Add external API integration for wiki/web UI synchronization

This commit adds a comprehensive external API system that allows external tools (wikis, web UIs, etc.) to control and synchronize with Fantasy Map Generator. New Features: - External API Bridge (modules/external-api.js) - Event-driven architecture with EventEmitter - Map lifecycle control (create, load, save) - Data access methods (rivers, cultures, states, burgs) - Data mutation methods with auto-redraw - Export support (SVG, PNG, JSON) - Change detection with automatic event emission - PostMessage Communication Layer - Auto-enables when FMG is embedded in iframe - Bidirectional message passing - Request/response pattern with promise support - Automatic event forwarding to parent window - REST API Server (api-server/) - Express.js server with full CRUD operations - WebSocket support via Socket.IO for real-time updates - File upload support for map and CSV import - In-memory storage (can be replaced with database) - CORS enabled for cross-origin requests - Comprehensive endpoints for all map data - Client Library (api-server/client.js) - Simple JavaScript client for REST API - Promise-based async methods - Works in browser and Node.js - Demo Pages (demos/) - PostMessage integration demo with full UI - REST API demo with interactive testing - WebSocket demo for real-time events - Documentation - Comprehensive integration guide (EXTERNAL_API_INTEGRATION.md) - API reference with TypeScript interfaces - Multiple integration examples - Troubleshooting guide Integration Methods: 1. PostMessage Bridge - For iframe embedding 2. REST API - For server-side integration 3. Direct JavaScript API - For same-origin apps Use Cases: - Wiki pages that need to display and control maps - Web UIs that want to edit map data - External tools that need to sync with FMG - Real-time collaborative map editing - Batch operations and automation Technical Details: - Zero dependencies for external-api.js (pure JS) - Auto-initializes on DOMContentLoaded - Throttled change detection (500ms debounce) - Deep cloning for data access (prevents mutations) - Error handling throughout - Version tagged (v1.0.0) Updated Files: - index.html: Added script tag to load external-api module All APIs are backward compatible and don't affect existing functionality.

+
+## Overview
+
+The Fantasy Map Generator now includes an **External API** that allows external applications to:
+
+- Control map generation and loading
+- Access and modify map data (rivers, cultures, states, burgs, etc.)
+- Listen to real-time map changes
+- Export maps in various formats
+- Synchronize state bidirectionally
+
+### Key Features
+
+✅ **Event-driven architecture** - Subscribe to map changes
+✅ **PostMessage bridge** - Embed FMG in iframe and control it
+✅ **REST API server** - HTTP endpoints for server-side integration
+✅ **WebSocket support** - Real-time bidirectional communication
+✅ **Type-safe data access** - Clean API with error handling
+
+---
+
+## Integration Methods
+
+### 1. PostMessage Bridge (iframe)
+
+**Best for:** Web-based wikis, browser extensions, web apps on different domains
+
+#### How It Works
+
+1. Embed FMG in an `<iframe>`
+2. Send commands via `postMessage()`
+3. Receive responses and events automatically
+
+#### Example
+
+```html
+<!-- Your Wiki/Web UI -->
+<!DOCTYPE html>
+<html>
+<body>
+  <!-- Embed FMG -->
+  <iframe id="mapFrame" src="https://your-fmg-instance.com/index.html"></iframe>
+
+  <script>
+    const mapFrame = document.getElementById('mapFrame').contentWindow;
+
+    // Wait for iframe to load
+    window.addEventListener('load', () => {
+      // Create a new map
+      mapFrame.postMessage({
+        type: 'CREATE_MAP',
+        payload: { seed: 'my-world' },
+        requestId: 1
+      }, '*');
+    });
+
+    // Listen for responses
+    window.addEventListener('message', (event) => {
+      const { type, payload, requestId } = event.data;
+
+      if (type === 'RESPONSE' && requestId === 1) {
+        console.log('Map created!', payload);
+      }
+
+      if (type === 'EVENT' && payload.event === 'rivers:updated') {
+        console.log('Rivers updated:', payload.data);
+      }
+    });
+  </script>
+</body>
+</html>
+```
+
+#### Available Commands
+
+Send these via `postMessage()`:
+
+```javascript
+// Map Lifecycle
+{ type: 'CREATE_MAP', payload: { seed, width, height } }
+{ type: 'LOAD_MAP', payload: mapData }
+{ type: 'SAVE_MAP', payload: { format: 'data' | 'blob' } }
+
+// Data Access
+{ type: 'GET_STATE' }
+{ type: 'GET_RIVERS' }
+{ type: 'GET_CULTURES' }
+{ type: 'GET_STATES' }
+{ type: 'GET_BURGS' }
+
+// Mutations
+{ type: 'UPDATE_RIVERS', payload: [...] }
+{ type: 'UPDATE_CULTURES', payload: [...] }
+{ type: 'UPDATE_STATES', payload: [...] }
+{ type: 'ADD_BURG', payload: {name, x, y, ...} }
+
+// Export
+{ type: 'EXPORT_SVG' }
+{ type: 'EXPORT_PNG', payload: {width, height} }
+{ type: 'EXPORT_JSON', payload: {key} }
+```
+
+#### Demo
+
+See `demos/postmessage-demo.html` for a full interactive example.

