Woof, the "Swirl of Power Effect" item tanks my CPU waaay too much
(I bet it's those 7000x7000 PNGs lolol 😬)
Anyway, before thinking about optimizing specific issues, I'm just adding this emergency switch: if we detect FPS < 2 on any layer, we just pause the whole outfit, until the user decides to unpause.
Oh hey, turns out I was missing a step in movie clip stuff! Images aren't just for sprite sheets, but also sometimes they just want the raw images!
Here, we register them, uwu
Items like "Swirl of Power Effect" and probably others work correctly now!
That said, Swirl of Power takes WAY too much CPU lmao, I want to maybe add some kind of automatic kill switch lol
There are a couple spots where we parse SWF URLs to get the ID out! Most visibly, our Support tools were crashing on it. And internally, manifest loading wasn't working. (I'm not sure if this got caught or if it caused crashes in user space? I didn't see them when wearing a failing item)
Anyway, fixed now!
This is because it's the terminology I'm using elsewhere ("Items" and "Closet" are too overloaded in the UI), and because I want to start putting specific lists at like `/user/:userId/lists/:listId`!
I also create a redirect from the old URL, and also from the DTI Classic variant of the URL
Ah right, React state batching doesn't always work how I expect it to. The separate state caused the hook to return and cache `{loading: false, error: null, data: null}`, and then on a _later_ tick the data value showed up, but only _after_ the response was already cached!
This broken a bunch of species/color picker stuff, now it's fixed!
Okay, so getting the initial render down time for these faces is annoying, though I might come back to it…
But actually, the _worst_ part isn't the _initial_ render, which just kinda gets processed as part of the page navigation, right?
The _worst_ part is that we render it slowly _twice_: once on page load, as we send the `useAllValidPetPoses` fetch request; and then again when the fetch request ~instantly comes back from the network cache.
The fact that this requires a double-render, instead of just rendering with the cached valids data in the first place (like how our GraphQL client does), causes a second and highly-visible render of a slow-to-render UI!
So, here we update `useAllValidPetPoses` to cache its response in JS memory, similar in principle to how Apollo Client does. That way, we can return the valids instantly on the first render, if you already loaded them from the homepage or the wardrobe page or another item page!
This is a pretty easy change, that makes re-renders faster when something about the item preview state changes!
That said, the initial render is still pretty slow, too, and that's the one that's bothering me more lol
Ah oops, because I forgot to set `hiResMode` here in the image preloader, we would preload the PNG, and _then_ load the SVG separately.
This doubled the effective image loading time in Hi-Res Mode!
Now, the image preloader respects hi-res mode, and will preload the SVG in the SVG case, and the PNG in the PNG case.
If you're not in hi-res mode, then you don't care about broken SVGs, because you wouldn't have seen them anyway!
We also update the message to reference Hi-Res Mode.
We're just having too many glitchy SVGs for my taste, esp since TNT seems to just be using PNGs for now?
This change defaults us to using PNGs for users by default, with the option to use SVGs as a new "hi-res mode" setting.
This is our first ever setting, wow!
I'm also envisioning that like, if we get Fastly Image Optimizer set up, this could be a way to tune the quality of the incoming images.
We could also consider a setting to turn off animations altogether—like, just download the PNG instead of the movie, whereas right now we download the movie on the assumption that you might play it at any time.
The way we were checking for UC compatibility issues, was also triggering while the appearance was still loading, so items didn't have any appearance layers yet!
Now, we check for loading before testing for that glitch.
Oh right, adding user data to this query makes it uncacheable!
Split the query into the main public data, which will cache; and the user data, which will load in later.
I refactor the hide-badge thing into 3 "trade matching modes". Then, the logic for whether to hide specific badges moves into the component, and we use that same flag to decide whether to show the big word "match"!
Boom, cute owns/wants badges on "Latest items", and the item search page, and trade matches!
I'm gonna add some additional flair to the trade match case, too!
This has been bugging me for a while lol, the background was leaking out of the corners!
I had applied the styles to the `InputGroup` because I didn't realize how Chakra implements this… I had assumed that the left/right elements wouldn't also get the background.
