Frontend Integration

class ProjectService {
  async createProject(projectData: CreateProjectRequest): Promise<CreateProjectResponse> {
    return await Parse.Cloud.run('createProject', projectData);
  }

  async getProject(projectId: string): Promise<GetProjectResponse> {

React Component Example

import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { ProjectService } from '../services/ProjectService'; // Assuming a service class
import ProjectCard from './ProjectCard'; // Component to display individual project summary

export function ProjectDashboard() {
  const [projects, setProjects] = useState<ProjectSummary[]>([]);
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);

  useEffect(() => {
    loadProjects();
  }, []);

  const loadProjects = async () => {
    try {
      const result = await new ProjectService().listProjects({ filter: 'owned' });
      if (result.success) {
        setProjects(result.projects);
      }
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Failed to load projects:', error);
    } finally {
      setLoading(false);
    }
  };

  const createNewProject = async (projectData: CreateProjectRequest) => {
    try {
      const result = await new ProjectService().createProject(projectData);
      if (result.success) {
        await loadProjects(); // Refresh project list
        return result;
      }
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Failed to create project:', error);
      throw error;
    }
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>My Projects</h1>
      {loading ? (
        <div>Loading...</div>
      ) : (
        <div>
          {projects.map(project => (
            <ProjectCard key={project.id} project={project} />
          ))}
        </div>
      )}
    </div>
  );
}

Error Handling

Common Errors

  • "Authentication required": User not logged in
  • "Insufficient permissions": User lacks required permissions
  • "Unsupported network": Network not supported
  • "Invalid project template": Template not found or invalid
  • "Contract deployment failed": Smart contract deployment error
  • "Project not found": Project ID not found or access denied

Error Recovery

async function handleProjectDeploymentFailure(projectId: string, error: any): Promise<void> {
  try {
    const project = await new Parse.Query('Project')
      .equalTo('objectId', projectId)
      .first({ useMasterKey: true });

    if (project) {
      project.set('status', 'failed');
      project.set('deploymentError', error.message);
      project.set('lastFailedAt', new Date());
      await project.save();

      // Notify project owner
      await sendDeploymentFailureNotification(project, error);

      // Schedule retry if appropriate
      if (isRetryableError(error)) {
        await scheduleDeploymentRetry(projectId);
      }
    }
  } catch (recoveryError) {
    console.error('Error recovery failed:', recoveryError);
  }
}

Best Practices

Project Management

  1. Template Validation: Validate project templates before deployment
  2. Permission Management: Implement proper access controls
  3. Resource Monitoring: Monitor deployment resources and costs
  4. Backup Strategy: Implement project backup and recovery

Development Guidelines

  1. Error Handling: Comprehensive error handling and recovery
  2. Event Logging: Log all project operations for auditing
  3. Testing: Thorough testing of project templates and configurations
  4. Documentation: Document project templates and configurations

Security Considerations

  • Access Control: Proper project access controls and permissions
  • Contract Security: Secure smart contract deployment and management
  • Data Validation: Validate all project configuration data
  • Audit Trail: Complete audit trail for all project operations
  • Resource Limits: Implement resource limits and quotas
  • Collaboration Security: Secure collaboration and permission management
