hyperhive/frontend

hyperhive frontend

npm workspaces project for the hyperhive browser-facing assets:

• packages/shared/ — shared modules used by every surface (terminal pane, Catppuccin palette + body typography).
• packages/dashboard/ — the hive-c0re dashboard SPA.
• packages/agent/ — the per-container web UI (default agent page, stats, screen).
• packages/swarm-ui/ — the swarm-level operator UI shell (hives, agents, jobs, issue-report pages).

Build

npm install            # one-off; uses the checked-in package-lock.json
npm run build          # builds every workspace into packages/*/dist/

The Rust binaries serve packages/dashboard/dist/ and packages/agent/dist/ via tower_http::ServeDir at runtime; nix/packages/frontend.nix wires up the build derivation. The services.hyperhive.agent.frontend.extraFiles option in agent.nix layers per-agent additions on top of the default agent dist.

Why npm + esbuild

• Hermetic: dependencies vendored via the checked-in lockfile; buildNpmPackage in nix uses it as the source-of-truth so the output is reproducible without network access at build time.
• esbuild: agent and swarm-ui are Preact apps; dashboard is a vanilla-JS + custom-element MPA with a few Preact-rendered pages (builds.js, agents.js, imported by the dashboard entry); shared holds both kinds of module. No framework runtime beyond Preact where it's used. Each workspace's build.mjs is a short esbuild script.
• Single-PR migration: see the tracked design proposal and the four-commit shape (npm scaffold → nix derivations → container plumbing → Rust cutover).
