Project Hints and Analysis

Project Overview

The @uptime.link/statuspage (v1.0.74) is a web components catalog specifically designed for building status pages for UptimeLink - an uptime monitoring platform. This catalog provides pre-built, customizable UI components that can be assembled to create complete status pages.

Core Purpose

• Primary Function: Provide a comprehensive set of web components for building status monitoring dashboards
• Target Audience: Developers building status pages for services using UptimeLink monitoring
• Key Features: Real-time status display, incident management, historical data visualization

Architecture

• Package Name: @uptime.link/statuspage (v1.0.74)
• Project Type: Web Component Catalog (wcc)
• Module Type: ESM (ECMAScript Modules)
• Distribution: Private npm package on verdaccio.lossless.one registry
• License: UNLICENSED (proprietary to Lossless GmbH)

Technology Stack

• Framework: @design.estate/dees-element - A web components framework with:
  • TypeScript decorators for component registration
  • Built-in CSS-in-JS with theme support
  • Shadow DOM encapsulation
  • Property binding system
• DOM Utilities: @design.estate/dees-domtools for DOM manipulation
• Interfaces: @uptime.link/interfaces for shared data structures
• Build Tools:
  • tsbuild: TypeScript compilation with --allowimplicitany flag
  • tsbundle: Creates production bundles for web components
  • tswatch: Development file watching
  • TypeScript target: ES2022 with NodeNext module resolution

Component Library

The catalog provides 7 main components + 1 internal component:

Main Components:

1. upl-statuspage-header:

   • Page header with customizable title
   • Action buttons for "Report Incident" and "Subscribe to Updates"
   • Emits custom events: 'reportNewIncident' and 'statusSubscribe'

2. upl-statuspage-statusbar:

   • Main status indicator showing overall system health
   • Visual status representation (likely green/yellow/red indicators)

3. upl-statuspage-assetsselector:

   • Component for selecting/filtering which assets to view
   • Useful for multi-service status pages

4. upl-statuspage-statusdetails:

   • Detailed status information display
   • Shows granular status data for selected services

5. upl-statuspage-statusmonth:

   • Monthly calendar view of status history
   • Visual representation of uptime/downtime over time

6. upl-statuspage-incidents:

   • Incident management display
   • Properties: currentIncidences and pastIncidences (arrays of IIncident)
   • Supports whitelabel mode
   • Shows active and historical incidents

7. upl-statuspage-footer:

   • Page footer with legal information link
   • Customizable legal URL

Internal Components:

• uplinternal-miniheading: Internal component for consistent heading styling

Data Flow & Integration

• Components receive data through properties (using @property decorator)
• Incident data follows the IIncident interface from @uptime.link/interfaces
• Components are designed to work standalone or together
• Event-driven communication between components

Styling & Theming

• CSS-in-JS approach using cssManager
• Built-in light/dark theme support via bdTheme() helper
• Font: Inter (loaded via assetbroker)
• Responsive design with max-width constraints (900px)
• Background colors: Light (#eeeeeb) / Dark (#222222)
• Text colors: Light (#333333) / Dark (#ffffff)

Build Output Structure

• Source: ts_web/ directory
• Compiled output: dist_ts_web/ (ES modules with TypeScript definitions)
• Bundle output: dist_bundle/ (production-ready bundle with source maps)
• Development server: dist_watch/ with index.html for testing

Usage Pattern

1. Import components from the package
2. Create elements using document.createElement()
3. Set properties programmatically
4. Append to DOM
5. Handle custom events for user interactions

Recent Updates (from changelog)

• v1.0.74: Improved font loading strategy using single assetbroker link
• v1.0.73: Enhanced documentation and aligned project descriptions
• v1.0.72: Fixed import paths and updated package configurations

Development Workflow

• pnpm build: Compile TypeScript and create production bundle
• pnpm watch: Start development server with hot reload
• pnpm test: Currently just runs build (no actual tests implemented)
• Demo page available at html/index.html using page1 template

Key Observations

1. The project follows a consistent pattern for all components
2. Each component is self-contained with its own styling
3. Theme support is built-in for all components
4. The project is part of a larger UptimeLink ecosystem
5. Components are designed for composition into complete status pages
6. No test files are currently implemented despite test infrastructure being set up

Production Readiness Analysis (v1.0.74)

Current State

The components are essentially UI shells - they have styling and structure but lack actual functionality. They display static/hardcoded content with no real data integration.