+
+---
+
+### 3. Direct JavaScript API
+
+**Best for:** Same-origin applications, browser extensions with host permissions
+
+#### Access the API
+
+Once FMG is loaded, access the global API:
+
+```javascript
+const api = window.FMG_API;
+```
+
+#### Methods
+
+##### Map Lifecycle
+
+```javascript
+// Create new map
+const result = await api.createMap({ seed: 'my-seed' });
+if (result.success) {
+  console.log('Map created:', result.state);
+}
+
+// Load map from file or data
+const file = document.getElementById('fileInput').files[0];
+await api.loadMap(file);
+
+// Or load from string
+await api.loadMap(mapDataString);
+
+// Save map
+const saved = await api.saveMap('data'); // or 'blob'
+console.log('Map data:', saved.data);
+```
+
+##### Data Access
+
+```javascript
+// Get complete state
+const state = api.getMapState();
+console.log('Current state:', state);
+
+// Get specific data
+const rivers = api.getRivers();
+const cultures = api.getCultures();
+const states = api.getStates();
+const burgs = api.getBurgs();
+const religions = api.getReligions();
+const markers = api.getMarkers();
+const grid = api.getGrid();
+
+// Get any data by key
+const data = api.getData('rivers');
+```
+
+##### Mutations
+
+```javascript
+// Update rivers
+api.updateRivers([
+  { i: 1, name: 'New River', type: 'River', discharge: 50 },
+  // ... more rivers
+]);
+
+// Update cultures
+api.updateCultures([...]);
+
+// Update states
+api.updateStates([...]);
+
+// Update burgs
+api.updateBurgs([...]);
+
+// Add a new burg
+const result = api.addBurg({
+  name: 'New City',
+  x: 500,
+  y: 400,
+  cell: 1234,
+  population: 10,
+  type: 'city',
+  culture: 1,
+  state: 1
+});
+
+if (result.success) {
+  console.log('New burg ID:', result.id);
+}
+```
+
+##### Export
+
+```javascript
+// Export SVG
+const svg = api.exportSVG();
+console.log('SVG:', svg);
+
+// Export PNG (returns blob)
+const pngBlob = await api.exportPNG(2048, 2048);
+
+// Export JSON
+const json = api.exportJSON(); // All data
+const riversJson = api.exportJSON('rivers'); // Specific key
+```
+
+##### Events
+
+```javascript
+// Subscribe to events
+const unsubscribe = api.on('map:changed', (state) => {
+  console.log('Map changed:', state);
+});
+
+// Unsubscribe
+unsubscribe();
+
+// Or manually
+api.off('map:changed', callback);
+
+// Subscribe once
+api.once('map:created', (state) => {
+  console.log('Map created:', state);
+});
+
+// Emit custom events
+api.emit('custom:event', { myData: 'test' });
+```

