prototype: implement JavaScript client for Mesh v2 (Phase 1)

[takaokouji]

Overview

Implements Phase 1 of the JavaScript client prototype for Mesh v2 integration (#6). This provides a reference implementation using vanilla JavaScript (no TypeScript, no build tools) to match Smalruby's technology stack.

Related Issues:

• Closes prototype: Create JavaScript client example for Mesh v2 integration #6 (Phase 1 tasks)
• Related to Phase 3: Mesh v2拡張機能ブロックの実装 smalruby3-gui#453 (Phase 3: Frontend Extension)
• Part of EPIC: Mesh v2 拡張機能の実装 smalruby3-gui#444 (EPIC: Mesh v2 Extension)

What's Implemented

Phase 1: Basic Setup ✅

1. Directory Structure

examples/javascript-client/
├── index.html          # Complete UI with all panels
├── mesh-client.js      # GraphQL client library
├── app.js              # Application logic & state
├── server.js           # Express static file server
├── package.json        # Node.js dependencies
└── README.md           # Comprehensive docs

2. GraphQL Client (mesh-client.js)

Vanilla JavaScript client using native fetch API:

Implemented Mutations:

• ✅ createGroup(name, hostId, domain)
• ✅ dissolveGroup(groupId, hostId, domain) - Host only
• ✅ reportDataByNode(nodeId, groupId, domain, data)
• ✅ fireEventByNode(nodeId, groupId, domain, eventName, payload)

Implemented Queries:

• ✅ listGroupsByDomain(domain)

Mock Implementations:

• ⏳ joinGroup(groupId, nodeId, nodeName, domain) - Returns mock data until backend ready

Subscription Placeholders:

• ⏳ subscribeToDataUpdates() - Polling placeholder for Phase 2
• ⏳ subscribeToEvents() - Polling placeholder for Phase 2
• ⏳ subscribeToGroupDissolve() - Polling placeholder for Phase 2

3. UI Features

Configuration Panel:

• AppSync endpoint input
• API key input
• Domain input (optional, max 256 chars)
• LocalStorage persistence
• URL parameter support (?mesh=domain)

Group Management:

• Create group (auto-becomes host)
• List groups by domain
• Join group (UI ready, backend pending)
• Dissolve group (host only) - Updated from leaveGroup
• Host/Member role indicator

Sensor Data:

• 3 sample sensors (temperature, brightness, distance)
• Range sliders with live value display
• Change detection (only send when values change)
• Rate limiting: 4 sends/second (250ms intervals)
• Rate status display

Event System:

• Event name input
• Payload input (JSON or text)
• Send button with rate limiting (2/sec, 500ms intervals)
• Event history (last 20 events)
• Clear history button

Session Management:

• 90-minute countdown timer
• Warning at 5 minutes remaining
• Auto-dissolve group on timeout (if host)
• Connection status indicators

4. Helper Utilities

RateLimiter:

const limiter = new RateLimiter(4, 1000); // 4 calls per second
if (limiter.canMakeCall()) {
  // Make API call
}

ChangeDetector:

const detector = new ChangeDetector();
if (detector.hasChanged('temperature', 25)) {
  // Value changed, transmit
}

Key Changes from Issue #6

dissolveGroup Implementation

Updated behavior based on backend design:

• ❌ Removed leaveGroup mutation
• ✅ Only hosts can dissolve groups
• ✅ Dissolving removes all members
• ✅ Button only enabled when user is host
• ✅ Confirmation dialog before dissolution
• ✅ Auto-refreshes group list after dissolution

UI Updates:

• Button labeled "Dissolve Group (Host Only)"
• Disabled for non-hosts
• Shows confirmation dialog with warning

Testing

Local Testing

cd examples/javascript-client
npm install
npm start
# Open http://localhost:3000

With Staging API

1. Get credentials:

   aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name MeshV2Stack-stg

2. Configure in UI:

   • AppSync Endpoint: https://...appsync-api....com/graphql
   • API Key: da2-...

3. Test scenarios:

   • ✅ Create group with custom domain
   • ✅ Create group with auto-detect domain
   • ✅ List groups in domain
   • ✅ Send sensor data (rate limited)
   • ✅ Send events (rate limited)
   • ✅ Dissolve group as host
   • ✅ 90-minute session timer

Lint & Build

# Ruby linting (from root)
bundle exec standardrb  # ✅ Pass

# TypeScript build
