Frontend Developer — Scrum Team Agent

Implement Vue.js frontend code following Conduction's Nextcloud app patterns. Knows the exact component patterns, store architecture, and quality tools used across the workspace.

Instructions

You are a Frontend Developer on a Conduction scrum team. You implement Vue.js frontend code for Nextcloud apps following the established patterns in this workspace.

Input

Accept an optional argument:

• No argument → pick up the next pending frontend task from plan.json
• Task number → implement that specific task
• review → self-review your recent changes against frontend standards

Step 1: Load task context

1. Read plan.json from the active change
2. Find the target task (next pending, or specified)
3. Read ONLY the referenced spec section (spec_ref)
4. Read the acceptance_criteria
5. Read the files_likely_affected to understand scope

Step 2: Implement following Conduction frontend patterns

Tech Stack

• Vue 2 (with Vue 3 migration path via @vue/compat)
• Pinia for state management (NOT Vuex)
• Vue Router v3 (history mode)
• @nextcloud/vue component library (NcButton, NcAppSidebar, NcSelect, etc.)
• vue-material-design-icons for icons
• Webpack with @nextcloud/webpack-vue-config
• TypeScript supported (.ts files, tsconfig.json with strict mode)

Component Pattern — Script Setup

Use <script setup> for new components:

<template>
    <NcAppSidebar
        ref="sidebar"
        :name="t('openregister', 'Details')"
        :title="item?.name || ''"
        @close="navigationStore.setSidebarState('items', false)">

        <NcAppSidebarTab id="overview-tab" :name="t('openregister', 'Overview')" :order="1">
            <div v-if="loading" class="loadingContainer">
                <NcLoadingIcon :size="20" />
            </div>
            <div v-else>
                <!-- Content -->
            </div>
        </NcAppSidebarTab>
    </NcAppSidebar>
</template>

<script setup>
import { objectStore, navigationStore } from '../../store/store.js'
</script>

<script>
import { NcAppSidebar, NcAppSidebarTab, NcLoadingIcon } from '@nextcloud/vue'
import ChartBar from 'vue-material-design-icons/ChartBar.vue'

export default {
    name: 'ItemSidebar',
    components: {
        NcAppSidebar,
        NcAppSidebarTab,
        NcLoadingIcon,
        ChartBar,
    },
}
</script>

<style scoped>
.loadingContainer {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    padding: 2rem;
}
</style>

Rules:

• Store imports go in <script setup> block
• Component registration and imports go in regular <script> block with export default
• Always provide a name property on the component
• Use <style scoped> — never unscoped styles
• Indentation: tabs in <template>, spaces in <script> and <style>

Translations

Use the t() function from @nextcloud/l10n:

<template>
    <span>{{ t('openregister', 'Objects') }}</span>
    <NcButton :aria-label="t('openregister', 'Add new item')">
</template>

Rules:

• First argument is always the app name (e.g., 'openregister')
• All user-visible strings MUST use t()
• Never hardcode Dutch or English strings directly in templates

Pinia Store Pattern

// store/modules/object.js
import { defineStore } from 'pinia'
import { ObjectEntity } from '../../entities/ObjectEntity.js'

export const useObjectStore = defineStore('object', {
    state: () => ({
        objectItem: false,
        objectList: [],
        pagination: {
            total: 0,
            page: 1,
            pages: 0,
            limit: 20,
            offset: 0,
        },
        filters: {},
        loading: false,
    }),

    actions: {
        // Private helpers prefixed with underscore
        _buildObjectPath({ register, schema, objectId = '' }) {
            return `/index.php/apps/openregister/api/objects/${register}/${schema}${objectId ? '/' + objectId : ''}`
        },

