SWARM Dashboard - Quick Reference Card

🎯 Status: ✅ READY FOR INTEGRATION​

All 3 components compile cleanly. Zero TypeScript errors. Full type safety.

📋 Components At a Glance​

SwarmDashboard.tsx (Container)​

// Parent container component
// Manages state: selectedAgent
// Composition: 65% visualizer + 35% control panel
import SwarmDashboard from "./dashboard/SwarmDashboard";

<SwarmDashboard />;
  • Type Exports: Agent, SwarmVisualizerHandle
  • Props: None
  • Features: Split-pane layout, ref forwarding

SwarmVisualizer3D.tsx (3D Visualization)​

// Three.js 3D orbit visualization
// Renders agent nodes in 3D space around mothership
// Accepts ref for imperative glow trigger
const ref = useRef<SwarmVisualizerHandle>(null);

<SwarmVisualizer3D
  ref={ref}
  onAgentSelected={handleSelection}
  onCommandExecute={handleCommand}
/>;

// Trigger glow from parent
ref.current?._triggerGlow("agent-123");
  • Props: onAgentSelected, onCommandExecute
  • Imperative Handle: _triggerGlow(agentId: string)
  • Features: forwardRef, useImperativeHandle, Three.js scene

SwarmControlPanel.tsx (Control Center)​

// LCARS-styled command center
// Agent roster, command executor, history tracker
import { Agent, SwarmVisualizerHandle } from "./SwarmDashboard";

<SwarmControlPanel
  selectedAgent={selectedAgent}
  onCommandExecute={handleCommand}
  visualizerRef={visualizerRef}
/>;
  • Props: selectedAgent, onCommandExecute, visualizerRef
  • Features: Agent roster, command history, preset commands

🔧 Key Types​

// From SwarmDashboard.tsx - Import these!
export interface Agent {
  id: string;
  userId?: string;
  version?: string;
  lastSeen?: string;
  status?: "active" | "inactive" | "error";
  [key: string]: any;
}

export interface SwarmVisualizerHandle {
  _triggerGlow: (agentId: string) => void;
}

🚀 Integration Steps (3 Easy Steps)​

Step 1: Import into your Dashboard​

import SwarmDashboard from "./dashboard/SwarmDashboard";

Step 2: Add to your Routes​

<Route path="/dashboard/swarm" element={<SwarmDashboard />} />

Step 3: Ensure WebSocketContext is Available​

<WebSocketProvider>
  <YourDashboard />
</WebSocketProvider>

Done! 🎉

🎨 LCARS Theme Colors​

Primary: #00ff00 (Neon Green)
Secondary: #0099ff (Cyan)
Background: #0a0e27 (Dark Blue)
Font: Monospace (courier, lucida console)
Glow: text-shadow, box-shadow effects

📡 WebSocket Message Format​

Agent Registration​

{
  "type": "SERVICE",
  "action": "register",
  "instanceId": "agent-id",
  "userId": "user@example.com"
}

Agent List Update (subscribed to /topic/agents)​

{
  "agents": [
    { "id": "agent-1", "userId": "user@example.com", "status": "active" }
  ]
}

Command Execution​

{
  "sourceInstanceId": "dashboard",
  "targetInstanceId": "agent-1",
  "command": "ping"
}

💡 Pro Tips​

  1. Ref Management: Always check ref exists before calling

    visualizerRef.current?._triggerGlow(agentId);

  2. WebSocket Events: Listen to custom events

    window.addEventListener("websocket-message", handleMessage);

  3. Performance: For 50+ agents, implement culling

    // Only render agents within camera frustum

  4. Error Handling: Wrap in try-catch

    try {
      visualizerRef.current?._triggerGlow(agentId);
    } catch (e) {
      console.error("Glow trigger failed", e);
    }

🐛 Troubleshooting Quick Guide​

IssueSolution
Agent list emptyCheck WebSocket connection, verify /topic/agents subscribe
Glow not showingVerify visualizerRef is passed and not null
Canvas blankCheck WebGL support, console for Three.js errors
High CPU usageReduce agent count, implement LOD system
Type errorsEnsure Agent/SwarmVisualizerHandle imported from SwarmDashboard
