Not using this on the item page preview yet, but we will!
I like this approach over e.g. a web component specifically for the
sandboxing: while I don't exactly *distrust* JS that we're loading from
Neopets.com, I don't like the idea of *any* part of the site that
executes arbitrary JS unsafely at runtime, even if we theoretically
trust where it theoretically came from. I don't want any failure
upstream to have effects on us!
I copied basically all of the JS from a related project
`impress-media-server` that I had spun up at one point, to investigate
similar embed techniques. Easy peasy drop-in-squeezy!
Oh right okay, attributes like `status="loading"` are more of an API
for the caller, whereas the internal state API is where you wanna put
things that are meant to be used in CSS selectors and stuff.
Instead of doing all this listening to Turbo events etc to know when
outfit layers might have changed, making it a custom element and wiring
in the behavior to its actual lifecycle makes it always Just Work!
The UI for it is just basic for my own testing rn: it sets the preview
background to gray while loading, then back to white when done!
This uses the new CSS `:has()` selector: we have JS manage the loading
state on each layer, then the container just restyles itself based on
whether any currently-loading layers are present.
Also adapted from the Impress 2020 logic!
Note that I refactored `compatible_pet_type` to a series of scopes on
`PetType`. I think this is a simpler, clearer, and more flexible API!
This is a cute thing that I think sets us up for other stuff down the
line: move more of the outfit appearance logic into the `Outfit` class!
Now, we set up the item page with a temporary instance of `Outfit`,
then ask for its `visible_layers`.
Still missing restricted-zones logic and such, that's next!
Nice, gotta say, this is a pretty neat way of making things feel more
app-y! There's some missing pieces here about like, loading state etc,
but the vibes are pretty good, and the implementation was dead-easy!
Just stripping out the big React component, and having Rails output it!
There's a lot of work rn in extracting the Impress 2020 dependency from
the `wardrobe-2020` React app, and I'm just curious to see if we can
simplify it at all by pulling this stuff *way* back to basics, and
deleting the item page part of `wardrobe-2020` altogether.
In this draft, we regress a lot of functionality: it just shows the
item on a Blue Acara, with no ability to change it! I'm gonna play with
putting more of that back in.
I also haven't actually removed any of the item page React code; I just
stopped calling it. That can be a cleanup for another time, once we're
confident in this experiment!
This is a Ruby language server that integrates with my editor! Static
analysis of Ruby and Rails is pretty tricky, but it's working and I
think that's neat!!
Oh huh, TIL in Ruby `^` *always* means "start of line", whereas in many
languages' regular expression engines it means "start of string" unless
you enable a special multiline flag for the pattern.
I've fixed this in a number of expressions now!
I'm noticing this in the context of doing some security training work
where this the cause of a sample vulnerability, but, looking at our own
case, I don't think there was anything *abusable* here? But this is
just more correct, so let's be more correct!
I think the parens are silly now that this paragraph is just kinda all
bonus clarification info anyway. And I wanted to explain the cost
computation for the potions, and highlight the bundle thing!
If the item names are long, it helps to give them more room to breathe!
Whereas if they're short, it looks silly and makes it harder to scan
the table.
Just an extra bit of help for e.g. Dyeworks items with long names!
Huh, I thought I'd tried some invalid dates and they gave me
*surprising* output instead of raising an error. Well, maybe it can do
both, depending on exactly the nature of the unexpected input?
In any case, I found that a bad month name like "UwU" raised an error.
So, let's catch it if so!
Oh right, if I assume "date in the past means it's for next year", then
that means that, when the date *does pass*, we won't realize it!
e.g. if Owls says "Dyeable Thru July 15", then on July 14 we'll parse
that as July 15, 2024; but on July 16 we'll parse it as July 16, 2025,
and so we'll think it's *still* dyeable. Under this logic, it's
actually impossible for a limited Dyeworks date to *ever* be in the
past, I think!
I think 3 months is a good compromise: it gives Owls plenty of time to
update, but allows for events that could last as long as 9 months into
the future, if I'm doing my math right.
The table layout algo can get a bit funky about how it assigns extra
space, I want to encourage things like "Total: 5 items" etc not to
wrap, esp in the Dyeworks case where it's quite long!
There's more and more going on in here! Let's omit the base item name,
increase the table width a bit in this case, and tweak the rest a bit
while we're here.
I uhhh literally didn't know Dyeworks was a gacha system until Kaye
from the Owls team told me lmao
I should maybe uhh read more guides instead of assuming I've osmosed
things correctly oops!
Ahh, I started a tabs-y file (as I default to these days), but copied
code from a spaces-y file, and didn't notice. (My laptop editor isn't
configured to flag this for me, oops!)
Fixed!
This doesn't affect a lot right now, it was previously defaulting to
UTC I think? And I've confirmed that, while timestamps are stored in
the database as UTC, they're not interpreted any differently with this
setting. (Or, rather, it's loaded as a `DateTime` object for the same
moment in time, but in the NST time zone. Good!)
But this feels like a more useful default for displaying things for
development etc, and moreover, I'm working on some logic for things
like "when do limited-time Dyeworks items expire exactly?", and that
logic is made *much* simpler if we can just compare dates in NST by
default rather than fudge around with the zones on them and figuring
out the correct midnight!
(Although, as I type this, I think I maybe have thought of an easier
way to do it? So maybe this change won't actually be necessary for
that, but it still feels like a more sensible default for us
regardless!)
There's just starting to be a lot going on, so I pulled them out into
here!
I also considered a like, `Item::DyeworksStatus` class, and then you'd
go like, `item.dyeworks.buyable?`. But idk, I think it's nice that the
current API is simple for callers, and being able to do things like
`items.filter(&:dyeworks_buyable?)` is pretty darn convenient.
This solution lets us keep the increasing number of Dyeworks methods
from polluting the main `item.rb`, while still keeping the API
identical!
Oh this was a fun little dev environment bug: I ran `public_data:pull`
on my laptop before migrating my database, so the `items` table pulled
as the latest production version, which included the migrations, but
they hadn't been marked as "run" yet.
So Rails was still telling me I needed to run them, but the migrations
themselves were crashing, with stuff like "there's already a column
with this name!"
This change ensures that `public_data:pull` won't run until migrations
are done, to prevent silly accidents like that.
Silly mistake, right, we might not have a trade value listed! This is
relevant for the new Dyeworks items that just came out like a few hours
ago, which Owls doesn't have info for yet.
Lmao I've been testing with an outfit that has all the kinds of items,
so I didn't notice that this new refactor to `@items[:dyeworks]` style
of tracking the items returns `nil` when there's none, instead of `[]`.
(I always make this mistake when I use `group_by` lmao sob)
In this change, we give the `@items` hash a default value, so that will
stop happening!
Oh right, this previously logic was silly: we can't count on the
*interval itself* to be reliably resetting the FPS counter state,
because the interval might not be firing!
I think this fix worked when I tried brief tests, but didn't work when
I did an (accidental) longer test, because the browser switched to a
more aggressive throttle mode, and the previous mode was close enough
on the resets for it to be fine, whereas this time the FPS counter
state got way too old.
Now, we reset the FPS counter state *exactly* when the page comes back.
