# Python to TypeScript Migration Guide

## ✅ Migration Complete

All Python code has been successfully migrated to TypeScript/Node.js.

## 📋 What Changed

### Backend
- **Flask → Express.js**: Web framework
- **Python → TypeScript**: Language migration
- **sqlite3 → better-sqlite3**: Database library
- **PyYAML → yaml**: YAML parsing
- **Jinja2 → EJS**: Template engine

### Templates
- Converted from Jinja2 to EJS syntax
- All templates updated and tested

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Install Dependencies
```bash
# Install pnpm (if not already installed)
npm install -g pnpm
# Or using corepack
corepack enable && corepack prepare pnpm@latest --activate

cd orchestration/portal
pnpm install
```

### Development
```bash
pnpm dev
```

### Production
```bash
pnpm build
pnpm start
```

## 📝 Template Syntax Changes

### Variables
```jinja2
# Jinja2 (Python)
{{ variable }}
```

```ejs
// EJS (TypeScript)
<%= variable %>
```

### Conditionals
```jinja2
# Jinja2
{% if condition %}
  content
{% endif %}
```

```ejs
// EJS
<% if (condition) { %>
  content
<% } %>
```

### Loops
```jinja2
# Jinja2
{% for item in items %}
  {{ item }}
{% endfor %}
```

```ejs
// EJS
<% items.forEach(item => { %>
  <%= item %>
<% }); %>
```

### Filters
```jinja2
# Jinja2
{{ value|upper }}
{{ value|title }}
{{ value|round(2) }}
```

```ejs
// EJS
<%= value.toUpperCase() %>
<%= value.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + value.slice(1) %>
<%= value.toFixed(2) %>
```

## 🔄 API Compatibility

All API endpoints remain the same:
- Same routes
- Same request/response formats
- Same functionality

## 📦 File Structure

```
orchestration/portal/
├── src/                    # TypeScript source
│   ├── server.ts          # Main server
│   ├── config.ts          # Configuration
│   ├── database.ts        # Database operations
│   └── types/             # Type definitions
├── templates/             # EJS templates
├── static/               # Static assets
├── dist/                 # Compiled JavaScript
├── package.json          # Dependencies
└── tsconfig.json         # TypeScript config
```

## 🎯 Benefits

1. **Type Safety**: Compile-time error checking
2. **Better IDE Support**: Autocomplete, refactoring
3. **Modern JavaScript**: ES2022 features
4. **Performance**: Node.js performance
5. **Ecosystem**: Access to npm packages

## 🔧 Configuration

### Environment Variables
```bash
PORT=5000              # Server port
HOST=0.0.0.0          # Server host
DB_PATH=...           # Database path (optional)
```

### TypeScript Config
See `tsconfig.json` for compiler options.

## 📚 Documentation

- [TypeScript README](README_TYPESCRIPT.md) - Complete TypeScript documentation
- [Original README](README_ENHANCED.md) - Original Python documentation

## 🐛 Troubleshooting

### Build Errors
```bash
rm -rf dist node_modules
pnpm install
pnpm build
```

### Template Errors
- Check EJS syntax
- Ensure variables are passed correctly
- Use `<%- JSON.stringify(data) %>` for objects

### Database Issues
- Ensure `logs/` directory exists
- Check file permissions
- Database auto-creates on first run

## ✅ Migration Checklist

- [x] Convert Flask to Express
- [x] Convert Python functions to TypeScript
- [x] Update database operations
- [x] Convert templates to EJS
- [x] Create TypeScript types
- [x] Update configuration
- [x] Create build scripts
- [x] Update documentation

## 🎉 Status

**Migration Complete!** All Python code has been successfully migrated to TypeScript.
