Skill: Add a Frontend Management Resource / Page

Feature ID: TR-F013 | Milestone: M2 and others

When to use

After adding an Admin API on the backend, when the React Admin backend needs to expose the corresponding resource or page.

Pre-research

view web/src/App.tsx                       # resource / route registration
file_search "web/src/resources/*.tsx"      # resource references
view web/src/providers/dataProvider.ts     # REST mapping
view web/src/resources/nodes.tsx           # standard resource reference

Implementation steps

  1. Resource file: define List/Edit/Create in web/src/resources/<feature>.tsx (mirror nodes.tsx).
  2. Register the resource: add <Resource name="<api-path>" .../> in web/src/App.tsx; the name must align with the backend API path.
  3. Data mapping: confirm dataProvider.ts pagination / filter / sort params match the backend.
  4. Pages (if not standard CRUD): put them under web/src/pages/; do not create a separate management entry.
  5. i18n: if the project has i18n keys, add the corresponding strings.

Boundaries

  • Do not introduce a separate management entry; all pages hang under the unified Admin framework.
  • The frontend only exposes backend-supported, verifiable, safe actions (especially CoA); never assemble protocol packets in the frontend.

Acceptance

  • cd web && npm run build succeeds
  • List / filter / CRUD are connected to the backend
  • PR references TR-F013 and the milestone ID
