This only *really* shows up right now in the case where you construct
an Advanced Search form query (which only the wardrobe-2020 app does
now, and in limited form), and we return the query back (which only
gets used by the HTML view for item search, which doesn't have any way
to build one of these requests against it).
This is because, if you just type in `fits:alt-style-87305`, we always
keep your search string the same when outputting it back to you, to
avoid the weirdness of canonicalizing it and changing it up on you in
surprising ways!
But idk, this is just looking forward a bit, and keeping the system's
semantics in place. I hope someday we can bring robust text filter
and Advanced Search stuff back into the main app again, maybe!
Previously, passing in `fits:blue` would cause a crash, because
`species_name` part of the split would be `nil`, oops!
In this change, we use a regex for more explicitness about the pattern
we're trying to match. We'll also add more cases next! (You'll note the
error message mentions `fits:nostalgic-faerie-draik`, which isn't
actually possible yet, but will be!)
I think this is a bit clearer and lets us clean up some of the syntax a
bit (don't need to always say `filters <<`), and also it will let us
use `return`, which I'm interested in for my next change!
This is both unnecessary now, but also caused a bug in the new search
stuff where searching by zone would pass an extra `locale` argument to
a filter that doesn't need it!
For now, I'm doing it with a secret feature flag, since I want to be
committing but it isn't all quite working yet!
Search works right, and the appearance data is getting returned, but I
don't have the Apollo Cache integrations yet, which we rely on more
than I remembered!
Also, alt styles will crash it for now!
`is:np` now means "is not NC and is not PB".
Note that it might be good to make NC and PB explicitly mutually
exclusive too? It would complicate queries though, and not matter in
most cases… the Burlap Usul Bow is the only item that we currently
return for `is:pb is:nc`, which is probably because of a rarity issue?
Preparing to finally move wardrobe-2020's item search to use the main
app's API endpoints instead!
One blocker I forgot about here: Impress 2020 has actual support for
knowing an item's true appearance, like by reading the manifest and
stuff, that we haven't really ported over. I feel like maybe I should
pause and work on the changes to manifest-archiving that I'd been
planning anyway? I'll think about it.
Like in 0dca538, this is preliminary work for being able to drop the
`zone_translations` table! We're copying the field over first, to be
able to migrate DTI 2020 safely before dropping anything.
Non-English languages haven't been supported on Neopets for a while, so
I'd like to remove this extra cross-cutting complexity, especially
since it's now inconsistent with the real site anyway!
The main motivation is that I'd like to do this for items too, because
I have a hunch that all the complexity of `globalize` to read
`item.name` is part of what's making large user lists so slow to
render: lots of little objects getting created down the stack, and
needing to be garbage-collected later.
I'm not sure that's why! But I figure removing this complexity is a
simplicity win anyway, so let's do it!
Note that this doesn't *finish* the migration, it just starts it! The
`Species::Translation` and `Color::Translation` models still exist, and
still have their data, and not all references to them are scrubbed yet.
I especially don't want to delete the backing tables until both DTI and
DTI 2020 are ready for it!
So this change will someday be paired with another change to actually
drop the tables - after backing up the data for future records just in
case, of course!
lmao I keep forgetting things! note that the negative case of this filter, like the negative case of `fits`, is currently broken because Rails changed the default SQL mode and I didn't notice! We'll need to add a `database.yml` file and set `sql_mode: TRADITIONAL`.
Not doing the tricks with `is_positive` anymore, instead just calling different functions altogether at the call site.
Also, instead of classes, I feel like this is a lot more concise to just write as class methods that create certain instances of a trivial `Filter` data class. Without the tricks of `is_positive` in play, the value of classes goes way down imo.
The "fits:8-bit-chomby" search filter was being read as color=8, species=bit.
Now, we split from the right-hand side of the filter instead.
Still a problem for anyone who explicitly types the Spanish/Portuguese
ordering of "fits:chomby-8-bits", but I'm okay with this cheap fix, since
I bet literally nobody has done that in the past month, if ever :P
That is, once we get our list of IDs from the search engine, only
fetch records whose JSON we don't already have cached.
It's simpler here to use as_json, but it'd probably be even faster
if I figure out how to serve a plain JSON string from a Rails
controller. In the meantime, requests of entirely cached items
are coming in at about 85ms on average on my box (dev, cache
classes, many items), about 10ms better than the last
iteration.
