I noticed that item wear/unwear is slow on mobile, because we re-render the whole app tree, and my laptop handles that super fine, but my few-years-old fun takes ~300ms, which is very noticeable.
There's some hacks we could do to get faster feedback, but first I'm diving into the render tree to find the unnecessary renders and stop 'em! That should help build perf across the board, rather than in just one spot, and hopefully be less of a weird sore spot :)
The button section was capable of flex-shrinking, and having those wrap pretty much always looks bad imo. Here, we get more precise about the areas and their flex rules, including only letting the name area grow/shrink. (If the screen is too small for the name to wrap further, the panel area container gains a horizontal scrollbar, which feels like a really good compromise imo)
I think it's more helpful to auto-switch: if you're using the species/color picker for pet compatibility, that's probably what you want! And it's all buffered behind the Save Changes button anyway, so nbd to play a bit fast and loose!
One fix was that `position: absolute` stuff was appearing over the drawer, including the item search clear button, oof!
Another fix was for a weird bug(?) in Apollo Client, see comments
Note that there's a bug when switching back to the null case… when I look in the Apollo dev tools, it's definitely getting set in the cache correctly at the right time… but the query isn't updating for some reason? I'm hoping it's an Apollo bug that will fix itself someday with an upgrade!
Optimistic UI seems to just be like, not working… I'm seeing some Google results suggesting maybe just get to v3, which is a bit of upgrade work but might be worth it
Oh oops, Chakra UI Next deprecates usePortal for the popover, so it wasn't escaping properly! Add a Portal component to let it escape the top area again!
I guess if you return a reference to an object that doesn't exist, it registers as null; and you need to provide the `true` here to declare that it _is_ real and should be treated as an _insufficiently_ defined object?
Using the newly extracted OutfitPreview! I'm really happy with how this turned out :3
It also makes the pageload after clicking Start super smooth, no spinner! Thanks Apollo cache!!
Kinda surprised our cache redirect isn't good enough for this, but I guess Apollo can't differentiate between a confident empty list vs an uncertain empty list!
