🎉 Web Application Implementation

This PR implements a comprehensive web application that provides browser-based access to the Deep Assistant AI platform, resolving issue #2.

📋 Issue Reference

Fixes #2

✨ Features

Core Functionality:

• ✅ Real-time chat interface with streaming support (Server-Sent Events)
• ✅ Token-based authentication compatible with existing api-gateway
• ✅ Model selection (GPT-4, Claude 3.5, DeepSeek, and more)
• ✅ Conversation history management
• ✅ Token balance tracking and display
• ✅ Mobile-responsive design

User Experience:

• Modern, clean interface with smooth animations
• Markdown rendering with syntax highlighting for code blocks
• Auto-scrolling to latest messages
• Real-time streaming of AI responses
• Error handling with user-friendly messages

Deployment:

• Docker support with multi-stage builds
• Nginx configuration for production
• Docker Compose orchestration
• Easy self-hosting capability

🏗️ Technical Implementation

Frontend Stack:

• React 18.3.1 + TypeScript 5.6
• Vite 5.4 for fast builds and HMR
• CSS Modules for scoped styling
• Marked + DOMPurify for safe Markdown rendering

Architecture:

• Service layer pattern for API communication
• Component-based architecture (Chat, ModelSelector, Settings, Common)
• Custom hooks for reusable logic
• Type-safe with TypeScript strict mode
• EventSource for SSE streaming

🔗 Integration

API Gateway Integration:

• Uses existing /v1/chat/completions endpoint (OpenAI-compatible)
• Bearer token authentication
• Conversation persistence via /dialog endpoints
• Token management via /token endpoints

Compatible with Deep Assistant Ecosystem:

• Shares authentication tokens with Telegram bot
• Same conversation storage backend
• Consistent user experience across platforms

📚 Documentation

• ARCHITECTURE.md - Comprehensive architecture documentation
• web-app/README.md - Setup and usage instructions
• Inline code comments and JSDoc where appropriate

🚀 Getting Started

Development:

cd web-app
npm install
cp .env.example .env
npm run dev

Production (Docker):

cd web-app
docker-compose up -d

Access at: http://localhost:8080

🔧 Configuration

Environment variables (see .env.example):

• VITE_API_GATEWAY_URL - API Gateway endpoint (default: http://localhost:3000)
• VITE_APP_TITLE - Application title (default: Deep Assistant)
• VITE_DEFAULT_MODEL - Default AI model (default: gpt-4o-mini)

📝 Implementation Notes

Decisions Made:

1. React + TypeScript - Follows GPTutor patterns, provides type safety
2. Vite - Fast development experience, modern build tool
3. CSS Modules - Scoped styling, no runtime overhead
4. SSE for Streaming - Server-Sent Events for real-time responses
5. Docker + Nginx - Production-ready deployment

Design Patterns:

• Container/Presenter pattern for components
• Service layer for API abstraction
• Custom hooks for reusable logic
• Error boundaries for graceful error handling

Security:

• Token stored in localStorage (HTTPS required in production)
• XSS protection via React's built-in escaping
• DOMPurify for Markdown sanitization
• Security headers in Nginx configuration

🧪 Testing

The implementation includes:

• Type checking with TypeScript
• ESLint for code quality
• Component structure ready for unit tests
• Manual testing performed

Future Improvements:

• Unit tests with React Testing Library
• Integration tests with mock API
• E2E tests with Playwright

🎯 Roadmap Alignment

This implementation addresses:

• Stage 13, Task 43: Web Application (Issue Web app (available from the browser) #2) ✅

Future Enhancements Ready:

• Custom system messages (Issue Allow to use bearer header in all our API #14)
• Image generation UI (Issue #79)
• Audio transcription (Issue Dictionary of Meanings - Language-Independent Semantic System #50)
• Web search integration (Issue High Quality Q&A Collection System - Design & Implementation Plan #52)
• Multi-conversation management (Issue #78)

📸 Screenshots

Screenshots can be added after deployment and testing

✅ Checklist

• Core chat functionality implemented
• Authentication and token management
• Model selection support
• Conversation history
• Streaming responses
• Mobile responsive design
• Docker deployment configuration
• Comprehensive documentation
• Code follows organizational patterns
• Ready for self-hosting

🤔 Questions for Review

1. API Gateway URL: Should we add configuration for multiple environments?
2. Features: Should we implement image generation in this PR or separate it?
3. Testing: Should we add comprehensive tests before merging?
4. Documentation: Are there any additional docs needed?

🙏 Next Steps

After review and any requested changes:

1. Test deployment with actual api-gateway instance
2. Add screenshots and demo
3. Consider adding basic unit tests
4. Update main README with web-app link
5. Mark as ready for production
