Reveal/RevealGroup called `motion(as)` inside the render body. Unlike the cached `motion.div` accessor, calling `motion()` as a function returns a brand-new component type on every invocation. So each re-render produced a different element type at that position, React unmounted and remounted the whole subtree, and any focused <input> inside (the login/signup/forgot-password forms) lost focus on every keystroke — you could only type one character at a time. Cache one motion component per element type via a module-level map so the component reference stays stable across renders. React now reconciles in place and focus is preserved. Verified with a Playwright A/B test on the login form: before the fix typing "test@example.com" left only "t" with focus on <body> (1 blur mid-type); after the fix the full value is retained, focus stays on the input, zero blurs.
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
