# Image Studio: Quick Integration Guide

## 🎉 Phase 1, Module 1 (Create Studio) - BACKEND COMPLETE!

**Status**: Backend fully implemented and ready for use  
**What's Done**: ✅ Backend services, ✅ API endpoints, ✅ WaveSpeed provider, ✅ Templates  
**What's Next**: Frontend component integration

---

## 🚀 Quick Start (3 Steps)

### Step 1: Add Environment Variable

Add to your `.env` file:
```bash
WAVESPEED_API_KEY=your_wavespeed_api_key_here
```

### Step 2: Register Router

Add to `backend/app.py`:
```python
from routers import image_studio

app.include_router(image_studio.router)
```

### Step 3: Test the API

```bash
# Health check
curl http://localhost:8000/api/image-studio/health

# Get templates
curl http://localhost:8000/api/image-studio/templates \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

# Generate image
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/image-studio/create \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "Modern coffee shop interior",
    "template_id": "instagram_feed_square",
    "quality": "premium"
  }'
```

That's it! The backend is ready to use.

## 🎨 Frontend Integration (Next Step)

### What to Build

Create a React component at: `frontend/src/components/ImageStudio/CreateStudio.tsx`

### Component Structure

```typescript
import React, { useState } from 'react';

interface CreateStudioProps {
  // Your props
}

export const CreateStudio: React.FC<CreateStudioProps> = () => {
  const [prompt, setPrompt] = useState('');
  const [templateId, setTemplateId] = useState<string | null>(null);
  const [quality, setQuality] = useState<'draft' | 'standard' | 'premium'>('standard');
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false);
  const [results, setResults] = useState<any[]>([]);

  // Fetch templates on mount
  useEffect(() => {
    fetchTemplates();
  }, []);

  const fetchTemplates = async () => {
    const response = await fetch('/api/image-studio/templates');
    const data = await response.json();
    setTemplates(data.templates);
  };

  const generateImage = async () => {
    setLoading(true);
    try {
      const response = await fetch('/api/image-studio/create', {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
        body: JSON.stringify({
          prompt,
          template_id: templateId,
          quality,
          num_variations: 1
        })
      });
      const data = await response.json();
      setResults(data.results);
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Generation failed:', error);
    } finally {
      setLoading(false);
    }
  };

  return (
    <div className="create-studio">
      <h2>Create Studio</h2>
      
      {/* Template Selector */}
      <TemplateSelector 
        templates={templates} 
        selected={templateId}
        onSelect={setTemplateId}
      />
      
      {/* Prompt Input */}
      <textarea
        value={prompt}
        onChange={(e) => setPrompt(e.target.value)}
        placeholder="Describe your image..."
      />
      
      {/* Quality Selector */}
      <select value={quality} onChange={(e) => setQuality(e.target.value)}>
        <option value="draft">Draft (Fast)</option>
        <option value="standard">Standard</option>
        <option value="premium">Premium (Best Quality)</option>
      </select>
      
      {/* Generate Button */}
      <button onClick={generateImage} disabled={loading || !prompt}>
        {loading ? 'Generating...' : 'Generate Image'}
      </button>
      
      {/* Results */}
      {results.map((result, idx) => (
        <img 
          key={idx}
          src={`data:image/png;base64,${result.image_base64}`}
          alt={`Generated ${idx + 1}`}
        />
      ))}
    </div>
  );
};
```

### Key UI Elements Needed

1. **Template Selector**: Grid or dropdown of templates
2. **Prompt Input**: Textarea with character counter
3. **Provider Selector**: Optional, defaults to "auto"
4. **Quality Selector**: Draft, Standard, Premium
5. **Advanced Options**: Collapsible section for dimensions, style, negative prompt
6. **Cost Display**: Show estimated cost before generation
7. **Generate Button**: Prominent CTA
8. **Results Gallery**: Display generated images
9. **Download/Save**: Actions for generated images

## 🔥 Quick Demo Script

```bash
# 1. Set environment variable
export WAVESPEED_API_KEY=your_key_here

# 2. Start backend
cd backend
python app.py

# 3. Test health
curl http://localhost:8000/api/image-studio/health

# 4. Get Instagram templates
curl http://localhost:8000/api/image-studio/templates?platform=instagram | jq

# 5. Generate an image (replace YOUR_TOKEN)
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/image-studio/create \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "Modern coffee shop interior, cozy and inviting",
    "template_id": "instagram_feed_square",
    "quality": "standard",
    "num_variations": 1
  }' | jq

# 6. View result (image will be in base64)
# Copy the image_base64 value and decode it or use an online base64 decoder
```

## 💡 Pro Tips

1. **Start Simple**: Build basic UI first (prompt + button), add features incrementally
2. **Use Templates**: Template system makes it easy - let users pick template instead of dimensions
3. **Show Costs**: Always display estimated cost before generation
4. **Handle Errors**: Wrap API calls in try-catch, show user-friendly messages
5. **Loading States**: Show spinner/progress during generation (takes 2-10 seconds)
6. **Cache Templates**: Fetch templates once, cache in component state
7. **Auto-Save**: Save generated images to asset library automatically
8. **Keyboard Shortcuts**: Cmd/Ctrl+Enter to generate, Cmd/Ctrl+S to save

## 🆘 Need Help?

### Common Issues

**Issue**: `WAVESPEED_API_KEY not found`  
**Solution**: Add to `.env` file and restart backend

**Issue**: `Router not found`  
**Solution**: Add `app.include_router(image_studio.router)` to `app.py`

**Issue**: `Templates not loading`  
**Solution**: Check `/api/image-studio/health` endpoint first

**Issue**: `Image generation fails`  
**Solution**: Check logs for provider-specific errors, verify API keys
