+# Frontend Migration Plan: React/Next.js to HTMX + Alpine.js
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+Based on my analysis, this project already has a **fully functional HTMX + Alpine.js Django backend** with comprehensive templates. The task is to migrate the separate Next.js React frontend (`frontend/` directory) to integrate seamlessly with the existing Django HTMX + Alpine.js architecture.
+
+## Current State Analysis
+
+### ✅ Django Backend (Already Complete)
+- **HTMX Integration**: Already implemented with proper headers and partial templates
+- **Alpine.js Components**: Extensive use of Alpine.js for interactivity
+- **Template Structure**: Comprehensive template hierarchy with partials
+- **Authentication**: Complete auth system with modals and forms
+- **Styling**: Tailwind CSS with dark mode support
+- **Components**: Reusable components for cards, pagination, forms, etc.
+
+### 🔄 React Frontend (To Be Migrated)
+- **Next.js App Router**: Modern React application structure
+- **Component Library**: Extensive UI components using shadcn/ui
+- **Authentication**: React-based auth hooks and providers
+- **Theme Management**: React theme provider system
+- **API Integration**: TypeScript API clients for Django backend
+
+## Migration Strategy
+
+### Phase 1: Template Enhancement (Extend Django Templates)
+
+Instead of replacing the existing Django templates, we'll enhance them to match the React frontend's design and functionality.
+
+#### 1.1 Header Component Migration
+**Current Django**: Basic header with navigation
+**React Frontend**: Advanced header with browse menu, search, theme toggle, user dropdown
+
+**Action**: Enhance `backend/templates/base/base.html` header section
+
+#### 1.2 Component Library Integration
+**Current Django**: Basic components
+**React Frontend**: Rich component library (buttons, cards, modals, etc.)
+
+**Action**: Create Django template components matching shadcn/ui design system
+
+#### 1.3 Advanced Interactivity
+**Current Django**: Basic Alpine.js usage
+**React Frontend**: Complex state management and interactions
+
+**Action**: Enhance Alpine.js components with advanced patterns
+
+### Phase 2: Django View Enhancements
+
+#### 2.1 API Response Optimization
+- Enhance existing Django views to support both full page and HTMX partial responses
+- Implement proper JSON responses for Alpine.js components
+- Add advanced filtering and search capabilities
+
+#### 2.2 Authentication Flow
+- Enhance existing Django auth to match React frontend UX
+- Implement modal-based login/signup (already partially done)
+- Add proper error handling and validation
+
+### Phase 3: Frontend Asset Migration
+
+#### 3.1 Static Assets
+- Migrate React component styles to Django static files
+- Enhance Tailwind configuration
+- Add missing JavaScript utilities
+
+#### 3.2 Alpine.js Store Management
+- Implement global state management using Alpine.store()
+- Create reusable Alpine.js components using Alpine.data()
+- Add proper event handling and communication
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Step 1: Analyze Component Gaps
+Compare React components with Django templates to identify missing functionality:
+
+1. **Browse Menu**: React has sophisticated browse dropdown
+2. **Search Functionality**: React has advanced search with autocomplete
+3. **Theme Toggle**: React has system/light/dark theme support
+4. **User Management**: React has comprehensive user profile management
+5. **Modal System**: React has advanced modal components
+6. **Form Handling**: React has sophisticated form validation
+
+### Step 2: Enhance Django Templates
+
+#### Base Template Enhancements
+```html
+<!-- Enhanced header with browse menu -->
+<div class="browse-menu" x-data="browseMenu()">
+  <!-- Implement React-style browse menu -->
+</div>
+
+<!-- Enhanced search with autocomplete -->
+<div class="search-container" x-data="searchComponent()">
+  <!-- Implement React-style search -->
+</div>
+```
+
+#### Alpine.js Component Library
+```javascript
+// Global Alpine.js components
+Alpine.data('browseMenu', () => ({
+  open: false,
+  toggle() { this.open = !this.open }
+}))
+
+Alpine.data('searchComponent', () => ({
+  query: '',
+  results: [],
+  async search() {
+    // Implement search logic
+  }
+}))
+```
+
+### Step 3: Django View Enhancements
+
+#### Enhanced Views for HTMX
+```python
+def enhanced_park_list(request):
+    if request.headers.get('HX-Request'):
+        # Return partial template for HTMX
+        return render(request, 'parks/partials/park_list.html', context)
+    # Return full page
+    return render(request, 'parks/park_list.html', context)
+```
+
+### Step 4: Component Migration Priority
+
+1. **Header Component** (High Priority)
+   - Browse menu with categories
+   - Advanced search with autocomplete
+   - User dropdown with profile management
+   - Theme toggle with system preference
+
+2. **Navigation Components** (High Priority)
+   - Mobile menu with slide-out
+   - Breadcrumb navigation
+   - Tab navigation
+
+3. **Form Components** (Medium Priority)
+   - Advanced form validation
+   - File upload components
+   - Multi-step forms
+
+4. **Data Display Components** (Medium Priority)
+   - Advanced card layouts
+   - Data tables with sorting/filtering
+   - Pagination components
+
+5. **Modal and Dialog Components** (Low Priority)
+   - Confirmation dialogs
+   - Image galleries
+   - Settings panels
+
+## Technical Implementation Details
+
+### HTMX Patterns to Implement
+
+1. **Lazy Loading**
+```html
+<div hx-get="/api/parks/" hx-trigger="intersect" hx-swap="innerHTML">
+  Loading parks...
