# Browser Support Proof of Concept
1+
# Browser POC - SQLite Graph Browser Support
22

3-
**Goal:** Validate adapter pattern works with wa-sqlite before refactoring main codebase.
3+
This directory contains a proof-of-concept for adding browser support to sqlite-graph using the adapter pattern.
44

5-
## Objectives
5+
## 📋 Overview
66

7-
1. ✅ Get wa-sqlite running in both Node.js and browser
8-
2. ✅ Test OPFS persistence in browser
9-
3. ✅ Validate adapter abstraction pattern
10-
4. ✅ Benchmark performance (Node vs browser)
11-
5. ✅ Confirm same code can run in both environments
7+
- **Goal**: Enable sqlite-graph to run in web browsers using wa-sqlite
8+
- **Method**: SPARC (Specification, Pseudocode, Architecture, Refinement, Completion)
9+
- **Status**: ✅ Implementation complete, awaiting browser testing

## Structure

## 🏗️ Architecture
12+
13+
### Adapter Pattern
14+
```
15+
SQLiteAdapter (interface)
16+
├── NodeAdapter (better-sqlite3) - ✅ Complete
17+
└── BrowserAdapter (wa-sqlite) - ✅ Complete
18+
```
19+
20+
Both adapters implement the same interface, enabling runtime selection:
21+
```typescript
22+
let adapter: SQLiteAdapter;
23+
24+
if (typeof window !== 'undefined') {
25+
adapter = await BrowserAdapter.create('mydb.sqlite');
26+
} else {
27+
adapter = await NodeAdapter.create('mydb.sqlite');
28+
}
29+
```

## 🚀 Quick Start
48+
49+
### 1. Install Dependencies
50+
```bash
51+
npm install
2352
```
2453

25-
## Setup
54+
### 2. Build TypeScript
55+
```bash
56+
npm run build
57+
```
2658

59+
### 3. Run Node.js Tests
2760
```bash
28-
cd experiments/browser-poc
29-
npm init -y
30-
npm install wa-sqlite better-sqlite3 typescript @types/node
31-
npx tsc --init
61+
npm test
3262
```
3363

34-
## Tests to Run
64+
**Note**: BrowserAdapter tests cannot run in Node.js (requires browser APIs). Node tests validate NodeAdapter only.
3565

36-
### 1. Adapter Interface Validation
66+
### 4. Manual Browser Testing
67+
```bash
68+
# Serve the directory with a local web server
69+
npx http-server . -p 8080
3770

38-
- [ ] Create SQLiteAdapter interface
39-
- [ ] Implement NodeAdapter (better-sqlite3)
40-
- [ ] Implement BrowserAdapter (wa-sqlite)
41-
- [ ] Run same test code with both adapters
71+
# Open in browser
72+
open http://localhost:8080/test.html
73+
```
74+
75+
Click "Run All Tests" to validate BrowserAdapter in your browser.

