Description

Problem

Framework selector uses hardcoded list. Adding new frameworks requires frontend changes.

Solution

  • Create GET /frameworks endpoint and fetch frameworks dynamically.

Tasks

Backend:

  • Add /frameworks endpoint in core/src/api/
  • Use existing list_available_generators() function
  • Return framework metadata from template configs

Frontend:

  • Update FrameworkSelector to fetch from API
  • Add loading state and error handling
  • Fallback to hardcoded list if API fails

API Response:

  {
    "frameworks": [
      {"id": "nodejs-express-js", "name": "Node.js + Express", "icon": "🟢"},
      {"id": "java-spring", "name": "Java + Spring Boot", "icon": "☕"}
    ]
  }

Files:

  • core/src/api/routes.py
  • web/src/features/framework-selector/components/FrameworkSelector.tsx

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the existing list available generators() function in core/src/api/ to understand how it returns framework metadata. Then create a new GET /frameworks endpoint that calls this function and returns the data in the specified JSON format. For the frontend, modify FrameworkSelector.tsx to fetch from the new endpoint, adding loading states and error handling with a fallback to the hardcoded list.
