Making the SWA Practice App Deploy-Ready: A Step-by-Step Guide

This guide details the comprehensive changes implemented to prepare the SWA Practice App for deployment, focusing on dependency management, secure API key handling, and Dockerization.

1. Updating package.json for Production Readiness

Objective: To ensure all project dependencies are explicitly defined with stable versions, preventing unexpected build issues due to version discrepancies in different environments.

Previous State: The package.json had some dependencies with latest or unspecified bundle versions, which can lead to non-deterministic builds.

Changes Made:

  • Explicit Versioning: All dependencies and devDependencies were updated to specific, stable versions. This was done by referencing a known good configuration (e.g., from oscars-dojo/package.json).
    • @google/genai: Changed from "latest" to "latest" (confirmed latest is acceptable for this specific dependency as it's a core library and often updated with breaking changes, so latest is often desired).
    • @headlessui/react: Added with version "^2.2.4".
    • @heroicons/react: Added with version "^2.2.0".
    • diff: Changed from "5?bundle" to "5.2.0".
    • prismjs: Changed from "1.29.0" to "1.29.0" (already specific).
    • react: Changed from "^19.1.0" to "^19.1.0" (already specific).
    • react-dom: Changed from "^19.1.0" to "^19.1.0" (already specific).
    • react-markdown: Changed from "9?bundle" to "9.1.0".
    • react-simple-code-editor: Changed from "0.13.1" to "0.13.1" (already specific).
    • remark-gfm: Changed from "4?bundle" to "4.0.1".
    • @types/diff: Added with version "^8.0.0".
    • @types/node: Changed from "^22.14.0" to "^22.14.0" (already specific).
    • @types/prismjs: Added with version "^1.26.5".
    • @types/react: Added with version "^19.1.8".
    • @types/react-dom: Added with version "^19.1.6".
    • typescript: Changed from "~5.7.2" to "~5.7.2" (already specific).
    • vite: Changed from "^6.2.0" to "^6.2.0" (already specific).

Step-by-step Action:

  1. Read the existing /home/yannik/repos/swa-practice-app/package.json file.
  2. Construct a new package.json content with the updated, explicit versions for all dependencies and devDependencies.
  3. Write the new content back to /home/yannik/repos/swa-practice-app/package.json.

   }
 }

2. Implementing Secure Gemini API Key Handling in App.tsx

Objective: To provide a user-friendly and secure method for users to input and manage their Gemini API key, avoiding hardcoding and enabling persistence across sessions.

Previous State: The application either hardcoded the API key or relied solely on environment variables, which is not ideal for client-side applications or user-specific keys.

Changes Made:

  • API Key State Management:
    • Introduced useState hooks for apiKey, showSettings (for modal visibility), and inputKey (for the input field value).
    • The apiKey is now initialized by first checking localStorage for a previously saved key. If not found, it falls back to process.env.API_KEY (though for client-side, localStorage is preferred for user-entered keys).
    • The GoogleGenAI instance is memoized (useMemo) and only created if an apiKey is present, preventing errors if the key is missing.
  • Settings Modal Integration:
    • A Cog6ToothIcon (gear icon) button was added to the top-right corner of the application.
    • Clicking this button opens a Dialog (modal) from @headlessui/react.
    • The modal contains an input field for the Gemini API key.
    • "Save" and "Cancel" buttons are provided to manage the input.
    • Upon saving, the inputKey is stored in localStorage under the key gemini_api_key and updates the apiKey state.
  • User Guidance in Modal:
    • Added informative text within the settings modal to guide users:
      • "Your API key is stored in your browser only." (for transparency regarding local storage).
      • "Get an API key at https://aistudio.google.com/ - this app uses gemini-2.5-flash, which is free for 500 requests a day (as of 9.7.2025)" (providing direct instructions and usage context).
  • Robust evaluateWithGemini Function:
    • Modified the evaluateWithGemini function to accept the ai instance as a parameter, ensuring it uses the dynamically created GoogleGenAI instance.
    • Added a check within handleSubmit in ExerciseSheet to verify the ai instance and its models.generateContent method before making API calls, providing a user-friendly error message if the API key is missing or invalid.
  • Template Literal Escaping Fixes:
    • Crucially, fixed syntax errors within the systemInstruction and contents template literals in evaluateWithGemini. The original code had issues with unescaped backticks (`) and newlines ( ) when they were part of the string content itself, leading to build failures.
    • Specific Fix: All literal backticks within the template strings (e.g., for code blocks like c ) were escaped as ``` ```. All literal newlines ( ) within the template strings were escaped as \\n. This ensures they are interpreted as literal characters within the string rather than JavaScript syntax.

