# Project Reconstruction Plan (PRP) for AI StyleGallery This document outlines the architecture, functionality, and implementation details of the "AI StyleGallery" web application. It is intended to serve as a comprehensive guide for another AI agent or LLM to understand and potentially reconstruct a similar system. ## 1. Application Overview **Primary Goal:** AI StyleGallery is a web application designed to allow users to transform their uploaded images by applying various AI-generated artistic styles. Users can manage their image gallery, apply styles via external AI services, and save or discard the results. **Core Functionality:** - **Image Upload:** Users can upload their own images to the gallery. - **Style Application:** Users can select an image and choose from a predefined set of AI styles to apply. - **AI Processing Integration:** The application interacts with external AI web services (e.g., ComfyUI, RunwareAI) to perform image transformations. - **Gallery Management:** Users can view their original and styled images, and decide to keep (make permanent) or discard (delete) styled images. - **Admin Panel:** An administrative interface for managing AI models, API providers, styles, users, and roles. ## 2.

UI Structure (Frontend / Backend) ### 2.1. Frontend (Vue.js 3 with Inertia.js) The frontend is a Single Page Application (SPA) built with Vue.js and Inertia.js, providing a dynamic user experience. - **Gallery View (`resources/js/Pages/Home.vue`):** - Displays a grid of images (both original and styled). - Images are fetched from `/api/images`. - Includes pagination for large galleries. - Periodically polls `/api/images` to refresh the gallery and show newly styled images. - **Image Context Menu (`resources/js/Components/ImageContextMenu.vue`):** - Appears when a user taps on an image in the gallery. - Provides options: "Drucken" (Print), "Stil ändern" (Change Style), "Schließen" (Close). - Dynamically adjusts its position based on the tap location. - Layout: Image preview (60% width) and options list (40% width). - **Style Selector (`resources/js/Components/StyleSelector.vue`):** - Displayed when "Stil ändern" is selected from the context menu. - Fetches and lists available AI styles from `/api/styles`. - Allows users to select a style. - Lazy loads style preview images using `IntersectionObserver` for performance. - Includes a "back" arrow to return to the main context menu. - **Styled Image Display (Implicit):** - Styled images appear in the main gallery after processing. - **User Authentication/Profile:** - Login/Logout functionality (handled by Laravel Breeze/Fortify and Inertia.js). - User profile management (via Laravel's built-in features and Filament admin panel). ### 2.2. Backend (Laravel 12 with Filament Admin Panel) The backend is a monolithic Laravel application, with Filament providing a powerful administrative interface. - **Filament Admin Panel:** - Accessible via `/admin`. - Provides CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations for the following resources: - **AI Models (`app/Filament/Resources/AiModelResource.php`):** Manage AI models, their IDs, types, associated API providers, and specific parameters (JSON). - **API Providers (`app/Filament/Resources/ApiProviderResource.php`):** Configure connections to external AI services (API URL, authentication tokens/credentials, plugin type). - **Styles (`app/Filament/Resources/StyleResource.php`):** Define AI styles, including their title, prompt, description, preview image, parameters (JSON), and associated AI model. - **Images (via direct database interaction and synchronization):** While there's an `ImageResource`, image management is largely automated through synchronization. - **Users (`app/Filament/Resources/UserResource.php`):** Manage user accounts and assign roles. - **Roles (`app/Filament/Resources/RoleResource.php`):** Define user roles and permissions. - **Settings (`app/Filament/Resources/SettingResource.php`):** Manage application-wide settings. ## 3. Resources/Entities (Models) The application's core data structures are represented by Eloquent models: - **`App\Models\User`**: Represents a user account. - `id` (PK) - `name` - `email` - `password` - `role_id` (FK to `roles` table) - `two_factor_secret`, `two_factor_recovery_codes`, `two_factor_confirmed_at` (for 2FA) - `settings` (JSON) - **`App\Models\Image`**: Stores metadata for both original and styled images. - `id` (PK) - `path` (string, file path relative to storage disk) - `uuid` (string, unique identifier for tracking) - `original_image_id` (FK to `images` table, for styled images) - `style_id` (FK to `styles` table, for styled images) - `is_temp` (boolean, true for temporary styled images) - `is_public` (boolean, true for publicly visible images) - `comfyui_prompt_id` (string, for tracking ComfyUI jobs) - `created_at`, `updated_at` - **`App\Models\Style`**: Defines an AI style. - `id` (PK) - `title` (string) - `prompt` (text, the base prompt for the AI model) - `description` (text) - `preview_image` (string, path to style preview image) - `parameters` (JSON, additional parameters for the AI plugin, cast to array) - `ai_model_id` (FK to `ai_models` table) - `enabled` (boolean) - `created_at`, `updated_at` - **`App\Models\AiModel`**: Represents a specific AI model (e.g., Stable Diffusion v1.5). - `id` (PK) - `name` (string) - `model_id` (string, identifier used by the AI service) - `model_type` (string, e.g., "Stable Diffusion") - `enabled` (boolean) - `parameters` (JSON, additional parameters for the AI plugin, cast to array) - `created_at`, `updated_at` - **`App\Models\ApiProvider`**: Configures connection details for an external AI service. - `id` (PK) - `name` (string, e.g., "ComfyUI API") - `api_url` (string, base URL of the AI service) - `username` (string, nullable) - `password` (string, nullable) - `token` (string, nullable) - `plugin` (string, identifies the plugin to use, e.g., "comfyui", "runwareai") - `enabled` (boolean) - `created_at`, `updated_at` - **`App\Models\Role`**: Defines user roles for access control. - `id` (PK) - `name` (string, e.g., "admin", "user") - `created_at`, `updated_at` - **`App\Models\Setting`**: Stores application-wide key-value settings. - `id` (PK) - `key` (string) - `value` (text) - `created_at`, `updated_at` ## 4.

