Technical Implementation

Stack & Architecture

• Next.js 14 with App Router for modern React patterns
• TypeScript with strict mode for type safety
• Tailwind CSS v3 for responsive styling
• Radix UI / shadcn/ui for accessible components
• Zod for runtime data validation
• Vitest + Testing Library for unit tests

Data Structure
All tournament data is stored in validated JSON files:

// data/matches.json
{
  "id": "mx-001",
  "dateUTC": "2026-06-11T19:00:00Z",
  "stage": "Fase de Grupos",
  "group": "A",
  "home": "MEX",
  "away": "ARG",
  "venue": "estadio-azteca"
}

Quality & Testing

• ✅ All tests passing (5/5 test cases)
• ✅ TypeScript strict mode compliance
• ✅ ESLint validation with zero errors
• ✅ Data validation with Zod schemas
• ✅ 32 static pages generated successfully

CI/CD Pipeline
Automated GitHub Actions workflow that:

1. Validates data files
2. Runs linting checks
3. Performs TypeScript compilation
4. Executes test suite
5. Builds static site
6. Deploys to GitHub Pages

Accessibility & SEO

• WCAG 2.1 AA compliant with proper contrast ratios, focus indicators, and keyboard navigation
• Semantic HTML with proper heading hierarchy
• ARIA labels for interactive elements and live regions
• Open Graph and Twitter Card metadata for social sharing
• Sitemap and robots.txt for search engines
• Web manifest for PWA-like experience

Screenshots

Homepage with Real-time Countdown

The homepage features a hero section with tournament information, a large countdown timer, quick access cards, and upcoming matches.

Fixtures Page with Interactive Filters

The fixtures page allows users to filter matches by phase and group, with real-time client-side filtering. Here showing only Group A matches after clicking the filter.

Deployment

The site is configured for automatic deployment to GitHub Pages:

1. Enable GitHub Pages: Go to Settings → Pages → Source: GitHub Actions
2. Automatic Deployment: Pushes to main trigger the deployment workflow
3. Live URL: https://ppiova.github.io/VSCodeDevDaysLatam/

See DEPLOYMENT.md for detailed instructions.

Data Management

Update tournament data by editing JSON files in the /data directory:

# Validate your changes
npm run validate-data

# Commit and push - site deploys automatically
git add data/
git commit -m "Update match data"
git push origin main

Important Configuration Notes

⚠️ Tournament Start Date: Currently set to 2026-06-11T16:00:00Z in lib/constants.ts. This should be updated when FIFA confirms the official start date.

The constant is clearly marked with a TODO comment for easy discovery:

// TODO: Confirm the official start date for the World Cup 2026
export const TOURNAMENT_START_UTC = "2026-06-11T16:00:00Z";

Running Locally

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Start development server
npm run dev

# Run tests
npm run test

# Build for production
npm run build

Future Enhancements

The architecture supports easy extension for:

• Migration to external FIFA API (see README for migration guide)
• Additional languages (i18n structure in place)
• Team rosters and player information
• Live score updates during tournament
• Push notifications for match reminders

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• fonts.googleapis.com
  • Triggering command: /usr/local/bin/node /home/REDACTED/work/VSCodeDevDaysLatam/VSCodeDevDaysLatam/node_modules/next/dist/compiled/jest-worker/processChild.js (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

Original prompt

Quiero que crees una web pública centrada en el Mundial de Fútbol 2026 (fixtures, fechas, sedes/lugares y equipos). La página principal debe mostrar un countdown de días (y horas/minutos) restantes para el inicio del torneo.
Entrega el proyecto completo en un repositorio nuevo y déjalo deployado en GitHub Pages.

Objetivo y alcance

Sitio informativo con:

Inicio: hero + countdown al inicio del Mundial, CTA a fixtures, búsqueda rápida.

Fixtures: calendario por fase, grupo y fecha; detalle de partido (equipos, sede, hora local).

Sedes: lista de ciudades/estadios con ficha (capacidad, ubicación, mapa embebido opcional).

Equipos: grid por confederación/grupo con ficha de selección (bandera, plantel opcional).

Acerca/FAQ: fuente de datos, créditos y notas legales.

