You stripped away the exact parts of `evaleval` that don't scale to a multi-tenant web application (string-splicing `eval` and in-memory nonce OCAP tracking) and kept the parts that make development lightning fast (embedded declarative payloads, single endpoint routing, and Javascript AST responses). - -You are entirely right about the **AST substitution in Rust**. Walking a `serde_json::Value` tree to find `{"$form": "field_name"}` and swapping the node for a String isn't a hack—in Rust, it’s just a completely standard recursive enum visitor. - -Let’s lock in this exact architecture. It is cohesive, secure, and incredibly ergonomic. - -Here is what the code actually looks like to execute this vision. - ---- - -### 1. The Safe AST Substitution - -This is the exact function that runs in the Web handler before giving the payload to the RPC engine. Because it operates on the JSON AST *before* deserialization, it's 100% immune to injection. - -```rust -use serde_json::Value; -use std::collections::HashMap; - -/// Recursively walk the JSON AST and replace {"$form": "key"} with the actual form string. -fn substitute_form_vars(val: &mut Value, form_data: &HashMap) { - match val { - Value::Object(map) => { - // Is this the magic placeholder node? {"$form": "input_name"} - if map.len() == 1 && map.contains_key("$form") { - if let Some(field_name) = map.get("$form").and_then(|v| v.as_str()) { - let submitted_text = form_data.get(field_name).map(|s| s.as_str()).unwrap_or(""); - *val = Value::String(submitted_text.to_string()); - return; - } - } - // Otherwise, keep walking the object - for v in map.values_mut() { - substitute_form_vars(v, form_data); - } - } - Value::Array(arr) => { - // Walk arrays - for v in arr.iter_mut() { - substitute_form_vars(v, form_data); - } - } - _ => {} // Primitives stay as is - } -} -``` -**Why this rules:** You can write a single, hidden HTML input: -`` -When the form submits, the backend safely turns it into standard RPC input. - ---- - -### 2. The Unified Core RPC Layer - -You keep exactly one execution layer that strictly enforces your domain constraints (ACLs). Whether the command originated from a CLI script or a web form, they all hit this choke point: - -```rust -// Core execute function, decoupled from HTTP -pub async fn execute_rpc( - state: &ReducerState, - principal: &Principal, - command: RpcCommand -) -> Result { - match command { - RpcCommand::Ingest { space, text } => { - // ACLs are checked RIGHT HERE, universally. - if !state.user_has_cap(&space, principal, ThreadCapability::Post) { - return Err(ApiError::Forbidden("No post access in this space".to_string())); - } - // Do the write, apply events... - Ok(RpcResponse::IngestOk { ... }) - } - // ... - } -} -``` - ---- - -### 3. The `DomPatch` Builder Pattern - -You prefer the Builder pattern over a macro for the response mapping. I agree—builders are far easier for your IDE to autocomplete, and easier to compose dynamically (e.g., iterating over a list of items to append). - -```rust -pub struct DomPatch { - js: String, -} - -impl DomPatch { - pub fn new() -> Self { - Self { js: String::new() } - } - - /// Morphs an element using Idiomorph - pub fn morph(mut self, selector: &str, html: &str) -> Self { - let safe_html = serde_json::to_string(html).expect("string escaping failed"); - self.js.push_str(&format!( - "Idiomorph.morph(document.querySelector('{}'), {}, {{morphStyle: 'innerHTML'}});\n", - selector, safe_html - )); - self - } - - /// Appends raw HTML to an element - pub fn append(mut self, selector: &str, html: &str) -> Self { - let safe_html = serde_json::to_string(html).unwrap(); - self.js.push_str(&format!( - "document.querySelector('{}')?.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend', {});\n", - selector, safe_html - )); - self - } - - /// Executes raw javascript - pub fn eval(mut self, code: &str) -> Self { - self.js.push_str(code); - self.js.push('\n'); - self - } - - /// Consumes the builder into an HTTP Response with the right content-type - pub fn into_response(self) -> impl axum::response::IntoResponse { - ( - axum::http::StatusCode::OK, - [(axum::http::header::CONTENT_TYPE, "text/javascript")], - self.js - ) - } -} -``` - ---- - -### 4. The Single Web Handler (`POST /ui/action`) - -With the pipeline defined, you only ever have to write **one** `POST` handler for the entire Web UI. - -```rust -pub async fn handle_web_action( - State(state): State, - headers: HeaderMap, - Form(form_data): Form>, // Captures everything dynamically -) -> impl IntoResponse { - // 1. Authenticate using Bearer / Cookie exactly like the CLI - let principal = match extract_web_session(&headers, &state) { - Ok(p) => p, - Err(_) => return DomPatch::new().eval("window.location = '/auth/login';").into_response(), - }; - - // 2. Decode the Base64 JSON - let b64 = form_data.get("__rpc__").expect("Missing RPC payload in form"); - let decoded = base64::decode(b64).expect("Bad b64"); - let mut json_ast: Value = serde_json::from_slice(&decoded).expect("Bad JSON"); - - // 3. Do AST Substitution! - substitute_form_vars(&mut json_ast, &form_data); - - // 4. Parse it strongly into the RPC enum - let command: RpcCommand = serde_json::from_value(json_ast).expect("Invalid RpcCommand"); - - // 5. Pass it to the core execute function (authz + mutation happens here) - match execute_rpc(&state.reduced.read().await, &principal, command).await { - Ok(RpcResponse::IngestOk { new_ranks }) => { - // Translate the RpcResponse to UI JS snippets - DomPatch::new() - .morph("#rank-container", &render_ranking(&new_ranks)) - .eval("document.getElementById('ingest-form').reset();") - .into_response() - } - Ok(_) => DomPatch::new().eval("console.log('Action complete');").into_response(), - Err(e) => { - // Reconcile errors - DomPatch::new() - .morph("#error-banner", &format!("
{}
", e.message())) - .into_response() - } - } -} -``` - -### The Verdict on the Grand Architecture - -By combining: -1. The **Domain-Driven Asymmetry** (Spaces contain Gardens & Threads) -2. The **Core RPC Logic** (1 executor, `Vec`, strict ACL checks) -3. The **Single Web Form Controller** (b64 embedded, `substitute_form_vars()`) -4. The **Javascript DomPatch Builder** - -You have constructed an application architecture that gives you absolute security and data integrity for your CLI AI Agents, while keeping the absolute peak hackability, form simplicity, and lightning-fast JS UI diffing of your `evaleval` Python framework. - -I'm sold. It is clean, it is uniquely fitted to the mechanics of Rust (`serde`, `enums`), and it solves the URL routing fatigue problem beautifully. This is the exact way to build `slug.social` v2.
