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

  1. 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
  2. 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
}