User Interactions ### 5.1. Frontend User Interactions - **Image Upload:** Users can upload images via a dedicated interface (not explicitly detailed in provided context, but implied by gallery functionality). - **Image Selection:** Tapping on an image in the gallery opens a context menu. - **Context Menu Actions:** - "Drucken" (Print): Placeholder for printing functionality. - "Stil ändern" (Change Style): Navigates to the style selection interface. - "Schließen" (Close): Closes the context menu. - **Style Selection:** - Users browse a list of available styles. - Selecting a style initiates the AI image transformation process. - "Back" arrow: Returns to the image context menu. - **Gallery Refresh:** The gallery automatically updates to show newly processed images (polling every 5 seconds). - **Authentication:** Users can log in and out. ### 5.2. Backend (Admin Panel) User Interactions - **Resource Management:** Full CRUD operations for AI Models, API Providers, Styles, Users, and Roles. - **Toggle Status:** Enable/disable AI Models, API Providers, and Styles. - **Duplication:** Duplicate existing AI Models and Styles to quickly create new ones. - **Settings Management:** Update application-wide settings. ## 6. External System Interactions ### 6.1. AI Web Services The application integrates with external AI services for image processing. The specific plugin used is determined by the `plugin` field in the `ApiProvider` model. - **ComfyUI (via `App\Api\Plugins\ComfyUi.php`):** - **Image Upload:** Sends image data (base64 encoded) to the ComfyUI server's `/upload/image` endpoint. - **Prompt Queuing:** Sends the constructed workflow JSON to the ComfyUI server's `/prompt` endpoint. - **Result Fetching:** Polls the ComfyUI server's `/history/{prompt_id}` endpoint to check the status and retrieve the base64 encoded styled image. - **RunwareAI (via `App\Api\Plugins\RunwareAi.php`):** - **Image Upload:** Sends image data (base64 encoded) to the RunwareAI API. - **Style Change Request:** Sends a request with prompt, seed image UUID, model ID, and merged parameters to the RunwareAI API for image inference. ### 6.2. Authentication - **Laravel Sanctum:** Used for API authentication, securing routes that require user login (e.g., keeping/deleting images, admin panel access). ## 7. Call Structure and Access Rights ### 7.1. API Routes (`routes/api.php`) - **Publicly Accessible Routes:** - `GET /api/images`: Retrieves a list of images (public and temporary for unauthenticated users, all for authenticated users). Handled by `ImageController@index`. - `GET /api/styles`: Retrieves a list of available styles. Handled by `StyleController@index`. - `POST /api/images/style-change`: Initiates an AI style change request. Handled by `ImageController@styleChangeRequest`. - `GET /api/comfyui-url`: Retrieves the ComfyUI API URL. Handled by `ImageController@getComfyUiUrl`. - `GET /api/images/fetch-styled/{prompt_id}`: Fetches the result of a styled image request. Handled by `ImageController@fetchStyledImage`. - **Authenticated Routes (requires `auth:sanctum` middleware):** - `GET /api/user`: Retrieves authenticated user details. - `POST /api/admin/navigation-state`: Stores admin navigation state. Handled by `NavigationStateController@store`. - `POST /api/images/keep`: Marks a temporary styled image as permanent. Handled by `ImageController@keepImage`. - `DELETE /api/images/{image}`: Deletes an image. Handled by `ImageController@deleteImage`. - `GET /api/images/status`: Retrieves the status of an image (placeholder for future use). Handled by `ImageController@getStatus`. ### 7.2. Web Routes (`routes/web.php`) - Standard Laravel web routes for serving the Inertia.js frontend. The main application entry point is typically handled by a route that returns an Inertia response (e.g., `Route::get('/', ...)`). ### 7.3. Access Rights - **API Authentication:** Laravel Sanctum is used to protect API routes. Users must be authenticated to access certain functionalities. - **Filament Admin Panel:** Access to the `/admin` panel is controlled by Filament's built-in authentication and authorization system, typically based on user roles. - **Image Visibility:** - `is_public` flag on `Image` model: Controls whether an image is visible to unauthenticated users. - `is_temp` flag on `Image` model: Identifies temporary styled images. Unauthenticated users can see their own temporary images. - **Resource Status:** - `enabled` flag on `AiModel`, `ApiProvider`, and `Style` models: Controls whether these resources are active and usable within the application. ## 8. Detailed Description of Key Logic/Flows ### 8.1. Image Styling Process 1. **User Action (Frontend):** A user selects an image in the gallery and chooses a style from the `StyleSelector` component. 