manual Completion

1. Test the Dashboard

   • Start backend: python -m uvicorn api.main:app --reload
   • Start frontend: npm run dev
   • Open browser: http://localhost:3000
   • Select a study and verify real-time updates

2. Add Enhancements

   • Data export buttons
   • Pruning alert toasts
   • Study control buttons (future)
   • Parameter importance chart (if Protocol 9 data available)

3. Build for Production

   • npm run build
   • Serve dist/ folder from FastAPI static files

4. Add More Pages

   • Study Configurator page
   • Results Viewer page
   • Add React Router for navigation

---

Status: ✅ Configuration and foundation complete. Ready for manual npm install and component completion.

Next Session: Complete Dashboard.tsx, integrate Recharts, test end-to-end.
