Release list
v1.0.1
1.0.0
ServiceExample_PageContext Plugin v1.0.0
🎯 Overview
The ServiceExample_PageContext plugin is a comprehensive educational example that demonstrates how to use BrainDrive's PageContext Service for real-time page information monitoring and context change tracking. This plugin serves as a practical reference for developers learning to build BrainDrive plugins with page context awareness.
✨ Features
📄 Interactive Page Context Monitoring
- PageContext Display Module: View current page information with manual refresh capability
- PageContext Listener Module: Monitor page context changes with comprehensive change history
- Real-time Updates: Automatic updates when navigating between BrainDrive pages
📚 Educational Components
- Comprehensive Documentation: 700+ line developer guide with real-world examples
- Educational Logging: Detailed console output explaining each step of the page context flow
- Error Handling Patterns: Robust error handling with user-friendly feedback
- Type Safety: Full TypeScript implementation with proper interfaces
🛠 Technical Excellence
- Module Federation: Optimized webpack configuration for efficient loading
- Class-Based Components: React components designed for Module Federation compatibility
- Service Bridge Pattern: Proper abstraction over BrainDrive's PageContext Service
- Production Ready: Minified bundles and optimized performance
🏗 Architecture
Two Interactive Modules
-
PageContext Display (
PageContextDisplay)- Display current page context information (pageId, pageName, pageRoute)
- Manual refresh functionality for testing context retrieval
- Connection status monitoring with visual indicators
- Real-time status feedback with emoji indicators
-
PageContext Listener (
PageContextListener)- Automatic page context change detection and logging
- Change history tracking with timestamps and change types
- Change categorization (Initial Load, Page Change, Route Change, Name Change)
- Clean, scrollable change history with clear functionality
PageContext Service Wrapper
The plugin includes a sophisticated PageContext Service wrapper (pageContextService.ts) that provides:
- Type-safe page context handling with proper TypeScript interfaces
- Automatic context validation for data integrity
- Error handling and validation with custom error types
- Educational logging for debugging and learning
- Change detection algorithms for categorizing context changes

📊 Page Context Data Structure
Standard Page Context Format
interface PageContextData {
pageId: string; // Unique identifier for the current page
pageName: string; // Human-readable name of the page
pageRoute: string; // URL route/path of the current page
}Page Context Change Record
interface PageContextChange {
timestamp: string; // ISO timestamp when change occurred
previousContext: any | null; // Previous page context (null for initial load)
newContext: any; // New page context data
changeType: string; // Type of change detected
