PCB Board Viewer Frontend Client Implementation
PCB Board Viewer Frontend Client Implementation
Overview
This is the master tracking issue for implementing a modern web-based PCB board viewer frontend client for the OdbDesignServer REST API. The viewer will utilize the tscircuit TypeScript library for high-quality PCB rendering and provide a professional-grade user experience.
Project Goals
- Create a modern React + TypeScript frontend application
- Integrate with existing OdbDesignServer REST API
- Use tscircuit library for PCB rendering
- Provide professional-grade PCB visualization tools
- Support file upload, layer management, and interactive features
Technology Stack
- Frontend: Vite + React 18 + TypeScript
- Rendering: tscircuit library
- Styling: Tailwind CSS + Radix UI
- API: Axios with TypeScript types
- State Management: Zustand