### 2. Core Operations
77+
## 🧪 Testing Strategy
4478

45-
- [ ] CREATE TABLE
46-
- [ ] INSERT rows
47-
- [ ] SELECT queries
48-
- [ ] UPDATE operations
49-
- [ ] DELETE operations
50-
- [ ] Transactions (BEGIN/COMMIT/ROLLBACK)
79+
### Node.js Tests (19 tests - NodeAdapter only)
80+
```bash
81+
npm test
82+
```
83+
84+
Tests validate:
85+
- ✅ Basic operations (create, close, exec, prepare)
86+
- ✅ CRUD operations (insert, select, update, delete)
87+
- ✅ Transactions (commit, rollback)
88+
- ✅ PRAGMA operations (get, set)
89+
- ✅ Graph operations (nodes, edges, traversal)
90+
91+
### Browser Tests (Manual - test.html)
92+
Open `test.html` in a browser to run:
93+
- Basic operations tests
94+
- CRUD operations tests
95+
- Transaction tests
96+
- Graph operations tests
97+
- Performance benchmarks (1000 row inserts)
98+
99+
### Automated Browser Tests (Future)
100+
Set up Playwright or Vitest browser mode to run same 19 tests in browser automatically.
101+
102+
## 📊 VFS (Virtual File System) Options
103+
104+
BrowserAdapter auto-selects the best VFS:
105+
106+
| VFS | Performance | Availability | Persistence |
107+
|-----|-------------|--------------|-------------|
108+
| **OPFS** | ⚡ Excellent | Chrome 102+, Firefox 111+, Safari 15.2+ | ✅ Yes |
109+
| **IndexedDB** | 🐢 Good | All modern browsers | ✅ Yes |
110+
| **Memory** | 🚀 Best | Always | ❌ No |
111+
112+
### Auto-Selection Logic
113+
```typescript
114+
const adapter = await BrowserAdapter.create('mydb.sqlite');
115+
// Automatically chooses: OPFS > IndexedDB > memory
116+
117+
// Check which VFS was selected
118+
console.log(adapter.getVFS()); // 'opfs', 'idb', or 'memdb'
119+
```
120+
121+
### Manual VFS Override
122+
```typescript
123+
const adapter = await BrowserAdapter.create('mydb.sqlite', { vfs: 'idb' });
124+
```
125+
126+
## 📖 Documentation
127+
128+
### Key Documents
129+
1. **[browser-adapter-spec.md](./docs/browser-adapter-spec.md)** - Requirements and wa-sqlite API analysis
130+
2. **[browser-adapter-architecture.md](./docs/browser-adapter-architecture.md)** - Design decisions and implementation details
131+
3. **[poc-summary.md](./docs/poc-summary.md)** - POC findings and recommendations
132+
133+
### Code Examples
134+
135+
#### Basic Usage
136+
```typescript
137+
import { BrowserAdapter } from './browser-adapter.js';
138+
139+
// Create database
140+
const adapter = await BrowserAdapter.create('mydb.sqlite');
141+
142+
// Same API as NodeAdapter
143+
await adapter.exec('CREATE TABLE users (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT)');
144+
145+
const stmt = await adapter.prepare('INSERT INTO users (name) VALUES (?)');
146+
stmt.run('Alice');
147+
stmt.finalize();
148+
149+
await adapter.close();
150+
```
151+
152+
#### Transactions
153+
```typescript
154+
await adapter.transaction(async () => {
155+
const stmt = await adapter.prepare('INSERT INTO nodes (type) VALUES (?)');
156+
for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
157+
stmt.run('TestNode');
158+
}
159+
stmt.finalize();
160+
});
161+
```
162+
163+
#### Universal Factory
164+
```typescript
165+
async function createAdapter(path: string): Promise<SQLiteAdapter> {
166+
if (typeof window !== 'undefined') {
167+
const { BrowserAdapter } = await import('./browser-adapter.js');
168+
return BrowserAdapter.create(path);
169+
} else {
170+
const { NodeAdapter } = await import('./node-adapter.js');
171+
return NodeAdapter.create(path);
172+
}
173+
}
174+
```

191+
- ⏳ Performance benchmarks (OPFS vs IndexedDB)
192+
- ⏳ Multi-browser compatibility testing
193+
- ⏳ Integration with main sqlite-graph package
194+
- ⏳ Production deployment
62195

63-
**Node.js:**
64-
- [ ] Write to file
65-
- [ ] Close database
66-
- [ ] Reopen and verify data persists
196+
## 🎯 Next Steps
67197

68-
**Browser (OPFS):**
69-
- [ ] Write to OPFS
70-
- [ ] Close database
71-
- [ ] Reopen and verify data persists
72-
- [ ] Test across page reloads
198+
### Immediate
199+
1. Test `test.html` in Chrome, Firefox, Safari
200+
2. Validate OPFS detection and IndexedDB fallback
201+
3. Measure performance (1000 insert benchmark)
202+
4. Verify persistence across page reloads
73203

74-
### 5. Performance Benchmarks
204+
### Short-term
205+
1. Set up Playwright for automated browser testing
206+
2. Port all 19 tests to browser environment
207+
3. Add browser-specific tests (VFS selection, storage quotas)
208+
4. CI/CD integration for browser tests
75209

76-
Measure operations/second:
77-
- [ ] Node.js (better-sqlite3) - baseline
78-
- [ ] Browser (wa-sqlite + OPFS)
79-
- [ ] Browser (wa-sqlite + IndexedDB)
210+
### Medium-term
211+
1. Integrate adapter pattern into main package
212+
2. Create universal factory function
213+
3. Update documentation with browser examples
214+
4. Publish v1.0 with browser support
80215

81-
Target: Browser <2x slower than Node.js
216+
## 🐛 Known Limitations
82217

83-
## Expected Results
218+
1. **Browser-only execution** - BrowserAdapter requires browser APIs
219+
2. **No Node.js testing** - Cannot run browser tests with jest
220+
3. **VFS availability** - OPFS not universal (Chrome 102+, Firefox 111+)
221+
4. **Performance** - IndexedDB 3-5x slower than OPFS
222+
5. **Type definitions** - wa-sqlite uses `any` types (no official TypeScript support)
