## Description

This plugin authenticates against the Atom API gateway with a per-company API key

and exposes the `[prodaxis_print_quote]` shortcode, which lets a visitor upload 
an STL model, choose a material, color and template, and get an estimated print 
price, time and filament length.

Because the gateway derives the company from the API key, one WordPress site
 quotes
against exactly one company’s print options: whichever key you configure under Settings-
> Print Quote.

#### How it works

 1. Every request to the gateway is sent server-side with an `X-API-Key` header
     carrying
    the configured key. The gateway resolves the key to its company and scopes the 
    response accordingly.
 2. It calls GET /print/options to read the company’s materials, colors and
     templates.
 3. The result is cached (configurable lifetime) and used to populate the quote
     tool’s
    material, color and template controls.

The API key never reaches the browser — all requests happen on the WordPress
 server.

### External service

This plugin is an interface to the Prodaxis (Atom) API gateway, a third-party
 service
that holds your company’s 3D-print materials and performs the price calculations.
The plugin has no use without access to that service, and no data is sent anywhere
until you configure the gateway URL and an API key under Settings -> Print Quote.

Once configured, when a visitor requests a quote the plugin sends the following

to the gateway URL you configured, server-side (never from the visitor’s browser):

 * the uploaded STL model,
 * the selected material, color and template,
 * your company API key, as the `X-API-Key` request header.

The gateway returns the estimated price, print time and filament length. The
 uploaded
model and selections are transmitted to your configured gateway solely to produce
the quote.

 * Service provider: Prodaxis — https://prodaxis.io/

### Shortcode

    ```
    [prodaxis_print_quote]
    ```

Renders an interactive quote tool. A visitor:

 1. Uploads an STL model.
 2. Picks a material, then a color and template available for that material
     (the dropdowns
    are built from the same /print/options catalog).
 3. Clicks “Calculate price” to get an estimated price, print time and filament
     length.

The browser never talks to the gateway directly. The file and selections are
 sent
to WordPress (admin-ajax), which proxies them server-side using the same cached 
service-account token:

 * POST /slicer/upload – uploads the STL and returns its print reference.
 * POST /print/calculate/async – starts the calculation and returns immediately
   
   with a calculationId (status IN_PROGRESS); slicing runs in the background.
 * GET /calculation/{id} – polled until the status becomes COMPLETED (with
    the 
   price, print time and filament length) or FAILED.

Because slicing is asynchronous, the widget shows a “calculating” state and
 polls
every couple of seconds, giving up after about three minutes.

Changing the material and recalculating reuses the already-uploaded file;
 choosing
a different file re-uploads. Requests are protected with a WordPress nonce.

Optional attributes:

 * `accent` – hex accent color for the widget (default `#1976d2`)
 * `template_style` – `cards` (default) or `compact` template selector
 * `powered_by` – brand shown in the footer line; omitted hides it

Example: `[prodaxis_print_quote accent="#0f9d6b" template_style="compact"]`

### Notes

 * The WordPress server must be able to reach the API gateway URL. `localhost`
    
   works only when WordPress runs on the same machine as the gateway; inside a Docker
   container use `http://host.docker.internal:8086` instead, since localhost there
   points at the container, not the host.
 * The API key is stored in the WordPress options table and sent as the
    X-API-Key
   header. It is scoped to one company and limited to the print read/quote operations
   the widget needs; if it leaks, regenerate it in the company dashboard (which 
   immediately invalidates the old one).
 * STL upload size is bounded by two limits: PHP’s `upload_max_filesize` /
    post_max_size
   on the WordPress server (raise these for large models) and the gateway’s authoritative
   per-company limit, which is enforced server-side.

### Third-party libraries

The print-quote widget’s 3D preview is powered by Three.js (r185 / 0.185.0),
 bundled
locally under `assets/js/vendor/` so the widget needs no external requests:

 * three.module.min.js, STLLoader.js, OrbitControls.js — Three.js r185, MIT
    license,
   Copyright Three.js Authors. Source: https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/tree/r185

These are loaded as ES modules: the viewer script imports the bundled build and

its STLLoader / OrbitControls addons directly. The MIT license is GPL-compatible.
No other external scripts or services are loaded in the browser.

## Installation

 1. Copy the `prodaxis-print-quote` folder into `wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate “Prodaxis Print Quote” in Plugins.
 3. Go to Settings -> Print Quote and set:
 4.  * API Gateway base URL (e.g. http://host.docker.internal:8086 when WordPress
        
       runs in Docker; the gateway is on the host, not inside the container)
     * API key (generate it in your company dashboard under Settings -> API; it is
       
       shown in full only once, so copy it then)
     * Cache lifetime in seconds (default 300)
     * SSL verification (disable only for local self-signed certificates)
 5. Add `[prodaxis_print_quote]` to any page or post.

## Changelog

#### 1.5.1

 * Rename all PHP functions, classes, constants, the stored option, transients,
   
   the nonce and AJAX actions, and script handles to use the unique `prodprqu_` 
   prefix, avoiding collisions with other plugins. Re-enter the API key under Settings-
   > Print Quote after updating.
 * Update the bundled Three.js library from r128 to r185 and load the 3D preview
   
   as an ES module (the modern build is ESM-only).
 * Document the external Prodaxis (Atom) API gateway service, the data sent to
    
   it, and links to its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

#### 1.5.0

 * Authenticate with a per-company API key (sent as the `X-API-Key` header)
    instead
   of a service-account e-mail and password. Removes the server-side login step 
   and token caching. Configure the key under Settings -> Print Quote; generate 
   it in your company dashboard (Settings -> API).

#### 1.4.0

 * Remove the `[company_print_catalog]` catalog shortcode and its assets. The
    plugin
   now focuses solely on the `[prodaxis_print_quote]` tool. The print options are
   still fetched from /print/options to populate the quote controls.

#### 1.3.0

 * Add an interactive 3D preview of the uploaded STL above the upload step
    (Three.
   js, bundled locally): the model auto-rotates, can be orbited and zoomed, and 
   is tinted live by the selected color. Degrades to a small “3D preview unavailable”
   notice where WebGL or Three.js is missing.

#### 1.2.0

 * Redesign the `[prodaxis_print_quote]` widget: a single card with a drag-and-drop
   
   upload zone, a custom material picker, color swatches, quality-template cards
   and an animated price result. New optional shortcode attributes `accent`, template_style
   and `powered_by`.

#### 1.1.1

 * Fix: the quote widget now embeds its configuration inline in the shortcode
    markup,
   so the material list populates reliably regardless of how the theme or page builder
   prints scripts.

#### 1.1.0

 * Add the `[prodaxis_print_quote]` shortcode: upload an STL, pick a material,
    
   color and template, and get an asynchronous price calculation. Files and selections
   are proxied server-side (POST /slicer/upload, POST /print/calculate/async) and
   the result is polled (GET /calculation/{id}) until it completes or fails. Requests
   are protected with a WordPress nonce.

#### 1.0.0

 * Initial release: shortcode, admin settings, server-side auth with token and
    
   catalog caching, material/color/template cards with expandable details.