Major Missing Functionality

1. Data Integration

• No API client or data fetching logic - components can't retrieve real status data
• No authentication/authorization - no secure API communication
• No real-time updates - no WebSocket/SSE implementation
• Static content only - statusbar always shows "Everything is working normally!"
• Empty data properties - currentIncidences/pastIncidences arrays are never populated

2. Component Implementation Gaps

• upl-statuspage-assetsselector: Only shows "Hello!" - missing entire asset selection UI
• upl-statuspage-statusbar: Hardcoded green status - no dynamic status calculation
• upl-statuspage-statusdetails: Shows 48 static green bars - no actual hourly data
• upl-statuspage-statusmonth: Shows 150 static green days - no real uptime data
• upl-statuspage-incidents: Only shows "No incidents" - missing incident card rendering
• upl-statuspage-footer: Placeholder "Hi there" - missing actual footer content

3. Error Handling & States

• No loading indicators during data fetch
• No error states for failed requests
• No offline detection or handling
• No retry mechanisms
• No skeleton screens

4. Accessibility Issues

• No ARIA labels on interactive elements
• No keyboard navigation support
• No focus management
• No screen reader announcements
• Missing semantic HTML (divs instead of buttons/nav)
• No skip navigation links

5. Responsive Design Issues

• Fixed 900px max-width with no proper mobile breakpoints
• Grid layouts won't adapt to small screens
• No touch-friendly tap targets
• Font sizes not responsive

6. Internationalization

• All text hardcoded in English
• No i18n framework or translation system
• No locale-aware date/time formatting
• No RTL language support

7. Missing Infrastructure

• No configuration system for API endpoints
• No analytics integration
• No performance monitoring
• No PWA capabilities
• No export functionality
• No proper TypeScript interfaces for data models
• No tests whatsoever despite test infrastructure

Production Requirements Summary

To make these components production-ready requires implementing:

1. Complete data layer with API client
2. State management system
3. All missing UI functionality
4. Comprehensive error handling
5. Full accessibility compliance
6. Proper responsive design
7. Internationalization support
8. Authentication/authorization
9. Real-time update capabilities
10. Comprehensive test suite

Demo Architecture

• All demos have been updated to use dees-demowrapper with runAfterRender callbacks
• Properties are set dynamically on elements within runAfterRender
• Multiple demo sections show different use cases and states
• Event logging demonstrates interactivity
• Demos can be instrumented with multiple wrappers for different scenarios

Interfaces Implemented

Created comprehensive TypeScript interfaces in ts_web/interfaces/index.ts:

• IServiceStatus - Service monitoring data
• IOverallStatus - Overall system status
• IIncidentUpdate - Incident update entries
• IIncidentDetails - Full incident information
• IMonthlyUptime - Monthly uptime calendar data
• IStatusHistoryPoint - Hourly status data points
• IStatusPageConfig - Configuration options

Remaining Tasks

• Integration with actual UptimeLink API
• WebSocket/SSE for real-time updates
• Authentication/authorization implementation
• Accessibility improvements (ARIA labels, keyboard navigation)
• More comprehensive responsive design
• Internationalization system
• Unit and integration tests

Important Fix Applied

The dees-demowrapper component was not functioning because it wasn't being imported. Fixed by adding:

import '@design.estate/dees-wcctools/demotools';

to html/index.ts. This registers the dees-demowrapper custom element which properly executes the runAfterRender callbacks in demos.
