Restores the 208 catalog items reverted after their previews 404'd in production, this time on the payload mechanism rather than the .html files that caused the outage. The generator no longer writes a preview document to docs/public. That writer, and the machinery under it, existed only to produce files the docs host discards, so it is gone rather than bypassed. Items now embed the composition itself via a payload, which is what the previous change already does for the items that were already in the catalog. The variables explorer is parked, not restored: it drove its preview through the same unpublished .html path, so it would have shown an empty frame. Items that declare variables get the live player plus the static variables table, and reconnecting the explorer to payloads is a follow-up.

# Contributing a Block or Component to the Registry
|
|
|
|
Guide the user from idea to merged PR for a new registry block or component.
|
|
|
|
## Workflow
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
1. Clarify → 2. Scaffold → 3. Build → 4. Validate → 5. Preview → 6. Ship
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Step 1: Clarify
|
|
|
|
Ask what they're building. The registry has two item types:
|
|
|
|
- **Block** (`registry/blocks/`, type `hyperframes:block`) — a full standalone composition with fixed dimensions and duration. Caption styles, VFX effects, title cards, lower thirds.
|
|
- **Component** (`registry/components/`, type `hyperframes:component`) — a reusable snippet with no fixed dimensions or duration. CSS effects, text treatments, overlays that adapt to any composition size.
|
|
|
|
Then ask:
|
|
|
|
- One-sentence description of the effect
|
|
- Visual reference (URL, screenshot, or description)
|
|
- Who uses this and when?
|
|
|
|
### Step 2: Scaffold
|
|
|
|
Create the registry structure:
|
|
|
|
**For blocks:**
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
registry/blocks/{block-name}/
|
|
{block-name}.html
|
|
registry-item.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**For components:**
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
registry/components/{component-name}/
|
|
{component-name}.html
|
|
registry-item.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Naming convention:**
|
|
|
|
| Item name | ID prefix | Example IDs |
|
|
| ---------------- | --------- | ---------------------- |
|
|
| `cap-hormozi` | `hz` | `hz-cg-0`, `hz-cw-3` |
|
|
| `cap-typewriter` | `tw` | `tw-cg-0`, `tw-ch-0-5` |
|
|
| `vfx-chrome` | `vc` | `vc-canvas` |
|
|
|
|
Use a 2-3 letter prefix. ALL element IDs must use this prefix to avoid collisions in sub-compositions.
|
|
|
|
**registry-item.json** — use the canonical templates in [templates.md](templates.md) (block and component variants, both with all required fields).
|
|
|
|
### Step 3: Build
|
|
|
|
Apply the correct template based on type. See [templates.md](templates.md) for copy-paste starters.
|
|
|
|
#### Caption blocks
|
|
|
|
**Non-negotiable caption rules:**
|
|
|
|
- Font: **96px minimum** for proportional fonts. **64-72px acceptable for monospace** (wider characters need less size).
|
|
- Readability: `-webkit-text-stroke: 2-3px` OR multi-layer `text-shadow`
|
|
- Overflow: call `window.__hyperframes.fitTextFontSize()` on every group
|
|
- Karaoke: highlight active word via `tl.to(wordEl, { color/scale }, WORDS[wi].start)`
|
|
- Hard kill: `tl.set(groupEl, { opacity: 0, visibility: "hidden" }, g.end)` on EVERY group
|
|
- **Never use `tl.from(el, { opacity: 0 })` at the same position as `tl.set(el, { opacity: 1 })`** — the from clobbers the set. Use `tl.to` instead.
|
|
|
|
**Per-character animation** (typewriter, scramble):
|
|
|
|
- Wrap each character in `<span>` with ID `{prefix}-ch-{group}-{char}`
|
|
- Stagger via `tl.set` at computed intervals from word timestamps
|
|
- Cursors/decorative elements: use `tl.set` at intervals — NOT CSS animation (not seekable)
|
|
|
|
**Positioning variants:**
|
|
|
|
- Centered: `display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center;`
|
|
- Lower-third: `position: absolute; bottom: 100px; left: 0; width: 100%; text-align: center;`
|
|
- Left-aligned: `position: absolute; bottom: 100px; left: 120px; text-align: left;`
|
|
|
|
#### VFX blocks (Three.js)
|
|
|
|
- Use `three@0.147.0` from CDN (global script)
|
|
- `tl.eventCallback("onUpdate", renderScene); renderScene();` — NO requestAnimationFrame
|
|
- State proxy pattern: GSAP animates plain JS object, render function reads it
|
|
- Seeded PRNG (`mulberry32`) for randomness
|
|
|
|
#### All types
|
|
|
|
- **Placeholder content is monochrome** — read
|
|
[placeholder-material.md](placeholder-material.md) before choosing a single colour. Stand-in
|
|
screens, images, cards, avatars, logos and chart series use four alpha steps of the
|
|
composition's ink; accent marks one element and never a placeholder.
|
|
- `data-composition-id` MUST match `window.__timelines["id"]`
|
|
- All element IDs prefixed with block abbreviation
|
|
- `gsap.timeline({ paused: true })` — always paused
|
|
- No `Math.random()`, no `Date.now()`
|
|
|
|
### Step 4: Validate
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
hyperframes lint # 0 errors required
|
|
hyperframes check --no-contrast # 0 console errors required
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Step 5: Preview
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Render preview video
|
|
hyperframes render -o preview.mp4
|
|
|
|
# Snapshot for visual QA
|
|
hyperframes snapshot --at "1.0,3.0,5.0,7.0"
|
|
|
|
# Publish to hyperframes.dev for review
|
|
npx hyperframes publish
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Catalog preview image** — The catalog card uses a PNG at `docs/images/catalog/{kind}/{name}.png` (where `{kind}` is `blocks` or `components`). Generate it from a snapshot, then:
|
|
|
|
- **HeyGen internal contributors:** run `scripts/upload-docs-images.sh` (requires AWS profile `engineering-767398024897`)
|
|
- **External contributors:** attach the preview MP4 to your PR description. A maintainer will generate and upload the catalog image before merging.
|
|
|
|
### Step 6: Ship
|
|
|
|
**All steps are required. Missing any one produces a broken catalog entry.**
|
|
|
|
`{kind}` is `blocks` or `components` depending on what you built in Step 1.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# 1. Create branch
|
|
git checkout -b feat/registry-{name}
|
|
|
|
# 2. Format HTML
|
|
npx oxfmt registry/{kind}/{name}/*.html
|
|
|
|
# 3. Regenerate registry/registry.json from the item directories.
|
|
# Do not hand-edit it: an entry added by hand survives until the next
|
|
# regeneration and then vanishes, and one left behind for a directory that
|
|
# no longer exists is worse, because `hyperframes add <name>` resolves the
|
|
# name and then fails on missing files.
|
|
npx tsx scripts/generate-registry-items.ts
|
|
|
|
# 4. Generate catalog docs page
|
|
npx tsx scripts/generate-catalog-pages.ts
|
|
|
|
# 5. Publish to hyperframes.dev so reviewers can preview
|
|
npx hyperframes publish
|
|
|
|
# 6. Stage everything
|
|
git add registry/{kind}/{name}/ registry/registry.json docs/catalog/
|
|
|
|
# 7. Commit
|
|
git commit -m "feat(registry): add {name} — {one sentence}"
|
|
|
|
# 8. Push and open PR with hyperframes.dev link
|
|
git push origin feat/registry-{name}
|
|
gh pr create --title "feat(registry): {name}" --body "preview: {hyperframes.dev-url}"
|
|
```
