## Running the UI
You can run the UI and access the dashboard in two ways:
- Build the UI pointing to an external Coder server: `CODER_HOST=https://mycoder.com pnpm dev` inside of the `site` folder. This is helpful when you are building something in the UI and already have the data on your deployed server.
- Build the entire Coder server + UI locally: `./scripts/develop.sh` in the root folder. It is useful when you have to contribute with features that are not deployed yet or when you have to work on both, frontend and backend.

## Routing
We use [react-router](https://reactrouter.com/en/main) as our routing engine and adding a new route is very easy. If the new route needs to be authenticated, put it under the `<RequireAuth>` route and if it needs to live inside of the dashboard, put it under the `<DashboardLayout>` route.

The `RequireAuth` component handles all the authentication logic for the routes and the `DashboardLayout` wraps the route adding a navbar and passing down common dashboard data.

## Pages
Pages are the top-level components of the app. The page component lives under the `src/pages` folder and each page should have its own folder so we can better group the views, tests, utility functions and so on. We use a structure where the page component is responsible for fetching all the data and passing it down to the view. We explain this decision a bit better in the next section.

### States
A page usually has at least three states: **loading**, **ready** or **success**, and **error** so remember to always handle these scenarios while you are coding a page. We also encourage you to add visual testing for these three states using the `*.stories.ts` file.

## Fetching data
We use [TanStack Query v4](https://tanstack.com/query/v4/docs/react/overview)(previously known as react-query) to fetch data from the API. We also use [XState](https://xstate.js.org/docs/) to handle complex flows with multiple states and transitions.

### Where to fetch data
Finding the right place to fetch data in React apps is the one million dollar question but we decided to make it only in the page components and pass the props down to the views. This makes it easier to find where data is being loaded and easy to test using Storybook. So you will see components like `UsersPage` and `UsersPageView`.

### API
We are using [axios](https://github.com/axios/axios) as our fetching library and writing the API functions in the `site/src/api/api.ts` files. We also have auto-generated types from our Go server on `site/src/api/typesGenerated.ts`. Usually, every endpoint has its own ` Request` and `Response` types but sometimes you need to pass extra parameters to make the call like the example below:

### Structure
Each component gets its own folder. Make sure you add a test and Storybook stories for the component as well. By keeping these tidy, the codebase will remain easy to navigate, healthy and maintainable for all contributors.

### Accessibility
We strive to keep our UI accessible. When using colors, avoid adding new elements with low color contrast. Always use labels on inputs, not just placeholders. These are important for screen-readers.

### Should I create a new component?
As with most things in the world, it depends. If you are creating a new component to encapsulate some UI abstraction like `UsersTable` it is ok but you should always try to use the base components that are provided by the library or from the codebase so I recommend you to always do a quick search before creating a custom primitive component like dialogs, popovers, buttons, etc.