Idioma por defecto: español (es-AR); preparar i18n para fácil futuro soporte en inglés.

Accesible (WCAG AA), responsive (mobile-first), con buen SEO y metadatos sociales.

Requisitos técnicos

Stack: Next.js 14 (App Router) + TypeScript + TailwindCSS.

UI components accesibles (Radix/shadcn) y iconos (lucide-react).

Estado ligero con React Server Components y/o Zustand para filtros (sin overengineering).

Datos: por ahora usa archivos JSON estáticos en /data con estructura limpia; deja un README explicando cómo actualizar a una API pública más adelante.

Fecha de inicio: crea una constante TOURNAMENT_START_UTC en lib/constants.ts (ejemplo: "2026-06-XXT00:00:00Z"). Añade un TODO visible para confirmar la fecha oficial.

Countdown: componente con SSR + client hydration, tick en tiempo real cada segundo, y prueba unitaria básica.

Rutas:

/ (home con countdown)

/fixtures (lista + filtros por fase, grupo, sede, fecha; vista calendario/tabla)

/fixtures/[matchId]

/sedes y /sedes/[slug]

/equipos y /equipos/[code]

/acerca

Filtros & UX: búsqueda por equipo/ciudad/estadio; chips de fase (grupos, 16avos/8vos, cuartos, semi, 3° puesto, final); paginación o virtualización si hace falta.

Formato de fechas: mostrar en hora local del usuario con fallback a horario de la sede; usar Intl.DateTimeFormat('es-AR', …) y timeZone por sede.

Accesibilidad: contrastes, focus rings, navegación por teclado, aria-live para el countdown, alt en banderas/escudos.

SEO: next-seo, sitemap, robots.txt, Open Graph/Twitter cards, títulos y descripciones únicas.

Rendimiento: imágenes optimizadas con next/image; lazy loading donde tenga sentido; eslint, prettier.

Diseño

Look & feel limpio: tipografía sans, cards con sombras suaves y bordes rounded-2xl, layout en grid.

Paleta neutra + acentos en un color (verde/azul) y modo oscuro con class-based theming.

En home: hero con background sutil, contador grande, y tres shortcuts (Fixtures, Sedes, Equipos).

Estructura de datos (ejemplo en /data)

teams.json

[
{ "code": "ARG", "name": "Argentina", "group": "C", "confed": "CONMEBOL", "flag": "/flags/ARG.png" }
]

venues.json

[
{ "slug": "estadio-azteca", "name": "Estadio Azteca", "city": "Ciudad de México", "country": "México", "capacity": 87000, "tz": "America/Mexico_City" }
]

matches.json

[
{ "id": "mx-001", "dateUTC": "2026-06-XXT19:00:00Z", "stage": "Group A", "group": "A",
"home": "MEX", "away": "X", "venue": "estadio-azteca"
}
]

Incluye scripts de validación de schema (Zod) en scripts/validate-data.ts.

Páginas y componentes mínimos

app/page.tsx: Hero + + tarjetas de acceso rápido + “Próximos partidos”.

app/fixtures/page.tsx: tabla con filtros (fase, grupo, sede, fecha); client component para filtrado.

Calidad, pruebas y CI

Tests: vitest + @testing-library/react para y filtrado de fixtures.

Lints: ESLint + Prettier + tsconfig estricto.

CI: GitHub Actions (Node LTS) con jobs: install → lint → typecheck → test → build → deploy (Pages).

Docs: README.md con: cómo correr, cómo editar datos, cómo publicar, cómo cambiar TOURNAMENT_START_UTC.

Deploy

Usa GitHub Pages (Next.js estático):

next.config.js con output: 'export' y images: { unoptimized: true }.

basePath si el repo no es de usuario orgánico.

Workflow pages.yml que haga next build && next export y publique ./out.

Añade un favicon y un manifest.webmanifest.

Tareas que debes ejecutar (en orden)

Crear repo nuevo world-cup-2026-web (público).

Scaffolding Next.js + TS + Tailwind.

Añadir shadcn/ui (los básicos: Card, Button, Badge, Tabs, Input).

Crear /data con los JSON de ejemplo y validadores.

Implementar rutas, component...
