Pure UI Client for Sylphx Code

Event-driven React hooks and stores with zero business logic.

🎯 Overview

The client package provides shared React components, hooks, and state management for Sylphx Code interfaces (TUI and Web). Built on the Pure UI Client architecture with event-driven synchronization.

Key Principles:

• ✅ Zero business logic - Server decides everything
• ✅ Event-driven - No circular dependencies
• ✅ Optimistic updates - Instant UI feedback
• ✅ Multi-client ready - TUI + Web synchronized

📦 Installation

# Using bun
bun add @sylphx/code-client

# Using npm
npm install @sylphx/code-client

# Using pnpm
pnpm add @sylphx/code-client

✨ Features

Event Bus

Type-safe pub/sub for store communication:

import { eventBus } from '@sylphx/code-client';

// Emit event
eventBus.emit('session:created', {
  sessionId: 'session-123',
  enabledRuleIds: ['rule1', 'rule2'],
});

// Listen to event
eventBus.on('session:created', ({ sessionId, enabledRuleIds }) => {
  console.log('New session:', sessionId);
});

6 Event Types:

• session:created - New session created
• session:changed - Session switched
• session:loaded - Server fetch complete
• session:rulesUpdated - Rules modified
• streaming:started - Streaming begins
• streaming:completed - Streaming ends

Zustand Stores

Clean state management with zero circular deps:

import { useSessionStore, useSettingsStore } from '@sylphx/code-client';

function MyComponent() {
  const currentSessionId = useSessionStore(s => s.currentSessionId);
  const enabledRuleIds = useSettingsStore(s => s.enabledRuleIds);
  const isStreaming = useSessionStore(s => s.isStreaming);

  return (
    <div>
      Session: {currentSessionId}
      Rules: {enabledRuleIds.join(', ')}
      {isStreaming && <Spinner />}
    </div>
  );
}

React Hooks

Type-safe data fetching with tRPC:

import { useCurrentSession, useAgents } from '@sylphx/code-client';

function ChatScreen() {
  // Auto-synced with server
  const { session, isLoading } = useCurrentSession();
  const { agents } = useAgents();

  if (isLoading) return <Loading />;

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{session?.id}</h1>
      <AgentSelector agents={agents} />
    </div>
  );
}

tRPC Provider

Setup with in-process or HTTP link:

import { TRPCProvider } from '@sylphx/code-client';
import { createTRPCInProcessLink } from '@sylphx/code-client';

function App() {
  const router = getRouter(); // From code-server

  return (
    <TRPCProvider link={createTRPCInProcessLink(router)}>
      <YourApp />
    </TRPCProvider>
  );
}

Event-Driven Coordination

Before (Circular Dependencies):

// ❌ session-store imports settings-store
import { useSettingsStore } from './settings-store';
useSettingsStore.getState().setEnabledRuleIds(rules);

After (Event-Driven):

// ✅ session-store emits event
eventBus.emit('session:loaded', { enabledRuleIds: rules });

// ✅ settings-store listens (separate file)
eventBus.on('session:loaded', ({ enabledRuleIds }) => {
  useSettingsStore.setState({ enabledRuleIds });
});

Result: Zero circular dependencies ✅

📚 API Reference

Event Bus

import { eventBus, type AppEvents } from '@sylphx/code-client';

// Emit typed event
eventBus.emit('session:created', {
  sessionId: string,
  enabledRuleIds: string[],
});

// Listen to event
const unsubscribe = eventBus.on('session:created', (data) => {
  console.log(data.sessionId, data.enabledRuleIds);
});

// Unsubscribe
unsubscribe();

// Clear all listeners (testing)
eventBus.clear();

// Check listener count
const count = eventBus.listenerCount('session:created');

Stores

Session Store:

import { useSessionStore } from '@sylphx/code-client';

const store = useSessionStore();

// State
store.currentSessionId: string | null;
store.currentSession: Session | null;
store.isStreaming: boolean;

// Actions
store.setCurrentSessionId(id);
store.setCurrentSession(session);
store.setIsStreaming(true);

Settings Store:

import { useSettingsStore } from '@sylphx/code-client';

const store = useSettingsStore();

// State
store.selectedAgentId: string;
store.enabledRuleIds: string[];

// Actions (call server)
await store.setSelectedAgent('coder');
await store.setEnabledRuleIds(['rule1', 'rule2'], sessionId);

AI Config Store:

import { useAIConfigStore } from '@sylphx/code-client';

const store = useAIConfigStore();

// State
store.aiConfig: AIConfig | null;
store.isLoading: boolean;
store.error: Error | null;

// Actions
await store.loadConfig(cwd);
await store.saveConfig(config, cwd);

Hooks

useCurrentSession:

import { useCurrentSession } from '@sylphx/code-client';

const { session, isLoading, error } = useCurrentSession();

// Auto-refetch when currentSessionId changes
// Respects isStreaming flag (no overwrites during stream)

useAgents:

import { useAgents } from '@sylphx/code-client';

const { agents, isLoading, error } = useAgents();
// Returns all available agents

useRules:

import { useRules } from '@sylphx/code-client';

const { rules, isLoading, error } = useRules('coder');
// Returns rules for specific agent

tRPC Provider

import { TRPCProvider, createTRPCInProcessLink, createTRPCHttpLink } from '@sylphx/code-client';

// In-process (embedded)
<TRPCProvider link={createTRPCInProcessLink(router)}>
  <App />
</TRPCProvider>

// HTTP (remote)
<TRPCProvider link={createTRPCHttpLink('http://localhost:3000/trpc')}>
  <App />
</TRPCProvider>

Testing Example

import { eventBus, useSessionStore, setupSessionStoreEventListeners } from '@sylphx/code-client';
import { beforeEach, it, expect } from 'vitest';

beforeEach(() => {
  // Reset state
  useSessionStore.setState({
    currentSessionId: null,
    isStreaming: false,
  });

  // Clear and re-setup event listeners
  eventBus.clear();
  setupSessionStoreEventListeners();
});

it('should sync streaming state', () => {
  eventBus.emit('streaming:started', {
    sessionId: 'session-123',
    messageId: 'msg-456',
  });

  expect(useSessionStore.getState().isStreaming).toBe(true);

  eventBus.emit('streaming:completed', {
    sessionId: 'session-123',
    messageId: 'msg-456',
  });

  expect(useSessionStore.getState().isStreaming).toBe(false);
});

🎯 Use Cases

Building Custom UI

import { TRPCProvider, useCurrentSession, eventBus } from '@sylphx/code-client';

function CustomInterface() {
  const { session } = useCurrentSession();

  return (
    <TRPCProvider link={createTRPCInProcessLink(router)}>
      <ChatView session={session} />
    </TRPCProvider>
  );
}

Multi-Client Sync

// Client 1 (TUI) creates session
await client.session.create.mutate({...});

// Server emits event
eventBus.emit('session:created', { sessionId, enabledRuleIds });

// Client 2 (Web) receives event via SSE
eventSource.addEventListener('session:created', (event) => {
  const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
  // Both clients now synchronized
});

Optimistic Updates

import { useSettingsStore } from '@sylphx/code-client';

async function updateRules(ruleIds: string[]) {
  // 1. Optimistic update (instant UI)
  useSettingsStore.setState({ enabledRuleIds: ruleIds });

  // 2. Call server
  await client.config.updateRules.mutate({ ruleIds });

  // 3. Server emits event
  // 4. All clients receive confirmation
}