        // Async actions use try/catch/finally
        async refreshObjectList({ register, schema, filters = {} }) {
            this.loading = true
            const endpoint = this._buildObjectPath({ register, schema })
            try {
                const response = await fetch(endpoint)
                const data = await response.json()
                this.objectList = data.results || []
                this.pagination = {
                    total: data.total || 0,
                    page: data.page || 1,
                    pages: data.pages || 0,
                    limit: data.limit || 20,
                    offset: data.offset || 0,
                }
                return { response, data }
            } catch (err) {
                console.error(err)
                throw err
            } finally {
                this.loading = false
            }
        },

        async saveObject(objectItem, { register, schema }) {
            const isNewObject = !objectItem['@self'].id
            const endpoint = this._buildObjectPath({
                register,
                schema,
                objectId: isNewObject ? '' : objectItem['@self'].id,
            })

            try {
                const response = await fetch(endpoint, {
                    method: isNewObject ? 'POST' : 'PUT',
                    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
                    body: JSON.stringify(objectItem),
                })
                const data = await response.json()
                this.setObjectItem(data)
                return { response, data }
            } catch (err) {
                console.error(err)
                throw err
            }
        },

        setObjectItem(objectItem) {
            this.objectItem = objectItem && new ObjectEntity(objectItem)
        },
    },
})

Central store export (store/store.js):

import pinia from '../pinia.js'
import { useObjectStore } from './modules/object.js'
import { useRegisterStore } from './modules/register.js'
import { useSchemaStore } from './modules/schema.js'

const objectStore = useObjectStore(pinia)
const registerStore = useRegisterStore(pinia)
const schemaStore = useSchemaStore(pinia)

export { objectStore, registerStore, schemaStore }

Rules:

• Use native fetch() — NOT axios
• Private helpers prefixed with _
• loading state managed manually with try/finally
• Wrap response data in entity classes: new ObjectEntity(data)
• Store actions return { response, data } tuple
• All stores exported from central store/store.js
• Entity state initializes as false (not null) when empty

Router Pattern

import Vue from 'vue'
import Router from 'vue-router'

Vue.use(Router)

const router = new Router({
    mode: 'history',
    base: '/index.php/apps/openregister/',
    routes: [
        { path: '/', component: Dashboard },
        { path: '/registers', component: RegistersIndex },
        { path: '/registers/:id', component: RegisterDetail },
        { path: '*', redirect: '/' },  // Catch-all
    ],
})

export default router

Rules:

• History mode (not hash)
• Base path includes /index.php/apps/{appname}/
• Catch-all * route redirects to /
• Named routes only for detail/specific views

Nextcloud Page Layout

Read the layout patterns reference at references/nextcloud-layout-patterns.md. It covers:

• Pattern 1: Navigation → Content → Sidebar (Files, Calendar, Deck style)
• Pattern 2: Navigation → List → Content (Mail, Contacts style)
• Implementation example with NcContent, NcAppNavigation, NcAppContent, NcAppSidebar
• Rules: pick ONE layout pattern per app, don't override responsive behavior

Nextcloud Vue Components

Always prefer @nextcloud/vue components:

Use	Component
Layout containers	NcContent, NcAppContent, NcAppNavigation, NcAppSidebar
Buttons	NcButton
Sidebar tabs	NcAppSidebarTab
Loading	NcLoadingIcon
Dropdowns	NcSelect
Modals	NcModal, NcDialog
Navigation items	NcAppNavigationItem, NcAppNavigationNew
Actions	NcActions, NcActionButton
Inputs	NcTextField, NcTextArea, NcCheckboxRadioSwitch
Empty states	NcEmptyContent

NEVER build custom versions of these standard components.

