# Modular Architecture Analysis & Infrastructure Abstractions
**Project**: Ario Web Application
**Date**: September 5, 2025
**Scope**: Analysis of modular plugin architecture for centralization opportunities
---
## Executive Summary
The Ario web application demonstrates a well-architected modular system using Vue 3, TypeScript, and dependency injection. After comprehensive analysis of all modules, we've identified **significant opportunities for code consolidation** that could reduce duplication by 30-40% while improving maintainability, type safety, and development velocity.
**Key Findings**:
- **16+ duplicate patterns** across modules requiring abstraction
- **Common async operation pattern** found in 12+ files
- **Service dependency injection** pattern duplicated in 7+ services
- **Payment processing logic** duplicated between market and events modules
- **User-scoped storage** pattern repeated across multiple stores
---
## Current Module Structure
### Base Module (`src/modules/base/`)
- **Purpose**: Core infrastructure (Nostr, Auth, PWA)
- **Key Services**: Authentication, Relay Hub, Client Hub
- **Status**: Well-established foundation
### Chat Module (`src/modules/chat/`)
- **Purpose**: Encrypted Nostr chat functionality
- **Key Features**: NIP-04 encryption, DM handling, peer management
- **Dependencies**: Base module services
### Events Module (`src/modules/events/`)
- **Purpose**: Event ticketing with Lightning payments
- **Key Features**: Ticket purchase, Lightning integration, QR codes
- **Dependencies**: Base module, payment processing
### Market Module (`src/modules/market/`)
- **Purpose**: Nostr marketplace with order management
- **Key Features**: Product catalog, order processing, payment handling
- **Dependencies**: Base module, payment processing, storage
### Nostr Feed Module (`src/modules/nostr-feed/`)
- **Purpose**: Social feed functionality
- **Key Features**: Note filtering, admin posts, real-time updates
- **Dependencies**: Base module services
---
## Identified Duplicate Patterns
### 1. Async Operation Pattern ⭐ **HIGH PRIORITY**
**Occurrences**: Found in **12+ files** across all modules
**Current Implementation**:
```typescript
// Repeated in every composable/component
const isLoading = ref(false)
const error = ref<string | null>(null)
const data = ref<T | null>(null)
try {
isLoading.value = true
// operation
} catch (err) {
error.value = err.message
} finally {
isLoading.value = false
}
```
**Impact**:
- 200+ lines of duplicate code
- Inconsistent error handling
- Manual loading state management
### 2. Service Dependency Injection ⭐ **HIGH PRIORITY**
**Occurrences**: Found in **7+ service files**
**Current Implementation**:
```typescript
// Repeated in every service
const relayHub = injectService(SERVICE_TOKENS.RELAY_HUB) as any
const authService = injectService(SERVICE_TOKENS.AUTH_SERVICE) as any
if (!relayHub) {
throw new Error('RelayHub not available')
}
```
**Impact**:
- Type safety issues (`as any` casting)
- Duplicate dependency checking
- Inconsistent error messages
### 3. Payment Processing Logic ⭐ **HIGH PRIORITY**
**Occurrences**: Duplicated between market and events modules
**Current Implementation**:
```typescript
// Similar logic in both modules
const payInvoiceWithWallet = async (bolt11: string) => {
// Lightning payment logic
// QR code generation
// Success/error handling
// Toast notifications
}
```
**Impact**:
- 150+ lines of duplicate payment logic
- Inconsistent payment UX
- Duplicate error handling
### 4. User-Scoped Storage Pattern
**Occurrences**: Found in market store, chat service
**Current Implementation**:
```typescript
// Pattern repeated across modules
const getUserStorageKey = (baseKey: string) => {
const userPubkey = auth.currentUser?.value?.pubkey
return userPubkey ? `${baseKey}_${userPubkey}` : baseKey
}
```
**Impact**:
- Duplicate storage key logic
- Potential data consistency issues
### 5. Module Registration Pattern
**Occurrences**: Every module (`index.ts` files)
**Current Implementation**:
```typescript
// Identical structure in every module
export const modulePlugin: ModulePlugin = {
name: 'module-name',
install(app: App, options) {
// Service registration
// Component registration
// Route registration
// Event setup
},
uninstall() {
// Cleanup logic
}
}
```
**Impact**:
- Boilerplate code in every module
- Inconsistent registration patterns
### 6. Toast Notification Pattern
**Occurrences**: Found in 4+ files
**Current Implementation**:
```typescript
// Inconsistent usage across modules
toast.success('Operation successful!')
toast.error('Operation failed')
```
**Impact**:
- Inconsistent notification styling
- Duplicate notification logic
---
## Recommended Abstractions
### 1. Core Infrastructure Abstractions
#### A. `useAsyncOperation` Composable
**Location**: `src/core/composables/useAsyncOperation.ts`
```typescript
export function useAsyncOperation<T>() {
const isLoading = ref(false)
const error = ref<string | null>(null)
const data = ref<T | null>(null)
const execute = async (operation: () => Promise<T>, options?: {
successMessage?: string
errorMessage?: string
showToast?: boolean
}) => {
// Standardized loading/error/success handling
}
return { isLoading, error, data, execute, reset }
}
```
**Benefits**:
- ✅ Eliminates 200+ lines of duplicate code
- ✅ Consistent error handling across all modules
- ✅ Standardized loading states
- ✅ Optional toast notification integration
#### B. `BaseService` Abstract Class
**Location**: `src/core/base/BaseService.ts`
```typescript
export abstract class BaseService {
protected relayHub: any
protected authService: any
constructor() {
// Proper dependency injection with type safety
}
protected async initialize(): Promise<void> {
await this.waitForDependencies()
await this.onInitialize()
}
protected requireAuth() {
// Centralized auth requirement checking
}
protected handleError(error: Error, context: string) {
// Standardized error handling and reporting
}
}
```
**Benefits**:
- ✅ Eliminates `as any` type casting
- ✅ Consistent dependency management
- ✅ Standardized service lifecycle
- ✅ Better error handling and debugging
#### C. `PaymentService` Centralization
**Location**: `src/core/services/PaymentService.ts`
```typescript
export class PaymentService extends BaseService {
async processLightningPayment(bolt11: string, orderId?: string): Promise<PaymentResult>
async generateQRCode(paymentRequest: string): Promise<string>
async monitorPaymentStatus(paymentHash: string): Promise<void>
}
```
**Benefits**:
- ✅ Eliminates 150+ lines of duplicate payment logic
- ✅ Consistent payment UX across market and events
- ✅ Centralized payment monitoring and error handling
- ✅ Single source of truth for Lightning integration
#### D. `StorageService` Abstraction
**Location**: `src/core/services/StorageService.ts`
```typescript
export class StorageService {
setUserData<T>(key: string, data: T): void
getUserData<T>(key: string, defaultValue?: T): T | undefined
clearUserData(key: string): void
}
```
**Benefits**:
- ✅ User-scoped storage abstraction
- ✅ Type-safe storage operations
- ✅ Consistent data isolation between users
### 2. UI/UX Standardization
#### A. Notification Service
**Location**: `src/core/services/NotificationService.ts`
```typescript
export class NotificationService {
success(message: string, options?: NotificationOptions): void
error(message: string, options?: NotificationOptions): void
info(message: string, options?: NotificationOptions): void
}
```
#### B. Module Registration Utilities
**Location**: `src/core/utils/moduleRegistration.ts`
```typescript
export function createModulePlugin(config: ModuleConfig): ModulePlugin {
// Standardized module registration with error handling
}
```
