Exports Map Following the taskgraph pattern, each module has a sub-path export: | Sub-path | Content | Use case | |----------|---------|----------| | `@alkdev/flowgraph` | Barrel export (everything) | Full import | | `@alkdev/flowgraph/component` | ``, ``, ``, ``, `` | Template authoring | | `@alkdev/flowgraph/host` | `GraphologyHostConfig`, `ReactiveHostConfig` | ujsx HostConfig implementations | | `@alkdev/flowgraph/schema` | TypeBox schemas, enums, types | Schema-only import (no graph dependency) | | `@alkdev/flowgraph/graph` | `FlowGraph` class, construction, mutation, queries | Core graph operations | | `@alkdev/flowgraph/reactive` | `WorkflowReactiveRoot`, signal-based execution | Runtime execution | | `@alkdev/flowgraph/analysis` | `typeCompat`, `validateTemplate`, ordering functions | Analysis and validation | | `@alkdev/flowgraph/error` | Error classes | Error handling | ## Dependencies ### Production Dependencies ```json { "dependencies": { "@alkdev/typebox": "workspace:*", "@alkdev/ujsx": "workspace:*", "@preact/signals-core": "^1.x", "graphology": "^0.25", "graphology-dag": "^0.4" }, "peerDependencies": { "@alkdev/operations": "workspace:*" } } ``` | Package | Role | Why | |---------|------|-----| | `@alkdev/typebox` | Schema definitions, validation, `Value.Check`, `Value.Errors` | Direct dependency — all schemas are TypeBox | | `@alkdev/ujsx` | UNode, HostConfig, createRoot, h(), ReactiveRoot | Direct dependency — workflow templates are ujsx trees | | `@preact/signals-core` | `signal`, `computed`, `effect`, `batch` | Transitive via ujsx, re-exported for flowgraph's reactive layer | | `graphology` | `DirectedGraph` data structure | Core graph engine — same as taskgraph | | `graphology-dag` | `topologicalSort`, `hasCycle`, `parallelGroups` | DAG-specific algorithms | | `@alkdev/operations` | `OperationSpec`, `CallEventMap`, `CallStatus` | Peer dependency — type imports only, no runtime dependency | ### Why `@alkdev/operations` is a Peer Dependency Flowgraph imports `OperationSpec`, `CallEventMap`, and `CallStatus` types from `@alkdev/operations`, but does not depend on the runtime (registry, call handler, pending request map). Making it a peer dependency: 1. Avoids circular dependency concerns (operations doesn't depend on flowgraph) 2. Allows flowgraph to work with any version of operations that provides the right types 3. Reduces bundle size for consumers that don't use operations ### Why `@preact/signals-core` via `@alkdev/ujsx` Flowgraph's reactive layer uses `signal()`, `computed()`, and `effect()` from `@preact/signals-core`. These are re-exported from `@alkdev/ujsx/reactive` so consumers don't need to import directly from Preact. If ujsx ever changes its reactive primitive library, only ujsx's re-export needs updating. ## Build Configuration ### tsup.config.ts Following taskgraph's build pattern: ```typescript import { defineConfig } from "tsup"; export default defineConfig({ entry: { index: "src/index.ts", component: "src/component/index.ts", host: "src/host/index.ts", schema: "src/schema/index.ts", graph: "src/graph/index.ts", reactive: "src/reactive/index.ts", analysis: "src/analysis/index.ts", error: "src/error/index.ts", }, format: ["esm", "cjs"], dts: true, clean: true, splitting: true, sourcemap: true, }); ``` - **ESM + CJS dual output** — matches all sibling packages - **Code splitting** — enables tree-shaking for sub-path imports - **Source maps** — for debugging - **Type declarations** — `.d.ts` files for all exports ### tsconfig.json ```json { "compilerOptions": { "target": "ES2022", "module": "Node16", "moduleResolution": "Node16", "strict": true, "declaration": true, "declarationMap": true, "sourceMap": true, "outDir": "./dist", "rootDir": "./src", "types": ["vitest/globals"] }, "include": ["src/**/*.ts"], "exclude": ["node_modules", "dist", "test"] } ``` Matches the tsconfig pattern of all `@alkdev` packages: ES2022 target, Node16 module resolution, strict mode. ### vitest.config.ts ```typescript import { defineConfig } from "vitest/config"; export default defineConfig({ test: { globals: true, }, }); ``` ## Platform Targets Following taskgraph's philosophy: **pure JavaScript, no native addons**. | Platform | Support Level | Notes | |----------|---------------|-------| | Node.js | Primary | All dependencies are pure JS | | Deno | Compatible | ESM-first, no Node-specific APIs used | | Bun | Compatible | All dependencies are Bun-compatible | | Browser | Compatible | graphology and signals-core work in browsers | The library has no native dependencies, no filesystem access, and no Node-specific APIs (no `fs`, `path`, `child_process`, etc.). This makes it platform-agnostic. ## Tree-Shaking The sub-path export structure enables effective tree-shaking: - Consumers using only `@alkdev/flowgraph/schema` don't pull in the graph engine or ujsx - Consumers using only `@alkdev/flowgraph/analysis` don't pull in the reactive layer - Consumers using `@alkdev/flowgraph/component` get ujsx but not graphology (templates can be defined without importing the graph engine) The barrel export (`@alkdev/flowgraph`) re-exports everything for convenience, but consumers concerned about bundle size should use sub-path imports. ## Testing Strategy ### Unit Test Categories | Category | What to test | How | |----------|-------------|-----| | Schema validation | TypeBox schemas validate/correct shapes | `Value.Check()` / `Value.Errors()` | | Graph construction | `fromSpecs`, `fromCallEvents`, `fromJSON` | Build graphs, assert node/edge counts | | Graph mutations | `addNode`, `addEdge`, `updateStatus` | Assert success, assert throws on violations | | Graph queries | `topologicalOrder`, `ancestors`, `descendants` | Known graphs, expected results | | Type compatibility | `typeCompat` for known schema pairs | Compatible/incompatible/unknown | | Template validation | `validateTemplate` against known graphs | Known valid/invalid templates | | Error hierarchy | `CycleError`, `InvalidTransitionError`, etc. | Assert throw types, assert message format | | Reactive execution | Signal propagation, preconditions, abort cascade | Set up mini reactive graph, assert state transitions | ### Testing Reactive Graphs Testing signal-based state propagation requires specific patterns: 1. **Setup**: Create a `WorkflowReactiveRoot` with a known DAG. Assert initial state (all nodes `idle`). 2. **Transition**: Set a node's status signal to a known value. Assert that dependents' `preconditions` and `blockedByFailure` computeds update correctly. 3. **Assertion**: Check `node.status.value`, `node.preconditions.value`, `node.blockedByFailure.value` at each step. ```typescript // Example test pattern const root = new WorkflowReactiveRoot(dag); const nodeA = root.statusMap.get("A")!; const nodeB = root.statusMap.get("B")!; // Initially: both idle expect(nodeA.value).toBe("idle"); expect(nodeB.preconditions.value).toBe(false); // A not completed yet // Complete A → B's preconditions met nodeA.value = "completed"; expect(nodeB.preconditions.value).toBe(true); ``` 4. **Cleanup**: Call `root.dispose()` after each test to prevent signal leaks. ### Testing Template Rendering Template rendering tests follow the same pattern for both HostConfigs: 1. Define a template 2. Render to the target (graphology or reactive) 3. Assert the output (graph structure or signal state) ```typescript // GraphologyHostConfig test const host = new GraphologyHostConfig(); const root = createRoot(host, new DirectedGraph()); root.render(template); const graph = root.ctx.graph; expect(graph.nodes()).toEqual(["A", "B", "C"]); expect(graph.edges()).toEqual(["A->B", "B->C"]); // ReactiveHostConfig test const reactiveHost = new ReactiveHostConfig(registry, workflowRoot); const reactiveRoot = createRoot(reactiveHost, {}); reactiveRoot.render(template); expect(workflowRoot.statusMap.size).toBe(3); ``` ### Testing Error Paths All error paths should be tested: - Cycle detection: adding a cycle-creating edge throws `CycleError` - Duplicate node/edge: adding duplicates throws `ConstructionError` - Invalid status transition: `updateStatus(completed → running)` throws `InvalidTransitionError` - Validation errors: `validateGraph()` returns arrays, never throws ## Constraints - **No filesystem access** — flowgraph is a pure computation library. Persistence is the hub's concern. - **No network access** — no HTTP clients, WebSocket connections, or Redis clients. All data comes in through constructor arguments. - **`@alkdev/operations` is a peer dependency** — type imports only, no runtime dependency on the operations registry or call protocol. - **ESM-first** — the package is authored in ESM with CJS output generated by tsup. All internal imports use `.js` extensions for Node16 module resolution. - **Code splitting enabled** — tsup's `splitting: true` enables optimal code splitting for sub-path imports. - **Vitest for testing** — following the monorepo convention. ## References - Taskgraph build configuration: `@alkdev/taskgraph_ts/tsup.config.ts`, `@alkdev/taskgraph_ts/tsconfig.json` - ujsx build configuration: `@alkdev/ujsx/tsup.config.ts` - graphology: https://github.com/graphology/graphology - graphology-dag: https://github.com/graphology/graphology-dag
