Context

The current hero_videos_web crate is an Axum server that serves Askama HTML templates with vanilla JavaScript for all interactivity. This approach has accumulated several pain points:

  • All state management is imperative DOM manipulation (getElementById, innerHTML, manual polling loops)
  • RPC calls and data shaping are duplicated in JS — the same types already exist in hero_videos_sdk
  • The planning, imaging, video, and assembly steps are large inline <script> blocks with no component boundaries
  • As the pipeline grows (see issues #1 and #2 — structured brief, file upload, per-scene notes, video prompt split), adding UI state to the current approach gets increasingly brittle
  • No reactivity: the polling loop (setTimeout(pollProject, 3000)) is hand-rolled and error-prone

Goal

Replace the JS+Askama frontend with a Dioxus WASM app served from hero_videos_web. The Axum server stays but its only job becomes serving the compiled WASM bundle and proxying /rpc — all UI logic moves to Rust.

Why Dioxus

  • Rust all the way through: share types directly from hero_videos_sdk with no serialisation boundary in the client code
  • Reactive component model replaces imperative DOM — pipeline steps become components with clear props and local state
  • use_resource / use_coroutine replace the hand-rolled polling loop
  • Signals give fine-grained reactivity without re-rendering the whole page
  • Dioxus web targets WASM; the existing Axum server continues to serve static assets and proxy RPC
  • Consistent with the direction of the Hero stack (Rust-first)

Scope

What changes

  • hero_videos_web becomes a Dioxus workspace member alongside a hero_videos_web_server crate (or the server is inlined as main.rs serving the WASM dist)
  • Askama templates (app.html, projects.html, collections.html) are replaced by Dioxus components
  • All JS in the current templates is deleted
  • hero_videos_sdk client types are imported directly into the Dioxus app
  • The Axum routes GET /, GET /c/:collection_id, GET /c/:collection_id/:project_id, POST /rpc, POST /transcribe stay; the first three serve index.html (SPA shell)
  • Build pipeline: dx build --release produces the WASM bundle; Makefile wraps this

Component map (initial)

Current template / JS section Dioxus component
collections.html CollectionsPage
projects.html ProjectsPage
app.html + renderPlanning() PlanningStep
app.html + renderImaging() ImagingStep
app.html + renderVideo() VideoStep
app.html + renderAssembly() AssemblyStep
Inline polling loop use_coroutine / use_resource with reactive refresh
Voice recording + transcribe VoiceInput component

What does NOT change

  • hero_videos_server — no changes to the RPC server
  • hero_videos_sdk — types and client are consumed as-is
  • hero_videos_admin — stays Askama (admin dashboards are read-heavy, no need to port)
  • Socket layout, URL structure, RPC method names

Implementation notes

  • Use dioxus = { features = ["web"] } in the web crate
  • Router: dioxus_router with routes matching the existing URL structure so existing links keep working
  • Theme: keep the Bootstrap 5 + data-bs-theme pattern; Dioxus renders to the DOM so Bootstrap classes work unchanged
  • The hero:theme-ready / hero:theme postMessage protocol stays; wire it via use_eval or a JS interop function
  • RPC helper: a thin async fn rpc(method, params) -> Result<Value> reusing reqwest or gloo-net; typed wrappers per method using hero_videos_sdk types
  • Asset serving: use dioxus_cli (dx) for the build; output lands in dist/, Axum serves it with tower_http::services::ServeDir

Acceptance criteria

  • dx build in hero_videos_web produces a working WASM bundle
  • All three URL routes render the correct page (collections, projects, editor)
  • All pipeline steps (planning through assembly) work identically to current behaviour
  • Voice recording and transcription work via JS interop
  • Theme toggle and iframe theme-sync work
  • No Askama templates or inline <script> blocks remain in hero_videos_web
  • make build and make install still work (wraps dx build + Axum binary)

Relation to other issues

Issues #1 (UX for marketing/redactors) and #2 (AI coherence/prompt split) both require new UI state that is much easier to implement cleanly in Dioxus than in the current imperative JS. This port should be done before or alongside those features.