+</div>
+```
+
+2. **Infinite Scroll**
+```html
+<div hx-get="/api/parks/?page=2" hx-trigger="revealed" hx-swap="beforeend">
+  Load more...
+</div>
+```
+
+3. **Live Search**
+```html
+<input hx-get="/api/search/" hx-trigger="input changed delay:300ms" 
+       hx-target="#search-results">
+```
+
+### Alpine.js Patterns to Implement
+
+1. **Global State Management**
+```javascript
+Alpine.store('app', {
+  user: null,
+  theme: 'system',
+  searchQuery: ''
+})
+```
+
+2. **Reusable Components**
+```javascript
+Alpine.data('modal', () => ({
+  open: false,
+  show() { this.open = true },
+  hide() { this.open = false }
+}))
+```
+

+
+## Success Metrics
+
+1. **Functionality Parity**: All React frontend features work in Django templates
+2. **Design Consistency**: Visual design matches React frontend exactly
+3. **Performance**: Page load times improved due to server-side rendering
+4. **User Experience**: Smooth interactions with HTMX and Alpine.js
+5. **Maintainability**: Clean, reusable template components
+
+## Timeline Estimate
+
+- **Phase 1**: Template Enhancement (3-4 days)
+- **Phase 2**: Django View Enhancements (2-3 days)
+- **Phase 3**: Frontend Asset Migration (2-3 days)
+- **Testing & Refinement**: 2-3 days
+
+**Total Estimated Time**: 9-13 days
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Immediate**: Start with header component migration
+2. **Priority**: Focus on high-impact components first
+3. **Testing**: Implement comprehensive testing for each migrated component
+4. **Documentation**: Update all documentation to reflect new architecture
+
+This migration will result in a unified, server-rendered application with the rich interactivity of the React frontend but the performance and simplicity of HTMX + Alpine.js.

+
+### Technology Stack Decisions
+
+#### Frontend Framework: Nuxt 3
+**Decision:** Use Nuxt 3 with Vue 3 Composition API  
+**Rationale:**
+- **Server-Side Rendering:** Better SEO and initial load performance
+- **File-based Routing:** Intuitive page organization
+- **Auto-imports:** Reduced boilerplate code
+- **Built-in Optimization:** Image optimization, code splitting, etc.
+- **TypeScript Support:** First-class TypeScript integration
+- **Ecosystem:** Rich ecosystem with modules and plugins
+
+**Alternatives Considered:**
+- **Next.js:** Rejected due to React requirement
+- **SvelteKit:** Rejected due to smaller ecosystem
+- **Vite + Vue:** Rejected due to lack of SSR out-of-the-box
+
+#### State Management: Pinia
+**Decision:** Use Pinia for global state management  
+**Rationale:**
+- **Vue 3 Native:** Built specifically for Vue 3
+- **TypeScript Support:** Excellent TypeScript integration
+- **DevTools:** Great debugging experience
+- **Modular:** Easy to organize stores by feature
+- **Performance:** Optimized for Vue 3 reactivity
+
+**Alternatives Considered:**
+- **Vuex:** Rejected due to Vue 3 compatibility issues
+- **Composables Only:** Rejected for complex state management needs
+
+#### Component Library: TBD (User Choice Required)
+**Status:** ⏳ PENDING USER DECISION  
+**Options Analyzed:**
+
+##### Option 1: Nuxt UI (Recommended)
+```typescript
+// Installation
+npm install @nuxt/ui
+
+// Configuration
+export default defineNuxtConfig({
+  modules: ['@nuxt/ui'],
+  ui: {
+    global: true,
+    icons: ['heroicons']
+  }
+})
+```
+
+**Pros:**
+- Built specifically for Nuxt 3
+- Tailwind CSS integration
+- Headless UI foundation (accessibility)
+- TypeScript support
+- Modern design system
+- Tree-shakable
+
+**Cons:**
+- Newer library (less mature)
+- Smaller component set
+- Limited complex components
+
+##### Option 2: Vuetify
+```typescript
+// Installation
+npm install vuetify @mdi/font
+
+// Configuration
+import { createVuetify } from 'vuetify'
+export default defineNuxtPlugin(() => {
+  const vuetify = createVuetify({
+    theme: { defaultTheme: 'light' }
+  })
+  return { provide: { vuetify } }
+})
+```
+
+**Pros:**
+- Mature, battle-tested
