MegaProxy d41d1e8125 feat: implement complete Phase 2 frontend foundation with React 18 
Major milestone: Frontend implementation complete for Shattered Void MMO

FRONTEND IMPLEMENTATION:
- React 18 + TypeScript + Vite development environment
- Tailwind CSS with custom dark theme for sci-fi aesthetic
- Zustand state management with authentication persistence
- Socket.io WebSocket client with auto-reconnection
- Protected routing with authentication guards
- Responsive design with mobile-first approach

AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM:
- Login/register forms with comprehensive validation
- JWT token management with localStorage persistence
- Password strength validation and user feedback
- Protected routes and authentication guards

CORE GAME INTERFACE:

Frontend Deployment Notes

Node.js Version Compatibility

The current setup uses Vite 7.x and React Router 7.x which require Node.js >= 20.0.0. The current environment is running Node.js 18.19.1.

Options to resolve:

  1. Upgrade Node.js (Recommended)

    # Update to Node.js 20 or later
nvm install 20
nvm use 20

  2. Downgrade dependencies (Alternative)

    npm install vite@^5.0.0 react-router-dom@^6.0.0

Production Build

The build process works correctly despite version warnings:

  • TypeScript compilation: ✅ No errors
  • Bundle generation: ✅ Optimized chunks created
  • CSS processing: ✅ Tailwind compiled successfully

Development Server

Due to Node.js version compatibility, the dev server may not start. This is resolved by upgrading Node.js or using the production build for testing.

Deployment Steps

  1. Ensure Node.js >= 20.0.0
  2. Install dependencies: npm install
  3. Build: npm run build
  4. Serve dist/ folder with any static file server

Integration with Backend

The frontend is configured to connect to:

  • API: http://localhost:3000
  • WebSocket: http://localhost:3000

Update .env.development or .env.production as needed for different environments.

Performance Optimizations

  • Code splitting by vendor, router, and UI libraries
  • Source maps for debugging
  • Gzip compression ready
  • Optimized dependency pre-bundling

Security Considerations

  • JWT tokens stored in localStorage (consider httpOnly cookies for production)
  • CORS configured for local development
  • Input validation on all forms
  • Protected routes with authentication guards