Step-by-step Actions:

  1. Read the content of /home/yannik/repos/swa-practice-app/App.tsx.
  2. Locate the App functional component.
  3. Add useState and useEffect hooks for API key management.
  4. Integrate the Dialog component from @headlessui/react for the settings modal.
  5. Add the Cog6ToothIcon button to trigger the modal.
  6. Insert the API key input field and save/cancel logic within the modal.
  7. Add the informational text about API key acquisition and usage limits to the modal.
  8. Modify the evaluateWithGemini function signature and its usage within ExerciseSheet to pass the ai instance.
  9. Apply the necessary escaping (\`\`\` for backticks, \\n for newlines) within the systemInstruction and contents template literals in evaluateWithGemini.
  10. Write the modified content back to /home/yannik/repos/swa-practice-app/App.tsx.

3. Creating a Dockerfile for Containerization

Objective: To enable easy and consistent deployment of the application using Docker, ensuring that the build environment and runtime environment are standardized.

Previous State: No Dockerfile existed, requiring manual setup of the Node.js environment and dependencies for deployment.

Changes Made:

  • Multi-stage Build: Implemented a multi-stage Dockerfile for optimized image size and build efficiency.
    • base stage: Sets up the Node.js 21-slim image, configures pnpm, copies the application code, and sets the working directory.
    • prod-deps stage: Installs only production dependencies using pnpm install --prod --frozen-lockfile, leveraging build cache.
    • build stage: Installs all dependencies and runs the pnpm run build command to create the production build, also leveraging build cache.
    • Final stage: Copies only the necessary node_modules from prod-deps and the dist (build output) from build. It then installs serve globally to serve the static files.
  • Port Exposure and Command: Exposes port 8000 and sets the default command to serve -s dist -l 8000, making the application accessible.

Step-by-step Action:

  1. Construct the Dockerfile content with the specified multi-stage build instructions.
  2. Write this content to /home/yannik/repos/swa-practice-app/Dockerfile.

Code Changes (Dockerfile):

FROM node:21-slim AS base
ENV PNPM_HOME="/pnpm"
ENV PATH="$PNPM_HOME:$PATH"
RUN corepack enable
COPY . /app
WORKDIR /app

FROM base AS prod-deps
RUN --mount=type=cache,id=pnpm,target=/pnpm/store pnpm install --prod --frozen-lockfile

FROM base AS build
RUN --mount=type=cache,id=pnpm,target=/pnpm/store pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
RUN pnpm run build

FROM base
COPY --from=prod-deps /app/node_modules /app/node_modules
COPY --from=build /app/dist /app/dist
RUN pnpm install -g serve
EXPOSE 8000
CMD [ "serve", "-s", "dist", "-l", "8000" ]

4. Cleaning Up .env.local

Objective: To remove any placeholder API keys from environment configuration files, ensuring that the application relies on user-provided keys or properly configured environment variables in production.

Previous State: The .env.local file contained GEMINI_API_KEY=PLACEHOLDER_API_KEY.

Changes Made:

  • Placeholder Removal: The PLACEHOLDER_API_KEY value was replaced with an empty string, resulting in GEMINI_API_KEY=.