+- Comprehensive component set
+- Material Design system
+- Strong community

+
+// Configuration
+import PrimeVue from 'primevue/config'
+export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
+  nuxtApp.vueApp.use(PrimeVue)
+})
+```
+
+**Pros:**
+- Enterprise-focused
+- Comprehensive components
+- Good TypeScript support
+- Professional themes
+- Accessibility features
+
+**Cons:**

+- **Secure:** Short-lived access tokens with refresh mechanism
+- **Standard:** Industry standard for API authentication
+
+**Implementation Strategy:**
+```typescript
+// composables/useAuth.ts
+export const useAuth = () => {
+  const accessToken = useCookie('access_token', {
+    httpOnly: true,
+    secure: true,
+    sameSite: 'strict',
+    maxAge: 15 * 60 // 15 minutes
+  })
+  
+  const refreshToken = useCookie('refresh_token', {
+    httpOnly: true,
+    secure: true,
+    sameSite: 'strict',
+    maxAge: 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 // 7 days
+  })
+  
+  const refreshAccessToken = async () => {
+    // Auto-refresh logic
+  }
+  
+  return {
+    login, logout, refreshAccessToken,
+    isAuthenticated: computed(() => !!accessToken.value)
+  }
+}
+```

+
+### Development Environment Decisions
+
+#### Package Manager: npm
+**Decision:** Use npm for package management  
+**Rationale:**
+- **Consistency:** Matches existing project setup
+- **Reliability:** Stable and well-supported
+- **Lock File:** package-lock.json for reproducible builds
+- **CI/CD:** Easy integration with deployment pipelines
+
+#### Development Server Configuration
+```typescript
+// nuxt.config.ts
+export default defineNuxtConfig({
+  devtools: { enabled: true },
+  
+  // Development server configuration
+  devServer: {
+    port: 3000,
+    host: '0.0.0.0'
+  },
+  
+  // Proxy API calls to Django backend
+  nitro: {
+    devProxy: {
+      '/api': {
+        target: 'http://localhost:8000',
+        changeOrigin: true
+      }
+    }
+  },
+  
+  // Runtime configuration
+  runtimeConfig: {
+    public: {
+      apiBase: process.env.NUXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE || 'http://localhost:8000/api/v1'
+    }
+  }
+})
+```
+
+#### Environment Variables
+```bash
+# .env
+NUXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE=http://localhost:8000/api/v1
+NUXT_SECRET_JWT_SECRET=your-jwt-secret
+NUXT_PUBLIC_APP_NAME=ThrillWiki
+NUXT_PUBLIC_APP_VERSION=1.0.0
+```
+
+### Performance Optimization Decisions
+
+#### Code Splitting Strategy
+**Decision:** Implement route-based and component-based code splitting  
+**Implementation:**
+```typescript
+// Lazy load heavy components
+const PhotoGallery = defineAsyncComponent(() => import('~/components/PhotoGallery.vue'))
+
+// Route-based splitting (automatic with Nuxt)
+// pages/admin/ - Admin bundle
+// pages/parks/ - Parks bundle
+// pages/rides/ - Rides bundle
+```
+
+#### Image Optimization
+**Decision:** Use Nuxt Image module for automatic optimization  
+**Configuration:**
+```typescript
+// nuxt.config.ts
+export default defineNuxtConfig({
+  modules: ['@nuxt/image'],
+  image: {
+    provider: 'ipx',
+    quality: 80,
+    format: ['webp', 'avif', 'jpg'],
+    screens: {
+      xs: 320,
+      sm: 640,
+      md: 768,
+      lg: 1024,
+      xl: 1280
+    }
+  }
+})
+```
+
+#### Caching Strategy
+**Decision:** Multi-layer caching approach  
+**Layers:**
+1. **Browser Cache:** Static assets with long cache times
+2. **API Cache:** Response caching with TTL
+3. **Component Cache:** Expensive component computations
+4. **Route Cache:** Static route pre-generation
+
+```typescript
+// API caching example
+export const useParks = () => {
+  const { data: parks } = useLazyFetch('/api/v1/parks/', {
+    key: 'parks-list',
+    server: true,
+    default: () => [],
+    transform: (data: any) => data.results || data
+  })
+  
+  return { parks }
+}
+```
+
+### Security Decisions
+
+#### Token Storage
+**Decision:** Use HTTP-only cookies for token storage  
