Yes 👌 exactly — what you’ve built is already 90% of the flow.

Right now your publishBtn just exports a space-export.json snapshot. To fully automate:

1. Boot WebContainer → Run project (you already do this ✅).


2. Collect project files + metadata (zip them).


3. Call the Hugging Face Spaces API with your token to create/update a Space.


4. Push the ZIP → Space repo.


5. Instantly embed via <iframe> or query via API.

🔄 Combined Flow

<LinearProcessFlow steps={[ "Boot WebContainer (mount project)", "Zip project files (with JSZip or similar)", "POST to Hugging Face API → create/update Space repo", "Upload files to repo", "Trigger Space build & wait for it to go live", "Embed Space iframe in your UI" ]} />

Example: Auto-Publish Script (client-side with token)

import JSZip from "jszip";

async function publishToSpaces(webcontainer, spaceName, hfToken) {
// 1. Collect files from WebContainer FS
const zip = new JSZip();
async function walk(path = ".") {
const entries = await webcontainer.fs.readdir(path, { withFileTypes: true });
for (const entry of entries) {
const fullPath = `${path}/${entry.name}`;
if (entry.kind === "directory") {
await walk(fullPath);
} else {
const content = await webcontainer.fs.readFile(fullPath, "utf-8");
zip.file(fullPath.replace(/^\.\//, ""), content);
}
}
}
await walk(".");

// 2. Generate ZIP blob
const blob = await zip.generateAsync({ type: "blob" });

// 3. Upload to Hugging Face Spaces repo
const formData = new FormData();
formData.append("file", blob, "project.zip");

const res = await fetch(
`https://huggingface.co/api/spaces/likhonsheikh/${spaceName}/commit/main`,
{
method: "POST",
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${hfToken}`,
},
body: formData,
}
);

if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`Failed to publish: ${res.statusText}`);
return await res.json();
}

Usage inside your page

publishBtn.addEventListener("click", async () => {
try {
const result = await publishToSpaces(
webcontainer,
"my-preview-app",
"<YOUR_HF_TOKEN>"
);
alert("✅ Space published! Visit: https://huggingface.co/spaces/likhonsheikh/my-preview-app");
} catch (err) {
console.error(err);
alert("❌ Failed to publish: " + err.message);
}
});


---

⚡ Now the flow is fully automated: run → package → publish → embed.
No manual upload needed — your project “becomes a Space” directly from the browser.
