# 🥞 Les Crêpes de Maîtres

A beautiful demo showcasing **[json-render](https://github.com/vercel-labs/json-render)** with French chef crêpe recipes. Features recipes from legendary chefs like Auguste Escoffier, Olivier Roellinger, Pierre Hermé, and Joël Robuchon.

## 🎯 What is json-render?

**json-render** is a library from Vercel Labs that enables AI-generated UIs with guardrailed components. It provides:

- **Guardrailed** — AI can only use components in your catalog
- **Predictable** — JSON output matches your schema, every time
- **Fast** — Stream and render progressively as the model responds

This demo uses json-render's `Renderer` component with a type-safe catalog to render recipe specs as React components.

## ✨ How It Works

1. **Define Component Catalog** (`lib/catalog.ts`):
   ```typescript
   export const catalog = defineCatalog(schema, {
     components: {
       RecipeHeader: {
         props: z.object({
           title: z.string(),
           chef: z.string(),
           // ...
         }),
         description: "Header with recipe info"
       },
       // ...
     }
   });
   ```

2. **Map to React Components** (`lib/registry.tsx`):
   ```typescript
   export const { registry } = defineRegistry(catalog, {
     components: {
       RecipeHeader: ({ props }) => (
         <div>
           <h1>{props.title}</h1>
           {/* ... */}
         </div>
       ),
       // ...
     }
   });
   ```

3. **Create JSON Specs** (`lib/recipes.ts`):
   ```typescript
   const recipe = {
     root: "root",
     elements: {
       root: {
         type: "RecipeCard",
         props: { title: "Crêpes Suzette", /* ... */ },
         children: ["chef", "header", "ingredients", /* ... */]
       },
       chef: {
         type: "ChefInfo",
         props: { name: "Auguste Escoffier", /* ... */ }
       },
       // ...
     }
   };
   ```

4. **Render with json-render** (`app/page.tsx`):
   ```typescript
   <Provider>
     <Renderer spec={recipe} registry={registry} />
   </Provider>
   ```

**Result**: AI-generated JSON specs become beautiful, type-safe React UIs!

## 🚀 Quick Start (Local Development)

```bash
# Install dependencies
npm install

# Run development server
npm run dev

# Open http://localhost:3000
```

## 🐳 Docker Build

```bash
# Build the image
docker build -t crepes-demo:latest .

# Run locally
docker run -p 3000:3000 crepes-demo:latest
```

## ☸️ Kubernetes Deployment with Flux

### Prerequisites

- Kubernetes cluster with Flux installed
- Container registry (Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry, etc.)
- Domain configured with Cloudflare
- Ingress controller (nginx, traefik, etc.)
- cert-manager for TLS certificates
- external-dns for automatic DNS records (optional)

### Step 1: Build and Push Image

```bash
# Tag your image
docker tag crepes-demo:latest YOUR_REGISTRY/crepes-demo:latest

# Push to registry
docker push YOUR_REGISTRY/crepes-demo:latest
```

### Step 2: Update Configuration

**k8s/deployment.yaml:**
- Update `image:` with your registry URL

**k8s/ingress.yaml:**
- Update all instances of `crepes.yourdomain.com` with your actual domain
- Adjust `ingressClassName` if not using nginx
- Verify cert-manager issuer name

**flux/gitrepository.yaml:**
- Update Git repository URL with your fork

### Step 3: Use the Deploy Script

```bash
cd /home/openclaw/.openclaw/workspace/crepes-demo

# Set your configuration
export REGISTRY="ghcr.io/YOUR_USERNAME"
export DOMAIN="crepes.yourdomain.com"

# Run deployment script
./deploy.sh $REGISTRY $DOMAIN
```

### Step 4: Push to Git

```bash
# Initialize git repository
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit: json-render crêpes demo"

# Push to your GitHub repository
git remote add origin https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/crepes-demo.git
git push -u origin main
```

### Step 5: Deploy Flux Resources

```bash
# Apply Flux GitRepository and Kustomization
kubectl apply -f flux/gitrepository.yaml
kubectl apply -f flux/kustomization.yaml

# Watch deployment
kubectl get kustomizations -n flux-system -w
```

### Step 6: Verify Deployment

```bash
# Check pods
kubectl get pods -l app=crepes-demo

# Check service
kubectl get svc crepes-demo

# Check ingress
kubectl get ingress crepes-demo

# Check Flux sync status
flux get kustomizations
```

### Step 7: Configure Cloudflare

If using external-dns with Cloudflare:

1. DNS records should be created automatically
2. Verify in Cloudflare dashboard
3. Ensure SSL/TLS mode is "Full (strict)" or "Full"

If configuring manually:

1. Create an A or CNAME record pointing to your ingress IP/hostname
2. Enable Cloudflare proxy (orange cloud) for DDoS protection
3. Configure SSL/TLS settings

## 🔄 Continuous Deployment

Flux will automatically:
- Monitor your Git repository every 1 minute
- Apply changes to the cluster
- Check deployment health
- Rollback on failures

To update the app:

```bash
# Make changes
git add .
git commit -m "Update recipe"
git push

# Flux will sync automatically, or force sync:
flux reconcile kustomization crepes-demo
```

## 🎨 Customization

### Adding New Recipes

1. Define your recipe spec in `lib/recipes.ts`:
   ```typescript
   {
     root: "root",
     elements: {
       root: {
         type: "RecipeCard",
         props: { title: "My Recipe", /* ... */ },
         children: ["chef", "header", /* ... */]
       },
       // ... more elements
     }
   }
   ```

2. The spec will be automatically rendered using the existing component catalog!

### Adding New Components

1. Update component schema in `lib/catalog.ts`:
   ```typescript
   MyNewComponent: {
     props: z.object({
       myProp: z.string(),
     }),
     description: "My new component"
   }
   ```

2. Add React implementation in `lib/registry.tsx`:
   ```typescript
   MyNewComponent: ({ props }) => (
     <div>{props.myProp}</div>
   )
   ```

3. Use in recipe specs with `type: "MyNewComponent"`

### Styling

The app uses Tailwind CSS. Modify component styles in `lib/registry.tsx` or adjust the theme in `tailwind.config.ts`.

## 🎓 Learning json-render

This demo shows the core concepts:

1. **Catalog Definition**: Define allowed components with typed props (Zod schemas)
2. **Registry**: Map component names to React implementations
3. **Spec Format**: JSON tree structure with `root` + `elements`
4. **Renderer**: Takes spec + registry, outputs React components
5. **Provider**: Wraps Renderer with required contexts (Action, Data, Visibility)

**In production with AI**:
- User types: "Show me a recipe for chocolate chip cookies"
- AI generates a JSON spec using your catalog components
- json-render's `Renderer` turns it into React instantly
- **Safe**: AI can't inject arbitrary code, only use your components