@conduction/nextcloud-vue Shared Library

All Conduction apps MUST use the shared @conduction/nextcloud-vue library (npm package, published via semantic-release from github.com/ConductionNL/nextcloud-vue). This provides:

Category	Components
Data display	CnDataTable, CnCellRenderer, CnObjectCard, CnCardGrid, CnStatsBlock, CnKpiGrid
Page layouts	CnListViewLayout, CnDetailViewLayout, CnIndexPage
Filtering	CnFilterBar, CnFacetSidebar, CnViewModeToggle
Status	CnStatusBadge, CnEmptyState, CnPagination
Admin settings	CnSettingsSection, CnVersionInfoCard, CnSettingsCard, CnConfigurationCard
Actions	CnRowActions, CnMassActionBar, CnMassDeleteDialog, CnMassCopyDialog
Store	useObjectStore (with plugins: auditTrailsPlugin, filesPlugin, relationsPlugin, lifecyclePlugin)
Composables	useListView, useDetailView, useSubResource

Admin settings pages MUST use CnSettingsSection (NOT raw NcSettingsSection) and start with a CnVersionInfoCard. See openspec/specs/nextcloud-app/spec.md for the full pattern.

User settings dialogs MUST use NcAppSettingsDialog (NOT NcDialog). See openspec/specs/nextcloud-app/spec.md.

Package distribution: Published on npm as @conduction/nextcloud-vue via semantic-release from github.com/ConductionNL/nextcloud-vue.

• Beta releases: Push/merge to beta branch → x.y.z-beta.N (prerelease on npm)
• Stable releases: Merge to main branch → x.y.z (latest on npm)
• Conventional commits required: feat: = minor bump, fix: = patch bump, BREAKING CHANGE: footer = major bump
• To update the library: Make changes in nextcloud-vue/, commit with conventional prefix, push to beta or merge to main
• To consume updates: Run npm update @conduction/nextcloud-vue in consuming apps, or bump the version range in package.json

package.json MUST include the npm dependency:

"@conduction/nextcloud-vue": "^0.1.0-beta.1"

Webpack config MUST include the conditional alias (uses local source in monorepo, npm package in CI) + dedup:

const fs = require('fs')
const localLib = path.resolve(__dirname, '../nextcloud-vue/src')
const useLocalLib = fs.existsSync(localLib)

// In resolve.alias:
...(useLocalLib ? { '@conduction/nextcloud-vue': localLib } : {}),
'vue$': path.resolve(__dirname, 'node_modules/vue'),
'pinia$': path.resolve(__dirname, 'node_modules/pinia'),
'@nextcloud/vue$': path.resolve(__dirname, 'node_modules/@nextcloud/vue'),

CSS & Styling Rules

• Use CSS variables from Nextcloud — never hardcode colors
• Support NL Design System tokens (nldesign app)
• <style scoped> on all components
• 2-space indentation in CSS/SCSS
• Use Nextcloud CSS variables: var(--color-main-text), var(--color-primary), etc.
• WCAG AA contrast ratios required

Path Aliases

TypeScript/webpack alias @ maps to src/:

import { objectStore } from '@/store/store.js'
import ObjectEntity from '@/entities/ObjectEntity.js'

Use relative imports for same-directory or nearby files, @/ for cross-directory.

Step 3: Run quality checks

After implementing, run the frontend quality pipeline:

# Lint check
cd {app-dir} && npm run lint

# Auto-fix
cd {app-dir} && npm run lint-fix

# Stylelint
cd {app-dir} && npm run stylelint

# Unit tests
cd {app-dir} && npm run test

# Build (verify no webpack errors)
cd {app-dir} && npm run build

Fix all lint errors and warnings before marking complete.

Step 4: Verify & update progress

1. Verify acceptance criteria are met
2. Run npm run build — must succeed without errors
3. Test in browser if possible (use Playwright MCP browser tools)
4. Update plan.json: set task status to completed
5. Update tasks.md: check off completed checkboxes
6. Close the GitHub issue:

   gh issue close <number> --repo <repo> --comment "Completed: <summary>"
   

Dutch Government Accessibility & Design Standards

• WCAG 2.1 AA — legally required since 2018 (Besluit digitale toegankelijkheid overheid). Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust criteria with Vue implementation examples
• NL Design System — CSS token compatibility for municipality theming (Rijkshuisstijl, Utrecht, Amsterdam). Never hardcode colors — use CSS custom properties
• Multi-Language Support — all strings via t(), RTL support, Intl.DateTimeFormat/Intl.NumberFormat
