[December 28, 2025] - KNOWN BUG: Drag-Drop Completion Still Broken

Summary

🐛 UNRESOLVED BUG - Drag-drop onto items still leaves drag visual attached to cursor.

After multiple fix attempts, the component/folder drag-drop completion is still broken. When dropping a component onto another component or folder, the drag visual (label following cursor) stays attached to the cursor instead of completing.

What Works

  • Root drops (dropping onto empty space in tree background)
  • Drag visual appears correctly
  • Drop target highlighting works
  • The actual move/rename operation executes successfully

What's Broken

  • After dropping onto a component or folder, drag visual stays attached to cursor
  • User has to click elsewhere to "release" the phantom drag

Attempted Fixes (All Failed)

Attempt 1: State-based flow through useDragDrop

  • Used handleDrop from useDragDrop that set state → triggered useEffect → called handleDropOn
  • Result: Same bug, drag visual persisted

Attempt 2: Direct drop handler (handleDirectDrop)

  • Bypassed useDragDrop state system
  • Created handleDirectDrop that called handleDropOn directly
  • Result: Same bug, drag visual persisted

Attempt 3: Remove duplicate dragCompleted() calls

  • Removed dragCompleted() from FolderItem and ComponentItem handleMouseUp
  • Left only the call in handleDropOn in useComponentActions
  • Result: Same bug, drag visual persisted

Technical Context

The drag system uses PopupLayer from @noodl-views/popuplayer:

  • startDragging() - begins drag with label element
  • isDragging() - checks if currently dragging
  • indicateDropType() - shows cursor feedback
  • dragCompleted() - should end drag and hide label

Root drops work because handleTreeMouseUp calls handleDropOnRoot which calls dragCompleted() directly.

Item drops go through more complex flow that somehow doesn't properly complete.

Files Involved

  • ComponentsPanelReact.tsx - Main panel, has handleDirectDrop and handleTreeMouseUp
  • FolderItem.tsx - Folder items, has drop detection in handleMouseUp
  • ComponentItem.tsx - Component items, has drop detection in handleMouseUp
  • useComponentActions.ts - Has handleDropOn with dragCompleted() calls
  • useDragDrop.ts - Original state-based drop handler (now mostly bypassed)

Status

DEFERRED - Will revisit in future session. Core functionality (sheets, menus, rename, delete, move) works. Drag-drop is a nice-to-have but not blocking.

Notes for Future Investigation

  1. Check if dragCompleted() is actually being called (add console.log)
  2. Check if multiple dragCompleted() calls might be interfering
  3. Investigate PopupLayer internals for what resets dragItem
  4. Compare with working root drop flow step-by-step
  5. Check if React re-render is somehow re-initializing drag state
  6. Consider if the module instance pattern (require vs import) matters

[December 28, 2025] - Bug Fix: Drag-Drop Regression on Empty Folders

Summary

🐛 Fixed 2 drag-drop bugs when dropping components onto newly created folders:

  1. Folder icon incorrectly changed to component icon after drop
  2. Drag state persisted - user remained in dragging state after dropping

Bug Details

Issue 1: Icon change after drop

When a component was dropped onto an empty folder (one created via placeholder), the folder's icon incorrectly changed from the folder icon to the component-with-children icon.

Root Cause: The isComponentFolder detection logic was wrong:

// WRONG - marked ANY folder with components as a component-folder
const isComponentFolder = matchingComponent !== undefined || childFolder.components.length > 0;

A "component-folder" should ONLY be when a COMPONENT has nested children (e.g., /test1 is both a component AND has /test1/child). Having children inside a folder does NOT make it a component-folder - it's just a regular folder with contents.

Fix: Changed to only check for matching component:

const isComponentFolder = matchingComponent !== undefined;

Issue 2: Stuck dragging after drop

After dropping a component onto a folder, the user remained in dragging state with the drag element following the cursor.

Root Cause: PopupLayer.instance.dragCompleted() was being called AFTER UndoQueue.instance.pushAndDo(). The rename operation triggers ProjectModel events which cause React to schedule a re-render. This timing issue could cause the drag state to persist across the tree rebuild.

Fix: Call dragCompleted() FIRST, before any rename operations:

// End drag operation FIRST - before the rename triggers a re-render
PopupLayer.instance.dragCompleted();

// THEN do the rename
UndoQueue.instance.pushAndDo(
  new UndoActionGroup({
    label: `Move component to folder`,
    do: () => {
      ProjectModel.instance?.renameComponent(component, newName);
    },
    undo: () => {
      ProjectModel.instance?.renameComponent(component, oldName);
    }
  })
);

Files Modified

useComponentsPanel.ts - Fixed isComponentFolder detection:

  • Changed from matchingComponent !== undefined || childFolder.components.length > 0
  • To just matchingComponent !== undefined

useComponentActions.ts - Fixed drag completion timing for ALL drop handlers:

  • handleDropOn: Component → Folder
  • handleDropOn: Folder → Folder
  • handleDropOn: Component → Component
  • handleDropOn: Folder → Component
  • handleDropOnRoot: Component → Root
  • handleDropOnRoot: Folder → Root

Key Learning: React Re-renders and Drag State

When performing drag-drop operations that trigger React state changes:

  1. ALWAYS complete the drag state FIRST (dragCompleted())
  2. THEN perform the action that triggers re-renders

If you do it in the opposite order, the React re-render may cause issues with PopupLayer's drag state tracking across the component tree rebuild.

Testing Checklist

  • Create empty folder via right-click → Create Folder
  • Drag component onto empty folder → should move without icon change
  • After drop, drag should complete (cursor returns to normal)
  • Folder icon should remain folder icon, not component-with-children icon
  • Test all drag-drop combinations work correctly with proper completion

[December 28, 2025] - Bug Fix: Folder Creation Regression (COMPLETE FIX)

Summary

🐛 Fixed folder creation regression - Folders were being created but not appearing in the tree.

Bug Details

Problem: User could open the "New folder name" popup, enter a name, click "Add", but no folder appeared in the tree. No console errors.

Root Cause (Two Issues):

  1. Missing leading /: The handleAddFolder function was creating component names without the required leading /. Fixed in useComponentActions.ts.

  2. Placeholders filtered before folder building: The tree builder in useComponentsPanel.ts was filtering out .placeholder components BEFORE building the folder structure. Since empty folders only exist as .placeholder components (e.g., /MyFolder/.placeholder), the folder was never created in the tree!

Fix Applied

File 1: useComponentActions.ts - Fixed path normalization to always include leading /

File 2: useComponentsPanel.ts - Fixed buildTreeFromProject() to:

  1. Process ALL components (including placeholders) for folder structure building
  2. Use skipAddComponent flag to create folder structure without adding placeholder to folder.components
  3. Result: Empty folders appear as folders, without showing the .placeholder component

Key changes to addComponentToFolderStructure():

// Added 4th parameter to skip adding component (for placeholders)
function addComponentToFolderStructure(
  rootFolder: FolderStructure,
  component: ComponentModel,
  displayPath?: string,
  skipAddComponent?: boolean // NEW: for placeholders
) {
  // ... create folder structure ...

  // Only add component if not a placeholder
  if (!skipAddComponent) {
    currentFolder.components.push(component);
  }
}

Key changes to buildTreeFromProject():

// Before: Filtered out placeholders FIRST (broken - folders never created)
const filteredComponents = components.filter(comp => !comp.name.endsWith('/.placeholder'));
filteredComponents.forEach(comp => addComponentToFolderStructure(...));

// After: Process ALL components, skip adding placeholders to display
components.forEach(comp => {
  const isPlaceholder = comp.name.endsWith('/.placeholder');
  addComponentToFolderStructure(rootFolder, comp, displayPath, isPlaceholder);
});

Key Learning

Folder visualization requires two things:

  1. Component path must start with /
  2. Placeholders must create folder structure even though they're not displayed as components

The old code filtered out .placeholder before building folders, so empty folders (which ONLY contain a placeholder) never got created in the tree structure.

Testing Checklist

  • Right-click empty space → Create Folder → enters name → folder appears
  • Right-click component → Create Folder → folder appears nested inside
  • Right-click folder → Create Folder → folder appears nested inside
  • Undo folder creation → folder disappears
  • Empty folders remain visible until deleted

[December 28, 2025] - Context Menu Bug Fixes: Make Home, Duplicate, Component-Folders

Summary

🐛 Fixed 3 context menu bugs discovered during testing:

  1. "Make Home" menu restriction - Only shows for pages/visual components, not logic components
  2. Duplicate not working - Fixed undo pattern so duplicate actually creates the copy
  3. Component-folders missing menu options - Added Open, Make Home, Duplicate to component-folder menus

Bugs Fixed

Bug 1: "Make Home" showing for wrong component types

  • Problem: "Make Home" appeared in context menu for ALL components including cloud functions and logic components
  • Root Cause: No type check before showing menu item
  • Solution: Added conditional check - only show for isPage || isVisual components
  • Files: ComponentItem.tsx, FolderItem.tsx
// Only show "Make Home" for pages or visual components (not logic/cloud functions)
if (component.isPage || component.isVisual) {
  items.push({
    label: 'Make Home',
    disabled: component.isRoot,
    onClick: () => onMakeHome?.(node)
  });
}

Bug 2: Duplicate component does nothing

  • Problem: Clicking "Duplicate" in context menu did nothing - no console log, no duplicate created
  • Root Cause: Wrong undo pattern - used undoGroup.push() + undoGroup.do() but duplicateComponent already handles its own undo registration internally
  • Solution: Simplified to just call duplicateComponent with undo group, then push the group and switch to new component
  • File: useComponentActions.ts
// OLD (broken):
undoGroup.push({ do: () => { duplicateComponent(...)}, undo: () => {...} });
undoGroup.do();

// NEW (working):
ProjectModel.instance?.duplicateComponent(component, newName, { undo: undoGroup, ... });
UndoQueue.instance.push(undoGroup);

Bug 3: Component-folders (top-level of nested tree) get fewer menu options

  • Problem: When right-clicking a component that has children (displayed as a folder), the menu only showed Create, Rename, Move to, Delete - missing Open, Make Home, Duplicate
  • Root Cause: FolderItem didn't have props or logic for these component-specific actions
  • Solution:
    1. Added onOpen, onMakeHome, onDuplicate props to FolderItem
    2. Added component type flags (isRoot, isPage, isVisual, isCloudFunction) to FolderItemData type
    3. Updated useComponentsPanel.ts to populate these flags when building folder nodes
    4. Updated FolderItem context menu to include Open, Make Home (conditional), Duplicate for component-folders
    5. Updated useComponentActions.ts handlers to support folder nodes with components
    6. Updated ComponentTree to pass the new props to FolderItem

Files Modified

  1. types.ts

    • Added isRoot, isPage, isCloudFunction, isVisual optional flags to FolderItemData
  2. useComponentsPanel.ts

    • Populated component type flags when creating folder nodes with matching components
  3. ComponentItem.tsx

    • Added conditional check for "Make Home" menu item
  4. FolderItem.tsx

    • Added onOpen, onMakeHome, onDuplicate props
    • Added Open, Make Home (conditional), Duplicate menu items for component-folders
    • Updated useCallback dependencies
  5. ComponentTree.tsx

    • Passed onOpen, onMakeHome, onDuplicate props to FolderItem
  6. useComponentActions.ts

    • Fixed handleDuplicate to use correct undo pattern
    • Updated handleMakeHome, handleDuplicate, handleOpen to support folder nodes (for component-folders)

Technical Notes

Component-Folders: A component-folder is when a component has nested children. For example:

  • /test1 (component)
  • /test1/child (nested component)

In this case, /test1 is displayed as a FolderItem (with expand caret) but IS actually a component. It should have all component menu options.

Handler Updates for Folder Nodes: The handlers handleMakeHome, handleDuplicate, and handleOpen now check for both:

  • node.type === 'component' (regular component)
  • node.type === 'folder' && node.data.isComponentFolder && node.data.component (component-folder)

This allows the same handlers to work for both ComponentItem and FolderItem.

Testing Checklist

  • Right-click cloud function → "Make Home" should NOT appear
  • Right-click page component → "Make Home" should appear
  • Right-click visual component → "Make Home" should appear
  • Right-click any component → Duplicate → should create copy and switch to it
  • Right-click component-folder (component with children) → should have Open, Rename, Duplicate, Make Home (if visual/page), Move to, Delete

[December 28, 2025] - Visual Polish: Action Menu UX Improvements

Summary

Fixed 2 visual/UX issues for the SheetSelector action menu:

  1. Action menu positioning - Menu now opens upward so it's always visible
  2. Click-outside dismissal - Action menu now properly closes when clicking outside

Fixes Applied

Fix 1: Action menu opens upward

  • Problem: When clicking the three-dot menu on the last sheet item, the rename/delete menu appeared below and required scrolling to see
  • Solution: Changed .ActionMenu CSS from top: 100% to bottom: 100% so it opens above the button
  • File: SheetSelector.module.scss

Fix 2: Action menu click-outside handling

  • Problem: Clicking outside the action menu (rename/delete) didn't close it
  • Root Cause: Only the main dropdown had click-outside detection, not the nested action menu
  • Solution: Added two improvements:
    1. Modified main click-outside handler to also clear activeSheetMenu state
    2. Added separate effect to close action menu when clicking elsewhere in the dropdown
  • File: SheetSelector.tsx

Files Modified

  1. SheetSelector.module.scss - Changed top: 100% to bottom: 100% for .ActionMenu
  2. SheetSelector.tsx - Added click-outside handling for action menu

Task Status: COMPLETE

All sheet system functionality is now fully implemented and polished:

  • Create sheets
  • Rename sheets
  • Delete sheets (moves components to root)
  • Move components between sheets
  • "All" view hides sheet folders
  • Navigation to "All" after deleting current sheet
  • Full undo/redo support
  • Proper visual feedback and UX polish

[December 28, 2025] - Bug Fixes: Sheet System Critical Fixes

Summary

🐛 Fixed 3 critical bugs for sheet operations:

  1. deleteSheet() stale references - Undo didn't work because component references became stale
  2. Navigation after delete - Deleting current sheet left user on deleted sheet view
  3. "All" view showing #folders - Sheet folders appeared as visible folders instead of being hidden organizational tags

Bugs Fixed

Bug 1: deleteSheet() undo broken due to stale component references

  • Problem: Deleting a sheet appeared to work, but undo threw errors or did nothing

  • Root Cause: renameMap stored component object references instead of string names. After the do() action renamed components, the references pointed to objects with changed names, causing undo to fail.

  • Solution: Changed to store only oldName and newName strings, then look up components by name during both do and undo:

    // OLD (broken):
    renameMap.forEach(({ component, newName }) => {
      ProjectModel.instance?.renameComponent(component, newName);
    });
    
    // NEW (fixed):
    renameMap.forEach(({ oldName, newName }) => {
      const comp = ProjectModel.instance?.getComponentWithName(oldName);
      if (comp) {
        ProjectModel.instance?.renameComponent(comp, newName);
      }
    });
    
  • File: useSheetManagement.ts

Bug 2: No navigation after deleting current sheet

  • Problem: After deleting the currently selected sheet, user was left viewing a non-existent sheet
  • Solution: Added check in handleDeleteSheet to navigate to "All" view (selectSheet(null)) if the deleted sheet was currently selected
  • File: ComponentsPanelReact.tsx

Bug 3: Sheet folders visible in "All" view

  • Problem: When viewing "All", sheet folders like #Pages appeared as visible folders in the tree, contradicting the user requirement that sheets should be invisible organizational tags
  • Root Cause: buildTreeFromProject() only stripped sheet prefixes when viewing a specific sheet, not when viewing "All"
  • Solution: Extended the prefix stripping logic to also apply in "All" view (when currentSheet === null):
    if (currentSheet === null) {
      // Strip any #folder prefix to show components without sheet organization
      const parts = comp.name.split('/').filter((p) => p !== '');
      if (parts.length > 0 && parts[0].startsWith('#')) {
        displayPath = '/' + parts.slice(1).join('/');
      }
    }
    
  • File: useComponentsPanel.ts

Files Modified

  1. useSheetManagement.ts - Fixed deleteSheet() to use string-based lookup
  2. ComponentsPanelReact.tsx - Added navigation to "All" after delete
  3. useComponentsPanel.ts - Strip sheet prefixes in "All" view

Key Learning: String Lookups in Undo Actions

When implementing undo/redo for operations that modify object names/paths:

  • Never store object references in the undo data - they become stale
  • Always store identifying strings (names, paths, IDs)
  • Look up objects fresh during both do and undo execution

This pattern is now consistently used in:

  • renameSheet()
  • deleteSheet()
  • moveToSheet()

Testing Checklist

  • Delete sheet → components moved to root, visible in "All"
  • Delete current sheet → automatically navigates to "All" view
  • Undo delete sheet → sheet and components restored
  • Move component to sheet → works correctly
  • View "All" → no #folder names visible as folders
  • View specific sheet → shows only that sheet's components

[December 27, 2025] - Bug Fixes: Delete, Rename, Move UI

Summary

🐛 Fixed 3 critical bugs discovered during testing:

  1. Delete sheet error - Used non-existent PopupLayer.ConfirmDeletePopup
  2. Rename sheet creating duplicates - Component path prefix bug
  3. Move to submenu UX - Improved to open separate popup

Bugs Fixed

Bug 1: Delete sheet throws TypeError

  • Error: PopupLayer.ConfirmDeletePopup is not a constructor
  • Root Cause: Used non-existent PopupLayer constructor
  • Solution: Changed to DialogLayerModel.instance.showConfirm() pattern
  • File: ComponentsPanelReact.tsx

Bug 2: Rename sheet creates duplicates

  • Problem: Renaming a sheet created a new sheet with the new name while leaving the old one
  • Root Cause: Component path filter checked for #SheetName/ but component paths start with /, so they're actually /#SheetName/. The filter never matched!
  • Solution: Fixed prefix checks to include leading /:
    const oldPrefix = '/' + oldFolderName + '/'; // "/#Pages/"
    const newPrefix = '/' + newFolderName + '/'; // "/#NewName/"
    
  • File: useSheetManagement.ts

Bug 3: Move to submenu showed all sheets inline

  • Problem: User complained inline sheet list clutters context menu, especially with many sheets
  • Solution: Changed "Move to..." to open a separate popup when clicked instead of inline list
  • Files: ComponentItem.tsx, FolderItem.tsx

Files Modified

  1. ComponentsPanelReact.tsx - Use DialogLayerModel.showConfirm for delete
  2. useSheetManagement.ts - Fixed path prefix bug in renameSheet
  3. ComponentItem.tsx - Move to opens separate popup
  4. FolderItem.tsx - Same change as ComponentItem

Testing Checklist

  • Rename sheet → should rename without duplicates
  • Delete sheet → confirmation dialog appears, components moved to root
  • Move to... → opens separate popup with sheet list
  • All undo operations work

[December 27, 2025] - Phase 4: Sheet Management Actions - COMPLETE

Summary

Phase 4 COMPLETE - Implemented full sheet management: rename, delete, and move components between sheets.

What Was Implemented

1. Rename Sheet

  • Added rename option to SheetSelector's three-dot menu for each non-default sheet
  • Shows StringInputPopup with current name pre-filled
  • Validates new name (no empty, no duplicate, no invalid chars)
  • Full undo support via renameSheet() in useSheetManagement

2. Delete Sheet (Non-destructive)

  • Added delete option to SheetSelector's three-dot menu
  • Critical behavior change: Deleting a sheet now MOVES components to root level instead of deleting them
  • Shows confirmation popup explaining components will be moved
  • Components become visible in "All" view after sheet deletion
  • Full undo support

3. Move Components Between Sheets

  • Added "Move to" submenu in component right-click context menu
  • Shows all available sheets with current sheet highlighted/disabled
  • Works for both ComponentItem and FolderItem (component-folders)
  • Inline submenu rendered via MenuDialog's component property
  • Full undo support via moveToSheet() in useSheetManagement

Files Modified

hooks/useSheetManagement.ts

  • Completely rewrote deleteSheet() to move components instead of deleting
  • Uses rename operations to strip sheet prefix from component paths
  • Handles placeholders separately (deleted, not moved)
  • Checks for naming conflicts before deletion

components/SheetSelector.tsx

  • Added onRenameSheet and onDeleteSheet props
  • Added three-dot action menu for each non-default sheet
  • Shows on hover with rename/delete options
  • Styled action menu with proper design tokens

components/SheetSelector.module.scss

  • Added styles for .SheetActions, .ActionButton, .ActionMenu, .ActionMenuItem
  • Hover reveal for action buttons
  • Danger styling for delete option

components/ComponentItem.tsx

  • Added sheets and onMoveToSheet props
  • Added "Move to" submenu in handleContextMenu
  • Determines current sheet from component path
  • Inline submenu shows all sheets with current highlighted

components/FolderItem.tsx

  • Same changes as ComponentItem
  • Only shows "Move to" for component-folders (folders with associated component)

components/ComponentTree.tsx

  • Added sheets and onMoveToSheet to props interface
  • Passes props through to all ComponentItem and FolderItem instances
  • Passes through recursive ComponentTree calls

ComponentsPanelReact.tsx

  • Imports renameSheet, deleteSheet, moveToSheet from useSheetManagement
  • Creates handleRenameSheet, handleDeleteSheet, handleMoveToSheet handlers
  • Passes handlers to SheetSelector and ComponentTree

Design Decisions

Delete = Move, Not Destroy

  • User requested: "deleting a sheet should NOT delete its components"
  • Components move to Default sheet (root level)
  • Visible in "All" view
  • Full undo support for recovery

Move via Context Menu, Not Drag-Drop

  • User specifically requested: "I don't want to do drag and drop into sheets"
  • Right-click → "Move to" → select sheet
  • Current sheet shown but not clickable
  • Clear UX without complex drag-drop interactions

Inline Submenu

  • MenuDialog doesn't support native nested menus
  • Used component property to render inline sheet list
  • Styled to visually appear as submenu
  • dontCloseMenuOnClick: true keeps menu open for selection

Testing Checklist

  • Rename sheet via three-dot menu → popup appears
  • Enter new name → sheet renamed, all components updated
  • Delete sheet → confirmation shows component count
  • Confirm delete → components moved to root, sheet removed
  • Undo delete → sheet restored with components
  • Right-click component → "Move to" submenu appears
  • Current sheet highlighted and disabled
  • Click different sheet → component moves
  • Undo move → component returns to original sheet
  • Move to Default → removes sheet prefix
  • Component-folders also have "Move to" option

Next Steps

Phase 5: Integration testing and documentation updates.


[December 27, 2025] - Bug Fixes: Sheet Creation & Reactivity - COMPLETE

Summary

Fixed 4 critical bugs preventing sheet creation from working properly:

  1. Add Sheet popup timing - setTimeout delay to prevent dropdown/popup conflict
  2. Placeholder naming convention - Added leading / to match component path format
  3. Sheet detection for empty sheets - Include placeholders in detection, exclude from count
  4. React array reference issue - Spread operator to force useMemo recalculation

Bug Details

Bug 1: Add Sheet popup not appearing

  • Problem: Clicking "Add Sheet" button closed dropdown but popup never appeared
  • Root Cause: setIsOpen(false) closed dropdown before popup could display; timing conflict
  • Solution: Added 50ms setTimeout delay to allow dropdown to close before showing popup
  • File: components/SheetSelector.tsx

Bug 2: Sheet placeholder naming

  • Problem: Created placeholder #SheetName/.placeholder but component names start with /
  • Root Cause: Inconsistent path format - all component names must start with /
  • Solution: Changed placeholder name to /#SheetName/.placeholder
  • File: hooks/useSheetManagement.ts

Bug 3: New sheets not appearing in dropdown

  • Problem: Sheet created successfully (toast shown, project saved) but didn't appear in dropdown
  • Root Cause: allComponents filter excluded placeholders, so empty sheets had 0 components → not detected
  • Solution: Two-pass detection:
    1. First pass: Detect ALL sheets from rawComponents (including placeholders)
    2. Second pass: Count only non-placeholder components per sheet
  • File: hooks/useComponentsPanel.ts

Bug 4: useMemo not recalculating after component added

  • Problem: Even after event received and updateCounter incremented, sheets useMemo didn't recalculate
  • Root Cause: ProjectModel.getComponents() returns same array reference (mutated, not replaced). React's Object.is() comparison didn't detect change.
  • Solution: Spread operator to create new array reference: [...ProjectModel.instance.getComponents()]
  • File: hooks/useComponentsPanel.ts

Key Learning: Mutable Data Sources + React

This is a critical React pattern when working with EventDispatcher-based models:

// ❌ WRONG - Same array reference, useMemo skips recalculation
const rawComponents = useMemo(() => {
  return ProjectModel.instance.getComponents();  // Returns mutated array
}, [updateCounter]);

// ✅ RIGHT - New array reference forces useMemo to recalculate
const rawComponents = useMemo(() => {
  return [...ProjectModel.instance.getComponents()];  // New reference
}, [updateCounter]);

Why this happens:

  • getComponents() returns the internal array (same reference)
  • When component is added, array is mutated (push)
  • Object.is(oldArray, newArray) returns true (same reference)
  • useMemo thinks nothing changed, skips recalculation
  • Spreading creates new array reference → forces recalculation

Files Modified

  1. components/SheetSelector.tsx

    • Added setTimeout delay in handleCreateSheet
  2. hooks/useSheetManagement.ts

    • Fixed placeholder name: /#SheetName/.placeholder
  3. hooks/useComponentsPanel.ts

    • Added rawComponents spread to force new reference
    • Two-pass sheet detection (detect from raw, count from filtered)

Testing Status

Sheet creation works end-to-end:

  • Click Add Sheet → popup appears
  • Enter name → click Create
  • Toast shows success
  • Sheet appears immediately in dropdown
  • Sheet persists after project reload

This bug pattern is now documented:

  • LEARNINGS.md: "Mutable Data Sources + useMemo"
  • .clinerules: React + EventDispatcher section

[December 27, 2025] - Phase 3: Sheet Selector UI - COMPLETE

Summary

Phase 3 COMPLETE - Implemented the SheetSelector dropdown UI component and integrated it into the ComponentsPanel header.

The SheetSelector allows users to:

  • View all available sheets with component counts
  • Switch between sheets to filter the component tree
  • Select "All" to view all components across sheets
  • Create new sheets via the "Add Sheet" button

What Was Implemented

1. SheetSelector Component (components/SheetSelector.tsx)

interface SheetSelectorProps {
  sheets: Sheet[]; // All available sheets
  currentSheet: Sheet | null; // Currently selected (null = show all)
  onSelectSheet: (sheet: Sheet | null) => void;
  onCreateSheet?: () => void;
  disabled?: boolean; // For locked sheet mode
}

Features:

  • Dropdown trigger button with chevron indicator
  • "All" option to show all components
  • Sheet list with radio-style indicators
  • Component counts per sheet
  • "Add Sheet" button with divider
  • Click-outside to close
  • Escape key to close
  • Auto-hide when only default sheet exists

2. SheetSelector Styles (components/SheetSelector.module.scss)

All styles use design tokens (no hardcoded colors):

  • .SheetSelector - Container
  • .TriggerButton - Dropdown trigger with hover/open states
  • .Dropdown - Positioned menu below trigger
  • .SheetList - Scrollable sheet items
  • .SheetItem - Individual sheet with radio indicator
  • .AddSheetButton - Create new sheet action

3. ComponentsPanelReact.tsx Integration

  • Added SheetSelector to header JSX (after title)
  • Wired up sheets, currentSheet, selectSheet from useComponentsPanel
  • Wired up handleCreateSheet callback using StringInputPopup
  • Added disabled={!!options?.lockToSheet} for locked sheet mode

Header Layout

The header now displays:

+--------------------------------+
| Components    [SheetSelector▼] |
+--------------------------------+

Using justify-content: space-between for proper spacing.

Files Created

  • components/SheetSelector.tsx - Dropdown component
  • components/SheetSelector.module.scss - Styles with design tokens

Files Modified

  • ComponentsPanelReact.tsx - Added SheetSelector to header

Backwards Compatibility

Fully backwards compatible:

  • SheetSelector auto-hides when only default sheet exists
  • Works with existing lockToSheet option (disables selector)
  • No changes to existing behavior

Testing Status

TypeScript compilation passes Manual testing required:

  • Open project with multiple sheets (components in # folders)
  • Verify SheetSelector appears in header
  • Test switching between sheets
  • Test "All" option
  • Test creating new sheet
  • Verify tree filters correctly

Next Steps

Phase 4: Wire up sheet management actions

  • Add rename/delete options to sheet selector
  • Wire up move-to-sheet functionality
  • Add sheet context menu

[December 27, 2025] - Phase 2: Sheet System Backend - COMPLETE

Summary

Phase 2 COMPLETE - Implemented full sheet detection, filtering, and management backend.

Sheets are a way to organize components into top-level groups. Components in folders starting with # are grouped into sheets (e.g., #Pages/Home belongs to the "Pages" sheet).

What Was Implemented

1. Sheet Interface (types.ts)

interface Sheet {
  name: string; // Display name (without # prefix)
  folderName: string; // Original folder name with # (e.g., "#Pages")
  isDefault: boolean; // Whether this is the default sheet
  componentCount: number; // Number of components in this sheet
}

2. Sheet Detection (useComponentsPanel.ts)

  • Automatic detection of sheets from component paths
  • Sheets are identified as top-level folders starting with #
  • Default sheet contains all components NOT in any # folder
  • Component counts calculated per sheet
  • Hidden sheets support via hideSheets option
  • Locked sheet support via lockToSheet option

3. Sheet Filtering

  • currentSheet state tracks selected sheet
  • selectSheet() function to change active sheet
  • Tree view automatically filters to show only components in selected sheet
  • For non-default sheets, the #SheetName/ prefix is stripped from display paths

4. Sheet Management Hook (useSheetManagement.ts)

New hook with full CRUD operations:

  • createSheet(name) - Create new sheet (creates #SheetName/.placeholder)
  • renameSheet(sheet, newName) - Rename sheet and update all component paths
  • deleteSheet(sheet) - Delete sheet and all components (with undo support!)
  • moveToSheet(componentName, targetSheet) - Move component between sheets

All operations include:

  • Input validation
  • Conflict detection
  • Toast notifications
  • Full undo/redo support using UndoQueue.pushAndDo() pattern

Backwards Compatibility

Fully backwards compatible with existing projects:

  • Existing #-prefixed folders automatically appear as sheets
  • Default sheet behavior unchanged (components not in # folders)
  • hideSheets option continues to work
  • No migration required

Files Created

  • hooks/useSheetManagement.ts - Sheet CRUD operations hook

Files Modified

  • types.ts - Added Sheet interface, lockToSheet option
  • hooks/useComponentsPanel.ts - Added sheet detection, filtering, state management

Return Values from useComponentsPanel

const {
  // Existing
  treeData,
  expandedFolders,
  selectedId,
  toggleFolder,
  handleItemClick,
  // NEW: Sheet system
  sheets, // Sheet[] - All detected sheets
  currentSheet, // Sheet | null - Currently selected sheet
  selectSheet // (sheet: Sheet | null) => void
} = useComponentsPanel(options);

Next Steps

Phase 3: Sheet Selector UI

  • Create SheetSelector.tsx dropdown component
  • Integrate into ComponentsPanel header
  • Wire up sheet selection

[December 27, 2025] - TASK-008C: Final Fix - dragCompleted() Method Name

Summary

Fixed final bug preventing drag-drop from completing: wrong method name.

After fixing the onDroponMouseUp issue, discovered that PopupLayer.instance.endDrag() was being called, but the correct method name is dragCompleted().

The Error

TypeError: PopupLayer.instance.endDrag is not a function

Root Cause

The useComponentActions.ts file was calling PopupLayer.instance.endDrag(), but this method doesn't exist in PopupLayer. The correct method is dragCompleted().

Changes Made

File: useComponentActions.ts

Replaced all 16 instances of PopupLayer.instance.endDrag() with PopupLayer.instance.dragCompleted():

  • handleDropOnRoot: Component → Root (3 calls)
  • handleDropOnRoot: Folder → Root (3 calls)
  • handleDropOn: Component → Folder (2 calls)
  • handleDropOn: Folder → Folder (3 calls)
  • handleDropOn: Component → Component (2 calls)
  • handleDropOn: Folder → Component (3 calls)

PopupLayer Drag API

From popuplayer.js:

// Start dragging - initiates drag with label
PopupLayer.prototype.startDragging = function (args) {
  // ... sets up drag label that follows cursor
};

// Check if dragging - returns boolean
PopupLayer.prototype.isDragging = function () {
  return this.dragItem !== undefined;
};

// Indicate drop type - shows cursor feedback
PopupLayer.prototype.indicateDropType = function (droptype) {
  // ... 'move', 'copy', or 'none'
};

// ✅ CORRECT: Complete drag operation
PopupLayer.prototype.dragCompleted = function () {
  this.$('.popup-layer-dragger').css({ opacity: '0' });
  this.dragItem = undefined;
};

// ❌ WRONG: endDrag() doesn't exist!

Testing Results

All 7 drop combinations now work:

  • B1: Component → Component (nest)
  • B2: Component → Folder (move into)
  • B3: Component → Root (move to top level)
  • B4: Folder → Folder (nest folders)
  • B5: Folder → Component (nest folder)
  • B6: Folder → Root (move to top level)
  • B7: Component-Folder → any target

Key Learning

PopupLayer drag completion method is dragCompleted(), not endDrag().

Added to LEARNINGS.md for future reference.


[December 27, 2025] - TASK-008C: Drag-Drop System Root Cause Fix

Summary

🔥 Fixed the fundamental root cause of all drag-drop issues: Wrong event type.

The drag-drop system was using onDrop (HTML5 Drag-and-Drop API event), but the PopupLayer uses a custom mouse-based drag system. The HTML5 onDrop event never fires because we're not using native browser drag-and-drop.

The Root Cause

Previous broken flow:

  1. Drag starts via handleMouseDownhandleMouseMove (5px threshold) → PopupLayer.startDragging()
  2. Hover detection via handleMouseEnter → item becomes drop target, visual feedback works
  3. onDrop={handleDrop}NEVER FIRES because HTML5 DnD events don't fire for mouse-based dragging

Fixed flow:

  1. Same drag start
  2. Same hover detection
  3. onMouseUp triggers drop when isDropTarget === true

Changes Made

1. ComponentItem.tsx - Enhanced handleMouseUp

// Before (broken):
const handleMouseUp = useCallback(() => {
  dragStartPos.current = null;  // Only cleared drag start
}, []);

// After (fixed):
const handleMouseUp = useCallback((e: React.MouseEvent) => {
  dragStartPos.current = null;

  if (isDropTarget && onDrop) {
    e.stopPropagation(); // Prevent bubble to Tree
    const node: TreeNode = { type: 'component', data: component };
    onDrop(node);
    setIsDropTarget(false);
  }
}, [isDropTarget, component, onDrop]);

2. FolderItem.tsx - Same fix

  • Enhanced handleMouseUp to trigger drop when isDropTarget is true

3. ComponentsPanelReact.tsx - Simplified background drop

// Before (broken):
// - Used onMouseEnter/Leave/Drop with e.target === e.currentTarget check
// - onDrop never fires because it's HTML5 DnD event
// - e.target === e.currentTarget never true due to child elements

// After (fixed):
const handleTreeMouseUp = useCallback(() => {
  const PopupLayer = require('@noodl-views/popuplayer');
  if (draggedItem && PopupLayer.instance.isDragging()) {
    handleDropOnRoot(draggedItem);
  }
}, [draggedItem, handleDropOnRoot]);

// JSX:
<div className={css['Tree']} onContextMenu={handleTreeContextMenu} onMouseUp={handleTreeMouseUp}>

How Event Bubbling Enables Root Drop

  1. User releases mouse while dragging
  2. If over a valid tree item → item's handleMouseUp fires, calls e.stopPropagation(), executes drop
  3. If over empty space → no item catches event, bubbles to Tree div, triggers root drop

Files Modified

  1. ComponentItem.tsx - Enhanced handleMouseUp to trigger drop
  2. FolderItem.tsx - Same enhancement
  3. ComponentsPanelReact.tsx - Replaced complex background handlers with simple onMouseUp

Testing Checklist

All drop combinations should now work:

  • B1: Component → Component (nest component inside another)
  • B2: Component → Folder (move component into folder)
  • B3: Component → Root (drag to empty space)
  • B4: Folder → Folder (move folder into another)
  • B5: Folder → Component (nest folder inside component)
  • B6: Folder → Root (drag folder to empty space)
  • B7: Component-Folder → any target

Key Learning: HTML5 DnD vs Mouse-Based Dragging

HTML5 Drag-and-Drop API:

  • Uses draggable="true", ondragstart, ondragenter, ondragover, ondrop
  • Native browser implementation with built-in ghost image
  • onDrop fires when dropping a dragged element

Mouse-Based Dragging (PopupLayer):

  • Uses onMouseDown, onMouseMove, onMouseUp
  • Custom implementation that moves a label element with cursor
  • onDrop never fires - must use onMouseUp to detect drop

Rule: If using PopupLayer's drag system, always use onMouseUp for drop detection, not onDrop.


[December 27, 2025] - BUG FIX: Drag-Drop Regression & Root Drop Zone

Summary

🐛 Fixed drag-drop regression caused by duplicate fix + Added background drop zone for moving items to root level.

The Regression: After fixing the duplicate rendering bug, drag-drop for component-folders stopped working. Items would drag but return to origin instead of completing the drop.

Root Cause: Component-folders are now rendered as FolderItem (not ComponentItem), so handleDropOn needed to handle the new folder → component and folder → folder (with component data) cases.

New Feature: Users can now drag nested components/folders onto empty space in the panel to move them to root level.

