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!
Still getting some chunk load errors in my Sentry reporting! My hunch is these are the culprit. I hooope that after this the errors are pretty much gone! If not, then I'm missing something about what causes these failures…
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.
I saw the short-near-the-front and it just frankly looked awkward? Not sure why I liked it before?
I think this medium at the end of the list is better aesthatically, though it's starting to get a bit messy with the different colors mixed around… but I think there's also a semantic argument that we're keeping the facts about the item together, and the _user-specific_ stuff separate at the end… (putting it at the front would be a good semantic argument too, but I think the NC/NP alignment is too important)
In a previous change, I moved the margin for item badges onto an ItemBadge element… but I didn't think through how that would break the spacing for the loading state of ItemPage. Now, the loading skeleton items _contained_ the badge margin, and so the spacing between badges was shiny skeleton-y.
Here, I replace ZoneBadgesList with a function that just returns the elements, and go back to using Chakra's Wrap component. That will apply the margin to direct children, and the zone badges are direct children now.
One option I'm thinking of in hindsight is an idea I had earlier: Chakra hacks the margin onto _React_ children, but could we use CSS direct child selector instead? A bit trickier to resolve the margin size to the theme's value, but plenty doable… something to consider!
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 😅)
This is really very cute, but too many items it turns out are lod despite not actually being animated 🙃 it's helpful for looking for test cases tho, so I'm keeping it, but support only!
I also ended up really liking the icon-badge+tooltip design as a way to summarize lil things, so I'm trying Own/Want short badges in the same style.
Essentially I want the center-y visual balance around the image, and the name and _one_ line of tags. If there are extra tags, I want that to go down on its own, rather than bringing down the image+buttons to center against them.
The single-line-of-tags case is the most common, and I think it makes things feel more consistent for all the items to stick to that basic layout, while trying to keep that layout feeling center-y
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.
On the search panel, not all items have the remove button, and it's confusing to have the other buttons be in inconsistent positions!
Move the Remove button to the left side of the list, so that everything else is positioned the same regardless
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!!
Huh, weird how we seem to need preventDefault for buttons, but stopPropagation for links? idk, in any case, the Remove button was doing that thing where it clicks Remove but also bubbles up to the container and clicks it too :p
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)
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)
