# MiniKit Limpo Template Project Updates

## 2025-06-01: Package Renaming and TypeScript Documentation

### Objectives

- Change package name from `minikit-starter-template` to `minikit-limpo-template` across all files
- Address TypeScript errors by adding documentation to explain these are expected in the template context
- Ensure consistent naming across all project files

### Changes Made

- Updated package name from `minikit-starter-template` to `minikit-limpo-template` in:
  - `package.json`
  - Main README.md and template README.md
  - CLI script (bin/cli.js)
  - PROJECT-UPDATES.md
  - Repository URL references
- Added explanations about expected TypeScript errors:
  - Added a dedicated section in the main README.md explaining that TypeScript errors are normal in the template context
  - Added a note in the template README.md to guide users if they encounter TypeScript errors after installation
- Successfully generated an updated package tarball with the new name

## 2025-06-01: Initial Project Setup and Template Creation

### Objective
Create a minimal Next.js limpo template with WorldCoin MiniKit authentication, including a login page, dashboard with username display, placeholder pages with navigation, i18n support, and an npx-installable project structure.

### Changes Made

#### Project Structure and Setup
- Created `minikit-limpo-template` directory with full Next.js app scaffold using TypeScript and Tailwind CSS
- Set up template directory structure for easier distribution via npx
- Added essential dependencies in package.json including Next.js, React, Tailwind CSS, Heroicons, WorldCoin MiniKit packages, and i18n libraries
- Created a CLI script (bin/cli.js) to enable npx installation and project bootstrapping
- Added developer-friendly terminal outputs with color formatting in CLI script

#### Core Components
- Implemented MiniKitProvider component to initialize MiniKit using environment variable
- Created responsive TabBar component with Home (login), Info, and Settings tabs
- Added LanguageSwitcher component supporting English, Spanish, and Portuguese
- Created sample Card component to demonstrate component structure and props pattern

#### Pages and Authentication Flow
- Built login page with MiniKit wallet authentication flow
- Implemented dashboard page displaying username from MiniKit profile
- Created info page as a placeholder with personalized text
- Added settings page with language switching and logout functionality
- Created API route for nonce generation using Node.js crypto module

#### Internationalization (i18n)
- Set up i18n system with next-i18next, react-i18next, and i18next
- Created translation files for English, Spanish, and Portuguese
- Implemented language switching functionality that persists user selection

#### Configuration Files
- Added Next.js configuration with i18n support
- Created Tailwind CSS and PostCSS configuration
- Added TypeScript configuration with strict type checking
- Created .gitignore and .npmignore files
- Added setup.js script for post-installation configuration

### Specific Design Decisions
- Used client components for interactive elements
- Maintained original MiniKit username display as per user preferences
- Mobile-optimized UI with keyboard visibility detection for TabBar
- Session persistence through localStorage
- Error handling for authentication failures

### Next Steps
- Test the npx installation flow end-to-end
- Consider adding more comprehensive documentation
- Add unit tests for components