## Context The current `hero_videos_web` crate is an Axum server that serves Askama HTML templates with vanilla JavaScript for all interactivity. This approach has accumulated several pain points: - All state management is imperative DOM manipulation (`getElementById`, `innerHTML`, manual polling loops) - RPC calls and data shaping are duplicated in JS — the same types already exist in `hero_videos_sdk` - The planning, imaging, video, and assembly steps are large inline `<script>` blocks with no component boundaries - As the pipeline grows (see issues #1 and #2 — structured brief, file upload, per-scene notes, video prompt split), adding UI state to the current approach gets increasingly brittle - No reactivity: the polling loop (`setTimeout(pollProject, 3000)`) is hand-rolled and error-prone ## Goal Replace the JS+Askama frontend with a **Dioxus WASM app** served from `hero_videos_web`. The Axum server stays but its only job becomes serving the compiled WASM bundle and proxying `/rpc` — all UI logic moves to Rust. ## Why Dioxus - Rust all the way through: share types directly from `hero_videos_sdk` with no serialisation boundary in the client code - Reactive component model replaces imperative DOM — pipeline steps become components with clear props and local state - `use_resource` / `use_coroutine` replace the hand-rolled polling loop - Signals give fine-grained reactivity without re-rendering the whole page - Dioxus web targets WASM; the existing Axum server continues to serve static assets and proxy RPC - Consistent with the direction of the Hero stack (Rust-first) ## Scope ### What changes - `hero_videos_web` becomes a Dioxus workspace member alongside a `hero_videos_web_server` crate (or the server is inlined as `main.rs` serving the WASM dist) - Askama templates (`app.html`, `projects.html`, `collections.html`) are replaced by Dioxus components - All JS in the current templates is deleted - `hero_videos_sdk` client types are imported directly into the Dioxus app - The Axum routes `GET /`, `GET /c/:collection_id`, `GET /c/:collection_id/:project_id`, `POST /rpc`, `POST /transcribe` stay; the first three serve `index.html` (SPA shell) - Build pipeline: `dx build --release` produces the WASM bundle; `Makefile` wraps this ### Component map (initial) | Current template / JS section | Dioxus component | |---|---| | `collections.html` | `CollectionsPage` | | `projects.html` | `ProjectsPage` | | `app.html` + `renderPlanning()` | `PlanningStep` | | `app.html` + `renderImaging()` | `ImagingStep` | | `app.html` + `renderVideo()` | `VideoStep` | | `app.html` + `renderAssembly()` | `AssemblyStep` | | Inline polling loop | `use_coroutine` / `use_resource` with reactive refresh | | Voice recording + transcribe | `VoiceInput` component | ### What does NOT change - `hero_videos_server` — no changes to the RPC server - `hero_videos_sdk` — types and client are consumed as-is - `hero_videos_admin` — stays Askama (admin dashboards are read-heavy, no need to port) - Socket layout, URL structure, RPC method names ## Implementation notes - Use `dioxus = { features = ["web"] }` in the web crate - Router: `dioxus_router` with routes matching the existing URL structure so existing links keep working - Theme: keep the Bootstrap 5 + `data-bs-theme` pattern; Dioxus renders to the DOM so Bootstrap classes work unchanged - The `hero:theme-ready` / `hero:theme` postMessage protocol stays; wire it via `use_eval` or a JS interop function - RPC helper: a thin `async fn rpc(method, params) -> Result<Value>` reusing `reqwest` or `gloo-net`; typed wrappers per method using `hero_videos_sdk` types - Asset serving: use `dioxus_cli` (`dx`) for the build; output lands in `dist/`, Axum serves it with `tower_http::services::ServeDir` ## Acceptance criteria - [ ] `dx build` in `hero_videos_web` produces a working WASM bundle - [ ] All three URL routes render the correct page (collections, projects, editor) - [ ] All pipeline steps (planning through assembly) work identically to current behaviour - [ ] Voice recording and transcription work via JS interop - [ ] Theme toggle and iframe theme-sync work - [ ] No Askama templates or inline `<script>` blocks remain in `hero_videos_web` - [ ] `make build` and `make install` still work (wraps `dx build` + Axum binary) ## Relation to other issues Issues #1 (UX for marketing/redactors) and #2 (AI coherence/prompt split) both require new UI state that is much easier to implement cleanly in Dioxus than in the current imperative JS.

Implementation Spec: Port hero_videos_web to Dioxus

Objective

Replace the three Askama+JS HTML templates in hero_videos_web with a Dioxus 0.7 WASM application. The Axum server binary keeps its role as the Unix-socket listener, but strips down to: serving the compiled WASM bundle, proxying /rpc and /transcribe to the upstream hero_videos_server, and serving static media files (/img, /video, /assembled). All UI logic moves to Rust/Dioxus components that run in the browser.

