What the indicators mean:

2. Create a Module Visually

Click: "New Module" button

Follow the wizard:

  1. Info: Name it, describe it, choose category
  2. Pages: Select pages to include
  3. Widgets: Select widgets to include
  4. Flows: Select Singularity flows
  5. Embeddables ⭐ NEW!
    • Click "+ Add Embeddable"
    • Use visual builder to define reusable UI component
    • Set inputs (parameters component accepts)
    • Set outputs (events component emits)
    • Choose source (page, widget, flow, or custom)
    • Save → appears in list
  6. Actions ⭐ NEW!
    • Click "+ Add Action"
    • Use visual builder to define public action
    • Set parameters
    • Choose implementation (Flow, API, Local, Composite)
    • Save → appears in list
  7. Config: Set base route, permissions
  8. Preview: See generated manifest
  9. Export: Register module

Time: 10-15 minutes to create a complete module!

3. Create Variants of Hardcoded Modules

Use Case: You love the user-management module but want custom branding

How:

  1. Find "User Management" module (blue badge)
  2. Click "⚙️ Variant" button
  3. Name it "My Custom User Mgmt"
  4. Module builder opens with:
    • All embeddables from original (editable!)
    • All actions from original (editable!)
    • Your custom name/description
  5. Modify as needed
  6. Export as new module

Result: You have a customized version without touching code!

4. Use Module Components in Singularity

Navigate to: Singularity visual editor

Open: Widget library/palette

You'll see:

┌────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Widget Library          [Search 🔍]│
├────────────────────────────────────┤
│ [All] [🧩 From Modules (8)] [Basic]│
│                                     │
│ 🧩 FROM MODULES:                    │
│ ├─ 👥 User List (user-management)  │
│ ├─ 👤 User Card (user-management)  │
│ ├─ 🛍️ Product Card (ecommerce)     │

What's Working


💡 Pro Tips

Tip 1: Start with Hardcoded Variants

Don't build from scratch. Clone a hardcoded module and customize:

  1. Click "Variant" on user-management or ecommerce
  2. Modify embeddables/actions
  3. Export as your custom module

Tip 2: Reuse Everything

Module embeddables are reusable everywhere:

Tip 3: Flows as Actions

Turn any Singularity flow into a module action:

  1. Create flow in Singularity
  2. In module builder → Actions tab
  3. Add action with implementation: Flow
  4. Select your flow
  5. Now any module can call it!

🚀 Next Steps

Immediate (Today)

  1. ✅ Test modularity dashboard
  2. ✅ Test module builder with embeddables
  3. ✅ Test module builder with actions
  4. ✅ Test widget palette shows module widgets

Soon (Next Session)

  1. Build module variant creator UI
  2. Build module detail modal
  3. Test complete e-commerce flow

Future (Weeks 2-4)

  1. Smart AI-assisted module wizard
  2. Backend API for module catalog
  3. Module marketplace
  4. Publishing workflow

If Something Doesn't Work

  1. Check Browser Console: Look for initialization logs

    • Should see: ✅ Module bootstrap completed
    • Should see: ✅ [ModuleWidgetBridge] Synced X module embeddables
  2. Verify Modules Loaded:

    // In browser console
    window.__widgetRegistryService__.widgets()
    // Should show widgets including module widgets
    
  3. Check Session Docs:
