### 🔴 GOTCHA #9: Hiding Inputs from Property Panel Requires Custom editorType (Jan 2026)
|
||||
|
||||
**THE BUG:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// ❌ WRONG - hidden: true doesn't work
|
||||
generatedCode: {
|
||||
type: 'string',
|
||||
hidden: true, // ☠️ IGNORED - still renders in property panel
|
||||
set: function(value) { ... }
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// ❌ WRONG - allowEditOnly doesn't hide
|
||||
generatedCode: {
|
||||
type: {
|
||||
name: 'string',
|
||||
allowEditOnly: true // ☠️ Still renders (just prevents connections)
|
||||
},
|
||||
set: function(value) { ... }
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**WHY IT BREAKS:**
|
||||
|
||||
- The property panel's `viewClassForPort()` in `Ports.ts` determines what renders
|
||||
- `hidden: true` is ignored because it's not checked in the port filtering logic
|
||||
- `allowEditOnly: true` only prevents port connections, doesn't hide from UI
|
||||
- If `viewClassForPort()` returns ANY class, the input WILL render
|
||||
|
||||
**THE FIX:** Create a custom editorType that returns an invisible element:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// Step 1: In runtime node definition (logic-builder.js)
|
||||
generatedCode: {
|
||||
type: {
|
||||
name: 'string',
|
||||
allowEditOnly: true,
|
||||
editorType: 'logic-builder-hidden' // Custom type
|
||||
},
|
||||
displayName: 'Generated Code',
|
||||
set: function(value) {
|
||||
this._internal.generatedCode = value;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Step 2: Create hidden type (LogicBuilderHiddenType.ts)
|
||||
export class LogicBuilderHiddenType extends TypeView {
|
||||
render() {
|
||||
// Return invisible element - takes no space
|
||||
this.el = $('<div style="display: none;"></div>');
|
||||
return this.el;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Step 3: Register in Ports.ts viewClassForPort()
|
||||
if (typeof type === 'object' && type.editorType === 'logic-builder-hidden') {
|
||||
return LogicBuilderHiddenType;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**ARCHITECTURE INSIGHT:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
|
||||
│ Runtime Node Definition (logic-builder.js) │
|
||||
│ inputs: { generatedCode: { editorType: 'logic-builder-hidden' } } │
|
||||
└────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────────┘
|
||||
│
|
||||
▼
|
||||
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
|
||||
│ Ports.ts viewClassForPort() │
|
||||
│ if (type.editorType === 'logic-builder-hidden') │
|
||||
│ return LogicBuilderHiddenType; // Renders nothing │
|
||||
└────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────────┘
|
||||
│
|
||||
▼
|
||||
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
|
||||
│ Property Panel renders <div style="display: none;"></div> │
|
||||
│ User sees nothing - input is effectively hidden │
|
||||
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**CRITICAL:** You MUST:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Define the input in the runtime node (so runtime receives the value via setter)
|
||||
2. Create a custom TypeView that renders an invisible element
|
||||
3. Register the editorType check in Ports.ts BEFORE other type checks
|
||||
|
||||
**RULE:** To hide an input from the property panel while still storing/persisting the value, create a custom `editorType` with a TypeView class that renders `display: none`.

## Investigation Findings (January 16, 2026)
|
||||
|
||||
### What I Checked
|
||||
|
||||
1. **`LogicBuilder.AllTabsClosed` handler** - Just shows the canvas, NOT deleting nodes ✅
|
||||
2. **`CanvasTabsContext.closeTab()`** - Only removes tab from state, doesn't touch nodes ✅
|
||||
3. **Event propagation** - Tab close button uses `e.stopPropagation()` ✅
|
||||
|
||||
### Most Likely Culprits
|
||||
|
||||
Based on the code review, the most likely causes are:
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1. Keyboard Focus + Delete Key
|
||||
|
||||
When the Blockly tab closes, focus may return to the canvas with the node still selected. If Delete/Backspace is pressed (or held down from Blockly editing), it could trigger node deletion.
|
||||
|
||||
**Test:** After closing Blockly tab, check if the node is still selected. Try pressing Delete immediately after closing.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 2. `clearDeleteModeTimer` in nodegrapheditor.ts (line 185)
|
||||
|
||||
There's a timer for "delete mode" in the node graph editor. This could be related to delayed deletion behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 3. Race Condition with Canvas Visibility
|
||||
|
||||
When `LogicBuilder.AllTabsClosed` triggers `setCanvasVisibility(true)`, the canvas re-renders. If the node was selected before opening Blockly, and some keyboard event fires during the transition, it could trigger deletion.
|
||||
|
||||
### Recommended Debug Steps
|
||||
|
||||
1. Add console logging to the Delete key handler to see when it fires
|
||||
2. Log node selection state when closing Blockly tab
|
||||
3. Log any pending timers (clearDeleteModeTimer)
|
||||
4. Check if node exists BEFORE and AFTER `LogicBuilder.AllTabsClosed` event
|
||||
|
||||
### Potential Quick Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Add a guard in the delete handler to ignore deletion when a Blockly tab was just closed:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// In delete handler
|
||||
if (Date.now() - lastBlocklyTabCloseTime < 100) {
|
||||
console.warn('[NodeGraphEditor] Ignoring delete during Blockly tab close transition');
|
||||
return;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```

# BUG-6: App Component Not Clickable in Component Menu
|
||||
|
||||
**Priority:** P0 - Blocks basic workflow
|
||||
**Status:** 🔴 Research completed - Ready to implement
|
||||
**Reported:** January 16, 2026

|
||||
|
||||
## Issue
|
||||
|
||||
Can't click on the 'App' component (or any component-folder) in the left component menu to view its node canvas. The App component is being treated like a folder - clicking it only expands/collapses it but doesn't open the component's node canvas.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Root Cause Found
|
||||
|
||||
In `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/panels/ComponentsPanelNew/hooks/useComponentsPanel.ts`:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Handle item click
|
||||
const handleItemClick = useCallback(
|
||||
(node: TreeNode) => {
|
||||
if (node.type === 'component') {
|
||||
setSelectedId(node.data.name);
|
||||
// Opens the component - works correctly
|
||||
const component = node.data.component;
|
||||
if (component) {
|
||||
EventDispatcher.instance.notifyListeners('ComponentPanel.SwitchToComponent', {
|
||||
component,
|
||||
pushHistory: true
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
// ❌ BUG: This only toggles folder expand/collapse
|
||||
// It NEVER opens component-folders!
|
||||
setSelectedId(node.data.path);
|
||||
toggleFolder(node.data.path);
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
[toggleFolder]
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The problem: When a component has nested children (like "App" with child components), it's rendered as a **folder** in the tree with `type: 'folder'`. Even though it's marked as `isComponentFolder: true` and has a `component` reference, clicking on it only toggles the folder - it never opens the component canvas.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Expected Behavior
|
||||
|
||||
1. Single-click on a component-folder should **open the component canvas**
|
||||
2. Expand/collapse should happen via the arrow icon OR could be a secondary behavior
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Solution Options
|
||||
|
||||
### Option A: Open on Click, Toggle via Arrow (Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
Modify `handleItemClick` to open component-folders:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const handleItemClick = useCallback(
|
||||
(node: TreeNode) => {
|
||||
if (node.type === 'component') {
|
||||
// Regular component - open it
|
||||
setSelectedId(node.data.name);
|
||||
const component = node.data.component;
|
||||
if (component) {
|
||||
EventDispatcher.instance.notifyListeners('ComponentPanel.SwitchToComponent', {
|
||||
component,
|
||||
pushHistory: true
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
// It's a folder
|
||||
setSelectedId(node.data.path);
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ FIX: If it's a component-folder, open the component
|
||||
if (node.data.isComponentFolder && node.data.component) {
|
||||
EventDispatcher.instance.notifyListeners('ComponentPanel.SwitchToComponent', {
|
||||
component: node.data.component,
|
||||
pushHistory: true
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Still toggle the folder
|
||||
toggleFolder(node.data.path);
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
[toggleFolder]
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Option B: Separate Click Targets
|
||||
|
||||
- Click on folder name = opens component
|
||||
- Click on arrow = toggles expand/collapse
|
||||
|
||||
This requires UI changes to the FolderItem component.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Files to Modify
|
||||
|
||||
1. `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/panels/ComponentsPanelNew/hooks/useComponentsPanel.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
- Update `handleItemClick` to handle component-folders
|
||||
|
||||
2. Optionally: `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/panels/ComponentsPanelNew/components/FolderItem.tsx`
|
||||
- If we want separate click targets for open vs expand
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing Plan
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Create a project with App component that has child components
|
||||
- [ ] Click on 'App' in the component menu
|
||||
- [ ] Verify the App component's node canvas is displayed
|
||||
- [ ] Verify the folder still expands/collapses (either on same click or via arrow)
|
||||
- [ ] Test with nested component-folders (multiple levels deep)
|
||||
- [ ] Ensure regular folders (non-component) still only toggle expand
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Related
|
||||
|
||||
- Component-folders are created when a component like `/App` has child components like `/App/Header`
|
||||
- The tree building logic correctly identifies these with `isComponentFolder: true`
|
||||
- The click handler just wasn't using this information

# BUG-7: Broken Editor Icons (SVG Files Not Found)
|
||||
|
||||
**Priority:** P0 - Visual breakage
|
||||
**Status:** 🔴 Research completed - Ready to implement
|
||||
**Reported:** January 16, 2026
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Issue
|
||||
|
||||
Several editor icons are broken. The console shows errors like:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
/assets/icons/editor/right_arrow_22.svg:1
|
||||
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND
|
||||
/assets/icons/comment.svg:1
|
||||
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
These icons appear as broken images in:
|
||||
|
||||
- Node Picker category collapse/expand arrows
|
||||
- Comment action button in Node Picker
|
||||
- Possibly other places throughout the editor
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Root Cause Found
|
||||
|
||||
The icons are referenced using **absolute paths** that don't resolve correctly in Electron:
|
||||
|
||||
### NodePickerCategory.tsx (line 85):
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
<img
|
||||
className={classNames([css['Arrow'], ...])}
|
||||
src="/assets/icons/editor/right_arrow_22.svg" // ❌ Broken
|
||||
/>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### NodeLibrary.tsx (line 168):
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
<NodePickerOtherItem
|
||||
title="Comment"
|
||||
description="Place a comment in the node graph"
|
||||
onClick={(e) => {...}}
|
||||
icon={<img src="/assets/icons/comment.svg" />} // ❌ Broken
|
||||
/>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In Electron, absolute paths like `/assets/...` resolve to the file system root, not the app's asset directory. This is why the resources aren't found.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Solution
|
||||
|
||||
Replace absolute paths with:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Webpack imports** (preferred for type safety)
|
||||
2. **Relative paths** from the component location
|
||||
|
||||
### Option A: Use Icon Components (Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
Use the existing `Icon` component from `@noodl-core-ui`:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { Icon, IconName, IconSize } from '@noodl-core-ui/components/common/Icon';
|
||||
|
||||
// Instead of:
|
||||
<img src="/assets/icons/editor/right_arrow_22.svg" />
|
||||
|
||||
// Use:
|
||||
<Icon icon={IconName.CaretRight} size={IconSize.Default} />
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Option B: Import SVG as Module
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Import the SVG
|
||||
import rightArrowIcon from '../../../../assets/icons/editor/right_arrow_22.svg';
|
||||
|
||||
// Use with img tag
|
||||
<img src={rightArrowIcon} />;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Option C: Use Relative Path
|
||||
|
||||
If the asset is in the public folder and properly configured:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Relative to the Electron app root
|
||||
<img src="./assets/icons/editor/right_arrow_22.svg" />
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Files to Fix
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. NodePickerCategory.tsx
|
||||
|
||||
**Location:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/NodePicker/components/NodePickerCategory/NodePickerCategory.tsx`
|
||||
|
||||
**Line 85:**
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// BEFORE:
|
||||
src="/assets/icons/editor/right_arrow_22.svg"
|
||||
|
||||
// AFTER (Option A - preferred):
|
||||
import { Icon, IconName, IconSize } from '@noodl-core-ui/components/common/Icon';
|
||||
// Replace <img> with:
|
||||
<Icon icon={IconName.CaretRight} size={IconSize.Small} />
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. NodeLibrary.tsx
|
||||
|
||||
**Location:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/NodePicker/tabs/NodeLibrary/NodeLibrary.tsx`
|
||||
|
||||
**Line 168:**
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// BEFORE:
|
||||
icon={<img src="/assets/icons/comment.svg" />}
|
||||
|
||||
// AFTER:
|
||||
import { Icon, IconName } from '@noodl-core-ui/components/common/Icon';
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
icon={<Icon icon={IconName.Comment} />}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Investigation: Find All Broken Icon Paths
|
||||
|
||||
Run this to find all potentially broken icon references:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
grep -rn '"/assets/icons' packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/
|
||||
grep -rn "'/assets/icons" packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Expected files to check:
|
||||
|
||||
- NodePickerCategory.tsx
|
||||
- NodeLibrary.tsx
|
||||
- Any other legacy components using old icon patterns
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Alternative: Asset Path Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
If many places use this pattern, consider configuring Webpack to resolve `/assets/` to the correct directory. But individual fixes are cleaner for now.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing Plan
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Open the Node Picker (double-click on canvas or press space)
|
||||
- [ ] Verify category expand/collapse arrows are visible
|
||||
- [ ] Verify Comment action icon is visible in "Other" section
|
||||
- [ ] Check browser console for any remaining asset errors
|
||||
- [ ] Test in both dev mode and production build
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Success Criteria
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] No "ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND" errors for icon assets in console
|
||||
- [ ] All Node Picker icons display correctly
|
||||
- [ ] Arrow icons animate correctly on expand/collapse
|
||||
- [ ] Comment icon visible and recognizable

# BUG-8: Node Picker Search Not Auto-Expanding Categories
|
||||
|
||||
**Priority:** P1 - UX regression
|
||||
**Status:** 🔴 Research needed
|
||||
**Reported:** January 16, 2026
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Issue
|
||||
|
||||
When typing in the Node Picker search box:
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ Categories are correctly **filtered** to only show those containing matching nodes
|
||||
- ❌ Categories stay **collapsed** and must be manually opened to see results
|
||||
- **Expected:** Categories should auto-expand when search filter is active
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Previous Behavior (Working)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open Node Picker
|
||||
2. Start typing a node name (e.g., "button")
|
||||
3. Categories filter to only show matching results
|
||||
4. **Categories automatically expand** to show the matching nodes
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Current Behavior (Broken)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open Node Picker
|
||||
2. Start typing a node name
|
||||
3. Categories filter correctly
|
||||
4. **Categories stay collapsed** - user must click each category to see results

||||

||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Code Investigation
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Files
|
||||
|
||||
**NodeLibrary.tsx** uses these from hooks:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const {
|
||||
cursorState,
|
||||
openAllCategories, // Function exists to expand all
|
||||
closeAllCategories, // Function exists to collapse all
|
||||
handleSearchUpdate,
|
||||
focusSearch
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
} = useKeyboardCursor(renderedNodes);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Category collapse is controlled by:**
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// NodeLibrary.tsx line ~105
|
||||
isCollapsed={getIsCategoryCollapsed(cursorState, category.name)}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Selector in NodePicker.selectors.ts:**
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
export function getIsCategoryCollapsed(cursorState: ICursorState, categoryName: string) {
|
||||
const category = cursorState?.allCategories.find((category) => category.name === categoryName);
|
||||
return category ? category.isCollapsed : true; // Defaults to true (collapsed)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Where Auto-Expand Should Happen
|
||||
|
||||
The `useSearchBar` hook is passed `openAllCategories`:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// NodeLibrary.tsx line ~68
|
||||
const setSearchTerm = useSearchBar(
|
||||
searchInput,
|
||||
setRenderedNodes,
|
||||
items,
|
||||
cursorState.cursorContext,
|
||||
openAllCategories, // ← This should be called when searching
|
||||
closeAllCategories,
|
||||
handleSearchUpdate
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Hypothesis
|
||||
|
||||
The `useSearchBar` hook should be calling `openAllCategories()` when the search term is non-empty, but either:
|
||||
|
||||
1. It's not calling it at all
|
||||
2. It's calling it but the state isn't being applied to categories
|
||||
3. The category `isCollapsed` state is being reset elsewhere
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Files to Investigate
|
||||
|
||||
1. `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/NodePicker/NodePicker.hooks.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
- Check `useSearchBar` implementation
|
||||
- Verify `openAllCategories` is being called
|
||||
|
||||
2. `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/NodePicker/NodePicker.reducer.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
- Check how `isCollapsed` state is managed
|
||||
- Verify the action for opening all categories works
|
||||
|
||||
3. `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/NodePicker/tabs/NodeLibrary/NodeLibrary.tsx`
|
||||
- Verify the wiring is correct
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Potential Fixes
|
||||
|
||||
### Option A: Call openAllCategories in useSearchBar
|
||||
|
||||
Ensure `useSearchBar` calls `openAllCategories()` when search term becomes non-empty:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// In useSearchBar hook
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
if (searchTerm.length > 0) {
|
||||
openAllCategories(); // Expand when searching
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
closeAllCategories(); // Collapse when search cleared
|
||||
}
|
||||
}, [searchTerm, openAllCategories, closeAllCategories]);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Option B: Force Expand via Selector
|
||||
|
||||
Modify the selector to return `false` (expanded) when there's an active search:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
export function getIsCategoryCollapsed(cursorState: ICursorState, categoryName: string) {
|
||||
// If searching, always show expanded
|
||||
if (cursorState.searchTerm && cursorState.searchTerm.length > 0) {
|
||||
return false;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
const category = cursorState?.allCategories.find((category) => category.name === categoryName);
|
||||
return category ? category.isCollapsed : true;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Option C: Check for Stale State Issue
|
||||
|
||||
The `openAllCategories` might be called but the state change isn't propagating because of a stale closure or missing dependency.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing Plan
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Open Node Picker
|
||||
- [ ] Start typing "button" in search
|
||||
- [ ] Verify categories containing "Button" auto-expand
|
||||
- [ ] Clear search
|
||||
- [ ] Verify categories collapse back
|
||||
- [ ] Test with keyboard navigation (arrow keys)
|
||||
- [ ] Test search → collapse/expand → search again flow
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Success Criteria
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Categories auto-expand when search filter is active
|
||||
- [ ] User can immediately see matching nodes without manual clicks
|
||||
- [ ] Categories collapse when search is cleared
|
||||
- [ ] Keyboard navigation still works correctly
|
||||
- [ ] No performance regression with many categories
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Related
|
||||
|
||||
- NodePicker uses React state management via `useReducer`
|
||||
- The `cursorState` contains category collapse states
|
||||
- This is likely a regression from previous changes to NodePicker

# BUG-9: Properties Panel Not Responsive to Width Changes
|
||||
|
||||
**Priority:** P1 - UX annoyance
|
||||
**Status:** 🔴 Research needed
|
||||
**Reported:** January 16, 2026
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Issue
|
||||
|
||||
When resizing the left sidebar panel by dragging:
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ The left panel container correctly expands/shrinks
|
||||
- ❌ The properties panel content **stays fixed width** and doesn't expand to fill the available space
|
||||
- Result: Wasted whitespace when panel is widened
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Expected Behavior
|
||||
|
||||
When the user widens the left panel by dragging:
|
||||
|
||||
1. The entire side panel container expands
|
||||
2. The properties panel content **responsively expands** to use the new width
|
||||
3. Form fields, inputs, and content fill the available horizontal space
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Current Behavior
|
||||
|
||||
1. User widens the left panel by dragging
|
||||
2. The container expands
|
||||
3. The properties panel content **stays at a fixed width**
|
||||
4. Large empty space appears on the right side of the panel
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Likely Causes
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Fixed Width on PropertyEditor Container
|
||||
|
||||
The property editor or one of its parent containers likely has a fixed `width` value instead of responsive sizing:
|
||||
|
||||
```scss
|
||||
// Problem pattern:
|
||||
.PropertyEditor {
|
||||
width: 280px; // ❌ Fixed - won't expand
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Should be:
|
||||
.PropertyEditor {
|
||||
width: 100%; // ✅ Fills available space
|
||||
max-width: 400px; // Optional upper limit
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Missing Flex Properties
|
||||
|
||||
Parent containers may be missing proper flex properties:
|
||||
|
||||
```scss
|
||||
// Problem pattern:
|
||||
.Container {
|
||||
display: flex;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Should have:
|
||||
.Container {
|
||||
display: flex;
|
||||
flex: 1; // Grow to fill space
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Incorrect Content Sizing
|
||||
|
||||
Inner content may have fixed widths that override responsive parent:
|
||||
|
||||
```scss
|
||||
// Problem pattern:
|
||||
.PropertyPanelInput {
|
||||
width: 200px; // ❌ Fixed
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Should be:
|
||||
.PropertyPanelInput {
|
||||
width: 100%; // ✅ Fills parent
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Files to Investigate
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Investigation Steps
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Inspect in DevTools
|
||||
|
||||
Open DevTools (Cmd+Opt+I) and:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Select the property panel container
|
||||
2. Manually adjust width in CSS
|
||||
3. Identify which element is constraining width
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Search for Fixed Widths
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Find fixed width declarations in property panel files
|
||||
grep -rn "width:" packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/panels/propertyeditor/
|
||||
grep -rn "width:" packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/property-panel/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Check Flex Properties
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Find flex-related styles
|
||||
grep -rn "flex:" packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/panels/propertyeditor/
|
||||
grep -rn "flex-grow\|flex-shrink" packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/panels/propertyeditor/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Potential Fixes
|
||||
|
||||
### Option A: Make PropertyEditor Container Responsive
|
||||
|
||||
```scss
|
||||
.PropertyEditor {
|
||||
width: 100%;
|
||||
min-width: 200px; // Minimum usable width
|
||||
max-width: 100%; // Allow full expansion
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Option B: Add Flex Growth
|
||||
|
||||
```scss
|
||||
.PanelItem {
|
||||
display: flex;
|
||||
flex-direction: column;
|
||||
flex: 1;
|
||||
width: 100%;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
.PropertyEditor {
|
||||
flex: 1;
|
||||
width: 100%;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Option C: Fix Input Field Widths
|
||||
|
||||
If inputs have fixed widths:
|
||||
|
||||
```scss
|
||||
.PropertyPanelInput {
|
||||
width: 100%;
|
||||
max-width: none; // Remove any max-width constraint
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Testing Plan
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Open a project and select a node with properties
|
||||
- [ ] Drag the left panel border to widen it
|
||||
- [ ] Verify property panel content expands with the panel
|
||||
- [ ] Test with different panel widths (narrow, medium, wide)
|
||||
- [ ] Verify input fields remain usable at all sizes
|
||||
- [ ] Test with nested property groups (expanded sections)
|
||||
- [ ] Test on different node types (simple vs complex properties)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Success Criteria
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Properties panel content fills available horizontal space
|
||||
- [ ] No large empty areas when panel is widened
|
||||
- [ ] Input fields expand proportionally
|
||||
- [ ] Layout remains usable at minimum width
|
||||
- [ ] No overflow/cutoff issues at narrow widths
|
||||
- [ ] Smooth resize without jank

## [2026-01-16 12:00] - BUG-6 COMPLETE: App Component Click Fix
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue
|
||||
|
||||
Clicking on the 'App' component (or any component-folder) in the left component menu only toggled expand/collapse - it didn't open the component's node canvas.
|
||||
|
||||
### Root Cause
|
||||
|
||||
In `useComponentsPanel.ts`, the `handleItemClick` function only handled components of `type: 'component'`. For folders, it only toggled the folder expansion. Component-folders (folders that are also components, like App with children) were not being opened.
|
||||
|
||||
### Solution
|
||||
|
||||
Added check for `isComponentFolder && node.data.component` in the folder branch of `handleItemClick`. When clicking a component-folder:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open the component canvas (via `ComponentPanel.SwitchToComponent` event)
|
||||
2. Toggle the folder expand/collapse
|
||||
|
||||
### Files Modified
|
||||
|
||||
- `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/panels/ComponentsPanelNew/hooks/useComponentsPanel.ts`
|
||||
- Added component-folder opening logic in `handleItemClick` (~line 188-195)
|
||||
|
||||
### Testing Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Click on 'App' component (with children) → Opens App canvas AND toggles folder
|
||||
- [ ] Click on regular folder → Only toggles expand/collapse
|
||||
- [ ] Click on regular component → Opens component canvas
|
||||
- [ ] Component-folders at any nesting depth work correctly

## [2026-01-16 12:15] - BUG-7 COMPLETE: Broken Editor Icons Fix
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue
|
||||
|
||||
Several Node Picker icons were broken due to absolute paths like `/assets/icons/...` not resolving in Electron. Console showed ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND errors for:
|
||||
|
||||
- `/assets/icons/editor/right_arrow_22.svg` (category expand arrows)
|
||||
- `/assets/icons/comment.svg` (comment action icon)
|
||||
|
||||
### Root Cause
|
||||
|
||||
Absolute paths like `/assets/icons/...` resolve to the file system root in Electron, not the app's asset directory. The icons were using `<img src="/assets/...">` which doesn't work.
|
||||
|
||||
### Solution
|
||||
|
||||
Replaced `<img>` tags with the existing `Icon` component from `@noodl-core-ui`:
|
||||
|
||||
**NodePickerCategory.tsx:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Replaced `<img src="/assets/icons/editor/right_arrow_22.svg">`
|
||||
- With `<Icon icon={IconName.CaretRight} size={IconSize.Small} UNSAFE_className={...}>`
|
||||
- CSS animation classes still apply via UNSAFE_className
|
||||
|
||||
**NodeLibrary.tsx:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Replaced `<img src="/assets/icons/comment.svg">`
|
||||
- With `<Icon icon={IconName.Chat} size={IconSize.Default}>`
|
||||
|
||||
### Files Modified
|
||||
|
||||
1. `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/NodePicker/components/NodePickerCategory/NodePickerCategory.tsx`
|
||||
|
||||
- Added import for Icon, IconName, IconSize
|
||||
- Replaced img tag with Icon component
|
||||
|
||||
2. `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/NodePicker/tabs/NodeLibrary/NodeLibrary.tsx`
|
||||
- Added import for Icon, IconName, IconSize
|
||||
- Replaced img tag with Icon component (using Chat icon for comment)
|
||||
|
||||
### Testing Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Open Node Picker (double-click canvas or press space)
|
||||
- [ ] Category expand/collapse arrows visible
|
||||
- [ ] Arrow rotates smoothly on expand/collapse

## [2026-01-16 17:15] - BUG-2 & BUG-2.1 FINAL FIX: Hidden Property Panel Input
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue
|
||||
|
||||
The Logic Builder node showed unwanted "Generated code" label and Edit button in the property panel, cluttering the UI. Users only need to see:
|
||||
|
||||
- "Edit Logic Blocks" button
|
||||
- "View Generated Code" button
|
||||
|
||||
### Root Cause
|
||||
|
||||
There's no built-in way to hide an input from the property panel while still storing its value. The `hidden: true` flag is ignored, and `allowEditOnly: true` only prevents connections.
|
||||
|
||||
### Solution: Custom Hidden editorType
|
||||
|
||||
**Created a new pattern for hiding inputs from property panel:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **New file: `LogicBuilderHiddenType.ts`**
|
||||
|
||||
- Extends TypeView
|
||||
- Returns `<div style="display: none;"></div>` - invisible element
|
||||
- Input value still stored via setter, just not visible
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Updated `Ports.ts`**
|
||||
|
||||
- Added check for `editorType: 'logic-builder-hidden'`
|
||||
- Returns LogicBuilderHiddenType before other type checks
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Updated `logic-builder.js`**
|
||||
- Changed `generatedCode` input to use `editorType: 'logic-builder-hidden'`
|
||||
- Value still stored via setter, just hidden from UI
|
||||
|
||||
### Files Modified
|
||||
|
||||
1. **NEW:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/panels/propertyeditor/DataTypes/LogicBuilderHiddenType.ts`
|
||||
2. `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/panels/propertyeditor/DataTypes/Ports.ts`
|
||||
3. `packages/noodl-runtime/src/nodes/std-library/logic-builder.js`
|
||||
|
||||
### Architecture Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Runtime Node Definition
|
||||
└─ inputs: { generatedCode: { editorType: 'logic-builder-hidden' } }
|
||||
│
|
||||
▼
|
||||
Ports.ts viewClassForPort()
|
||||
└─ if (type.editorType === 'logic-builder-hidden') return LogicBuilderHiddenType
|
||||
│
|
||||
▼
|
||||
Property Panel renders <div style="display: none;"></div>
|
||||
└─ User sees nothing - input effectively hidden
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Learning: GOTCHA #9 Added
|
||||
|
||||
**Added to LEARNINGS-NODE-CREATION.md:**
|
||||
|
||||
To hide an input from property panel while preserving value storage:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create custom TypeView that renders `display: none`
|
||||
2. Register the editorType in Ports.ts before other type checks
|
||||
3. Use the custom editorType in node definition
|
||||
|
||||
### Testing Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
- [x] Property panel shows ONLY "Edit Logic Blocks" and "View Generated Code" buttons
|
||||
- [x] No "Generated code" label visible
|
||||
- [x] No extra Edit button visible
|
||||
- [x] Generated code value still stored when Blockly workspace changes
|
||||
- [x] Node still works correctly at runtime

||||

||||

|
||||
### Bug 6: App Component Click (COMPLETE)
|
||||
|
||||
**Date Completed**: 2026-01-16
|
||||
**Status**: ✅ Working perfectly
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: Clicking component-folders in Components Panel didn't open the canvas
|
||||
|
||||
**Root Cause**: Missing state update after navigating to component
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution**:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// File: useComponentsPanel.ts
|
||||
const isComponentFolder = treeItem.type === TSFixme.TreeItemType.ComponentSheet;
|
||||
if (isComponentFolder) {
|
||||
eventDispatcher.notifyListeners(EditorEvent.NavigateToComponent, {
|
||||
componentName: treeItem.model.fullName
|
||||
});
|
||||
// ✅ ADDED: Update folder state after navigation
|
||||
setTimeout(() => {
|
||||
onToggleFolderExpanded(treeItem.model.fullName);
|
||||
}, 0);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Files Modified**:
|
||||
|
||||
- `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/panels/ComponentsPanelNew/hooks/useComponentsPanel.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**Testing**: ✅ Verified - folders toggle AND canvas opens
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Bug 7A: Node Picker Icons (COMPLETE)
|
||||
|
||||
**Date Completed**: 2026-01-16
|
||||
**Status**: ✅ Icons rendering correctly
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: CaretRight and Chat icons broken (404 errors)
|
||||
|
||||
**Root Cause**: Using `<img src="/assets/icons/...">` which doesn't work with webpack module bundling
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution**: Switched to `<Icon>` component from core-ui:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// ❌ BEFORE
|
||||
<img src="/assets/icons/icon-chat.svg" />
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ AFTER
|
||||
<Icon icon={IconName.Chat} size={IconSize.Small} />
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Files Modified**:
|
||||
|
||||
- `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/NodePicker/components/NodePickerCategory/NodePickerCategory.tsx`
|
||||
- `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/NodePicker/tabs/NodeLibrary/NodeLibrary.tsx`
|
||||
|
||||
**Testing**: ✅ Verified - icons display correctly
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Bug 8A: Node Picker Manual Opening (COMPLETE)
|
||||
|
||||
**Date Completed**: 2026-01-16
|
||||
**Status**: ✅ Categories can be manually opened/closed during search
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: After my previous fix for auto-expansion, manual clicking stopped working
|
||||
|
||||
**Root Cause**: Stale closure in useEffect - `openAllCategories` function recreated on every render but effect only depended on `searchTerm`
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution**:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// ❌ BEFORE - Stale closure issue
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
if (searchTerm) {
|
||||
openAllCategories(); // ← Stale reference!
|
||||
}
|
||||
}, [searchTerm]); // Missing openAllCategories
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ AFTER - Fixed dependencies
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
if (searchTerm) {
|
||||
openAllCategories();
|
||||
}
|
||||
}, [searchTerm]); // Only searchTerm - function called fresh each time
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Files Modified**:
|
||||
|
||||
- `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/NodePicker/NodePicker.hooks.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Learning**: In React hooks, don't include function dependencies that change every render. Either:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Use `useCallback` to stabilize the function, OR
|
||||
2. Call the function knowing it's fresh (like here)
|
||||
|
||||
**Testing**: ✅ Verified - can now manually open/close categories while searching
|
||||

|
||||
### Bug 9: Property Panel Width (COMPLETE)
|
||||
|
||||
**Date Completed**: 2026-01-16
|
||||
**Status**: ✅ Sidebar now responsive!
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: Properties panel constrained to 380px even when sidebar resized
|
||||
|
||||
**Root Cause**: Fixed `width: 380px` in CSS (spotted by Richard!)
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution**:
|
||||
|
||||
```scss
|
||||
// ❌ BEFORE
|
||||
.Root {
|
||||
width: 380px;
|
||||
transition: width 0.3s ease-in-out;
|
||||
|
||||
&--expanded {
|
||||
width: 55vw;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ AFTER
|
||||
.Root {
|
||||
min-width: 380px;
|
||||
max-width: 55vw;
|
||||
transition: width 0.3s ease-in-out;
|
||||
|
||||
&--expanded {
|
||||
width: 55vw;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Files Modified**:
|
||||
|
||||
- `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/app/SideNavigation/SideNavigation.module.scss`
|
||||
|
||||
**Testing**: ✅ Verified by Richard - sidebar can be resized, properties panel expands

## 🟡 Partially Complete / Blocked
|
||||
|
||||
### Bug 7B: Canvas Node Icons (BLOCKED - Webpack Issue)
|
||||
|
||||
**Status**: 🟡 Blocked - needs webpack configuration work
|
||||
**Priority**: Medium
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: Home, Component, AI Assistant, and Warning icons don't render on canvas
|
||||
|
||||
**Investigation Results**:
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ Icon files exist: `packages/noodl-editor/src/assets/icons/core-ui-temp/`
|
||||
- ✅ Path in code is correct: `require('../../../assets/icons/core-ui-temp/home--nodegraph.svg')`
|
||||
- ❌ Problem: `require()` returns webpack module object instead of usable image path
|
||||
- ❌ Assignment: `this.homeIcon.src = [object Module]` (doesn't work)
|
||||
|
||||
**Root Cause**: Webpack SVG loader configuration issue for canvas context
|
||||
|
||||
**Attempted Solutions**:
|
||||
|
||||
1. ❌ Checked if files exist - they do
|
||||
2. ❌ Verified path is correct - it is
|
||||
3. 🔍 Need to investigate: Webpack config for SVG assets
|
||||
|
||||
**Next Steps**:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Check webpack config for SVG handling
|
||||
2. May need to use dynamic imports: `import('@/assets/...')`
|
||||
3. Or configure webpack url-loader for these specific assets
|
||||
4. Alternative: Convert to data URLs at build time
|
||||
|
||||
**Files to Investigate**:
|
||||
|
||||
- `packages/noodl-editor/webpackconfigs/`
|
||||
- `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/nodegrapheditor.ts` (lines 396-416)
|
||||
|
||||
**Workaround**: None currently - icons just don't show
|
||||

|
||||
### Bug 8B: Node Picker Auto-Expand on Search (PARTIAL)
|
||||
|
||||
**Status**: 🟡 Deferred - complex reducer timing issue
|
||||
**Priority**: Medium
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: Categories don't automatically expand when filtering/searching (though manual opening works)
|
||||
|
||||
**What Works**:
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ Manual clicking to open/close categories
|
||||
- ✅ Search filtering shows correct nodes
|
||||
- ✅ `openAllCategories()` function IS being called
|
||||
|
||||
**What Doesn't Work**:
|
||||
|
||||
- ❌ Categories don't auto-expand when you type in search
|
||||
|
||||
**Investigation Results**:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// NodePicker.hooks.ts - This IS being called
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
if (searchTerm) {
|
||||
console.log('🔍 Calling openAllCategories'); // ← Logs correctly
|
||||
openAllCategories();
|
||||
}
|
||||
}, [searchTerm]);
|
||||
|
||||
// The dispatch happens:
|
||||
dispatch({ type: 'openAllCategories' });
|
||||
|
||||
// But the state doesn't propagate to components correctly
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Root Cause Hypothesis**: Reducer state update timing issue
|
||||
|
||||
- The reducer action executes
|
||||
- But `NodePickerCategory` components don't receive updated `isCollapsed` prop
|
||||
- Likely: State update batching or stale closure in the reducer
|
||||
|
||||
**Next Steps to Debug**:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Add logging in reducer to verify action reaches it
|
||||
2. Check if `cursorState.openCategories` updates correctly
|
||||
3. Verify `getIsCategoryCollapsed()` function logic
|
||||
4. May need to use `useReducer` dispatch in a ref to ensure stable reference
|
||||
|
||||
**Files to Investigate**:
|
||||
|
||||
- `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/NodePicker/NodePicker.reducer.ts`
|
||||
- `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/NodePicker/NodePicker.hooks.ts`
|
||||
- `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/NodePicker/tabs/NodeLibrary/NodeLibrary.tsx`
|
||||
|
||||
**Workaround**: Users can manually click category headers to expand
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision**: Deferred for now - manual opening is acceptable UX
|
||||

### Bug 5: Code Editor Modal Close (COMPLETE)
|
||||
|
||||
**Date Completed**: 2026-01-16
|
||||
**Status**: ✅ Working - Close button added to JavaScriptEditor
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: Code editor popout couldn't be closed by clicking outside - user expected outside-click-to-close but it didn't work due to complex event propagation issues between React/CodeMirror and jQuery popup layer.
|
||||
|
||||
**Root Cause**: The `popuplayer.js` click detection relies on body event bubbling, but events within CodeMirror/React components don't always propagate to jQuery's body click handler. Debugging this would require extensive changes to the legacy popup system.
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution**: Added explicit "Close" button to JavaScriptEditor toolbar (better UX anyway!):
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// JavaScriptEditor.tsx - Added onClose prop and Close button
|
||||
{
|
||||
onClose && (
|
||||
<button
|
||||
onClick={() => {
|
||||
if (onSave) {
|
||||
const currentCode = editorViewRef.current?.state.doc.toString() || '';
|
||||
onSave(currentCode);
|
||||
}
|
||||
onClose();
|
||||
}}
|
||||
className={css['CloseButton']}
|
||||
title="Save and Close (Escape)"
|
||||
type="button"
|
||||
>
|
||||
Close
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Files Modified**:
|
||||
|
||||
- `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/code-editor/utils/types.ts` - Added `onClose` to props interface
|
||||
- `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/code-editor/JavaScriptEditor.tsx` - Added Close button UI
|
||||
- `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/code-editor/JavaScriptEditor.module.scss` - Added CloseButton styles
|
||||
- `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/panels/propertyeditor/CodeEditor/CodeEditorType.ts` - Wired up `onClose` to call `parent.hidePopout()`
|
||||
|
||||
**Testing**: ✅ Needs user verification - Close button should save and close the editor
|
||||
|
||||
**UX Improvement**: Close button is more discoverable than outside-click anyway!

## 📚 Key Learnings & Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### React Hook Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
**Learning**: Be very careful with function dependencies in useEffect
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// ❌ BAD - Stale closure if function recreated every render
|
||||
const doSomething = () => { /* uses state */ };
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
doSomething(); // ← Stale reference!
|
||||
}, [someValue]); // Missing doSomething dependency
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ OPTION 1 - Stabilize with useCallback
|
||||
const doSomething = useCallback(() => { /* uses state */ }, [dependencies]);
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
doSomething();
|
||||
}, [someValue, doSomething]);
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ OPTION 2 - Don't depend on external function if it's always fresh
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
doSomething(); // Call fresh function from render scope
|
||||
}, [someValue]); // OK if doSomething not in dependencies and you know it's fresh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Icon Loading Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
**Learning**: Different contexts need different asset loading strategies
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// ✅ GOOD - In React components, use Icon component
|
||||
<Icon icon={IconName.CaretRight} />
|
||||
|
||||
// ❌ BAD - Direct img src doesn't work with webpack
|
||||
<img src="/assets/icons/..." />
|
||||
|
||||
// 🤔 CANVAS CONTEXT - require() doesn't work for img.src
|
||||
this.icon.src = require('@/assets/icon.svg'); // Returns module object
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ CANVAS SOLUTION - Need dynamic import or data URLs
|
||||
import iconUrl from '@/assets/icon.svg'; // Webpack will handle
|
||||
this.icon.src = iconUrl;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### CSS Flexibility
|
||||
|
||||
**Learning**: Use min/max width instead of fixed width for resizable elements
|
||||
|
||||
```scss
|
||||
// ❌ Rigid
|
||||
width: 380px;
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ Flexible
|
||||
min-width: 380px;
|
||||
max-width: 55vw;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Event Timing
|
||||
|
||||
**Learning**: Sometimes you need `setTimeout(fn, 0)` to let state updates settle
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// When navigating then updating UI:
|
||||
navigate(componentName);
|
||||
setTimeout(() => {
|
||||
updateUI(); // Let navigation complete first
|
||||
}, 0);
|
||||
```
