Align the shared @storyteller/ui-moodboard surface with the webapp's design language across both hosts (Tauri desktop + webapp), plus several UX fixes. Theming & layout - Use `var(--st-bg, hsl(0 0% 9%))` for the workspace/grid background so desktop follows the active theme while the webapp falls back to its --background token (replaces the desktop-only bg-ui-background class). - Fix desktop overflow: the fixed TopBar is 56px, so the moodboard tab now uses h-screen + pt-[56px] + overflow-hidden, killing the stray vertical/horizontal scrollbars on an empty board. Grid view root clips too. Empty state & toolbars - Empty-state Upload / From-library CTAs now use the shared Button, matching the webapp create pages (h-12, pill, semibold; primary + secondary). - Restyle SelectionBar to match the library multiselect bar (solid pill, filled bg-ui-controls buttons, red Delete, round clear); align the "Move to" menu/items/Kbd to the same idiom. - Restyle SmartSearchBar (bg-ui-controls, rounded-xl) and tighten ToolbarShell padding. - Add a tooltip to the toolbar's Add Color button to match the sibling buttons. Notes - Adding a note creates an empty, immediately-editable note (autofocusing inline textarea; commit on blur/Enter, Shift+Enter newline, Esc reverts); double-click re-enters edit mode — no more stuck "New note". - Pad the note's top so the selection check no longer overlaps the first line. Selection - Clicks accumulate: clicking an item adds it to the selection (clicking again removes it), so multi-select builds up without a modifier; background click clears. "Use as reference" only shows when the selection has a reference-capable image. Item inspector - Redesign ItemInspector to mirror the shared LightboxModal: a bounded, centered, draggable/resizable Modal with media on a dark plate, hover nav arrows, and a fixed info/actions column using shared Buttons. Webapp homepage - Add a Moodboard card next to Edit Video on the webapp home page.
Frontend
This is an nx monorepo that can contain multiple apps and shared libraries.
All commands to run these projects are performed from this directory (except the repo-root launcher scripts noted below).
Requirements
- Node.js 20+ (Nx 21 / Vite 6 requirement). Install via nvm,
nodejs.org, or
brew install node. - npm (ships with Node).
We use npm, not pnpm. pnpm was briefly adopted ("add pnpm to solve build issues") and later removed ("fix(frontend): consume video-editor libs via nx path aliases, drop pnpm"). If you have leftovers from that era — a
pnpm-lock.yaml,pnpm-workspace.yaml, or anode_modules/.pnpmdirectory — npm installs will fail (typically withENOTEMPTYrename errors). See Troubleshooting below.
Install dependencies
npm install
Running the apps in dev mode
From the repository root, the launcher scripts (these preflight your environment, install dependencies, and free the dev port first):
./script/website/unix_frontend_dev.sh # artcraft-website (marketing site), port 4200
./script/website/unix_frontend_webapp_dev.sh # artcraft-webapp (user dashboard), port 4201
./script/artcraft/unix_frontend_dev.sh # artcraft (Tauri app frontend), port 5173
Or directly from this directory:
nx dev artcraft-website
nx dev artcraft-webapp
nx dev artcraft # NB: the Tauri app also needs the Rust dev server running
nx dev editor2d
Building
npx nx build artcraft-website
npx nx build artcraft-webapp
npx nx build artcraft
npx nx build editor2d
Netlify deploys run apps/<app>/script/netlify_build.sh (see each app's
netlify.toml).
Troubleshooting
npm install fails with ENOTEMPTY: directory not empty, rename ...
Your node_modules tree is corrupted — usually an interrupted install, or a
tree written by pnpm back when the repo briefly used it. Fix:
./clean_modules.sh
npm install
Or the manual minimum:
rm -rf node_modules .nx pnpm-lock.yaml pnpm-workspace.yaml
npm install
Stale build state after switching branches
Call this when starting on main or a new branch:
./clean_modules.sh
It removes all dist/ outputs, resets the nx cache, and removes
node_modules.
Import aliases
The names for @frontend and @storyteller come from the package.json file
in the libs folder:
import { Login } from "@frontend/login";
import { api } from "@storyteller/api";
For shared UI components, import from @storyteller/ui-[componentname]:
import { Button } from "@storyteller/ui-button";
import { Modal } from "@storyteller/ui-modal";
Generating a new component library
# 1. Generate the library
npx nx g @nx/react:library libs/components/toaster --import-path=@storyteller/ui-toaster --bundler=vite
npm install
# 2. Import it somewhere in code
# 3. Sync and build
nx sync
nx build
