The useDeployment hook provides access to the current deployment configuration, including UI settings, backend endpoints, and platform adapter configuration.

​
Import

import { useDeployment } from '@snipextt/wacht';

​
Usage

import { useDeployment } from '@snipextt/wacht';

function DeploymentInfo() {
  const { deployment, loading, adapter } = useDeployment();

  if (loading) {
    return <div>Loading deployment configuration...</div>;
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <h2>Deployment Info</h2>
      <p>Mode: {deployment.mode}</p>
      <p>Frontend Host: {deployment.frontend_host}</p>
      <p>Backend Host: {deployment.backend_host}</p>
      <p>Sign In URL: {deployment.ui_settings.sign_in_page_url}</p>
    </div>
  );
}

​
Properties

​
deployment
Deployment
The deployment configuration object containing all deployment-specific settings.
​
loading
boolean
Whether the deployment configuration is still being loaded. true during initialization.
​
adapter
PlatformAdapter
The platform-specific adapter for routing and navigation (Next.js, React Router, etc.).

​
Deployment Object

The deployment object contains the following configuration:

​
Basic Configuration

​
mode
string
Deployment mode: ‘production’ or ‘staging’
​
frontend_host
string
The frontend application URL
​
backend_host
string
The backend API URL

​
UI Settings

​
ui_settings
UISettings
UI configuration including page URLs and customization options
interface UISettings {
  sign_in_page_url: string;
  sign_up_page_url: string;
  // Additional UI configuration
}

​
Examples

​
Conditional Rendering Based on Mode

function EnvironmentBanner() {
  const { deployment } = useDeployment();

  if (deployment.mode === 'staging') {
    return (
      <div className="staging-banner">
        <p>=� This is a staging environment</p>
      </div>
    );
  }

  return null;
}

​
Using UI Settings

function AuthenticationButtons() {
  const { deployment } = useDeployment();

  const navigateToSignIn = () => {
    window.location.href = deployment.ui_settings.sign_in_page_url;
  };

  const navigateToSignUp = () => {
    window.location.href = deployment.ui_settings.sign_up_page_url;
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={navigateToSignIn}>
        Sign In
      </button>
      <button onClick={navigateToSignUp}>
        Sign Up
      </button>
    </div>
  );
}

​
Platform Adapter Usage

function NavigationComponent() {
  const { adapter } = useDeployment();

  const handleNavigation = (path) => {
    const navigate = adapter.useNavigate();
    if (navigate) {
      // Use platform-specific navigation
      navigate(path);
    } else {
      // Fallback to window.location
      window.location.href = path;
    }
  };

  return (
    <nav>
      <button onClick={() => handleNavigation('/dashboard')}>
        Dashboard
      </button>
      <button onClick={() => handleNavigation('/profile')}>
        Profile
      </button>
    </nav>
  );
}

​
Building Dynamic URLs

function DynamicLinks() {
  const { deployment } = useDeployment();

  const buildApiUrl = (endpoint) => {
    return `${deployment.backend_host}${endpoint}`;
  };

  const buildAppUrl = (path) => {
    return `${deployment.frontend_host}${path}`;
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <p>API Base: {deployment.backend_host}</p>
      <p>App Base: {deployment.frontend_host}</p>
      <a href={buildAppUrl('/dashboard')}>
        Dashboard
      </a>
    </div>
  );
}

​
Custom Hook with Deployment

function useEnvironmentConfig() {
  const { deployment, loading } = useDeployment();

  const config = useMemo(() => {
    if (!deployment) return null;

    return {
      isProduction: deployment.mode === 'production',
      isStaging: deployment.mode === 'staging',
      apiBaseUrl: deployment.backend_host,
      appBaseUrl: deployment.frontend_host,
      authUrls: {
        signIn: deployment.ui_settings.sign_in_page_url,
        signUp: deployment.ui_settings.sign_up_page_url
      }
    };
  }, [deployment]);

  return {
    config,
    loading
  };
}

​
Error Boundary with Deployment Info

function DeploymentErrorBoundary({ children }) {
  const { deployment } = useDeployment();

  return (
    <ErrorBoundary
      fallback={({ error }) => (
        <div className="error-page">
          <h1>Something went wrong</h1>
          <p>Error: {error.message}</p>
          {deployment?.mode === 'staging' && (
            <details>
              <summary>Debug Info</summary>
              <pre>{JSON.stringify(deployment, null, 2)}</pre>
            </details>
          )}
        </div>
      )}
    >
      {children}
    </ErrorBoundary>
  );
}

​
Error Handling

The hook will throw an error if:
  • Used outside of a DeploymentProvider
  • Deployment configuration fails to load
  • Required deployment properties are missing
function SafeDeploymentUsage() {
  try {
    const { deployment, loading } = useDeployment();
    
    if (loading) {
      return <div>Loading...</div>;
    }
    
    return <div>Deployment: {deployment.mode}</div>;
  } catch (error) {
    return (
      <div>
        Failed to load deployment configuration: {error.message}
      </div>
    );
  }
}

​
Notes

  • The deployment configuration is loaded once during app initialization
  • All other hooks depend on this configuration being available
  • The platform adapter provides routing abstraction for different frameworks
  • UI settings contain URLs for authentication pages and other configurable endpoints
  • Staging mode enables additional debugging features and development tools
  • The deployment object is immutable during the application lifecycle
