# **📜 Project Outline: Digital Calibration Certificate (DCC) Viewer**
🚀 **Goal:** Develop a fully **client-side** TypeScript application for visualizing, analyzing, and interacting with **Digital Calibration Certificates (DCC)**.
-[ ] [Create](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/repository/web_editor.html#create-a-file) or [upload](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/repository/web_editor.html#upload-a-file) files
## **📌 Features & Objectives**
-[ ] [Add files using the command line](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/gitlab-basics/add-file.html#add-a-file-using-the-command-line) or push an existing Git repository with the following command:
### **1️⃣ XML Parsing & Data Handling**
- 📂 **Load XML files** using `<input type="file">`.
- 🔄 **Convert XML → JSON** (`xml2js`).
- 🔗 **Store elements with `id` in `idRegistry.ts`** for easy lookup.
- 🏷️ **Resolve `refID` references dynamically** across components.
### **2️⃣ UI Rendering & Components**
- 📊 **Data visualization with Plotly.js** (e.g., charge transfer coefficients, uncertainty).
- 📋 **Tabular representation with DataTables.js**.
- 📜 **Expandable/collapsible sections** for hierarchical data.
- 🌍 **Localization support** (show only preferred language).
- 🎨 **Dark mode/light mode toggle**.
### **3️⃣ Interactive Features**
- 📁 **Drag & Drop XML Upload**.
- 🔍 **Search & Filter DCC elements**.
- 🖱️ **Click to view referenced elements (`refID`)**.
-[ ] [Set up project integrations](https://gitlab1.ptb.de/Seeger/dccviewertypescript/-/settings/integrations)

## 📦 Installation & Setup
-[ ] [Analyze your code for known vulnerabilities with Static Application Security Testing (SAST)](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/sast/)
### **1️⃣ Install Dependencies**
-[ ] [Deploy to Kubernetes, Amazon EC2, or Amazon ECS using Auto Deploy](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/requirements.html)
```sh
-[ ] [Use pull-based deployments for improved Kubernetes management](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/clusters/agent/)
npm install
-[ ] [Set up protected environments](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/environments/protected_environments.html)
```
### **2️⃣ Run Locally**

or serve via a local HTTP server:
When you're ready to make this README your own, just edit this file and use the handy template below (or feel free to structure it however you want - this is just a starting point!). Thanks to [makeareadme.com](https://www.makeareadme.com/) for this template.
```sh
npx http-server public
```
## Suggestions for a good README
---
Every project is different, so consider which of these sections apply to yours. The sections used in the template are suggestions for most open source projects. Also keep in mind that while a README can be too long and detailed, too long is better than too short. If you think your README is too long, consider utilizing another form of documentation rather than cutting out information.

## Name
---
Choose a self-explaining name for your project.
## Description
## 🚀 Usage
Let people know what your project can do specifically. Provide context and add a link to any reference visitors might be unfamiliar with. A list of Features or a Background subsection can also be added here. If there are alternatives to your project, this is a good place to list differentiating factors.
1. Open **`index.html`** in a browser.
2. Click **"Upload XML"** to load a DCC file.
3. Explore **linked elements**, **localized texts**, and **visualizations**.
## Badges
---
On some READMEs, you may see small images that convey metadata, such as whether or not all the tests are passing for the project. You can use Shields to add some to your README. Many services also have instructions for adding a badge.
## Visuals
## 🛠 Technologies Used
Depending on what you are making, it can be a good idea to include screenshots or even a video (you'll frequently see GIFs rather than actual videos). Tools like ttygif can help, but check out Asciinema for a more sophisticated method.
- **TypeScript** (Type Safety)
- **xml2js** (XML → JSON Conversion)
- **Plotly.js** (Interactive Plots)
- **DataTables.js** (Filterable Tables)
- **Vite** (Development Server)
- **CSS/HTML** (Basic UI Styling)
## Installation
---
Within a particular ecosystem, there may be a common way of installing things, such as using Yarn, NuGet, or Homebrew. However, consider the possibility that whoever is reading your README is a novice and would like more guidance. Listing specific steps helps remove ambiguity and gets people to using your project as quickly as possible. If it only runs in a specific context like a particular programming language version or operating system or has dependencies that have to be installed manually, also add a Requirements subsection.
## Usage
## 📊 Interactive Features
Use examples liberally, and show the expected output if you can. It's helpful to have inline the smallest example of usage that you can demonstrate, while providing links to more sophisticated examples if they are too long to reasonably include in the README.
| Feature | Description |
|---------|------------|
| 📂 XML Parsing | Load DCC, store it in global state |
| 🌍 Localization | Show only elements in preferred language |
| 🔗 ID Linking | Resolve `refID` dynamically |
| 📊 Plots | Render line charts, histograms using Plotly |
| 📋 Tables | Sort, filter, paginate data using DataTables |
| 🎨 Dark Mode | Switch between light/dark themes |
## Support
---
Tell people where they can go to for help. It can be any combination of an issue tracker, a chat room, an email address, etc.
## Roadmap
## 🛠 Future Improvements
If you have ideas for releases in the future, it is a good idea to list them in the README.
- ✅ **Additional Graph Types**
- ✅ **Export Graphs as Images**
- ✅ **Drag & Drop XML Upload**
- ✅ **LocalStorage for Preferences**
## Contributing
---
State if you are open to contributions and what your requirements are for accepting them.
For people who want to make changes to your project, it's helpful to have some documentation on how to get started. Perhaps there is a script that they should run or some environment variables that they need to set. Make these steps explicit. These instructions could also be useful to your future self.
## 📜 License
MIT License
```
You can also document commands to lint the code or run tests. These steps help to ensure high code quality and reduce the likelihood that the changes inadvertently break something. Having instructions for running tests is especially helpful if it requires external setup, such as starting a Selenium server for testing in a browser.

## Authors and acknowledgment
## **🚀 Next Steps**
Show your appreciation to those who have contributed to the project.
5.**Add Global Language Toggle & Theme Switcher**.
## License
---
For open source projects, say how it is licensed.
## Project status
### **💡 Does this refactored structure match your vision?** 😃
If you have run out of energy or time for your project, put a note at the top of the README saying that development has slowed down or stopped completely. Someone may choose to fork your project or volunteer to step in as a maintainer or owner, allowing your project to keep going. You can also make an explicit request for maintainers.