+  console.log('Map state:', state);
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example 1: Wiki Integration
+
+Embed FMG in a wiki page and sync data:
+
+```html
+<div id="wiki-map-section">
+  <iframe id="fmg" src="/fmg/index.html" width="100%" height="600"></iframe>
+
+  <script>
+    // Store map state in wiki
+    window.addEventListener('message', (event) => {
+      if (event.data.type === 'EVENT' && event.data.payload.event === 'map:changed') {
+        // Save to wiki database
+        saveToWiki(event.data.payload.data);
+      }
+    });
+
+    // Load stored map on page load
+    fetch('/wiki/api/map-data')
+      .then(r => r.json())
+      .then(mapData => {
+        document.getElementById('fmg').contentWindow.postMessage({
+          type: 'LOAD_MAP',
+          payload: mapData
+        }, '*');
+      });
+  </script>
+</div>
+```
+
+### Example 2: Custom River Editor
+
+Create a custom UI to edit rivers:
+
+```javascript
+// Get current rivers
+const rivers = await window.FMG_API.getRivers();
+
+// Show in custom UI
+renderRiversTable(rivers);
+
+// Update a river
+rivers[0].name = 'Renamed River';
+rivers[0].discharge = 150;
+
+// Save changes
+window.FMG_API.updateRivers(rivers);
+
+// Listen for updates
+window.FMG_API.on('rivers:updated', (updatedRivers) => {
+  renderRiversTable(updatedRivers);
+});
+```
+
+### Example 3: Batch Operations via REST API
+
+```javascript
+// Create multiple maps
+async function createMapBatch(seeds) {
+  const maps = [];
+
+  for (const seed of seeds) {
+    const res = await fetch('http://localhost:3000/api/maps', {
+      method: 'POST',
+      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
+      body: JSON.stringify({ seed })
+    });
+
+    const { mapId } = await res.json();
+    maps.push(mapId);
+  }
+
+  return maps;
+}
+
+// Use it
+const mapIds = await createMapBatch(['world1', 'world2', 'world3']);
+console.log('Created maps:', mapIds);
+```
+
+### Example 4: Real-time Collaboration
+
+Multiple users editing the same map:
+
+```javascript
+// User A's browser
+const socket = io('http://localhost:3000');
+
+// Listen for changes from other users
+socket.on('rivers:updated', (data) => {
+  // Update local view
+  window.FMG_API.updateRivers(data.rivers);
+});
+
+// When local user makes changes
+window.FMG_API.on('rivers:updated', (rivers) => {
+  // Broadcast to other users
+  socket.emit('rivers:updated', {
+    mapId: currentMapId,
+    rivers
+  });
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### PostMessage not working
+
+**Problem:** Messages not received in iframe
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Ensure iframe has loaded: `iframe.addEventListener('load', ...)`
+2. Wait 1-2 seconds after load for API to initialize
+3. Check origin in postMessage: use `'*'` or specific origin
+4. Open browser console to check for errors
+
+### CORS errors with REST API
+
+**Problem:** `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` errors
+
+**Solution:**
+- REST API server has CORS enabled by default
+- If using custom server, add CORS middleware
+- For production, configure specific origins
+
+### API not available
+
+**Problem:** `window.FMG_API is undefined`
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Ensure `external-api.js` is loaded in index.html
+2. Wait for DOMContentLoaded event
+3. Check browser console for script errors
+
+### Events not firing
+
+**Problem:** Event listeners not receiving events
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Subscribe to events BEFORE making changes
+2. Check event names (case-sensitive)
+3. Ensure change detection is enabled (automatic)
+
+### WebSocket disconnects
+
+**Problem:** Socket disconnects unexpectedly
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Check server is running
+2. Implement reconnection logic
+3. Handle `disconnect` event and reconnect
+
+---
+
+## Advanced Configuration
+
+### Disable PostMessage Bridge
+
+If you don't need iframe integration:
+
+```javascript
+// In your fork, remove from external-api.js:
+// PostMessageBridge.enable();
+```
+
+### Custom Event Throttling
+
+Adjust change detection throttle:
+
+```javascript
+// In external-api.js, modify debounce time:
+const observer = new MutationObserver(debounce(() => {
+  // ...
+}, 500)); // Change from 500ms to your preference
+```
+
+### Enable Debug Logging
+
+```javascript
+// Add to external-api.js for verbose logging:
+const DEBUG = true;
+
+if (DEBUG) {
+  eventEmitter.on('*', (event, data) => {
+    console.log('[FMG API]', event, data);
+  });
+}
+```

+
+By default, maps are stored in memory. For production, replace the `Map` with a database:
+
+```javascript
+// Replace this in server.js
+const maps = new Map();
+
+// With this (example with MongoDB)
+const maps = await db.collection('maps');
+```
+
+## Deployment
+
+### Docker
+
+```dockerfile
+FROM node:18
+WORKDIR /app
+COPY package*.json ./
+RUN npm install
+COPY . .
+EXPOSE 3000
+CMD ["npm", "start"]
+```
+
+Build and run:
+```bash
+docker build -t fmg-api .
+docker run -p 3000:3000 fmg-api
+```
+
+### Production Considerations
+
+1. **Database**: Replace in-memory storage with MongoDB, PostgreSQL, etc.
+2. **Authentication**: Add JWT or OAuth for protected endpoints
+3. **Rate Limiting**: Add express-rate-limit
+4. **Validation**: Add input validation with joi or express-validator
+5. **Logging**: Add morgan or winston
+6. **Monitoring**: Add health checks and metrics
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+Client (Browser/Wiki)
+    ↓
+REST API / WebSocket
+    ↓
+Server (Express + Socket.IO)
+    ↓
+Storage (In-memory Map / Database)
+```
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- **express**: Web framework
+- **socket.io**: WebSocket server
+- **cors**: Cross-origin resource sharing
+- **multer**: File upload handling
+- **body-parser**: Request body parsing
+
+## Development
+
+### Add New Endpoint
+
+```javascript
+// In server.js
+app.get('/api/maps/:id/custom', async (req, res) => {
+  try {
+    const {id} = req.params;
+    // Your logic here
+    res.json({success: true, data: {}});
+  } catch (error) {
+    res.status(500).json({success: false, error: error.message});
+  }
+});
+```
+
+### Add WebSocket Event
+
+```javascript
+// In server.js
+io.on('connection', (socket) => {
+  socket.on('custom:event', (data) => {
+    // Handle event
+    io.emit('custom:response', data);
+  });
+});
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+### Manual Testing
+
+Use the demo pages:
+- REST API: `http://localhost:3000/demos/rest-api-demo.html`
+- WebSocket: `http://localhost:3000/demos/websocket-demo.html`
+
+### Automated Testing
+
+```bash
+# Install test dependencies
+npm install --save-dev mocha chai supertest
+
+# Run tests
+npm test
+```