+**Rationale:**
+- **XSS Protection:** Tokens not accessible via JavaScript
+- **CSRF Protection:** SameSite cookie attribute
+- **Automatic Handling:** Browser handles cookie management
+
+#### Input Validation
+**Decision:** Client-side validation with server-side verification  
+**Implementation:**
+```typescript
+// utils/validation.ts
+import { z } from 'zod'
+
+export const parkSchema = z.object({
+  name: z.string().min(1).max(100),
+  location: z.string().min(1),
+  operator: z.string().optional(),
+  status: z.enum(['OPERATING', 'CLOSED', 'UNDER_CONSTRUCTION'])
+})
+
+export type ParkInput = z.infer<typeof parkSchema>
+```
+
+#### CORS Configuration
+**Decision:** Strict CORS policy for production  
+**Django Configuration:**
+```python
+# backend/config/settings/production.py
+CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS = [
+    "https://thrillwiki.com",
+    "https://www.thrillwiki.com"
+]
+
+CORS_ALLOW_CREDENTIALS = True
+CORS_ALLOW_ALL_ORIGINS = False  # Never true in production
+```
+
+### Testing Strategy Decisions
+
+#### Testing Framework: Vitest
+**Decision:** Use Vitest for unit and component testing  
+**Rationale:**
+- **Vite Integration:** Fast test execution
+- **Vue Support:** Excellent Vue component testing
+- **TypeScript:** Native TypeScript support
+- **Jest Compatible:** Familiar API for developers
+
+#### E2E Testing: Playwright
+**Decision:** Use Playwright for end-to-end testing  
+**Rationale:**
+- **Cross-browser:** Chrome, Firefox, Safari support
+- **Mobile Testing:** Mobile browser simulation
+- **Reliable:** Stable test execution
+- **Modern:** Built for modern web applications
+
+#### Testing Configuration
+```typescript
+// vitest.config.ts
+import { defineConfig } from 'vitest/config'
+import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue'
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  plugins: [vue()],
+  test: {
+    environment: 'happy-dom',
+    coverage: {
+      reporter: ['text', 'json', 'html'],
+      threshold: {
+        global: {
+          branches: 80,
+          functions: 80,
+          lines: 80,
+          statements: 80
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+})
+```
+
+### Deployment Decisions
+
+#### Build Strategy
+**Decision:** Hybrid rendering with static generation for public pages  
+**Configuration:**
+```typescript
+// nuxt.config.ts
+export default defineNuxtConfig({
+  nitro: {
+    prerender: {
+      routes: [
+        '/',
+        '/parks',
+        '/rides',
+        '/about',
+        '/privacy',
+        '/terms'
+      ]
+    }
+  },
+  
+  // Route rules for different rendering strategies
+  routeRules: {
+    '/': { prerender: true },
+    '/parks': { prerender: true },
+    '/rides': { prerender: true },
+    '/admin/**': { ssr: false }, // SPA mode for admin
+    '/auth/**': { ssr: false }   // SPA mode for auth
+  }
+})
+```
+
+#### Docker Configuration
+**Decision:** Multi-stage Docker build for production  
+**Dockerfile:**
+```dockerfile
+# Build stage
+FROM node:18-alpine AS builder
+WORKDIR /app
+COPY package*.json ./
+RUN npm ci --only=production
+COPY . .
+RUN npm run build
+
+# Production stage
+FROM node:18-alpine AS production
+WORKDIR /app
+COPY --from=builder /app/.output ./
+EXPOSE 3000
+CMD ["node", "server/index.mjs"]
+```
+
+### Context7 Integration Decisions
+
+#### Documentation Strategy
+**Decision:** Integrate Context7 for automatic documentation generation  
+**Implementation:**
+```typescript
+// plugins/context7.client.ts
+export default defineNuxtPlugin(() => {
+  if (process.dev) {
+    // Initialize Context7 connection
+    const context7 = new Context7Client({
+      endpoint: 'http://localhost:8080',
+      project: 'thrillwiki-frontend'
+    })
+    
+    // Auto-document API calls
+    context7.trackApiCalls()
+    
+    // Document component usage
+    context7.trackComponentUsage()
+  }
+})
+```
+
+#### Knowledge Preservation
