A visual editor for creating Information Delivery Specifications (IDS) files with automatic validation.

• Visual Graph Editor: Drag-and-drop interface for creating IDS specifications
• Real-time Validation: Automatic IDS validation using the IfcTester-Service API
• Multiple Node Types: Support for all IDS facet types (Entity, Property, Attribute, Classification, Material, PartOf, Restriction)
• Template System: Pre-built specification templates
• Export/Import: Save and load canvas configurations
• IDS XML Export: Generate compliant IDS XML files

1. Clone the repository

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd idsedit

2. Install dependencies

   npm install

3. Configure environment

   cp .env.example .env.local

   Update .env.local with your IfcTester-Service configuration:

   NEXT_PUBLIC_IDS_AUDIT_API_URL=https://your-service.run.app
   IDS_AUDIT_API_KEY=your-api-key-here

4. Run the development server

   npm run dev

   Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser.

The application automatically validates your IDS specifications using the IfcTester-Service API:

• Automatic Validation: Validates 2 seconds after you stop editing
• Manual Validation: Click "Validate Now" in the Inspector Panel
• Status Indicators:
  • ✅ Valid IDS - No errors
  • ⚠️ Issues found - Check the status message
  • ❌ Error - Validation failed or service unavailable

1. Create a Specification: Add a specification node from the palette
2. Add Applicability: Connect entity, classification, or other facet nodes to the specification's applicability handle
3. Add Requirements: Connect property, attribute, or other facet nodes to the specification's requirements handle
4. Configure Nodes: Select nodes to edit their properties in the Inspector Panel
5. Validate: The system automatically validates your IDS structure
6. Export: Use the export button to download your IDS as XML

• Specification: Main container for IDS specifications
• Entity: IFC entity types (e.g., IfcWall, IfcDoor)
• Property: Property sets and properties
• Attribute: IFC attributes (Name, Description, etc.)
• Classification: Classification systems (Uniclass, ETIM, etc.)
• Material: Material specifications
• PartOf: Spatial relationships
• Restriction: Value constraints (enumeration, pattern, bounds, length)

• components/specification-editor.tsx - Main editor component
• components/inspector-panel.tsx - Property editor and validation display
• lib/ids-xml-converter.ts - Graph to IDS XML conversion
• lib/use-ids-validation.ts - Validation hook
• app/api/validate-ids/route.ts - API proxy for validation

1. Create the node component in components/nodes/
2. Add the node type to lib/graph-types.ts
3. Update getDefaultNodeData() in specification-editor.tsx
4. Add field editor in inspector-panel.tsx
5. Update XML converter in ids-xml-converter.ts
