decisions:
|
|
- "useSearchParams wrapped in Suspense boundary — Next.js 16 requires this for static prerendering of pages using URL params"
|
|
- "Stable callback refs in useChatSocket — onMessage/onTyping held in refs so WebSocket effect re-runs only when conversationId or auth changes, not on every render"
|
|
- "Optimistic user message appended locally before server echo — avoids waiting for WebSocket roundtrip to show the user's own message"
|
|
- "ChatPageInner + ChatPage split — useSearchParams must be inside Suspense; outer page provides fallback"

# Phase 6 Plan 02: Web Chat Portal UI Summary
|
|
|
|
**One-liner:** Full portal chat UI with WebSocket hook, markdown-rendering message bubbles, animated typing indicator, and conversation sidebar connecting to the Plan 01 gateway backend.
|
|
|
|
## What Was Built
|
|
|
|
This plan delivers the user-facing chat experience on top of the backend infrastructure from Plan 01.
|
|
|
|
### useChatSocket Hook (`lib/use-chat-socket.ts`)
|
|
|
|
WebSocket lifecycle management for browser clients:
|
|
- Connects to `${NEXT_PUBLIC_WS_URL}/chat/ws/{conversationId}`
|
|
- Sends JSON auth message immediately on open (browser WebSocket cannot send custom HTTP headers — established in Plan 01)
|
|
- Parses `{"type": "typing"}` and `{"type": "response", "text": "..."}` server messages
|
|
- Reconnects up to 3 times with 3-second delay after unexpected close
|
|
- Uses `useRef` for the WebSocket instance and callback refs for stable event handlers
|
|
- Intentional cleanup (unmount/conversationId change) sets `onclose = null` before closing to prevent spurious reconnect
|
|
|
|
### Chat Types and Query Hooks
|
|
|
|
Four new types in `api.ts`: `Conversation`, `ConversationMessage`, `CreateConversationRequest`, `ConversationDetail`.
|
|
|
|
Four new hooks in `queries.ts`:
|
|
- `useConversations(tenantId)` — lists all conversations for a tenant
|
|
- `useConversationHistory(conversationId)` — fetches last 50 messages
|
|
- `useCreateConversation()` — POST to create/get-or-create, invalidates conversations list
|
|
- `useDeleteConversation()` — DELETE with conversation + history invalidation
|
|
|
|
### Components
|
|
|
|
**TypingIndicator** — Three CSS `animate-bounce` dots with staggered `animationDelay` values (0ms, 150ms, 300ms) wrapped in a left-aligned muted bubble matching the assistant message style.
|
|
|
|
**ChatMessage** — Role-based bubble rendering:
|
|
- User: right-aligned, `bg-primary text-primary-foreground`, plain text
|
|
- Assistant: left-aligned, `bg-muted`, `Bot` icon avatar, full `react-markdown` with `remark-gfm` for code blocks, lists, links, tables
|
|
- Relative timestamp visible on hover via `opacity-0 group-hover:opacity-100`
|
|
|
|
**ChatSidebar** — Scrollable conversation list showing agent name, last message preview (truncated), and relative time. Active conversation highlighted with `bg-accent`. "New Conversation" button (Plus icon) triggers agent picker.
|
|
|
|
**ChatWindow** — Full-height conversation panel:
|
|
- Loads history via `useConversationHistory` on mount
|
|
- WebSocket via `useChatSocket` for real-time exchange
|
|
- Optimistically appends user message before server acknowledgement
|
|
- Auto-scrolls with `scrollIntoView({ behavior: "smooth" })` on new messages or typing changes
|
|
- Auto-growing textarea (capped at 96px / ~4 lines), Enter to send, Shift+Enter for newline
|
|
- Amber "Connecting..." banner when WebSocket disconnected
|
|
|
|
**ChatPage (`/chat`)** — Two-column layout (w-72 sidebar + flex-1 main):
|
|
- Reads `?id=` from URL via `useSearchParams` for bookmark/refresh support
|
|
- Agent picker dialog (base-ui `Dialog` with `render` prop on `DialogTrigger`) lists agents and calls `useCreateConversation`
|
|
- Session-derived auth headers passed to `ChatWindow` → `useChatSocket`
|
|
- Wrapped in `Suspense` (required for `useSearchParams` in Next.js 16)
|
|
|
|
### Nav Update
|
|
|
|
`MessageSquare` icon added to `nav.tsx` with `{ href: "/chat", label: "Chat" }` — no `allowedRoles` restriction, visible to operator, customer_admin, and platform_admin.
|
|
|
|
## Deviations from Plan
|
|
|
|
### Auto-fixed Issues
|
|
|
|
**1. [Rule 3 - Blocking] Suspense boundary required for useSearchParams**
|
|
- **Found during:** Task 2 build verification
|
|
- **Issue:** Next.js 16 static prerendering throws at build time when `useSearchParams()` is called outside a Suspense boundary: "useSearchParams() should be wrapped in a suspense boundary at page /chat"
|
|
- **Fix:** Extracted all page logic into `ChatPageInner` and wrapped it with `<Suspense fallback={...}>` in the `ChatPage` default export
|
|
- **Files modified:** `packages/portal/app/(dashboard)/chat/page.tsx`
|
|
- **Commit:** f9e67f9
