# Candle Annotator - Project Description
## Project Overview
Candle Annotator is a web-based tool for manually annotating candlestick charts with pattern labels and trend lines. It's designed for traders and ML researchers creating labeled training datasets for trading algorithm development.
**Current Version**: 2.0.0 (Major feature release with label management, hacker theme, and Docker support)
## Recent Changes (v2.0.0)
### Label Management System
- **Label Sidebar**: Comprehensive collapsible sidebar showing all Break Up and Break Down annotations
- **Click Selection**: Click markers on chart or list items to select/highlight them
- **Keyboard Delete**: Press Delete or Backspace to remove selected label
- **Search & Filter**: Search by timestamp, filter by type, count display
- **Individual Delete**: Per-item trash button for quick removal
- **Visual Feedback**: Selected markers display with increased size and bright glow
### Hacker Theme
- **Color Scheme**: Matrix green (#00ff41) on dark background (#0a0e0a)
- **Typography**: Monospace font (JetBrains Mono with fallbacks)
- **Effects**: Glow effects on button hover, pulsing animations for active tools
- **Details**: Custom scrollbars, selection highlighting, terminal aesthetic
- **Accessibility**: High contrast meeting WCAG AA standards
### Docker Deployment
- **Multi-stage Build**: Optimized Dockerfile with ~100MB final image
- **Persistence**: Named volume for SQLite database across restarts
- **Health Check**: Built-in /api/health endpoint for container health
- **Security**: Non-root user (nextjs:1001) for safe execution
- **Convenience**: docker-compose.yml for one-command deployment
### API Enhancements
- **Bulk Delete**: DELETE /api/annotations?type=break_up,break_down for batch operations
- **Health Endpoint**: GET /api/health with optional database check (?check=db)
- **Existing DELETE /api/annotations/[id]**: Handles individual label deletion
## Technical Stack
### Frontend
- **Framework**: Next.js 16 (App Router)
- **UI Library**: React 19
- **Language**: TypeScript 5
- **Styling**: Tailwind CSS 3 + shadcn/ui components
- **Charting**: lightweight-charts v4 (TradingView fork)
- **Icons**: lucide-react
### Backend
- **Runtime**: Node.js 18.x
- **API**: Next.js API Routes
- **Database**: SQLite with better-sqlite3
- **ORM**: Drizzle ORM
- **CSV**: papaparse
### DevOps
- **Containerization**: Docker with multi-stage builds
- **Orchestration**: docker-compose
- **Build**: Next.js standalone output mode
- **Monitoring**: Health check via wget
## Core Features
### Annotation Tools
1. **Break Up Labels**: Click marker on candle to add upward breakout label
2. **Break Down Labels**: Click marker on candle to add downward breakout label
3. **Trend Lines**: Two-click drawing with SVG overlay for custom trend lines
4. **Delete Tool**: Remove any annotation by clicking it
### Data Management
- **CSV Upload**: Import OHLC data (time, open, high, low, close)
- **Persistent Storage**: SQLite database stores all annotations
- **CSV Export**: Download labeled data for ML training
### UI Components
- **Toolbox**: Left sidebar with tool buttons, color picker, label management
- **CandleChart**: Main chart area with interactive candlestick visualization
- **FileUpload**: Drag-and-drop CSV file upload
- **Label Sidebar**: Collapsible section with annotation list, search, filter

## State Management
### Page Component (src/app/page.tsx)
- `activeTool`: Current selected tool (break_up, break_down, line, delete)
- `selectedColor`: Color for trend lines
- `selectedLabelId`: Currently selected label marker (null if none)
- `annotations`: Array of all annotations for sidebar
### CandleChart Component
- Fetches candles and annotations from API
- Renders markers with highlight for selectedLabelId
- Handles click events for annotation creation and selection
- Exposes refreshData() method for parent updates
### Toolbox Component
- `labelsExpanded`: Sidebar collapsed/expanded state
- `searchText`: Search query for timestamp filtering
- `filterType`: Label type filter (all, break_up, break_down)
- Renders label list with click selection and delete buttons
## Data Flow
1. **Initialization**:
- Page mounts → fetch /api/candles + /api/annotations
- CandleChart renders with data
2. **Add Label**:
- User clicks Break Up/Break Down tool
- Clicks on chart candle
- POST /api/annotations
- Chart refreshes automatically
3. **Select Label**:
- User clicks marker on chart OR list item in sidebar
- Updates selectedLabelId state
- CandleChart re-renders marker with highlight
- Sidebar highlights matching list item
4. **Delete Label**:
- Option A: Select label + press Delete key
- Option B: Click trash icon in sidebar list
- DELETE /api/annotations/[id]
- Annotations array updated
- Chart refreshes
5. **Export**:
- User clicks Export CSV button
- GET /api/export downloads CSV file
## API Endpoints
### Data Operations
- `POST /api/upload` - Upload CSV with candle data
- `GET /api/candles` - Fetch all candles
- `GET /api/annotations` - Fetch all annotations
- `POST /api/annotations` - Create label
- `DELETE /api/annotations/[id]` - Delete label
- `DELETE /api/annotations?type=break_up,break_down` - Bulk delete by type
- `GET /api/export` - Download CSV export
### Monitoring
- `GET /api/health` - Health check
- `GET /api/health?check=db` - Health check with database verification
## Development Workflow
### Adding Features
1. Update CandleChart/Toolbox components for UI
2. Add API route in src/app/api/ if needed
3. Update state management in page.tsx
4. Test in browser with `npm run dev`
5. Commit with clear message
### Fixing Bugs
1. Locate issue in component or API route
2. Add console.logs or debugger for investigation
3. Write minimal fix
4. Test across all annotation types
5. Commit with bug fix message
### Deployment
1. Test locally: `npm run dev`
2. Build production: `npm run build`
3. Commit changes
4. Docker deploy: `docker-compose up --build -d`
## Known Constraints
- **Single User**: No authentication, local data only
- **No Undo**: Annotations can only be deleted, not undone
- **SQLite Limits**: Not for concurrent multi-user access
- **Memory**: Large CSV files (100k+ rows) slow performance
- **Lines**: Free-form drawing, no snap-to-candle
## Customization Points
### Theme Colors
Edit CSS variables in src/app/globals.css (matrix green to desired color)
### Chart Appearance
- Candlestick colors: CandleChart.tsx line 119-120
- Grid colors: line 96-98
- Font: globals.css body element
### API Routes
- Validation rules: src/app/api/*/route.ts
- Database operations: Use Drizzle ORM syntax
### UI Components
- Button styles: src/components/ui/button.tsx
- Sidebar layout: src/components/Toolbox.tsx
## Performance Notes
- **Chart rendering**: lightweight-charts optimized, 60fps target
- **SVG lines**: Only visible SVG redrawn, minimal overhead
- **Database**: SQLite async operations in server routes only
- **Frontend**: React memoization for chart component
## Security Considerations
- **Input validation**: File upload checks MIME type
- **SQL injection**: Drizzle ORM parameterized queries
- **CORS**: API routes served same-origin only
- **Docker**: Non-root user (nextjs:1001) for container execution
