This doesn't matter a ton in production, where we already have most of
our manifests loaded! But it matters a lot on my relatively-fresh
development instance, at times like now when images.neopets.com is slow
to respond. A single item search was taking minutes before this change
(5 seconds of timeout per asset for 30 items!), but now takes a few
seconds the first time, as it should!
Note that there's a known performance issue here: we should try to
fetch all the OWLS values at once, instead of doing them in sequence
while rendering the page!
Oh jeez, idk why this was ever in here, but yeah no, I want to be using
default browser focus outlines unless specifically overridden otherwise.
Will help keyboard navigation a lot! Yikes!!
Now, for colors like Mutant or Magma where there's no paint brush
image to show, we use a sample pet image instead, to help it have equal
visual weight and clarity as the cases with the paint brushes.
We do some cleverness in here to make sure to always show the relevant
species, if possible!
Ohh yeah, this helps communicate the process much better, especially
for what the Shops/Trades links mean.
I think I'm gonna also go get the paint brush thumbnail images and add
them to the database too, to help better communicate that this is a
paint brush item situation.
Clearer focus states, row changes bg color on hover/focus to help you
track where you are, remove the redundant image thumbnail link from the
tab order (it's the same as the item name link!)
As part of this, I added a new `search_icon` helper, and a new
`button_link_to` helper, which both styles the link as a button and
accepts an `icon` parameter to make it easier to pass in an icon!
I'm not sure when TNT changed this, but the Shop Wizard has a new
canonical URL now! The previous one redirects, but it does *not* pass
along query string parameters, so these buttons would correctly go to
the Shop Wizard but not auto-fill the name!
Now, we go directly to the new canonical URL, with query params in hand!
This is just a tech update: instead of using hand-built URLs with
`CGI::escape`, I use `Addressable::Template`, which is a more reliable
way to build URLs in general.
The motivation here is that I noticed the Shop Wizard link is actually
broken! And I wanted to fix this while I was here, but I figured let's
split that into a separate commit than this refactor. See next!
This helps us be more efficient with our use of space, keep the CTAs well
aligned, show a clear total, and set up how we might do CTAs for more complex
cases like all the potential Neopoint CTAs like Wiz/Trades/Auction/etc!
Now that we have this helper, we no longer need these stylesheets to
include a `body.controller-action` wrapper to scope all the styles!
Someday we should convert more of our stylesheets to this format,
instead of slamming them all into `application.sass` like we do now.
Ah, well!
NC prices, some CSS, and also a new application-level helper that adds
a feature I've long wanted and been working around for Turbo: the
ability to specific that a stylesheet is specific to the current page,
and should be unloaded when removed!
I use this to write `sources.sass` without the usual
`body.items-sources` scoping that we've historically used to control
what pages a stylesheet applies to. (In the long past, this was because
a lot of stylesheets were—and still are–routed through the
`application.sass` stylesheet! But even for more recent standalone page
stylesheets, I've done the scoping, to avoid issues with styles leaking
beyond the page they're meant for when Turbo does a navigation.)
This'll affect the recommended acquisition method by a lot!
NC Mall info like current price isn't surfaced anywhere else in the app
right now. It'd probably be good to add to the item page, and maybe
some other places too!
Currently we only load the homepage, so there's only actually one
wearable item to sync up! But here's the task to do it!
To do this, we also created the backing model NCMallRecord, where we'll
save the current NC Mall state!
This doesn't connect to anything yet, I'm just doing the beginnings of
loading NC Mall item data!
My intent is to run this regularly to keep our own NC info in the
database too, primarily for use in the Item Getting Guide. (Could be
useful to surface in other places too though!) This will help us split
items into those that can be one-click purchased with the NC Mall
integration, vs NC items that need to be acquired by other means.
TNT requested that we figure out ways to connect the dots between
people's intentions on DTI to their purchases in the NC Mall.
But rather than just slam ad links everywhere, our plan is to design an
actually useful feature about it: the "Item Getting Guide". It'll break
down items by how you can actually get them (NP economy, NC Mall,
retired NC, Dyeworks, etc), and we're planning some cute actions you
can take, like shortcuts for getting them onto trade wishlists or into
your NC Mall cart.
This is just a little demo version of the page, just breaking down
items specified in the URL into NC/NP/PB! Later we'll do more granular
breakdown than this, with more info and actions—and we'll also like,
link to it at all, which isn't the case yet! (The main way we expect
people to get here is by a "Get these items" button we'll add to the
outfit editor, but there might be other paths, too.)
Oops, prior to this commit, searching for "white peach" would return
nothing, whereas now it correctly returns the "Dyeworks White: Just
Peachy Filter", like if you search in the Infinite Closet!
This solution is a bit hacky, wrote some more in the comments about how
to maybe do this better!
Oops, right, this meta tag that runs on all pages currently crashes if
we can't read the credentials file!
Instead, let's just allow this value to be `nil` if not present.
Idk how we got into this state, or if it's environment-dependent or
MySQL-version-dependent or what, but setting up the dev environment on
my macOS machine is complaining that `TEXT` columns can't have default
values.
Well, in that case, let's just have it be a non-nullable field, and add
a note to our code that missing fields *can* cause item saving to fail!
(This was always true, but I'm just extra-noting it because it's
becoming *more* true.)
I refresh the image and UI color here to draw attention to the change!
I also delete the `neopass-thumbnail.png` image, since it's no longer
used anywhere anymore, but I would not be surprised if we want it back
someday and need to revive it from history!
Simple enough to start! If `shadowbanned: true` gets set on a user,
then we show a 404 instead of the actual list page, *unless* you're
logged in as that user, or coming from a known IP of that user.
This isn't a very strong mechanism! Just something to hopefully
increase the costs of messing around with list spam.
Just a lil blurb to make sure it's clear that NC sales and stuff are
forbidden! I imagine the people doing it know this, but I want to make
sure we're being explicit, in case there's any element of
miscommunication.
This hasn't been causing issues as far as I know, I just noticed
*months ago* that I forgot to do this, and have had a sticky note about
it on my desk since then lol.
I tested this by temporarily setting the timeout to `0.5`, and watching
it fail!
A further optimization, this lets us use the image hash as the new hash
for the pet type if it would be useful! (whereas before this change,
we'd dip into `fetch_metadata` and just get back `nil`, which was okay
too but a little bit less helpful!)
Ahh, we recently added a step to pet loading that sends a metadata
request to `PetService.getPet`, which is now (in a sense, correctly!)
raising a `PetNotFound` error when we try modeling with a "pet" that
starts with `@` (a trick we use in situations where we can get an image
hash for a modeling situation, but not an irl pet itself).
In this change, we make it no longer a crashing issue if the pet
metadata request fails: it's not a big deal to have a `PetType` have no
image hash or not have it be up-to-date!
In the next change, I'll also add an optimization to skip fetching it
altogether in this case—but I wanted to see this work first, because
the more general resilience is more important imo!
In particular, we got feedback that it was surprising to not get to
check which NeoPass you wanted to use, and that the permissions were
never prompted again. I figure let's err on the side of ample clarity!
As part of this, I've added the new `external_link_icon` global helper,
which embeds an SVG from Chakra UI. That's just the convenient place I
know to grab that icon, and I did it this way instead of an `img` tag
because that enables the `currentColor` thing to work instead of coming
out black!
