# TestDrive-JSUI
**A JavaScript-first markdown editor and UI library.**
TestDrive-JSUI is a pure JavaScript library for interactive markdown editing with section-based management. Language adapters (Python, Ruby, Java) are optional integration helpers for serving assets and backend integration - they do not provide core functionality.
## π― **Purpose**
TestDrive-JSUI is designed to:
- **π Provide a complete JavaScript library** for interactive markdown editing
- **π Work standalone in any browser** without backend requirements
- **π Offer optional language adapters** for Python, Ruby, Java, etc.
- **βοΈ Enable section-based editing** with independent section management
- **π¨ Support multiple modes** (edit/view) and themes
- **πΎ Handle content persistence** (localStorage, download, custom backends)
- **π§ͺ Include comprehensive testing** for JavaScript and integrations
- **π Support extensibility** through events and configuration
## ποΈ **Architecture: JavaScript-First Design**
TestDrive-JSUI follows a **JavaScript-first architecture**:

```
**Key Principle:** JavaScript provides ALL functionality. Language adapters only help with:
- Asset serving
- Configuration injection
- Backend integration (storage, auth, etc.)
- Testing infrastructure

**Key Design Principles:**
- **Single Source of Truth**: All assets in one capability directory
- **Self-Declaration**: Plugin declares its own paths (no hardcoded discovery)
- **Clean Boundaries**: JSON config interface between Python and JavaScript
- **No Code Mixing**: JavaScript stays in `.js` files, never embedded in Python
- **Plugin Independence**: Can be moved/installed anywhere
## π **Quick Start**
### Prerequisites
- **Python 3.8+** with pip
- **Node.js 16+** with npm (optional, for JavaScript testing)
### Standalone Installation
TestDrive-JSUI can be used completely independently of MarkiTect:
```bash
# Clone or copy this directory
git clone testdrive-jsui
cd testdrive-jsui
# Install Python package in development mode
pip install -e .
# (Optional) Install JavaScript dependencies for testing
npm install
```
### Integration with MarkiTect
If using within the MarkiTect project:
```bash
# Navigate to the capability directory
cd capabilities/testdrive-jsui
# Quick setup (installs everything)
make testdrive-jsui-quickstart
# Or step by step:
make testdrive-jsui-setup # Install all dependencies
make testdrive-jsui-status # Check environment
make testdrive-jsui-test-all # Run all tests
```
## π¦ **Standalone Usage**
### As a Rendering Engine Plugin
TestDrive-JSUI implements a plugin interface that allows it to be used independently:
```python
from pathlib import Path
from testdrive_jsui import TestDriveJSUIEngine
# Create engine instance
engine = TestDriveJSUIEngine()
# The engine declares its own location - no hardcoded paths!
source_dir = engine.get_plugin_source_dir()
print(f"Plugin located at: {source_dir}")
# Get organized asset paths
asset_paths = engine.get_asset_paths()
# Returns: {'js': Path(...), 'css': Path(...), 'images': Path(...), 'templates': Path(...)}
# Get required assets list
assets = engine.get_required_assets()
# Returns: {'js': [...], 'css': [...], 'images': [...], 'external': [...]}
```
### Rendering Documents
Use the engine to render markdown content with an interactive JavaScript UI:
```python
from testdrive_jsui import TestDriveJSUIEngine
from markitect.plugins.rendering import RenderingConfig
from pathlib import Path
# Create engine
engine = TestDriveJSUIEngine()
# Configure for development (serves from source)
config = RenderingConfig(
asset_base_url='.',
development_mode=True,
plugin_source_dirs={'testdrive-jsui': engine.get_plugin_source_dir()}
)
# Render markdown content
markdown_content = """
# My Document
This is a test of the **TestDrive-JSUI** rendering engine.