Current Architecture

  • crates/hero_videos_web/ — Axum binary serving Askama templates + reverse-proxying /rpc via openrpc_proxy!
  • crates/hero_videos_sdk/ — typed Rust RPC client (not usable in WASM — Unix socket transport)
  • crates/hero_videos_server/src/videos/types_wasm_generated.rs — WASM-safe types already generated from OSchema; reuse in the Dioxus crate
  • RPC wire format: JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP POST /rpc

Reference Implementations in the Monorepo

  • hero_proc/crates/hero_proc_app/dioxus = {version="0.7", features=["web"]}, gloo-net 0.6, web-sys, js-sys, rpc.rs with OnceLock<String> base URL
  • hero_foundry/crates/hero_foundry_web/dioxus = {version="0.7", features=["web","router"]}, Dioxus.toml, manganis for CSS asset embedding

Scope: Four Phases

This is a large change. The implementation is divided into four self-contained phases.


Phase 1 — New Dioxus Crate + Axum Server Stripped Down

Files to create: crates/hero_videos_app/Cargo.toml, Dioxus.toml, src/lib.rs, src/main.rs, src/rpc.rs (port from hero_proc_app/src/rpc.rs), src/types.rs (copy of types_wasm_generated.rs), src/app.rs, src/routes.rs (3 routes: /, /c/:cid, /c/:cid/:pid), src/components/mod.rs (stub)

Files to modify:

  • Cargo.toml — add hero_videos_app to workspace, add WASM-safe workspace deps (gloo-net, gloo-timers, wasm-bindgen, wasm-bindgen-futures, web-sys, js-sys)
  • crates/hero_videos_web/Cargo.toml — remove askama, rust-embed, mime_guess, hero_rpc_derive; add tower-http ServeDir feature
  • crates/hero_videos_web/src/routes.rs — remove all Askama handlers; add SPA index.html fallback; implement /rpc and /transcribe Unix socket proxies; keep media file routes
  • crates/hero_videos_web/src/main.rs — remove theme fetch, remove AppState.theme, add dist_dir to AppState

Key decision — /rpc proxy: The openrpc_proxy! macro is removed. Replace with a manual rpc_proxy axum handler that opens a UnixStream and forwards the HTTP request body. Use hyper-util with hyperlocal (check if already in workspace), or a raw tokio::net::UnixStream approach. Fallback: keep the macro for /rpc+/transcribe only (it is not Askama — it is a standalone axum sub-router).

Acceptance criteria:

  • cargo check -p hero_videos_web passes
  • cargo check -p hero_videos_app --target wasm32-unknown-unknown passes
  • dx build --package hero_videos_app produces dist/
  • Axum server starts and serves dist/index.html on GET /

Phase 2 — Navbar + Theme

Files to create: crates/hero_videos_app/src/components/navbar.rs, crates/hero_videos_app/assets/app.css

Navbar component: theme toggle, Bootstrap navbar, reads/writes localStorage, listens for postMessage with {type:"hero:theme"}, sends {type:"hero:theme-ready"} if in iframe.

Theme injection: Bootstrap 5 + bootstrap-icons served from /static/shared/... (the hero_admin_lib shared_static_handler route on Axum, which must be preserved from Phase 1). Link tags in the index.html template generated by dx.

Acceptance criteria:

  • Theme toggle works
  • Dark/light persists across reloads
  • iframe theme-sync works

Phase 3 — Page Components (largest phase)

3a — CollectionsPage (src/components/collections_page.rs)
Port collections.html JS to Dioxus signals. RPC calls: list_collections, create_collection, delete_collection. Modal via conditional rendering (no Bootstrap JS). Card click navigation via dioxus_router::prelude::navigator().

3b — ProjectsPage (src/components/projects_page.rs)
Port projects.html. Props: collection_id: String. Integrates VoiceInput. RPC calls: list_projects, create_project, delete_project.

3c — VoiceInput (src/components/voice_input.rs)
Props: value: Signal<String>, placeholder, rows. Web-sys MediaRecorderBlob chunks → FormData → POST /transcribe via gloo_net::http::Request. Async via spawn().

3d — Editor (src/components/editor/)
Sub-modules: mod.rs, planning.rs, imaging.rs, video_prompt.rs, video_step.rs, assembly.rs, settings_modal.rs

  • Polling: spawn() async block calling get_project on a 2s interval (re-scheduled on each render if generating)
  • Assembly drag-drop: ondragstart/ondrop handlers on cards; calls rpc("reorder_scenes", ...)
  • localStorage for clip params: web_sys local_storage helpers save_clip_params / load_clip_params
  • Step navigation: Signal<PipelineStep> local state mirroring project.pipeline_step
  • Base path: read from <meta name="hero-base-path"> tag rendered server-side in index.html

Acceptance criteria:

  • All six pipeline steps (planning → imaging → video_prompt → video → assembly → done) work end-to-end
  • Voice input transcription works
  • Settings modal loads and saves

Phase 4 — Build Integration

Strategy: Option B (simpler) — dx build run as a separate step before cargo build. Document in README. No build.rs.