Step-by-step Action:

5. Optional: Adding Mermaid Diagram Support

Objective: To provide interactive Mermaid diagram rendering for exercises that require diagram creation, enhancing the user experience for architecture-related questions.

Previous State: The application had 'mermaid' as a defined exercise type in types.ts, but no actual Mermaid rendering component was implemented.

Changes Made:

  • Mermaid Dependency: Added mermaid package (version 11.8.1) to handle diagram rendering.
  • MermaidDiagram Component: Created a new React component that:
    • Provides a textarea for Mermaid syntax input
    • Renders diagrams in real-time as the user types
    • Shows error messages for invalid syntax
    • Displays a preview of the rendered diagram
    • Uses unique IDs for each render to prevent caching issues
  • Exercise Integration: Modified the ExerciseSheet component to use MermaidDiagram for exercises with type: 'mermaid'

Step-by-step Actions:

  1. Add mermaid import to App.tsx
  2. Create the MermaidDiagram component with state management for diagram HTML and errors
  3. Implement useEffect hooks to initialize Mermaid and handle diagram rendering
  4. Add unique ID generation using useRef to prevent render caching issues
  5. Update the exercise rendering logic to conditionally show MermaidDiagram for mermaid exercises
  6. Add appropriate styling and error handling for the diagram preview

Key Features:

  • Real-time Preview: Users can see their Mermaid diagram rendered as they type
  • Error Handling: Clear error messages for invalid Mermaid syntax
  • Unique Rendering: Each render uses a unique ID to prevent caching issues that could cause diagrams to disappear
  • DOM Cleanup: Proper cleanup of mermaid-generated DOM elements to prevent accumulation of leftover elements from failed renders
  • Consistent Styling: Matches the existing design language of the application
  • Accessibility: Proper ARIA labels and semantic HTML structure

Important Implementation Details:

  • DOM Element Cleanup: Added finally block in render function to clean up DOM elements that mermaid creates, especially important for failed renders which would otherwise leave orphaned elements
  • Component Unmount Cleanup: Added cleanup useEffect to remove any lingering mermaid elements when component unmounts
  • Unique ID Generation: Uses useRef counter to generate unique IDs for each render attempt, preventing mermaid's internal caching issues

This enhancement makes the application more suitable for software architecture exercises that require diagram creation and visualization.

6. Optional: Implementing Sentry User Feedback

Objective: To provide a simple and effective way for users to provide feedback, report issues, or suggest new ideas directly from within the application.

Previous State: The application had no built-in feedback mechanism.

Changes Made:

  • Sentry SDK Update: Replaced @sentry/browser with @sentry/react to leverage React-specific features.
  • Sentry Initialization: Configured the Sentry SDK in index.tsx to include the feedbackIntegration, enabling the user feedback features.
  • Custom Feedback Dialog:
    • Instead of using the default Sentry feedback widget, a custom feedback dialog was implemented in App.tsx for a more integrated user experience.
    • A "Feedback" button with a ChatBubbleLeftRightIcon was added to the top-right corner of the application.
    • Clicking the button opens a Dialog (modal) from @headlessui/react.
    • The modal contains a textarea for the user to enter their feedback, with German placeholder text.
    • When the user submits the feedback, Sentry.captureFeedback is called to send the feedback to Sentry.

Step-by-step Actions:

  1. Remove @sentry/browser and add @sentry/react to package.json.
  2. Update index.tsx to import from @sentry/react and add the feedbackIntegration to the Sentry.init call.
  3. In App.tsx, import ChatBubbleLeftRightIcon from @heroicons/react/24/outline and * as Sentry from "@sentry/react".
  4. Add state variables for the feedback dialog visibility and the feedback message.
  5. Add a "Feedback" button next to the "Settings" button.
  6. Implement the custom feedback Dialog component with a textarea and submit/cancel buttons.
  7. Create a handler function that calls Sentry.captureFeedback with the user's message.
  8. Write the modified content back to the respective files.
