# Aramesh Construction Group — Frontend

A modern React + Vite + TypeScript frontend application with a luxurious dark theme (Background: `#27221c`, Accent: `#d5874c`). All text content and assets are fetched dynamically from the backend API (`GET /api/site`).

## Typography
The **Pinar** font is installed and served locally. The application no longer relies on any external servers or CDNs for font rendering, and the UI is fully localized for Persian (Farsi) users.

## CMS, SEO & Editor Features

The project includes a robust, custom-built Digital Twin (Admin Panel) with advanced content management capabilities, emphasizing a premium UI/UX:

*   **Advanced SEO & Featured Media:** Dynamic `meta_description` fields (150-160 characters). The Featured Image component features a compact layout with smart data-binding: the `Alt` text auto-fills based on the title (e.g., `[Title] - تصویر شاخص`) as a smart fallback to ensure SEO compliance, while still allowing **full manual overrides** for precise custom keyword targeting.
*   **Precise Category Management:** A flawlessly integrated, single-select category dropdown using `react-select` (Creatable) and `react-hook-form`. It allows creating new categories on the fly while retaining them in the global list, seamlessly matching the strict single-category backend schema.
*   **Article Metadata & Reading Time:** A beautifully designed metadata component displaying the author's avatar, name, publication date, and an auto-calculated dynamic reading time (displayed dynamically with Persian numerals, e.g., "۵ دقیقه مطالعه") directly below the H1 title.
*   **Dynamic Table of Contents (TOC):** Auto-generates a clickable TOC from `h2` and `h3` tags within the article, using a custom Persian-supported `slugify` logic for anchor links.
*   **Custom Tiptap WYSIWYG Editor:** 
    *   **Fixed Toolbar & Typography:** Dedicated LTR/RTL toggles (`data-dir="ltr|rtl"`) with specific font scaling (RTL Base: 14px, LTR Base: 12px) mapped to a fixed toolbar that maintains layout stability.
    *   **Advanced Image & Caption Nodes:** Built via `ReactNodeViewRenderer`, rendering HTML wrapped in `<figure><figcaption>`. Features strictly isolated UI deletion controls (separate 'X' buttons to delete either the image entirely or just the caption text).
    *   **Animated Link Modal:** A premium, auto-opening modal with smooth fade/scale transition effects. Includes seamless checkbox toggles for "Open in new tab" (`target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"`) and SEO link attributes (`nofollow/dofollow`).
*   **Full Jalali (Shamsi) Calendar Integration:** 
    *   Admin panel utilizes `react-multi-date-picker` for a visual Persian date selection experience.
    *   Frontend and text displays rely on native `Intl.DateTimeFormat` to render dates and numerals perfectly in Persian.

## Development Setup

```bash
npm install
npm run dev

```

In development mode, Vite proxies `/api` and `/media` requests to Traefik (port 5173). Therefore, the Docker stack must be running.
The backend API URL is read from the `VITE_API_URL` environment variable in `src/config.ts`; an empty default implies same-origin requests.

## Build & Production

The build process runs on the host machine. The Docker container only serves the generated static files in the `dist/` directory using Caddy:

```bash
npm run build

```

> **Note:** The backend reads the `dist/` directory (mounted at `/srv/frontend` in Docker Compose) to inject SEO metadata into the `/blog` and `/projects` pages. After making any frontend changes, running `npm run build` and restarting the backend is sufficient.

## Key Modules & Architecture

* `src/api.tsx` — Handles site data loading and draft article merging for the admin view.
* `src/admin/` — Live editing layer (Digital Twin): includes the admin toolbar, entity drawers, and the article editor.
* `src/seo.ts` — Manages page-level SEO tags (Title, Description, Open Graph, Canonical, JSON-LD).
* `src/data/site.ts` — Shared TypeScript data models and interfaces.