But it turns out, `InputGroup` uses `position: absolute` stuff, and uses padding to create visual space in the `Input` below them! So, this works perfect!
Copied styles from the similar layout in the bulk converter tool! The status will flush to the right of the field header on desktop, and move below the input on mobile.
This was a known oversight, that I've finally fixed because I realized this subquery probably would be just fine lol!
Now, instead of removing rows with _all_ species modeled, we remove rows with all species _for that color_ modeled.
This leaves the rest of the modeling list unchanged, but removed 10 Maraquan items that were done modeling but still on the list:
- Dyeworks Coral: Maraquan White Beaded Gown
- Dyeworks Green: Maraquan White Beaded Gown
- Dyeworks Lavender: Maraquan White Beaded Gown
- Dyeworks Purple: Maraquan Wig with Negg Accessory
- Dyeworks Lavender: Maraquan Sea Blue Gown
- Dyeworks Pink: Maraquan Sea Blue Gown
- Dyeworks Silver: Maraquan Sea Blue Gown
- Maraquan White Lace Gown
- Underwater Maraquan Markings
(I also went in the database and marked the "Maraquan Ocean Blue Contacts" with the `modeling_status_hint = "done"`, because it's not compatible with Lutari.)
Oops, right, I forgot for a while that GraphQL fields have a special syntax for docstrings, and it's not just comments! This will help stuff show up in our GraphQL Playground API docs correctly 🥰
I'm not sure which image url is better to return from stuff like this, and I don't actually have a use case for it anymore, so let's just clear it out until we need something like it!
Oops, we get a _lot_ of outfit image requests, and it's pushing the limits of our free Honeycomb plan! But I don't really need all that much detail, because there's so many.
So, we here apply sampling! `api/outfitImage` is getting a 1/10 rate, and for GraphQL, `ApiOutfitImage` is getting 1/10, and `SearchPanel` is getting 1/5.
I had to add a `addTraceContext` call, to give all the child events awareness of what operation they're being called in, too!
I haven't actually tested that this is working-working, just that the endpoints still return good data. We'll see how it shakes out in prod!
But I did add `console.log(sampleRate, shouldSample, data);` to the `samplerHook` briefly, to see the data flow through, and I reloaded a `SearchPanel` request a few times and observed a plausibly 20% success rate.
Oops, I wasn't requesting `bodyId` for item layers, so the check for `layer.bodyId !== "0"` was always true—because it was always `undefined`, even when it should have been `"0"`.
This wasn't an issue on the client, because the client _does_ request `bodyId` for caching item appearances between pets of the same body, and I didn't realize that it needs to be part of this fragment too!
Mm right, when we first render the output, `imageUrl` is `undefined`, so the output textbox renders with `value={undefined}`, which is an "uncontrolled" component that the DOM is free to change.
In practice, this isn't an issue because the textbox has `isReadOnly`, so the user can't _actually_ change it. But it's still a good idea for consistency and clarity to use an empty string instead of `undefined`, and it removes warning spam from my console!
Oops, previously the MajorErrorMessage was willing to shrink the width of the cute Grundo Programmer icon, to allow error messages with long words to avoid word breaks.
Here, we switch `1fr` for `minmax(0, 1fr)`, which allows the text zone to get smaller. (`1fr` is short for `minmax(auto, 1fr)`, which isn't capable of shrinking smaller than the natural value.)
Now, the error text is more willing to shrink by word-wrapping, than the image is by shrinking the image. Success!
Oops, my cute API idea for `speciesPickerProps` breaks `React.memo`, of course!
We could fix this by having the caller memoize the `speciesPickerProps` object, but that's too unusual and error-prone. We could also fix this by writing a custom function for `React.memo` to determine whether props match, but that seems like overkill when there's only one actual prop we're using here in practice.
So yeah, I've updated `SpeciesColorPicker` to just accept `speciesTestId` and `colorTestId` props instead!
Note that actually this component _is_ still re-rendering too often, because of a Chakra bug I just discovered and reported! So this change won't immediately improve performance, but it should stop re-rendering too often once we _also_ upgrade Chakra after this bug is fixed. https://github.com/chakra-ui/chakra-ui/issues/4080
