This is the frontend for AutoGPT's next generation
## ๐งข Getting Started
This project uses [**pnpm**](https://pnpm.io/) as the package manager via **corepack**. [Corepack](https://github.com/nodejs/corepack) is a Node.js tool that automatically manages package managers without requiring global installations.
### Prerequisites
Make sure you have Node.js 16.10+ installed. Corepack is included with Node.js by default.
### โ ๏ธ Migrating from yarn
> This project was previously using yarn1, make sure to clean up the old files if you set it up previously with yarn:
>
> ```bash
> rm -f yarn.lock && rm -rf node_modules
> ```
>
> Then follow the setup steps below.
## Setup
### 1. **Enable corepack** (run this once on your system):
```bash
corepack enable
```
This enables corepack to automatically manage pnpm based on the `packageManager` field in `package.json`.
### 2. **Install dependencies**:
```bash
pnpm i
```
### 3. **Start the development server**:
#### Running the Front-end & Back-end separately
We recommend this approach if you are doing active development on the project. First spin up the Back-end:
```bash
# on `autogpt_platform`
docker compose --profile local up deps_backend -d
# on `autogpt_platform/backend`
poetry run app
```
Then start the Front-end:
```bash
# on `autogpt_platform/frontend`
pnpm dev
```
Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) with your browser to see the result. If the server starts on `http://localhost:3001` it means the Front-end is already running via Docker. You have to kill the container then or do `docker compose down`.
You can start editing the page by modifying `app/page.tsx`. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.
#### Running both the Front-end and Back-end via Docker
If you run:
```bash
# on `autogpt_platform`
docker compose up -d
```
It will spin up the Back-end and Front-end via Docker. The Front-end will start on port `3000`. This might not be
what you want when actively contributing to the Front-end as you won't have direct/easy access to the Next.js dev server.
### Subsequent Runs
For subsequent development sessions, you only need to run:
```bash
pnpm dev
```
Every time a new Front-end dependency is added by you or others, you will need to run `pnpm i` to install the new dependencies.
### Available Scripts
- `pnpm dev` - Start development server
- `pnpm build` - Build for production
- `pnpm start` - Start production server
- `pnpm lint` - Run ESLint and Prettier checks
- `pnpm format` - Format code with Prettier
- `pnpm types` - Run TypeScript type checking
- `pnpm test` - Run Playwright tests
- `pnpm test-ui` - Run Playwright tests with UI
- `pnpm fetch:openapi` - Fetch OpenAPI spec from backend
- `pnpm generate:api-client` - Generate API client from OpenAPI spec
- `pnpm generate:api` - Fetch OpenAPI spec and generate API client
This project uses [`next/font`](https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/font-optimization) to automatically optimize and load Inter, a custom Google Font.
## ๐ Data Fetching Strategy
> [!NOTE]
> You don't need to run the OpenAPI commands below to run the Front-end. You will only need to run them when adding or modifying endpoints on the Backend API and wanting to use those on the Frontend.
This project uses an auto-generated API client powered by [**Orval**](https://orval.dev/), which creates type-safe API clients from OpenAPI specifications.
### How It Works
1. **Backend Requirements**: Each API endpoint needs a summary and tag in the OpenAPI spec
2. **Operation ID Generation**: FastAPI generates operation IDs using the pattern `{method}{tag}{summary}`
3. **Spec Fetching**: The OpenAPI spec is fetched from `http://localhost:8006/openapi.json` and saved to the frontend
4. **Spec Transformation**: The OpenAPI spec is cleaned up using a custom transformer (see `autogpt_platform/frontend/src/app/api/transformers`)
5. **Client Generation**: Auto-generated client includes TypeScript types, API endpoints, and Zod schemas, organized by tags
### API Client Commands
```bash
# Fetch OpenAPI spec from backend and generate client
pnpm generate:api
# Only fetch the OpenAPI spec
pnpm fetch:openapi
# Only generate the client (after spec is fetched)
pnpm generate:api-client
```
### Using the Generated Client
The generated client provides React Query hooks for both queries and mutations:
#### Queries (GET requests)
```typescript
import { useGetV1GetNotificationPreferences } from "@/app/api/__generated__/endpoints/auth/auth";
const { data, isLoading, isError } = useGetV1GetNotificationPreferences({
query: {
select: (res) => res.data,
// Other React Query options
},
});
```
#### Mutations (POST, PUT, DELETE requests)
```typescript
import { useDeleteV2DeleteStoreSubmission } from "@/app/api/__generated__/endpoints/store/store";
import { getGetV2ListMySubmissionsQueryKey } from "@/app/api/__generated__/endpoints/store/store";
import { useQueryClient } from "@tanstack/react-query";
const queryClient = useQueryClient();
const { mutateAsync: deleteSubmission } = useDeleteV2DeleteStoreSubmission({
mutation: {
onSuccess: () => {
// Invalidate related queries to refresh data
queryClient.invalidateQueries({
queryKey: getGetV2ListMySubmissionsQueryKey(),
});
},
},
});
// Usage
await deleteSubmission({
submissionId: submission_id,
});
```
#### Server Actions
For server-side operations, you can also use the generated client functions directly:
```typescript
import { postV1UpdateNotificationPreferences } from "@/app/api/__generated__/endpoints/auth/auth";
// In a server action
const preferences = {
email: "user@example.com",
preferences: {
AGENT_RUN: true,
ZERO_BALANCE: false,
// ... other preferences
},
daily_limit: 0,
};
await postV1UpdateNotificationPreferences(preferences);
```
#### Server-Side Prefetching
For server-side components, you can prefetch data on the server and hydrate it in the client cache. This allows immediate access to cached data when queries are called:
```typescript
import { getQueryClient } from "@/lib/tanstack-query/getQueryClient";
import {
prefetchGetV2ListStoreAgentsQuery,
prefetchGetV2ListStoreCreatorsQuery
} from "@/app/api/__generated__/endpoints/store/store";
import { HydrationBoundary, dehydrate } from "@tanstack/react-query";
// In your server component
const queryClient = getQueryClient();
await Promise.all([
prefetchGetV2ListStoreAgentsQuery(queryClient, {
featured: true,
}),
prefetchGetV2ListStoreAgentsQuery(queryClient, {
sorted_by: "runs",
}),
prefetchGetV2ListStoreCreatorsQuery(queryClient, {
featured: true,
sorted_by: "num_agents",
}),
]);
