Jaspr Migration Skill

This document outlines the process and key learnings from extracting a complex HTML component from a live website to a Jaspr component using Dart.

When to use this skill

Use this skill when you need to extract a part of a website and migrate it to Jaspr.

How to use it

The migration process follows a strict "Structure Only" approach:

  1. Fetch & Extract:

    • Use curl to fetch the raw HTML. This ensures you get the initial server-rendered markup without client-side modifications.
    • If needed, use browser dev tools to identify the correct DOM node, but rely on curl for the source extraction.
    • Note any dynamic classes or attributes controlled by JavaScript.

  2. Markup Translation (Exact Match):

    • Create a single StatelessComponent for the extracted HTML.
    • Translate HTML tags 1:1 to Jaspr components (div, nav, ul, li, img, etc.).
    • Maintain strict fidelity: Keep original CSS classes, IDs and all attributes exactly as they are. This ensures existing stylesheets work without modification.
    • Specifically keep any logic-based attributes (e.g. x- attributes from alpine.js) as is and DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RE-IMPLEMENT LOGIC in Dart.

Asset Handling

When encountering assets (images, videos, etc.), look for them in /assets/src/img or /assets/src/video. Note: The production site appends hashes to asset names, but the source files do not have them.

Use the asset() function imported from lib/constants/asset_loader.dart with the non-hashed filename. It returns the correct path after bundling.

img(src: asset('my-image.png'), alt: 'My Image')

Data-Driven Components

For components with repetitive or dynamic content (like carousels, event grids, or country lists), separate the data from the structure:

  1. Extract Data to YAML: Identify repetitive sections and extract their content into a YAML file in content/_data/ (e.g., my_data_file.yaml).
  2. Access Data via Context: Use package:jaspr_content/jaspr_content.dart to access the data in your component.
  3. Dynamic Rendering: Use Dart collection-for to render the items, keeping the HTML structure inside the loop consistent with the original.
import 'package:jaspr_content/jaspr_content.dart';

// Inside build method
final items = context.page.data['my_data_file'] as List? ?? [];

div(classes: 'grid', [
  for (final item in items)
    _buildItem(item as Map<String, dynamic>),
])

Reusing Sections

When possible, reuse existing sections from lib/components/sections like the CtaSection or NewsletterSection.

Do not add new sections yourself.

Desired Outcome

The desired outcome is 1-to-1 translation of the HTML to Jaspr. The component should be as close to the original HTML as possible.

Fidelity is King: When porting, trust that the original CSS/HTML structure is correct. Don't refactor the structure while migrating the technology. Data-driven patterns should enhance maintainability without changing the rendered HTML.
