Description

@avrabe

Overview

Create a comprehensive visual editor for WebAssembly Interface Types (WIT) that enables drag-and-drop interface design with real-time validation.

Current State

  • We have excellent WitInterfaceRenderer for visualization
  • Component palette supports basic drag-and-drop
  • Missing: Direct editing of WIT interfaces in visual mode

Proposed Enhancements

Visual Interface Editor

  • Drag-and-drop WIT element creation (interfaces, functions, types)
  • Real-time syntax validation
  • Auto-completion suggestions
  • Visual property editing with inline editors
  • Template library with pre-built patterns

Integration Points

  • WitAnalyzer integration for real-time validation
  • Export to .wit files with proper formatting
  • Bidirectional sync between visual and text editing
  • Component palette integration for seamless workflow

Technical Implementation

  • Extend WitInterfaceRenderer with edit capabilities
  • Add visual editing widgets to canvas
  • Integrate with existing WitAnalyzer for validation
  • Create template management system

Success Criteria

  • Create complete WIT interfaces without text editor
  • Real-time validation prevents syntax errors
  • Export produces clean, properly formatted .wit files
  • 10x faster interface design vs manual coding

Priority: High - Estimated effort: 3-4 weeks, 2 developers