2. **Frontend Request:** The `Home.vue` component sends an `axios.post` request to `/api/images/style-change`, including the `image_id` and `style_id`. 3. **Backend (ImageController@styleChangeRequest):** - Retrieves the `Image` and `Style` models based on the provided IDs. - Retrieves the associated `AiModel` and `ApiProvider` from the `Style` model. - Loads the appropriate AI plugin (e.g., `ComfyUi`, `RunwareAi`) using `PluginLoader::getPlugin()`. - Calls the `processImageStyleChange()` method on the loaded plugin, passing the `Image` and `Style` models. 4. **AI Plugin (`ComfyUi.php` or `RunwareAi.php`):** - **Image Upload:** The plugin first uploads the original image to the external AI service. - **Parameter Merging:** - It retrieves `parameters` from both the `AiModel` and the `Style` models. - These parameters (which are JSON objects) are deeply merged using `array_replace_recursive()`. This ensures that specific parameters from the style can override or extend parameters defined at the model level. - **Prompt Construction:** The plugin constructs the final prompt/workflow for the AI service. - For ComfyUI, it takes the merged parameters (workflow JSON) and performs string replacements for placeholders like `__PROMPT__` (from `Style->prompt`), `__FILENAME__` (uploaded image filename), and `__MODEL_ID__` (from `AiModel->model_id`). - Crucially, values for placeholders are JSON-encoded and then stripped of outer quotes to ensure safe injection into the JSON workflow, preventing syntax errors. - **API Call:** The plugin sends the prepared request (e.g., prompt to ComfyUI, inference request to RunwareAI) to the external AI service. - **Response Handling:** The plugin waits for a response from the AI service (e.g., `prompt_id` from ComfyUI, base64 image data from RunwareAI). 5. **Backend (ImageController@styleChangeRequest - continued):** - Receives the initial response from the plugin (e.g., `prompt_id`). - Updates the `Image` record with the `comfyui_prompt_id` and `style_id` for tracking. - Returns a JSON response to the frontend with the `prompt_id` and `image_uuid`. 6. **Frontend (Home.vue - Polling for Result):** - Upon receiving the `prompt_id`, the frontend starts polling `/api/images/fetch-styled/{prompt_id}`. 7. **Backend (ImageController@fetchStyledImage):** - Retrieves the `Image` record using the `comfyui_prompt_id`. - Loads the relevant AI plugin. - Calls a method on the plugin (e.g., `waitForResult` for ComfyUI) to retrieve the final base64 encoded styled image data. - Decodes the base64 image, saves it to `public/storage/uploads` (e.g., `styled_UUID.png`). - Creates a new `Image` record in the database for the styled image, linking it to the original image and style, and setting `is_temp` to `true`. - Returns a JSON response with the styled image's details. 8. **Frontend (Home.vue - Gallery Refresh):** - Upon successful fetching of the styled image, the frontend calls `fetchImages()` to refresh the gallery, which now includes the newly created styled image. ### 8.2. Image Synchronization - The `ImageController@index` method performs a synchronization between the `public/storage/uploads` directory and the `images` table in the database. - It adds new image files found on disk to the database. - It removes database entries for images that no longer exist on disk. - This ensures the gallery always reflects the actual files in storage. ### 8.3. Parameter Merging Logic - The `parameters` fields in `Style` and `AiModel` are stored as JSON in the database and automatically cast to PHP arrays by Eloquent. - In the AI plugins (`ComfyUi.php`, `RunwareAi.php`), when constructing the AI service request: - `$modelParams = $style->aiModel->parameters ?? [];` - `$styleParams = $style->parameters ?? [];` - `$mergedParams = array_replace_recursive($modelParams, $styleParams);` - This `array_replace_recursive` function is crucial for deep merging, allowing style-specific parameters to override or extend model-level parameters. - Placeholders (`__PROMPT__`, `__FILENAME__`, `__MODEL_ID__`) within the merged JSON are replaced with actual values. These values are first JSON-encoded and then trimmed of their outer quotes to ensure they are safely inserted into the JSON structure without breaking it. ### 8.4. File Storage Configuration - The application uses Laravel's filesystem configuration. - The `public` disk is configured in `config/filesystems.php` to point directly to `public_path('storage')`. - Images uploaded via Filament (e.g., style previews) are stored in `public/storage/style_previews`. - The `public/storage` directory is a symbolic link to `storage/app/public` (though the configuration was adjusted to point directly to `public/storage` for the `public` disk). This detailed overview should provide a solid foundation for understanding and rebuilding the AI StyleGallery application.