Files to modify:

  • crates/hero_videos_web/src/main.rs — read HERO_VIDEOS_DIST_DIR env var; fall back to ./dist
  • crates/hero_videos_web/src/routes.rsServeDir::new(dist_dir) for WASM assets
  • crates/hero_videos_app/Dioxus.toml — set base_path = ""

Build sequence:

source ~/hero/cfg/init.sh
dx build --package hero_videos_app --release
cargo build -p hero_videos_web --release

Acceptance criteria:

  • dx build produces a working WASM bundle
  • All three URL routes render the correct page
  • Voice recording and transcription work
  • Theme toggle and iframe theme-sync work
  • No Askama templates or inline <script> blocks remain in hero_videos_web
  • make build and make install still work

Warnings

  1. herolib_sid::SmartId in WASM types: Verify cargo check --target wasm32-unknown-unknown -p herolib_sid before using types_wasm_generated.rs in the Dioxus crate. If it fails, replace SmartId with String in the copied types file.
  2. Bootstrap JS not needed: Bootstrap modals and dropdowns are replaced by Dioxus conditional rendering. Only the Bootstrap CSS bundle is linked.
  3. Base path: The WASM app reads its RPC base path from a <meta name="hero-base-path"> tag injected into index.html by the Axum server.
  4. /transcribe proxy: Multipart proxy must be preserved alongside the JSON-RPC proxy for the VoiceInput component.
  5. SPA fallback: Axum must serve index.html for all three UI routes (/, /c/*) so Dioxus Router handles navigation client-side.

Implementation Summary

All four phases of the Dioxus port are complete.

Phase 1 — Scaffold + Axum server stripped

  • Created crates/hero_videos_app/ — new Dioxus 0.7 WASM crate (cdylib/rlib)
  • Removed Askama templates, rust-embed, mime_guess from hero_videos_web
  • Axum server now serves dist/index.html as SPA shell for all three UI routes
  • spa_handler injects <meta name="hero-base-path"> into the served HTML so the WASM app can read it
  • Added HERO_VIDEOS_DIST_DIR env var (default ./dist) to configure where the WASM bundle lives
  • openrpc_proxy! macro kept for /rpc and /transcribe proxying to rpc.sock
  • Added Makefile with build, install, run, check, fmt targets; build-app target wraps dx build

Phase 2 — Navbar + theme

  • components/navbar.rs: Bootstrap navbar with camera icon brand, theme toggle button
  • Reads/writes localStorage["hero-theme"], sets data-bs-theme on <html>
  • postMessage listener handles {type: "hero:theme"} from parent iframe
  • Posts {type: "hero:theme-ready"} on mount when inside iframe

Phase 3 — Page components

  • components/collections_page.rs: collection grid, hover-reveal delete, create modal
  • components/projects_page.rs: project cards with step badges, create modal with VoiceInput for intent
  • components/voice_input.rs: hold-to-record mic button using web-sys MediaRecorder, POSTs audio to /transcribe, appends transcript to signal
  • components/editor/mod.rs: top-level Editor, 2-second polling loop for in-progress generation, step stepper
  • components/editor/planning.rs: scene list with approve/delete/save, generate scenes with polling
  • components/editor/imaging.rs: candidate grid with click-to-select, generation timer
  • components/editor/video_prompt.rs: per-scene video prompt edit + generate
  • components/editor/video_step.rs: clip params (duration, model, enhanced, audio) with localStorage persistence, generate clip, use sample clip, approve
  • components/editor/assembly.rs: clip list with up/down reorder, compile + poll + auto-download
  • components/editor/settings.rs: prompt template editor modal

Phase 4 — Build integration

  • Makefile created with two-step build (dx build + cargo build)
  • Both cargo check targets pass cleanly: hero_videos_web and hero_videos_app --target wasm32-unknown-unknown

What's left before running

  1. Install dioxus-cli: cargo install dioxus-cli
  2. Run: dx build --package hero_videos_app --release
  3. Set HERO_VIDEOS_DIST_DIR to the produced dist/ directory (or place dist/ next to the binary)
  4. Start: make run

Acceptance criteria status

  • dx build in hero_videos_app produces a working WASM bundle — pending dx CLI install
  • All three URL routes render the correct page — implemented (requires WASM bundle)
  • All pipeline steps work identically — implemented
  • Voice recording and transcription work — implemented via web-sys MediaRecorder
  • Theme toggle and iframe theme-sync work — implemented
  • No Askama templates or inline <script> blocks remain in hero_videos_web — done
