We have a feature to check the movie's FPS, and pause it if it gets too
low, as a guard against especially low-performance movies. But this was
triggering in an *expected* case, where browsers intentionally throttle
interval events when a page is in the background (e.g. you switch to
another tab).
Now, our rendering is aware of page visibility: when the page is
hidden, don't bother rendering, and keep resetting the FPS counter
state, so that we can pick up with a fresh FPS counter when the page
comes back.
This happens on the Baby Kougra, where for most poses half of the
assets have a manifest that includes an SVG but no PNG. Skip 'em!
I considered adding a glitch tag for this, but idk I think we can do
that once we're aware of an actual case where this causes visible
issues.
I'm not planning to port full Alt Style support over to the 2020
frontend, I really am winding that down, but adding a couple lil API
parameters are *by far* the easiest way to get Alt Styles working in
the main app because of how it calls the 2020 API. So here we are, just
using new parameters for DTI 2020 that I'm gonna deploy to impress-2020
first!
Yay it works(*)! But two major missing pieces:
- Outfit saving doesn't persist it at all
- Item compatibility is unaffected: items will still appear in search
and in the preview, even when they don't fit anymore.
To activate this, I created a `.env.development` file in my project
root, with the following content:
```env
IMPRESS_2020_ORIGIN=http://localhost:4000
```
Then, I started impress-2020 with `yarn dev --port=4000`.
Now, the app loads from there, hooray!! It even fixes that obnoxious
pet state ID bug that happens when you run against the production db lol
Ok cool, I have just not been running any of this since moving out of
impress-2020, but now that we're doing serious JS work in here it's time
to turn it back on!!
1. Install eslint and the plugins we use
2. Set up a `yarn lint` command
3. Set up a git hook via husky to lint on pre-commit
4. Fix/disable all the lint errors!
Rather than letting the fact that the server API models outfits a bit
differently (underscore keys, integer IDs for things), I'd rather
convert it to the familiar field names and expected types!
This came in a few parts!
1. Add meta tags to let us know we're logged in.
2. Install React Query, which has the data-loading sensibilities I like
about Apollo without the GraphQL that has honestly been a drag.
3. Replace the outfit-loading and outfit-saving calls with API calls to
the main app.
4. Update the main app's API calls to use our more flexible data
constructs like "pose".
Would've loved to do this more incrementally, but it's hard to! You
can't split out outfit-loading and outfit-saving, or auth from any of
that, or the state gets all out-of-sorts.
Still, this is a good nugget we've pulled out all-in-all, and one that
people have been asking for! Can maybe look to logged-in item search
soon too, for own/want data?
Moreover, this code is in a bit of a flimsy state anyway: it'll kinda
work if you're logged in at impress-2020.openneo.net, but that wasn't
intentionally engineered, and I'm not sure exactly what circumstances
cause those cookies to send vs not send?
My intent is to clean up to replace all this with login code that
references the main app instead… this'll require swapping out some
endpoints to refer to what the main app has, but I'm hoping that's not
so tricky to do, since the main app does offer basically all of this
functionality already anyway. (That's not to say it's simple, but I
think it's a migration in the right direction!)
Ohh I see, I made a mistake converting this from Next.js routing. It's
not that we had a URL search parameter named `outfitId`; it's that if
you were coming from the `/outfits/:outfitId` route, it would use that!
I still haven't gotten the rest of the site to point that route to this
page, but I'll do that in a later change.
Looks like the version of Prettier I just installed is v3, whereas our
last run in the impress-2020 repo was with v2. I don't think we had any
special config in that project, I think these are just changes to
Prettier's defaults, and I'm comfortable accepting them! (Mostly seems
like a lot of trailing commas.)
This is an important workflow for people doing art stuff, I'm told! They used to use the Classic DTI broken image UI for this, but now that that's uhh Fully Gone, let's add this more explicitly!
We add jsbuilding-rails to get esbuild running in the app, and then we copy-paste the files we need from impress-2020 into here!
I stopped at the point where it was building successfully, but it's not running correctly: it's not sure about `process.env` in `next`, and I think the right next step is to delete the NextJS deps altogether and use React Router instead.
