Huh, I hadn't realized that like, we'd already set up the controller to
always *run* basically all of the modeling logic, and the caching in
the view layer wasn't saving us any queries anymore. Kinda silly!
Remove the caching call, just to simplify the codebase (I like to avoid
caching things that don't specifically need it!).
And hey, love that the modeling code in the controller is now *way*
faster to run! You love to see it!
By default, Rails gives this button the name `commit`, so it appears in
the URL the form sends to. By setting the name to `nil`, Rails doesn't
set a `name` attribute on the HTML element, so it's *not* included.
The lists of pet types and pet states had very similar styles, which I
mostly copy-pasted. Now that I want to use them for Alt Styles too, I'm
refactoring!
This hasn't worked for a while anyway! Let's remove the bits of code
where we deal with it, and the database field that signals it. (We also
make a corresponding change in Impress 2020, so it doesn't crash trying
to query based on the `prank` column.)
I also ran this snippet to clear out all the Nebula stuff in the db:
```rb
Color.transaction do
nebula = Color.where(prank: true).find_by_name("Nebula")
nebula.pet_types.includes(pet_states: :swf_assets).each do |pet_type|
pet_type.pet_states.each do |pet_state|
pet_state.parent_swf_asset_relationships.each do |psa|
psa.swf_asset.destroy!
psa.destroy!
end
pet_state.destroy!
end
pet_type.destroy!
end
nebula.destroy!
end
```
Now that we have such a convenient lil outfit viewer component we built
for the item page preview, it's easy peasy to drop it in here too! And
it's all nice and lightweight, since in this case it's basically just.
image tags, with some supporting enhancements.
Anyway, this page has no actual useful styles of its own yet. Gonna
make it look nice and such!
I'm experimenting with a Rainbow Pool ish UI, mainly as a support tool
for exploring and labeling poses—but one we can probably just show to
real users too!
Right now, I just use pet type images as a placeholder, and I polished
up some of the `pet_type_image` API. But we're probably gonna drop
these for a full outfit viewer, now that I think of it.
This is a transitional gem to help with upgrading from old versions of
Rails: it provides a deprecated feature that Rails removed.
I audited and I *think* we only used it in one place, and that this one
place doesn't even use any of its functionality for styling or
scripting? So, begone!
Right, yeah, we've been depending on an external CDN for a long time
for jQuery and the jQuery Template library, and I don't like that kind
of external dependency! Let's put it in with the rest of our libs.
It's only actually used in two JS files, so rather than doing a weird
global `$.ajaxSetup` call, let's just inline it into the small handful
of AJAX calls that actually care.
When I was trying to debug slow view code one time long long ago, I was
like "let's cache any part of the template that's static!"
And like. no that's silly, I don't trust that this speeds anything up,
but it _definitely_ adds complexity. Let's just not.
The silly motivation is that I wanted to remove `.prettierignore`,
which just exists to omit that one folder from `npm run format`. But it
also seems like this is the standard place to put them—a standard
created long after we first set this up lol
Ahh right, when you indent stuff underneath a tag in HAML, it does the
same indented form in the output HTML, which adds whitespace that
creates a problem for how we're doing this list.
Before this change, the "Engulfed in Flames Effect" item showed below
the preview: `Occupies: Background Item , Lower Foreground Item`, with
an extra space before the comma.
After this change, it now shows
`Occupies: Background Item, Lower Foreground Item`, as intended.
Huh okay, moving to my other machine, the change to Noto Sans subtly
broke the homepage layout a bit, wrapping the form buttons to the next
line in the three module sections.
Here, I refactor to more modern grid/flexbox sensibilities. Btw, there
was a Flexbox thing that didn't work quite how I expected? I commented
on my confusion, but checked in Chrome and Firefox and it seems to work
in both, so, ok!
I think this has just been broken for a long time? And I don't think
it's very useful in a world 15 years later, where our problem *used* to
be giant gaps in our library, which isn't really our data problem
anymore.
No more of this loading everything into `application.css`! I'm
arbitrarily starting here because that's where I've been playing
lately, but this is part of a larger effort to move toward a more
straightforward CSS architecture (and away from Sass even?)
Ran into a funny thing on an upcoming change, where a style on the
page-specific stylesheet was getting undone by the *CSS Reset* of all
things in the application stylesheet. Resets come first!
I haven't audited that I didn't break a ton of stuff with this change,
but. I hope not! :)
I skipped this for a bit because I couldn't think of a simple way to
adapt this behavior to a web component + vanilla CSS setting, but then
I thought of CSS variables, and sat down and cranked this out!
Oh right, forgot about this lol!
The specific effect on Impress 2020 where the button label expands is,
kinda hard to implement in normal CSS/JS, and so I'm not in the mood
and I'm settling for the `title` attribute lol
