## Description: Continuation from #3276 Adds the complete client-side clan UI as a Lit web component (`<clan-modal>`), a typed API client with Zod-validated responses, shared response schemas, and a reusable `<confirm-dialog>` component. ### New: `ClanModal.ts` | View | What it does | |------|-------------| | **My Clans** | Lists joined clans + pending join requests (built from `/users/@me`, no extra fetches) | | **Browse** | Search by tag (min 3 chars), paginated results, configurable per-page (10/25/50) | | **Clan Detail** | Stats, paginated + searchable member list, role badges, join/leave/request actions | | **Manage** | Edit name (max 35 chars) + description, toggle open/invite-only, disband | | **Transfer** | Leadership transfer with member selector + confirmation | | **Requests** | Approve/deny join requests (leader/officer) | | **Bans** | View and unban (leader/officer) | | **My Requests** | View and withdraw outgoing requests | ### New: `ConfirmDialog.ts` Reusable `<confirm-dialog>` Lit component — replaces native `confirm()`/`prompt()` which are blocked or broken on mobile and CrazyGames iframes. Supports danger/warning variants and an optional textarea (used for ban reasons). Fires `confirm`/`cancel` events. ### New: `ClanApi.ts` Typed API client covering all clan endpoints. Every response is Zod-validated. Auth header is always last in the spread (can't be overridden by callers). Unknown server error messages always fall back to a generic client-side string — never displayed verbatim. ### New: `ClanApiSchemas.ts` (in `src/core/`) Shared Zod schemas for clan API responses with max-length constraints on `name` (35) and `description` (200). Lives in `core/` so it can be consumed by both client code and the leaderboard table. ### Modified: `ApiSchemas.ts` - Added `clans` and `clanRequests` arrays to `UserMeResponseSchema` - Moved clan leaderboard schemas out to `ClanApiSchemas.ts` - Renamed `LeaderboardClanTagSchema` → `RequiredClanTagSchema` ### Modified: `Api.ts` - Added `invalidateUserMe()` to bust the cached `/users/me` response after mutations - Removed `fetchClanLeaderboard` (moved to `ClanApi.ts`) ### Tests - `ClanModal.test.ts` — rendering, view navigation, user actions - `ClanApiQueries.test.ts` — fetch functions, error handling, pagination - `ClanApiMutations.test.ts` — join, leave, kick, ban, promote, transfer, etc. - `ClanApiBans.test.ts` — ban/unban calls and error paths - `ClanApiSchemas.test.ts` — Zod schema validation edge cases - `LeaderboardModal.test.ts` — updated imports ## Notable design decisions - **Not-logged-in state** — shows "Sign in to join clans" instead of false "no clans" empty state - **Rate limit feedback** — reads `Retry-After` header and surfaces wait time to the user ## Please complete the following: - [x] I have added screenshots for all UI updates - [x] I process any text displayed to the user through translateText() and I've added it to the en.json file - [x] I have added relevant tests to the test directory - [x] I confirm I have thoroughly tested these changes and take full responsibility for any bugs introduced ## Please put your Discord username so you can be contacted if a bug or regression is found: w.o.n --------- Co-authored-by: evanpelle <evanpelle@gmail.com>

🚀 Installation
-
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/openfrontio/OpenFrontIO.git cd OpenFrontIO -
Install dependencies
npm run instDo NOT use
npm installnornpm ibut instead use ournpm run inst. It runs the safernpm ci --ignore-scriptsto install dependencies exactly according to the versions inpackage-lock.jsonand doesn't run scripts. This can prevent being hit by a supply chain attack.
🎮 Running the Game
Development Mode
Run both the client and server in development mode with live reloading:
npm run dev
This will:
- Start the webpack dev server for the client
- Launch the game server with development settings
- Open the game in your default browser (to disable this behavior, set
SKIP_BROWSER_OPEN=truein your environment)
Client Only
To run just the client with hot reloading:
npm run start:client
Server Only
To run just the server with development settings:
npm run start:server-dev
Connecting to staging or production backends
Sometimes it's useful to connect to production servers when replaying a game, testing user profiles, purchases, or login flow.
To replay a production game, make sure you're on the same commit that the game you want to replay was executed on, you can find the
gitCommitvalue viahttps://api.openfront.io/game/[gameId]. Unfinished games cannot be replayed on localhost.
To connect to staging api servers:
npm run dev:staging
To connect to production api servers:
npm run dev:prod

Project Governance
- The project maintainer (evan) has final authority on all code changes and design decisions
- All pull requests require maintainer approval before merging
- The maintainer reserves the right to reject contributions that don't align with the project's vision or quality standards
Contribution Path for New Contributors
To ensure code quality and project stability, we use a progressive contribution system:
-
New Contributors: Limited to UI improvements and small bug fixes only
- This helps you become familiar with the codebase
- UI changes are easier to review and less likely to break core functionality
- Small, focused PRs have a higher chance of being accepted
-
Established Contributors: After several successful PRs and demonstrating understanding of the codebase, you may work on more complex features
-
Core Contributors: Only those with extensive experience with the project may modify critical game systems
How to Contribute Successfully
-
Before Starting Work:
- Open an issue describing what you want to contribute
- Wait for maintainer feedback before investing significant time
- Small improvements can proceed directly to PR stage
-
Code Quality Requirements:
- All code must be well-commented and follow existing style patterns
- New features should not break existing functionality
- Code should be thoroughly tested before submission
- All code changes in src/core MUST be tested.
-
Pull Request Process:
- Keep PRs focused on a single feature or bug fix
- Include screenshots for UI changes
- Describe what testing you've performed
- Be responsive to feedback and requested changes
-
Testing Requirements:
- Verify your changes work as expected
- Test on multiple systems/browsers if applicable
- Document your testing process in the PR
Communication
- Be respectful and constructive in all project interactions
- Questions are welcome, but please search existing issues first
- For major changes, discuss in an issue before starting work
Final Notes
Remember that maintaining this project requires significant effort. The maintainer appreciates your contributions but must prioritize long-term project health and stability. Not all contributions will be accepted, and that's okay.
Thank you for helping make OpenFront better!
