|
||||
- Touch gesture support
|
||||
- Efficient re-rendering
|
||||
- File upload handling
|
||||
- Nix-compatible build process
|
||||
|
||||
### Option A: React + Fabric.js ⭐⭐⭐
|
||||
**Pros:**
|
||||
- Largest ecosystem and community
|
||||
- Excellent TypeScript support
|
||||
- Well-documented
|
||||
- Many developers familiar with it
|
||||
|
||||
**Cons:**
|
||||
- Virtual DOM overhead for canvas operations
|
||||
- Larger bundle size (~45KB min+gzip for React)
|
||||
- More boilerplate for state management
|
||||
- Fabric.js is feature-rich but heavier (~280KB)
|
||||
|
||||
**Nix Compatibility:** ✅ Excellent (node2nix, buildNpmPackage)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Option B: Svelte + Konva.js ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **RECOMMENDED**
|
||||
**Pros:**
|
||||
- Compiles to vanilla JavaScript (no virtual DOM overhead)
|
||||
- Smallest bundle size (~10KB framework + components)
|
||||
- Truly reactive (no complex state management needed)
|
||||
- Excellent performance for canvas-heavy apps
|
||||
- Konva.js is optimized for interactive canvas (event handling, layering)
|
||||
- Native TypeScript support
|
||||
|
||||
**Cons:**
|
||||
- Smaller ecosystem than React
|
||||
- Fewer developers familiar with it
|
||||
- Less mature third-party components
|
||||
|
||||
**Nix Compatibility:** ✅ Excellent (buildNpmPackage, Vite integrates well)
|
||||
|
||||
**Why Konva.js over Fabric.js:**
|
||||
- Better performance for interactive applications
|
||||
- Built-in layering system (perfect for Z-order management)
|
||||
- Excellent event handling (click, drag, touch)

||||
- Better documentation for drag-and-drop use cases
|
||||
|
||||
**Performance Characteristics:**
|
||||
- Handles 500+ objects smoothly with proper layering
|
||||
- GPU-accelerated when available
|
||||
- Efficient hit detection and event delegation
|
||||
- Optimized for mobile touch gestures
|
||||
|
||||
**Code Example:**
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// Konva layer management (perfect for our Z-order requirements)
|
||||
const layer = new Konva.Layer();
|
||||
const image = new Konva.Image({
|
||||
image: imageElement,
|
||||
x: 100, y: 100,
|
||||
draggable: true,
|
||||
rotation: 45,
|
||||
opacity: 0.8
|
||||
});
|
||||
layer.add(image);
|
||||
stage.add(layer);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

from fastapi import FastAPI, UploadFile, File
|
||||
from fastapi.responses import StreamingResponse
|
||||
|
||||
@app.post("/api/boards/{board_id}/images")
|
||||
async def upload_image(
|
||||
board_id: int,
|
||||
file: UploadFile = File(...),
|
||||
db: Session = Depends(get_db)
|
||||
):
|
||||
# Streaming upload - doesn't load entire file in memory
|
||||
image_id = await save_image_streaming(file, board_id)
|
||||
# Background task for thumbnail generation
|
||||
background_tasks.add_task(generate_thumbnails, image_id)
|

|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// stores.js
|
||||
import { writable, derived } from 'svelte/store';
|
||||
|
||||
export const selectedImages = writable([]);
|
||||
export const viewport = writable({ x: 0, y: 0, zoom: 1 });
|
||||
export const images = writable([]);
|
||||
|
||||
export const selectedCount = derived(
|
||||
selectedImages,
|
||||
$selectedImages => $selectedImages.length
|
||||
);
|
||||
```

|
||||
### ✅ Developer Experience
|
||||
- **Fast Feedback:** Vite HMR in <50ms
|
||||
- **Type Safety:** Python type hints + Pydantic, optional TypeScript for frontend
|
||||
- **Debugging:** Excellent dev tools for all components
|
||||
- **Testing:** pytest (Python), Vitest (JS) - both Nix-compatible
|
||||
|
||||
### ✅ Deployment Simplicity
|
||||
- Single `flake.nix` defines entire stack
|
||||
- `nixos-rebuild` deploys to production
|
||||
- Rollback with `nixos-rebuild --rollback`
|
||||
- Reproducible builds guaranteed

## 12. Alternative Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### If You Prefer Functional Programming:
|
||||
- **Backend:** Haskell (Servant/Yesod) - excellent Nix support
|
||||
- **Frontend:** Elm - no runtime exceptions, great Nix support
|
||||
- **Trade-off:** Steeper learning curve, smaller ecosystem
|
||||
|
||||
### If You Want Maximum Type Safety:
|
||||
- **Backend:** Rust (Actix-web) - blazing fast, memory safe
|
||||
- **Frontend:** TypeScript + React - larger ecosystem
|
||||
- **Trade-off:** Slower development, more complex
|
||||
|
||||
### If You Want Simplest Deployment:
|
||||
- **Backend:** SQLite instead of PostgreSQL
|
||||
- **Storage:** Filesystem instead of MinIO
|
||||
- **Trade-off:** Harder to scale later

## 13. Migration Path
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 1 (MVP): Simple Stack
|
||||
- Frontend: Svelte + Konva.js
|
||||
- Backend: FastAPI
|
||||
- Database: SQLite
|
||||
- Storage: Filesystem
|
||||
- Deploy: Single NixOS server
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 2 (Scale): Production Stack
|
||||
- Upgrade SQLite → PostgreSQL
|
||||
- Add MinIO for images
|
||||
- Add Redis for caching
|
||||
- Keep same codebase (minimal changes)
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 3 (Cloud): Distributed Stack
|
||||
- Add CDN for images
|
||||
- Multi-region database replicas
|
||||
- Horizontal scaling with load balancer
|
||||
- MinIO → S3 (code doesn't change - S3-compatible API)

## 14. Nix Deployment Example
|
||||
|
||||
### flake.nix (Preview)
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{
|
||||
description = "webref - Reference Board Viewer";
|
||||
|
||||
inputs = {
|
||||
nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-24.05";
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
outputs = { self, nixpkgs }: {
|
||||
nixosModules.webref = { config, pkgs, ... }: {
|
||||
services.webref = {
|
||||
enable = true;
|
||||
frontend = ./frontend;
|
||||
backend = ./backend;
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
services.postgresql.enable = true;
|
||||
services.minio.enable = true;
|
||||
services.nginx = {
|
||||
enable = true;
|
||||
virtualHosts."webref.local" = {
|
||||
locations."/" = {
|
||||
root = "${self.packages.x86_64-linux.frontend}";
|
||||
};
|
||||
locations."/api" = {
|
||||
proxyPass = "http://127.0.0.1:8000";
|
||||
};
|
||||
};
|
||||
};
|
||||
};
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
The recommended stack (Svelte + Konva.js + FastAPI + PostgreSQL) provides the optimal balance of:
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ Performance (meets all 60fps / <200ms requirements)
|
||||
- ✅ Nix compatibility (all components in nixpkgs)
|
||||
- ✅ Developer experience (modern tooling, fast feedback)
|
||||
- ✅ Maintainability (clear architecture, good docs)
|
||||
- ✅ Scalability (can grow from MVP to production)
|
||||
- ✅ Leverages existing setup (Python in shell.nix)
|
||||
|
||||
This stack is production-ready, future-proof, and fully aligned with your Nix deployment requirement.
