tegwick 3264517c91 refactor: eliminate duplicate control files and consolidate to capabilities/
- Removed duplicate control files from testdrive-jsui/static/js/controls/
- Removed duplicate control files from markitect/static/js/controls/
- Updated all references to point to capabilities/testdrive-jsui/js/controls/
- Fixed relative paths in test files and templates
- Consolidated to single source of truth in capabilities directory
- Updated plugin configuration and documentation references

This eliminates confusion and ensures all systems use the most recent
control implementations from the capabilities directory.

# TestDrive JSUI Plugin
Independent JavaScript UI plugin for Markitect markdown editing. Designed for standalone development and testing of JavaScript components without requiring the full Python Markitect environment.
## Features
- **Independent Development**: Work on UI components without Python setup
- **Clean Architecture**: JSON-based configuration interface
- **Modular Components**: Compass-positioned control panels
- **Real-time Editing**: Click any section to edit inline
- **Asset Management**: Proper separation of JS/CSS/image assets
## Directory Structure

```
## Development Setup
### Standalone Development (No Python Required)
1. **Start Development Server**:
```bash
cd testdrive-jsui
npm run dev
# or use Python's built-in server:
python -m http.server 8080
```
2. **Open Test Document**:
Navigate to `http://localhost:8080/test.html` to see the UI in action.
3. **Edit JavaScript**:
- Modify files in `static/js/`
- Refresh browser to see changes
- Use browser DevTools for debugging
### Integration with Markitect
The plugin integrates with Markitect through the rendering engine system:
```bash
# Use with Markitect (when integrated)
markitect md-render --engine testdrive-jsui --mode edit document.md
```
## JavaScript Architecture
### Core Components
- **`main.js`**: Application entry point and initialization
- **`config-loader.js`**: Configuration interface (Python ↔ JavaScript)
- **`section-manager.js`**: Document section management
- **`dom-renderer.js`**: DOM manipulation and rendering
### Control Panels (Compass Positioning)
- **Northwest**: Contents/Navigation control
- **Northeast**: Edit actions control
- **East**: Status display control
- **Southeast**: Debug information control
### Configuration Interface
All Python data passes through a clean JSON interface:
```html
<script id="markitect-config" type="application/json">
{
"markdownContent": "# Document content...",
"mode": "edit",
"theme": "github",
...
}
</script>
```
## Testing
### Manual Testing
1. Load `test.html` in browser
2. Verify all controls load and position correctly
3. Test editing functionality
4. Check browser console for errors
### Automated Testing (Future)
- Unit tests for JavaScript components
- Integration tests for HTML rendering
- Browser automation tests
## Asset Management
### Development Mode
- Assets served directly from `static/` directory
- Hot reloading with development server
- No build process required
### Production Mode
- Assets copied to `_markitect/plugins/testdrive-jsui/`
- Integrated with Markitect deployment
- Configurable asset URLs
## Configuration
The plugin supports various configuration options:
```json
{
"pluginName": "testdrive-jsui",
"assetBaseUrl": "_markitect",
"developmentMode": true,
"pluginAssetDir": "_markitect/plugins/testdrive-jsui"
}
```
## Extending the Plugin
### Adding New Controls
1. Create new control in `../capabilities/testdrive-jsui/js/controls/`
2. Extend `ControlBase` class
3. Register in `main.js` initialization
4. Add compass position (nw, ne, e, se, s, sw, w, nw)
### Adding New Themes
1. Create CSS file in `static/css/themes/`
2. Update theme selection logic
3. Test with different markdown content
### Adding New Assets
1. Add files to appropriate `static/` subdirectory
2. Update `get_required_assets()` in plugin class
3. Reference in templates or JavaScript
## Integration Points
The plugin interfaces with Markitect through:
1. **Plugin Registry**: Auto-discovery of rendering engines
2. **Asset Management**: Deployment and URL generation
3. **Configuration**: JSON-based data transfer
4. **Templates**: HTML template system
