MIRAGE UI Backend Integration Guide

Overview

The UI has been successfully integrated with the backend API. All static data has been replaced with real API calls.

What Was Changed

1. API Client Created

File: ui/src/lib/api.ts

A comprehensive API client with typed endpoints for all backend services:

  • Files API: Upload, list, delete, get stats
  • Document API: Process files, get status
  • Graph API: Visualize, search, manage graph
  • Database API: Health checks, stats, management
  • Chat API: Send messages, detailed queries

2. Pages Updated

DataSourcesPage (ui/src/pages/DataSourcesPage.tsx)

Before: Hardcoded 5 sample files After:

  • ✅ Fetches real files from /files/files API
  • ✅ Displays loading state while fetching
  • ✅ Delete functionality integrated with backend
  • ✅ Refreshes file list after upload
  • ✅ Shows toast notifications for errors/success

Key Changes:

// Now fetches from backend on mount
useEffect(() => {
  loadFiles();
}, []);

const loadFiles = async () => {
  const response = await filesApi.list({ limit: 100 });
  setDataSources(response.files.map(file => ({
    id: file.file_id,
    title: file.filename,
    type: "file",
    fileType: file.file_type,
    status: "completed",
    dateAdded: new Date(file.uploaded_at).toLocaleDateString(),
  })));
};

GraphPage (ui/src/pages/GraphPage.tsx)

Before: Hardcoded 10 sample nodes and edges After:

  • ✅ Fetches real graph from /graph/visualize/full API
  • ✅ Converts backend format to vis-network format
  • ✅ Displays loading state
  • ✅ Shows empty state when no graph data
  • ✅ Includes confidence scores in node titles

Key Changes:

const loadGraph = async () => {
  const response = await graphApi.visualizeFull(100);

  // Convert API nodes to vis-network format
  const nodes = response.nodes.map((node, idx) => ({
    id: idx + 1,
    label: node.label || node.id,
    group: node.type.toLowerCase(),
    title: `${node.type}: ${node.label}`,
    confidence: node.confidence,
  }));

  setGraphData({ nodes, edges });
};

Dashboard (ui/src/pages/Dashboard.tsx)

Before: Hardcoded stats, processing queue, health status After:

  • ✅ Fetches real stats from /db/stats and /files/files/stats
  • ✅ Shows real database health from /db/health
  • ✅ Displays actual entity, relationship, and vector counts
  • ✅ Color-coded health indicators (green/red)
  • ✅ Loading states for all data

Key Changes:

const loadDashboardData = async () => {
  const [dbStats, fileStats] = await Promise.all([
    dbApi.stats(),
    filesApi.stats(),
  ]);

  setStats([
    { label: "Total Files", value: fileStats.total_files.toString(), ... },
    { label: "Entities", value: dbStats.graph.total_nodes?.toString() || "0", ... },
    { label: "Relationships", value: dbStats.graph.total_edges?.toString() || "0", ... },
    { label: "Vector Count", value: dbStats.vector.vectors_count?.toString() || "0", ... },
  ]);
};

Configuration

Environment Variables

  1. Create .env.local in the ui/ directory:
cd ui
cp .env.example .env.local
  1. Edit .env.local:
VITE_API_URL=http://localhost:8000

For production, update to your deployed backend URL.

API Base URL

The API client (api.ts:5) uses:

const API_BASE_URL = import.meta.env.VITE_API_URL || 'http://localhost:8000';

This allows you to:

  • Use localhost:8000 for development (default)
  • Override via environment variable for different environments
  • Deploy UI and API separately

Running the Application

1. Start the Backend

cd /home/aub/boo/MIRAGE/mirage
python3 main.py

The backend will be available at http://localhost:8000

2. Start the Frontend

cd /home/aub/boo/MIRAGE/ui
npm run dev

The UI will be available at http://localhost:5173 (or another port if 5173 is busy)

3. Access the Application

Open your browser and navigate to the UI URL. The UI will automatically connect to the backend API.

Testing the Integration

1. Dashboard Page

  • URL: http://localhost:5173/
  • What to check:
    • Stats cards show real numbers from your database
    • System Health section shows database statuses
    • Loading spinners appear briefly while fetching data

2. Data Sources Page

  • URL: http://localhost:5173/data-sources
  • What to check:
    • Shows actual files you've uploaded
    • "Add Source" → "Files" tab allows file upload
    • Delete button removes files from backend
    • File count updates after operations

3. Graph Page

  • URL: http://localhost:5173/graph
  • What to check:
    • Shows actual graph if you've processed documents
    • Shows "No graph data available" if graph is empty
    • Node colors match entity types
    • Clicking nodes shows details

4. Error Handling

  • Stop the backend and refresh any page
  • What to check:
    • Toast notifications appear with error messages
    • Loading states handle gracefully
    • UI doesn't crash

API Endpoints Used

UI Page API Endpoints Purpose
Dashboard GET /db/stats
GET /db/health
GET /files/files/stats		 Get database statistics, health status, and file counts
Data Sources GET /files/files
POST /files/files/upload
DELETE /files/files/{id}		 List, upload, and delete files
Graph GET /graph/visualize/full?limit=100 Get graph visualization data
Chat (future) POST /chat/message
POST /chat/query-detailed		 Send chat messages

What's Still Needed

1. Database Management Page (Not Yet Implemented)

You mentioned wanting a database management tab where users can:

  • ✅ Backend Ready: All endpoints exist (/db/graph/clear, /db/graph/rebuild, etc.)
  • ❌ UI Not Created: Need to create a new page with UI controls

Suggested Implementation:

// Create: ui/src/pages/DatabaseManagement.tsx
// Features:
// - Clear Graph button (calls dbApi.graph.clear())
// - Rebuild Graph button (calls dbApi.graph.rebuild())
// - List documents in graph (calls graphApi.documents())
// - Delete document from graph (calls graphApi.deleteDocument(id))
// - Clear Vector DB button (calls dbApi.vector.clear())

2. File Upload Tab Integration

The file upload modal opens, but the upload might need to:

  • Call the backend's /document/process-with-refrag endpoint
  • Show processing progress
  • Refresh the file list and graph after processing

3. Chat Page Integration

Currently shows static UI. Needs:

  • Connect to /chat/message endpoint
  • Display real conversation history
  • Show graph visualization from query results
  • Display compression comparison data

Troubleshooting

CORS Errors

If you see CORS errors in the browser console:

  1. Check backend CORS settings in mirage/src/config.py:
allowed_origins = ["http://localhost:5173", "http://localhost:3000"]
  1. Or update in mirage/main.py:
app.add_middleware(
    CORSMiddleware,
    allow_origins=["http://localhost:5173"],  # Add your UI URL
    allow_credentials=True,
    allow_methods=["*"],
    allow_headers=["*"],
)

Network Errors

If API calls fail with "Network Error":

  1. Verify backend is running: curl http://localhost:8000/
  2. Check API URL: Ensure .env.local has correct VITE_API_URL
  3. Check browser console: Look for detailed error messages

Empty Data

If pages show "no data":

  1. Dashboard: Upload and process files first
  2. Graph Page: Process documents to build the graph
  3. Data Sources: Upload files via the "Add Source" button

Next Steps

Immediate:

  1. ✅ Test the integrated UI with a running backend
  2. ⏳ Create Database Management page
  3. ⏳ Integrate Chat page with backend
  4. ⏳ Add processing progress indicators

Future Enhancements:

  • WebSocket support for real-time updates
  • Pagination for large file lists
  • Advanced graph filtering and search
  • Export/import functionality
  • User authentication
