Architecture

The shared UI package used by both apps/frontend (Nuxt 3) and apps/app-frontend (Vue 3 + Tauri). Components here must be platform-agnostic — use dependency injection for platform-specific behavior.

Folder Structure

src/
├── components/       # Vue components organized by feature domain
├── composables/      # Vue 3 composition API hooks
├── layouts/          # Self-contained page layouts (see below)
├── providers/        # Dependency injection contexts (createContext pattern)
├── utils/            # Utility functions and constants
├── pages/            # Cross platform page components (used in both app-frontend and frontend)
├── locales/          # 34 language locale files (FormatJS)
├── styles/           # Tailwind CSS utilities
└── stories/          # Storybook story files

Each subdirectory under components/ has an index.ts barrel file. All public API is re-exported from the root index.ts.

src/layouts/

Self-contained page layouts shared across frontends. Split into two categories:

• shared/ — Reusable layout modules with their own components, composables, providers, and types. Each module is a self-contained unit (e.g. shared/content-tab/ contains the content/mods tab layout with its own layout.vue, components/, composables/, providers/, and types.ts).
• wrapped/ — Page-level Vue components that mirror route structures (e.g. wrapped/hosting/manage/). These are full page implementations consumed by both apps/frontend and apps/app-frontend.

Files inside layouts/ use the #ui/* import alias (resolved via the "imports" field in package.json) to reference other src/ modules like #ui/components/base/ButtonStyled.vue or #ui/composables/i18n.

Code Guidelines

Tailwind Configuration

All frontend packages share a Tailwind preset at packages/tooling-config/tailwind/tailwind-preset.ts. This package's tailwind.config.ts extends it:

import preset from '@modrinth/tooling-config/tailwind/tailwind-preset.ts'

CSS custom properties are defined in packages/assets/styles/variables.scss with light, dark, and OLED theme variants.

Color Usage Rules

Use surface-* variables for backgrounds — never aliased bg-* color variables:

Token	Usage
bg-surface-1	Deepest background layer
bg-surface-1.5	Odd row background (tables)
bg-surface-2	Even row background, secondary panels
bg-surface-3	Headers, floating bar backgrounds, inputs
bg-surface-4	Cards, elevated surfaces
bg-surface-5	Borders, dividers

For text colors:

Class	Usage
text-contrast	Primary headings
text-primary	Default body text
text-secondary	Reduced emphasis, secondary info

Brand and semantic colors not all exposed as Figma variables — refer to packages/assets/styles/variables.scss for the full set:

• bg-{color}, text-{color} etc. — Primary brand colors
• bg-{color}-highlight — 25% opacity semantic highlights

Color palette (each with shades 50–950): red, orange, green, blue, purple, gray. Platform-specific colors also exist (fabric, forge, quilt, neoforge, etc.).

Storybook

When modifying a component in src/components/, you must also update its corresponding Storybook story in src/stories/ to reflect the changes. If a story file doesn't exist yet, create one. Stories should cover the component's key states and variants.

Dependency Injection

This package defines the DI layer using createContext from src/providers/index.ts. See the dependency-injection skill (.claude/skills/dependency-injection/SKILL.md) for full documentation.

Key providers exported from this package:

• provideModrinthClient / injectModrinthClient — API client
• provideNotificationManager / injectNotificationManager — Notifications

Vue Template Rules

Multi-statement event handlers

Never use newline-separated statements in Vue template event handlers like @click. Vue's template compiler cannot parse multi-line expressions separated only by newlines. Always use semicolons on a single line:

<!-- BAD: will cause "Unexpected token" parse error -->
@click=" foo = true $emit('bar') "

<!-- GOOD -->
@click="foo = true; $emit('bar')"
