BFlat ade1ff65a3 **UX fixes:**
- Fixed a jarring post-auth redirect: the webapp auth layout used to bounce the
  user home the moment login/signup completed, then yank them to Stripe once
  the checkout session finished creating. The auth layout now owns the
  checkout redirect: it keeps the user on the auth screen with a
  "Taking you to secure checkout" spinner until the Stripe redirect fires
  (falling back to home if checkout fails to start)
- The website signup and login pages show the same inline spinner while the
  checkout session is being created
- A logged-in user opening a `/signup?plan=...` link directly is now sent
  straight to checkout instead of seeing the signup form
- Signup pages now autofocus the email field (the form's `autoFocus` prop was
  never passed by either app)

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 a node_modules/.pnpm directory — npm installs will fail (typically with ENOTEMPTY rename 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
