Phase 3: Rich Interactive Components
Planning for DragList, Chart, and other pre-built interactive components for kontasks
Output
Phase 3: Rich Interactive Components
Clarification:
We chose Vanilla JS over React in Phase 1. Phase 3 should be pre-built Vanilla JS components that Claude can drop into kontasks.
Proposed Components
| SortableList | Drag-and-drop reordering with touch support. For prioritization tasks. |
| SimpleChart | Bar/line charts using Canvas or SVG. For metrics visualization. |
| ExpandableTree | Collapsible tree view. For file structures, hierarchies. |
| MultiSelect | Checkbox list with select all. For batch operations. |
| StepWizard | Multi-step form with progress. For Interview Mode. |
Implementation Approach
- Create
konui/src/kontask-components.tswith reusable component scripts - Each component: self-contained HTML + CSS + JS
- Claude includes via template pattern:
<div data-component="sortable-list" data-items='[...]'></div> - Components auto-initialize via
executeKontaskScripts
Alternative: Start Simpler
Rich components add complexity. Consider instead:
- Interview Mode first - Uses simple buttons/forms we already have
- Build components as needed - When a kontask actually needs drag-drop, build it then
💡 Recommendation
Start with StepWizard - it's the foundation for Interview Mode (HIGH priority) and provides immediate value. Build other components when specific kontasks need them.
