TRENG+ Documentation
TRENG+ is a next-generation full-stack solution designed to build high-performance, real-time, interactive 3D web applications. By combining powerful frontend 3D rendering with scalable backend services and edge deployments, TRENG+ empowers developers to create immersive digital experiences using a modern, JavaScript-centered ecosystem.
1. Introduction
TRENG+ leverages industry-proven technologies to streamline development across the entire application lifecycle. Its core strengths include:
- High-performance 3D rendering: Using Three.js with React Three Fiber and custom GLSL shaders.
- Unified JavaScript environment: Powered by React/Next.js on the frontend and Node.js (optionally with Express.js) on the backend.
- Enhanced performance with WebAssembly: For compute-intensive operations in both frontend and backend contexts.
- Global edge deployment: With platforms like Fleek, Cloudflare Workers, Netlify, or Vercel.
- Future-proof readiness: Designed to easily embrace emerging technologies such as WebGPU.
2. Core Technologies
The TRENG+ stack consists of a powerful combination of frontend, backend, and additional components that enable smooth development and deployment:
Frontend
- Three.js: Provides cutting-edge WebGL rendering for interactive 3D scenes.
- React.js / Next.js: For building dynamic, component-based user interfaces with optional server-side rendering (SSR) and static site generation (SSG).
- React Three Fiber & Drei: Seamlessly integrate Three.js into React using a declarative approach. Offers a declarative, component-based approach to building and animating 3D scenes.
- GLSL: Custom shaders to create unique visual effects and fine-tuned graphics.
- WebAssembly (WASM): Enhances performance for compute-intensive tasks (e.g., complex 3D rendering and simulations).
Backend
- Next.js: API routes are serverless functions that can be used to fetch data, handle authentication, and more
- Node.js: An event-driven runtime for scalable server-side logic.
- Express.js (Optional): A lightweight framework to create robust APIs and custom middleware if more advanced routing or server logic is needed.
- WebAssembly (WASM): Accelerates performance-critical tasks. In TRENG+, WASM can be integrated on the backend (with Node.js) for operations like image processing or data crunching.
Additional Components
- State Management: Use tools like Redux, XState, or Zustand for managing complex UI states.
- Security: Built-in features such as JWT authentication, rate limiting, and WebSocket security.
- Cloud Edge Computing: Deploy globally using Fleek, Cloudflare Workers, Netlify, or Vercel for low-latency performance.
- Future-Proofing with WebGPU: TRENG+ is structured to evolve as WebGPU becomes mainstream, offering native GPU-accelerated rendering.
3. Ideal Use Cases
- Real-Time 3D Applications
- Data Visualization Dashboards
- Metaverse & AR/VR Projects
- AI-Driven Interactive Experiences
- Global Applications with Edge Computing
4. Getting Started
Prerequisites
- Node.js and npm: Install the latest LTS version from nodejs.org.
- Code Editor: Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, or any modern editor.
- Git/GitHub Actions: For source control and CI/CD integration.
Step-by-Step Setup
- Clone the TRENG+ Repository:
git clone the starter repo
- Install Dependencies:
# Frontend cd frontend npm install # Backend cd ../backend npm install
- Configure Environment Variables: Create a
.env
file in the backend directory for configuration (e.g., API keys, port numbers). - Run the Application:
# Start the backend npm run dev # Start the frontend (if using Next.js) npm run dev
- Verify Installation: Open your browser at the designated URL (e.g., http://localhost:3000) to see the application running.
5. Code Documentation and Testing
Good code documentation and rigorous testing are essential parts of building maintainable, scalable software.
Inline Documentation
- Use JSDoc comments to annotate functions, classes, and modules. This improves maintainability and generates API documentation.
- Adopt clear, descriptive naming conventions and avoid overly “clever” code. Favor expressive code so that comments serve as supplementary explanations rather than a replacement for clarity.
Testing and TDD
- Integrate testing frameworks (e.g., Jest for unit tests, React Testing Library for UI tests).
- Write tests concurrently with feature development (Test-Driven Development, TDD) to serve as living documentation.
6. Troubleshooting and FAQs
Common Issues
- Environment Configuration: Verify your
.env
file settings. Missing API keys or incorrect port settings can cause startup failures. - Dependency Conflicts: Run
npm install
in each directory and check versions for compatibility. - WASM Integration: Ensure that WASM modules are correctly compiled and loaded (check browser console and Node.js logs).
- Routing Issues: Confirm that Next.js API routes or Express routes are correctly registered.
7. Database Integration
Supported Databases
TRENG+ offers seamless integration with a variety of databases for both relational and non-relational models including but not limited to:
- SQL Databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL)
- NoSQL Databases (e.g., MongoDB, Firebase)
- Real-Time Databases (e.g., Redis, Firebase)
- Graph Databases (e.g., Neo4j)
Database Setup
- Install the necessary database server (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, etc.) on your machine or use a cloud-based solution like AWS RDS or MongoDB Atlas.
- Configure database connections in the
.env
file. Sample entries: - Run the migration scripts (if applicable) to set up the schema.
DATABASE_URL=postgres://user:password@localhost:5432/database_name
MONGO_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/database_name
# For PostgreSQL or MySQL
npm run migrate
# For MongoDB, manually seed data as needed
