|
|
|
|
## What Was Built
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Features Delivered
|
|
|
|
1. **Interactive D3.js UML Viewer** ✨
|
|

|
|
- Click nodes for detailed information panel
|
|
- 14 heritage custodian ontology diagrams ready to visualize
|
|
- NDE house style branding (blue #0a3dfa, dark blue #172a59)

|
|
|
2. **Multi-Format Parser**
|
|

## 🚀 How to Run (3 Steps)
|
|
|
|
### Step 1: Navigate to Frontend Directory
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd /Users/kempersc/apps/glam/frontend
|
|
```
|
|
⚠️ **CRITICAL**: Must run from `frontend/` directory, NOT project root!
|
|
|
|
### Step 2: Start Development Server
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm run dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Expected output:
|
|
```
|
|
VITE v5.x.x ready in XXX ms
|
|
|
|
➜ Local: http://localhost:5174/
|
|
➜ Network: use --host to expose
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Step 3: Open Browser
|
|
Navigate to: **http://localhost:5174/uml-viewer**
|

## 🔧 Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### Issue 1: npm run dev fails with ENOENT error
|
|
|
|
**Error Message**:
|
|
```
|
|
npm error enoent Could not read package.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Cause**: Running `npm run dev` from wrong directory (project root instead of frontend/)
|
|
|
|
**Solution**:
|
|
```bash
|
|
# ❌ WRONG
|
|
cd /Users/kempersc/apps/glam
|
|
npm run dev
|
|
|
|
# ✅ CORRECT
|
|
cd /Users/kempersc/apps/glam/frontend
|
|
npm run dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### Issue 2: Port 5174 already in use
|
|
|
|
**Error Message**:
|
|
```
|
|
Error: Port 5174 is already in use
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Solution**:
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Find and kill process using port 5174
|
|
kill -9 $(lsof -ti:5174)
|
|
|
|
# Then restart
|
|
npm run dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### Issue 3: UML diagrams not loading (404 errors)
|
|
|
|
**Error in Console**:
|
|
```
|
|
Failed to load: http://localhost:5174/schemas/.../diagram.mmd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Solution**: Schema files not copied to public directory
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd /Users/kempersc/apps/glam
|
|
|
|
# Copy schema files
|
|
cp schemas/20251121/uml/mermaid/*.mmd frontend/public/schemas/20251121/uml/mermaid/
|
|
cp schemas/20251121/uml/plantuml/*.puml frontend/public/schemas/20251121/uml/plantuml/
|
|
cp schemas/20251121/uml/graphviz/*.dot frontend/public/schemas/20251121/uml/graphviz/
|
|
cp schemas/20251121/uml/erdiagram/*.mmd frontend/public/schemas/20251121/uml/erdiagram/
|
|
|
|
# Verify files copied
|
|
ls -la frontend/public/schemas/20251121/uml/mermaid/
|
|
|
|
# Restart dev server
|
|
cd frontend
|
|
npm run dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Issue 4: TypeScript build warnings
|
|
|
|
**Warning Messages**:
|
|
```
|
|
TS6133: 'useRef' is declared but its value is never read
|
|
TS1484: 'ConnectionDegree' is a type and must be imported...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note**: These are non-critical warnings. The app runs fine in dev mode. They can be fixed later by:
|
|
- Removing unused variables/imports
|
|
- Adding `type` keyword to type-only imports
|
