@octabits-io/nuxt-ui-kit

Frontend kit for Nuxt/Vue admin SPAs. Ships factory-style seams — the app keeps thin plugin/store/middleware files and wires the kit into them; the kit never touches Nuxt APIs (defineNuxtPlugin, navigateTo, useRuntimeConfig) itself, so it has no Nuxt dependency, only vue.

What's inside

• OIDC session harness (oidc-client-ts peer)
  • createUserManagerFactory({ getConfig, scope, … }) — lazy UserManager singleton bound to localStorage
  • removeStaleOidcKeys, isUnrecoverableRenewError
  • createLoginRedirector — signin redirect carrying the current path as returnUrl, with a /login?redirect= fallback
  • attachSessionLifecycleHandlers — classifies silent-renew failures / token expiry / back-channel signout into notify + onSessionLost + login-redirect callbacks; copy and toasts stay in the app
  • ZITADEL_ORG_PROJECT_SCOPE / ZITADEL_REFRESH_TOKEN_ALLOWED_SCOPE presets (Zitadel restricts refresh-grant scopes — see the constant's docs)
  • seedAuthBypassSession — dev/E2E bypass with an unconditional production-build refusal (isProductionBuild is a required argument)
• Auth session store core — createAuthSessionCore returns the setup body (user/checkAuth/login/handleCallback/logout, silent-renew retry, id_token_hint logout) for the app's own defineStore('auth', …)
• Route guard builder — createAuthGuard returns a handler yielding a redirect target or undefined; per-app policy (org validation, role gates) goes in the afterAuthenticated hook
• Eden Treaty client factory (@elysiajs/eden peer) — createTreatyClientFactory<App> (lazy singleton, bearer injection, parseDate: false by default to keep ISO-date strings string-typed on the wire), plus createAccessTokenProvider and resolveApiBaseUrl
• Org store core — createOrgStoreCore<TOrg> (granted orgs, slug-keyed selection, persistence, lost-access revocation) for the app's own store
• API error → i18n — createApiErrorMessenger({ t, te }): maps { key, message } bodies and validation errors to user-facing strings via the errors.* / validation.fields.* / validation.messages.* key convention; unwraps Eden { value } envelopes
• Confirm dialog — promise-based useConfirm() + singleton state, with a ./components/ConfirmDialog.vue renderer (common.cancel/common.confirm i18n defaults, zIndexClass prop for stacking above slideovers)
• Generic primitives — useDirtyTracking (deep-compare form dirty state), usePagination (offset pagination with queryParams), ./components/SubSidebar.vue (responsive list/detail layout — desktop column, mobile slideover, selectionQueryKey auto-close)
• ./zod (zod peer) — setupZodLocaleSync: keep Zod's built-in error messages in the active UI language
• ./dates (date-fns peer) — Period/calculateDays/shiftIso, useDateRangeInput, and createDateFormatter({ getLocale }) (the engine of an app-side useDateFormat), plus source-shipped ./components/DateInput.vue, DateRangeInput.vue (travel/booking end-date semantics, blocked dates via props, injected availabilityCheck), and PeriodDisplay.vue
• ./ai — frontend AI-workflow engine: useAiWorkflow / useAiWorkflowGuard (poll-driven state over injected transport), createAiProgressCore (cross-page tracking + completion/applied signals — the setup body of the app's progress store), useAiCardState, useActiveAiWorkflowProbe, createWorkflowRegistry, and ./components/AiResultReviewCard.vue; dialog/float shells stay in the app (thin views over this state, registry- and router-coupled)

Components ship as source

./components/*.vue files are published as .vue source — the consumer's Vite compiles them. They use only explicit imports (@nuxt/ui/components/*.vue, vue-i18n, vue-router), so no auto-import configuration is required, and they import kit composables from the package root (self-reference) so module-scoped singleton state (the confirm dialog) is shared with feature code. Register them under your app's own names with one-line re-exports:

// app/components/AppSubSidebar.ts
export { default } from '@octabits-io/nuxt-ui-kit/components/SubSidebar.vue'

Wiring examples (Nuxt)

Auth + API client

// app/plugins/10.oidc.client.ts
export const getUserManager = createUserManagerFactory({
  getConfig: () => ({ issuerUrl, clientId }),           // runtime config lookup
  scope: ZITADEL_ORG_PROJECT_SCOPE,
  refreshTokenAllowedScope: ZITADEL_REFRESH_TOKEN_ALLOWED_SCOPE,
})
export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
  attachSessionLifecycleHandlers(getUserManager(), {
    redirectToLogin: createLoginRedirector({ getUserManager }),
    onSessionLost: () => useAuthStore().$patch({ user: null }),
    notify: (notice) => toast.add(/* map notice.kind to your copy */),
  })
})

// app/composables/useApi.ts
const getClient = createTreatyClientFactory<App>({
  getBaseUrl: () => resolveApiBaseUrl({ configuredUrl, isProductionBuild: import.meta.env.PROD, devFallbackPort: 3002 }),
  getAccessToken: createAccessTokenProvider(getUserManager),
})

// app/stores/auth.ts
export const useAuthStore = defineStore('auth', () =>
  createAuthSessionCore({ getUserManager, mapUser: defaultAuthUserMapper }))

// app/middleware/auth.global.ts
const guard = createAuthGuard({ ensureAuthenticated, afterAuthenticated: appPolicy })
export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware(async (to) => {
  const target = await guard(to)
  if (target) return navigateTo(target)
})

Errors, confirm, formatting

// app/composables/useApiError.ts — bind your i18n instance
export function useApiError() {
  const { t, te } = useI18n()
  return createApiErrorMessenger({ t: key => t(key), te: key => te(key) })
}

// anywhere — the ConfirmDialog.vue renderer must be mounted once in a layout
const { confirm } = useConfirm()
if (await confirm({ title: t('owners.delete.title'), dangerous: true })) { /* … */ }

// app/composables/useDateFormat.ts
export function useDateFormat() {
  const { locale } = useI18n()
  return createDateFormatter({ getLocale: () => locale.value })
}

AI workflows

// app/stores/aiProgress.ts — transport injected, signals consumed by pages
export const useAiProgressStore = defineStore('ai-progress', () =>
  createAiProgressCore<AiDialogRequest>({
    fetchWorkflowStatus: async (id) => {
      const { data, error } = await api.ai.workflows({ id }).get()
      return error || !data ? null : data
    },
  }))

// a page — rehydrate on mount, refuse duplicate triggers
const ai = useAiWorkflowGuard<MyOutput>({
  checkFn: fetchLatestWorkflow,
  pollFn: fetchLatestWorkflow,
  onCompleted: (wf) => showReview(wf.output),
})
await ai.trigger(() => api.ai.workflows.post({ type: 'listing-fields' }))
