## Frontend Integration

The package is designed to work seamlessly with any frontend framework. All endpoints return JSON data in a consistent format that can be easily consumed by:

- **React/Vue.js/Angular**: Build dynamic components from API metadata
- **Django Templates**: Use with HTMX or Alpine.js for reactive interfaces
- **Mobile Applications**: iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter
- **Any HTTP Client**: Standard REST API patterns

### 🚀 Enhanced Frontend Examples

#### Dynamic List Component
```javascript
// Get list configuration and build dynamic list
fetch('/api/products/list_metadata/?config=compact')
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(config => {
    // Build list component based on configuration
    const listComponent = {
      fields: config.fields,
      pagination: config.pagination,
      search: config.search,
      filters: config.filters,
      sorting: config.sorting
    };

    // Fetch actual data
    return fetch(`/api/products/dynamic_list/?config=compact&page=1`);
  })
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => {
    renderDynamicList(data.data, data.pagination, data.meta);
  });

// WebSocket for real-time updates
const ws = new WebSocket('/ws/lists/products_compact/');
ws.onmessage = (event) => {
  const update = JSON.parse(event.data);
  if (update.event_type === 'create') {
    addItemToList(update.data);
  } else if (update.event_type === 'update') {
    updateListItem(update.data);
  } else if (update.event_type === 'delete') {
    removeItemFromList(update.data.id);
  }
};
```

#### Advanced Autocomplete
```javascript
// Enhanced autocomplete with fuzzy matching and caching
class AdvancedAutocomplete {
  constructor(endpoint, options = {}) {
    this.endpoint = endpoint;
    this.cache = new Map();
    this.debounceTimer = null;
    this.options = {
      minLength: 2,
      debounce: 300,
      fuzzy: true,
      ...options
    };
  }

  async search(query) {
    if (query.length < this.options.minLength) return [];

    // Check cache first
    if (this.cache.has(query)) {
      return this.cache.get(query);
    }

    const url = new URL(this.endpoint);
    url.searchParams.set('q', query);
    url.searchParams.set('fuzzy', this.options.fuzzy);
    url.searchParams.set('limit', this.options.limit || 10);

    try {
      const response = await fetch(url);
      const data = await response.json();

      // Cache successful results
      if (data.results) {
        this.cache.set(query, data.results);
      }

      return data.results;
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Autocomplete search failed:', error);
      return [];
    }
  }

  debounceSearch(query, callback) {
    clearTimeout(this.debounceTimer);
    this.debounceTimer = setTimeout(() => {
      this.search(query).then(callback);
    }, this.options.debounce);
  }
}

// Usage
const autocomplete = new AdvancedAutocomplete('/api/authors/advanced_autocomplete/');
autocomplete.debounceSearch('shakespeare', (results) => {
  renderAutocompleteResults(results);
});
```

#### Dynamic Form Builder
```javascript
// Get form structure and build dynamic form
fetch('/api/books/object_dynamic_form/')
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(formFields => {
    const formBuilder = new DynamicFormBuilder(formFields);
    const formHTML = formBuilder.buildForm();
    document.getElementById('dynamic-form').innerHTML = formHTML;

    // Add form validation
    formBuilder.addValidation();

    // Handle conditional fields
    formBuilder.setupConditionalFields();
  });

class DynamicFormBuilder {
  constructor(fields) {
    this.fields = fields;
  }

  buildForm() {
    return Object.entries(this.fields).map(([name, config]) => {
      return this.buildField(name, config);
    }).join('');
  }

  buildField(name, config) {
    const fieldTypes = {
      'text': () => `<input type="text" name="${name}" ${config.required ? 'required' : ''}>`,
      'number': () => `<input type="number" name="${name}" min="${config.min_value || ''}" max="${config.max_value || ''}">`,
      'select': () => this.buildSelect(name, config),
      'autocomplete': () => this.buildAutocomplete(name, config),
      'date': () => `<input type="date" name="${name}">`,
      'checkbox': () => `<input type="checkbox" name="${name}" value="true">`
    };

    const builder = fieldTypes[config.html_type] || fieldTypes['text'];
    return `
      <div class="field-group" data-field="${name}">
        <label for="${name}">${config.label}</label>
        ${builder()}
        ${config.help_text ? `<small>${config.help_text}</small>` : ''}
      </div>
    `;
  }

  buildAutocomplete(name, config) {
    return `
      <input
        type="text"
        name="${name}"
        data-autocomplete-url="${config.url}"
        data-autocomplete-min-length="${config.min_length || 2}"
        placeholder="${config.placeholder || 'Start typing...'}"
      >
      <div class="autocomplete-results" id="${name}-results"></div>
    `;
  }
}
```

#### Advanced Filtering Interface
```javascript
// Build dynamic filter interface
fetch('/api/products/objects_filtering_data/')
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(filterData => {
    const filterBuilder = new DynamicFilterBuilder(filterData.filters);
    const filterHTML = filterBuilder.buildFilters();
    document.getElementById('filters').innerHTML = filterHTML;

    // Setup filter events
    filterBuilder.setupFilterEvents((filters) => {
      applyFilters(filters);
    });
  });

function applyFilters(filters) {
  const url = new URL('/api/products/');

  // Add filter parameters
  Object.entries(filters).forEach(([key, value]) => {
    if (value) url.searchParams.set(key, value);
  });

  fetch(url)
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(data => {
      renderProductList(data.results);
    });
}
```

#### React/Vue.js Integration Example
```jsx
// React component using the dynamic API
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { useDynamicList, useAdvancedAutocomplete, useDynamicFilters } from './hooks';

function ProductList() {
  const {
    data: products,
    loading,
    pagination,
    refresh
  } = useDynamicList('/api/products/', 'compact');

  const {
    filters,
    filterMetadata,
    updateFilter
  } = useDynamicFilters('/api/products/');

  const {
    search: searchProducts,
    results: searchResults,
    loading: searchLoading
  } = useAdvancedAutocomplete('/api/products/advanced_autocomplete/');

  return (
    <div className="product-list">
      <DynamicFilters
        metadata={filterMetadata}
        values={filters}
        onChange={updateFilter}
      />

      <AdvancedSearch
        onSearch={searchProducts}
        results={searchResults}
        loading={searchLoading}
      />

      <DataList
        data={products}
        loading={loading}
        pagination={pagination}
        onRefresh={refresh}
      />
    </div>
  );
}
```

## 🔄 Migration Guide

If you're upgrading from a previous version or migrating from other solutions:

### From Basic DRF Views
```python
# Before: Basic ViewSet
class ProductViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    queryset = Product.objects.all()
    serializer_class = ProductSerializer
    filter_backends = [DjangoFilterBackend]
    filterset_fields = ['category', 'price']

# After: Enhanced with dynamics
class ProductViewSet(DynamicListMixin, AdvancedAutocompleteMixin, DrfDynamicsAPIViewMixin, viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    queryset = Product.objects.all()
    serializer_class = ProductSerializer

    # Rich filter configuration
    filterset_metadata = [
        DrfDynamicsAPIViewMixin.filter_select(title="Category", name="category", choices_class=Product.CategoryChoices),
        DrfDynamicsAPIViewMixin.filter_numeric(title="Price", name="price", operator="gte"),
        DrfDynamicsAPIViewMixin.filter_text_search(title="Search", name="search"),
    ]

    # Dynamic list configurations
    list_configurations = {
        'compact': {'fields': ['id', 'name', 'price'], 'enable_search': True},
        'detailed': {'fields': ['id', 'name', 'description', 'price', 'category'], 'enable_realtime': True}
    }
```
