Okay so there's a bug here where navigating directly to /outfits/new?species=X&color=Y will reset to a Blue Acara, because Next.js statically renders the Blue Acara on build, and then rehydrates a Blue Acara on load, and then updates the real page query in—and our state management for outfits doesn't *listen* to URL changes, it only *emits* them.
It'd be good to consider like… changing that? It's tricky because our state model is… not simple, when you consider that we have both local state and URL state and saved-outfit state in play. But it could be done! But there might be another option too. I'll take a look at this after moving the home page, which will give me the chance to see what the experience navigating in from there is like!
Hey finally! I got in the mood and did it, after… a year? idk lol
The button should only appear for outfits that are already saved, that are owned by you. And the server enforces it!
I also added a new util function to give actually useful error messages when the GraphQL server throws an error. Might be wise to use this in more places where we're currently just using `error.message`!
Oops, the sequence here was:
1) Save a new outfit
2) The debounced outfit state still contains id=null, which doesn't match the saved outfit, which triggers an auto-save
3) And now again, the debounced outfit state contains the _previous_ saved outfit ID, but the saved outfit has a _new_ ID, so we save the _previous_ outfit again
and back and forth forever.
Right, ok, simple change: if the saved outfit ID changes, reset the debounced state immediately, so it can't even be out of sync in the first place! (I also considered checking it in the condition, but I didn't really understand what the timing properties of being out of sync due to debouncing would be, and it seemed to not represent the reality I want.)
Hope it actually work-works lol
Did some refactors in useOutfitState to support the new reset action we do after auto-saving, in case the server tweaked things like the name.
Now, when viewing a saved outfit that you own, you'll see a "Saved" indicator if it matches the version on the server, or a temporary UI of "Not saved" and a tooltip if not.
Auto-save coming next!
Ah, oops, the `id` field from `useOutfitState` went missing and I didn't notice, so `useOutfitSaving` didn't correctly detect that this was an existing outfit!
This made saves on existing outfits create new copies, which isn't a bad behavior exactly, but I don't want to go there; saving a copy is just gonna pollute people's outfit lists rn, worse than no option imo.
Just a basic e2e starting point! Simple logic, with simple gates to prevent saving outfits we're not ready for. Safe to ship, despite being very incomplete!
Previously, when you navigated directly to an outfit by typing the URL into the browser or following an external link, the name would stay as "Untitled outfit", even after the outfit loaded.
This was because, when you render an `Editable` Chakra component with `value={undefined}`, it permanently enters "uncontrolled" mode, and providing a value later doesn't change that.
But tbh passing `undefined` down from outfit state wasn't my intention! But yeah, turns out the `?.` operator returns `undefined` rather than `null`, which I guess makes sense!
So, I've fixed this on both ends. I'm now passing more `null`s down via outfit state, because I think that's a more expected value in general.
But also, for the `Editable`, I'm making a point of passing in an empty string as `value`, so that this component will be resilient to upstream changes in the future. (It's pretty brittle to _depend_ on the difference between `null` and `undefined`, as we saw here 😅)
Still a pretty limited early version, no saving _back_ to the server. But you can click from the Your Outfits page and see the outfit for real! :3 We have a WIPCallout explaining the basics.
Looks like there was some kind of runtime conflict when running @emotion/css and @emotion/react at the same time in this app? Some styles would just get clobbered, making things look all weird.
Here, I've removed our @emotion/css dependency, and use the `<ClassNames>` utility element from `@emotion/react` instead. I'm not thrilled about the solution, but it seems okay for now...
...one other thing I tried was passing a `css` prop to Chakra elements, which seemed to work, but to clobber the element's own Emotion-based styles. I assumed that the Babel macro wouldn't help us, and wouldn't convert css props to className props for non-HTML elements... but I suppose I'm not sure!
Anyway, I don't love this syntax... but I'm happy for the site to be working again. I wonder if we can find something better.
We did this a while back too, but I guess something changed in Apollo: I guess it used to return identical item objects from the cache on its own, and now it returns brand new item objects. So we gotta do the object caching hacks ourselves!
This speeds up add/remove item state updates from 500ms to 100ms on my Mac, because we stop re-rendering all the Item components and their complex Chakra children.
This is especially worth doing now, because animations make long updates much more noticeable! (It interrupts the animation 😅)
I was getting annoyed by how, when you're using search, trying on an item will remove conflicting stuff, and then if you decide you don't like what you tried the old stuff _doesn't come back_
As of this change, it does! When you start a new search, we save the outfit state, and then whenever you change the items we ask "hey can these old ones safely be re-worn again?" and re-wear them if so.
This was a subtle little thing for a while! If you switch species/color, such that an item doesn't fit the pet anymore, we used to just hide it. Now, we show it in a list, so that you can understand what went wrong, and have the option to remove it.
I figured that we'd want simpler UI in the ItemsPanel when possible… but now that we've got it pretty simple and comfy, I think the consistency is better
These are nice! :)
The `hideSimpleZones` option I'm not sure about yet, but I figure that:
1. For a new user just doing simple outfits, I feel like the double data on the items page just looks silly, so I want to streamline for that
2. But I _do_ want to let the user think about zone complexity when things _are_ multi-zone.
I did also consider just hiding the zone badge for the header you're under, but I figured the consistency of having the item and its badges look the same in all the places in the list was more important.
Hey wow this was not so hard, just set some global styles, removed some hardcoded colors, and walked through the remaining hardcoded colors to pick a dark mode variant :) neat!!
This was a surprisingly big win! Item is heavier than it looks, because it has like 6 Chakra components, which aren't expensive but aren't _cheap_ in a re-rendered list that needs to be fast, you know?
And it's even more important on search, where there's a lot of items on the page. (we should virtualize it too but that's a thing for another day)
