This is a comprehensive migration of the AnyCommerce e-commerce platform from a 2014-era jQuery-based RIA to a modern Vue3 + Rust/WASM architecture for app4.dog smart pet treat dispensers.

Major Changes

Frontend (Vue3 + TypeScript)

  • Created modern Vue3 SPA using Composition API
  • Implemented TypeScript for full type safety
  • Set up Pinia for reactive state management
  • Configured Vite for fast HMR and optimized builds
  • Created Product and Cart components with 1:1 feature parity

WASM API Layer (Rust)

  • Implemented DispatchQueue system for API request batching
  • Created ProductProcessor for variations and SKU calculation
  • Built CartManager for shopping cart operations
  • Added Validator for form validation (email, phone, credit card)
  • Optimized for size with LTO and panic=abort

Infrastructure

  • Multi-stage Dockerfile for optimized production builds
  • justfile with comprehensive build automation recipes
  • b00t methodology integration for consistent workflows
  • Nginx configuration with WASM MIME types and SPA routing

Project Structure

Technology Stack

  • Vue 3.x + TypeScript + Vite
  • Rust 1.91 + wasm-bindgen
  • Pinia for state management
  • Axios for HTTP client
  • Docker + nginx for deployment

API Compatibility

Maintains 1:1 compatibility with existing backend API:

  • appProductGet, appCartCreate, cartDetail, cartItemAppend
  • appCategoryList, appPublicSearch, and more

Performance Improvements

  • Near-native performance for complex calculations via WASM
  • Reduced bundle size compared to legacy jQuery
  • Efficient product variation processing
  • Fast cart calculations

Migration Notes

  • Legacy code preserved in /legacy directory
  • No XML data structures found (already JSON-based)
  • Markdown support maintained for backend compatibility
  • Ready for early integration testing

Quick Start

just install  # Install all dependencies
just build    # Build WASM + frontend
just dev      # Start dev server (port 3000)
just docker-run  # Build and run in Docker

Pull Request Overview

This PR implements a comprehensive migration of the AnyCommerce e-commerce platform from a legacy jQuery-based architecture (circa 2014) to a modern Vue3 + Rust/WASM stack. The migration focuses on creating a high-performance frontend for app4.dog smart pet treat dispensers while maintaining complete API compatibility with the existing backend.

Key Changes:

  • Implemented Vue3 frontend with TypeScript, Pinia state management, and Vite build tooling
  • Created Rust/WASM API layer for performance-critical operations (cart management, product variations, validation)
  • Established containerized deployment with multi-stage Docker builds and nginx configuration