## Features
- Interactive editing
- Section management
- Debug controls
"""
html = engine.render_document(markdown_content, 'edit', config)
# Save to file
Path('output.html').write_text(html)
print("β
Rendered to output.html")
```
### Production Deployment
For production, deploy assets to a static directory:
```python
from testdrive_jsui import TestDriveJSUIEngine
from markitect.plugins.rendering import RenderingConfig
from pathlib import Path
engine = TestDriveJSUIEngine()
# Configure for production
config = RenderingConfig(
asset_base_url='/_static',
development_mode=False,
output_directory=Path('./dist')
)
# Assets will be copied to: dist/_static/plugins/testdrive-jsui/
html = engine.render_document(content, 'view', config)
```
### Plugin Independence
TestDrive-JSUI is designed to be fully independent:
- β
**Self-contained**: All assets in one directory
- β
**Self-declaring**: Plugin declares its own location
- β
**No hardcoded paths**: Works regardless of installation location
- β
**Clean interface**: Pure JSON configuration boundary
- β
**No JavaScript in Python**: All JS in separate files
- β
**Reusable**: Can be used in any Python project
### Supported Modes
```python
# Check supported rendering modes
modes = engine.get_supported_modes()
# Returns: ['edit', 'view']
# Validate a mode
if engine.validate_mode('edit'):
html = engine.render_document(content, 'edit', config)
```
## π§ͺ **Testing**

```bash
# Run JavaScript tests only
make testdrive-jsui-test-js
# Run with coverage
npm run test:coverage

## π§ **Development**
### Adding JavaScript Tests
1. Create test files in `js/tests/`:
```javascript
// js/tests/test-my-component.js
describe('MyComponent', () => {
test('should do something', () => {
// Your test here
});
});
```
2. Run tests:
```bash
make testdrive-jsui-test-js
```
### Adding Python Integration Tests
1. Create test files in `tests/`:
```python
# tests/test_my_integration.py
import pytest
from testdrive_jsui.testing import JavaScriptTestRunner
@pytest.mark.javascript
def test_my_js_component():
runner = JavaScriptTestRunner()
result = runner.run_specific_test('test-my-component.js')
assert result.success
```
2. Run tests:
```bash
make testdrive-jsui-test-integration
```
### Code Quality
```bash
# Lint JavaScript
make testdrive-jsui-lint-js
# Lint Python
make testdrive-jsui-lint-python
# Format Python code
make testdrive-jsui-format-python
```
## π **Integration with Main Project**
### Python Test Suite Integration
The capability provides pytest integration to run JavaScript tests from Python:
```python
# In main project tests
from testdrive_jsui.testing import JavaScriptTestRunner
def test_javascript_ui_components():
runner = JavaScriptTestRunner()
result = runner.run_js_tests()
assert result.success
assert result.tests_passed > 0
```
### Capability System Integration
The capability integrates with MarkiTect's capability discovery system:
```bash
# From main project
make capabilities-list # Shows testdrive-jsui
make testdrive-jsui-test-all # Direct delegation
make capabilities-test # Includes JS tests
```
## π **Testing Framework Features**
### JavaScript Test Runner
- **Jest integration** with JSDOM environment
- **Coverage reporting** with detailed metrics
- **Test isolation** with proper setup/teardown
- **Mock support** for DOM APIs and browser features
- **Async testing** support for modern JavaScript
### Python-JavaScript Bridge
- **Subprocess execution** of JavaScript tests
- **Result parsing** with structured output
- **Error handling** with detailed failure information
- **Test discovery** for pytest integration
- **Coverage integration** between Python and JavaScript
### Safety Mechanisms
- **Copy-first migration** (never move, always copy)
- **Dual-track testing** during migration
- **Gradual integration** with rollback options
- **Test verification** at each step
- **Environment validation** before execution
## π **Migration Strategy**
When migrating JavaScript UI code to this capability:
1. **Copy** (don't move) JavaScript files to `js/` directory
2. **Verify** tests work in new location
3. **Create** Python integration tests
4. **Run** dual-track testing to compare results
5. **Gradually** switch to capability-based testing
6. **Remove** original files only after full verification
## π **Examples**
### Running Specific Tests
```bash
# Run a specific JavaScript test
npm test -- --testNamePattern="SectionManager"
# Run specific Python integration test
pytest tests/test_section_manager_integration.py -v
# Run tests with coverage
npm run test:coverage
```
### Environment Information
```bash
# Get detailed environment info
make testdrive-jsui-info
# Check what tests are available
make testdrive-jsui-status
```
### Development Workflow
```bash
# Start development session
make testdrive-jsui-watch # Terminal 1: Watch JS tests
make testdrive-jsui-test-python # Terminal 2: Run Python tests
# Before committing
make testdrive-jsui-lint-js # Lint JavaScript
make testdrive-jsui-format-python # Format Python
make testdrive-jsui-test-all # Run all tests
```
## π― **Future Enhancements**
- **Visual regression testing** with screenshot comparison
- **Performance benchmarking** for JavaScript components
- **Browser automation** with Selenium/Playwright
- **Component documentation** auto-generation
- **Real browser testing** in CI/CD pipelines
## π **Troubleshooting**
