🔗 LCARS Digital Product Uploader - Dashboard Integration

Location​

The LCARS Digital Product Uploader is now integrated into the 6d-dashboard!

Where to find it:

  • Top navigation bar in the 6d-dashboard
  • Click the "📦 Digital Products" button (purple/secondary)
  • Switches to full-screen Digital Product Manager with LCARS styling

File Structure​

apps/6d-dashboard/src/
├── main.tsx                                 ← Entry point (now uses AppRouter)
├── app/
│   ├── router.tsx                          ← NEW: Main router (6D vs Digital Products)
│   └── routes/
│       ├── dashboard-6d/
│       │   └── index.tsx                   ← Updated: Now has navigation bar + onNavigate prop
│       └── digital-products/               ← NEW: Digital Product Manager page
│           └── index.tsx
├── components/lcars/
│   ├── LcarsDigitalProductUploader.tsx     ← Component (unchanged)

│   └── index.ts                            ← Exports (unchanged)

How It Works​

AppRouter (main view controller)
├─ State: currentView ('6d-dashboard' | 'digital-products')
├─ User clicks "📦 Digital Products" button
├─ AppRouter switches to DigitalProductManagerPage
├─ Page renders LcarsDigitalProductUploader component
├─ User uploads product
└─ User clicks "← Back to 6D Dashboard" to return

Components Hierarchy​

AppRouter (manager)
├─ SixDDashboard (with navigation bar)
│  ├─ Navigation bar: [6D Dashboard] [Digital Products]
│  ├─ LcarsFrame (layout)
│  ├─ HealthHeader
│  ├─ DisciplinePanel
│  └─ SixDScene (3D ring)
│
└─ DigitalProductManagerPage (when viewing products)
   ├─ LcarsFrame (layout)
   ├─ Header: "📦 DIGITAL PRODUCT MANAGER"
   ├─ LcarsDigitalProductUploader (full component)
   └─ Back button

Usage​

Developer: Adding to Routes​

The component is already integrated! No additional code needed.

To navigate from other components:

// In any component
import { useAppRouter } from '@/app/router'; // If you export a hook

// Or pass onNavigate prop through context
<Button onClick={() => onNavigate('digital-products')}>
  Upload Product
</Button>

User: Accessing the Feature​

  1. From 6D Dashboard: Click the purple "📦 Digital Products" button in the top navigation
  2. Upload Product: Drag-drop file or click browse
  3. Configure: Fill in product details
  4. Create: Click "Create & Upload"
  5. View Status: Watch progress bar through 4 phases
  6. Confirm: Success state shows activation checklist
  7. Return: Click "← Back to 6D Dashboard" to go back

Design​

Located at the top of the app:

  • Primary Button (cyan): "🎯 6D Dashboard" - takes you back
  • Secondary Button (purple): "📦 Digital Products" - switches to uploader

The buttons are LCARS-styled with:

  • Soft-rounded corners
  • Glow effects on hover (purple button only, secondary action)
  • Uppercase labels (when applicable)
  • Aurora color palette

Full-Screen View​

When on the Digital Products page:

  • Header: "📦 DIGITAL PRODUCT MANAGER" with description
  • Main Content: LcarsDigitalProductUploader component takes full space
  • Footer Status: Real-time status info (Ready for uploads, Max file size, Virus scanning)
  • Back Button: Purple secondary button at bottom to return to dashboard

Styling Notes​

Both pages use the same:

  • ✅ LcarsFrame layout component
  • ✅ Aurora color token system
  • ✅ LCARS aesthetic (rounded, glowing, Star Trek feel)
  • ✅ Consistent spacing and typography
  • ✅ Responsive design

API Integration​

The uploader is ready to connect to backend:

Currently: Simulates upload phases over 8 seconds

To connect real API:

  1. Edit LcarsDigitalProductUploader.tsx
  2. Find the handleUpload function
  3. Replace the simulated phases with real API calls to:
    • POST /v1/FileUpload (upload file)
    • POST /v1/Product (create product)
    • POST /v1/Product/{id}/createDigitalAsset (link asset)
    • POST /v1/ProductDeliveryConfig (setup automation)

See LCARS_UPLOADER_GUIDE.md → "Backend Integration" for full details.

Testing the Integration​

Test Navigation​

# In dev mode
cd apps/6d-dashboard
npm run dev

# Check:
1. App loads with 6D Dashboard visible
2. Top navigation shows both buttons
3. Clicking "📦 Digital Products" switches view
4. Uploader component displays fully
5. Clicking "← Back to 6D Dashboard" returns

Test Functionality​

# Upload a test file
1. Drag a PDF onto the upload zone
2. Edit configuration (price, name, etc.)
3. Click "Create & Upload"
4. Watch progress bar animate through 4 phases
5. Confirm success state
6. Click "Start Over" to upload another
7. Navigate back to dashboard

Performance​

  • ✅ Fast switching between views (state-based, no page reload)
  • ✅ Component lazy-loads within LcarsFrame
  • ✅ CSS animations (GPU-accelerated)
  • ✅ No external dependencies beyond React
  • ✅ ~12 KB component + styles

Accessibility​

Both views maintain WCAG AA compliance:

  • ✅ Keyboard navigable buttons
  • ✅ Focus states with visual indicators
  • ✅ High contrast text
  • ✅ Semantic HTML structure
  • ✅ ARIA labels on interactive elements