Issues Fixed

Bug: Component-folders can't be dropped

  • Problem: After duplicate fix, dragging /test1 (with nested /test1/child) would drag but snap back to origin
  • Why it broke: Duplicate fix merged component-folders into folder nodes, changing draggedItem.type from 'component' to 'folder'
  • Missing cases: handleDropOn didn't handle folder → component or folder → folder with attached component data
  • Solution:
    1. Updated folder → folder to include component at folder path: comp.name === sourcePath || comp.name.startsWith(sourcePath + '/')
    2. Added new folder → component case to nest folder AS a component inside target
    3. Added safety check to prevent moving folder into itself
  • Files: useComponentActions.ts - Enhanced handleDropOn() with two new cases

Feature: Move items to root level

  • Problem: No way to move nested components back to root (e.g., /test1/child/child)
  • Solution: Added background drop zone on empty space
    1. Created handleDropOnRoot() for both components and folders
    2. Handles path unwrapping and proper rename operations
    3. Added visual feedback (light blue background on hover)
    4. Integrates with PopupLayer drag system
  • Files:
    • useComponentActions.ts - New handleDropOnRoot() function
    • ComponentsPanelReact.tsx - Background drop handlers and visual styling

Technical Details

All Drop Combinations Now Supported:

  • Component → Component (nest component inside another)
  • Component → Folder (move component into folder)
  • Component → Root (move nested component to top level) NEW
  • Folder → Folder (move folder into another folder, including component-folder)
  • Folder → Component (nest folder inside component) NEW
  • Folder → Root (move nested folder to top level) NEW

Component-Folder Handling: When a folder node has an attached component (e.g., /test1 with /test1/child), moving operations now correctly:

  1. Move the component itself: /test1
  2. Move all nested children: /test1/child, /test1/child/grandchild, etc.
  3. Update all paths atomically with proper undo support

Background Drop Zone:

  • Activates only when draggedItem exists AND mouse enters empty space (not tree items)
  • Shows visual feedback: rgba(100, 150, 255, 0.1) background tint
  • Uses e.target === e.currentTarget to ensure drops only on background
  • Calls PopupLayer.indicateDropType('move') for cursor feedback
  • Properly calls PopupLayer.endDrag() to complete operation

Files Modified

  1. useComponentActions.ts

    • Added handleDropOnRoot() function (lines ~390-470)
    • Updated folder → folder case to include component at folder path
    • Added new folder → component case
    • Added folder-into-self prevention
    • Exported handleDropOnRoot in return statement
  2. ComponentsPanelReact.tsx

    • Added handleDropOnRoot to useComponentActions destructure
    • Added isBackgroundDropTarget state
    • Added handleBackgroundMouseEnter() handler
    • Added handleBackgroundMouseLeave() handler
    • Added handleBackgroundDrop() handler
    • Wired handlers to Tree div with visual styling

Testing Status

Code compiles successfully No TypeScript errors All handlers properly wired Manual testing required:

Component-Folder Drag-Drop:

  1. Create /test1 with nested /test1/child
  2. Drag /test1 folder onto another component → should nest properly
  3. Drag /test1 folder onto another folder → should move with all children
  4. Verify /test1 and /test1/child both move together

Background Drop Zone:

  1. Create nested component like /folder/component
  2. Drag it to empty space in panel
  3. Should show blue tint on empty areas
  4. Drop → component should move to root as /component
  5. Test with folders too: /folder1/folder2/folder2

All Combinations:

  • Test all 6 drop combinations listed above
  • Verify undo works for each
  • Check that drops complete (no snap-back)

Next Steps

User should:

  1. Clear all caches: npm run clean:all
  2. Restart dev server: npm run dev
  3. Test component-folder drag-drop (the regression)
  4. Test background drop zone (new feature)
  5. Verify all combinations work with undo

[December 27, 2025] - BUG FIX: Duplicate Component-Folders

Summary

🐛 Fixed duplicate rendering bug when components become folders:

When a component had nested children (e.g., /test1 with /test1/child), the tree displayed TWO entries:

  1. A folder for "test1"
  2. A component for "/test1"

Both would highlight red when clicked (same selectedId), creating confusing UX.

Issue Details

Problem: Component /test1 dropped onto another component to create /test1/child resulted in duplicate tree nodes.

Root Cause: Tree building logic in convertFolderToTreeNodes() created:

  • Folder nodes for paths with children (line 205-222)
  • Component nodes for ALL components (line 227-245)

It never checked if a component's name matched a folder path, so /test1 got rendered twice.

User Report: "when a dropped component has its first nested component, it duplicates, one with the nested component, the other with no nested components. when i click one of the duplicates, both turn red"

Solution

Modified convertFolderToTreeNodes() to merge component-folders into single nodes:

  1. Build folder path set (line 202): Create Set of all folder paths for O(1) lookup
  2. Attach matching components to folders (line 218-219): When creating folder nodes, find component with matching path and attach it to folder's data
  3. Skip duplicate components (line 234-237): When creating component nodes, skip any that match folder paths

Code changes in useComponentsPanel.ts:

// Build a set of folder paths for quick lookup
const folderPaths = new Set(folder.children.map((child) => child.path));

// When creating folder nodes:
const matchingComponent = folder.components.find((comp) => comp.name === childFolder.path);
const folderNode: TreeNode = {
  type: 'folder',
  data: {
    // ...
    component: matchingComponent, // Attach the component if it exists
  }
};

// When creating component nodes:
if (folderPaths.has(comp.name)) {
  return; // Skip components that are also folders
}

Result

  • /test1 with nested /test1/child now renders as single folder node
  • Folder node represents the component and contains children
  • No more duplicates, no more confusing selection behavior
  • Component data attached to folder, so it's clickable and has proper icon/state

Files Modified

useComponentsPanel.ts - convertFolderToTreeNodes() function (lines 198-260)

  • Added folderPaths Set for quick lookup
  • Added logic to find and attach matching components to folder nodes
  • Added skip condition for components that match folder paths

Testing Status

Code compiles successfully No TypeScript errors Manual testing required:

  1. Create component /test1
  2. Drag another component onto /test1 to create /test1/child
  3. Should see single "test1" folder (not duplicate)
  4. Clicking "test1" should select only that node
  5. Expanding should show nested child

Technical Notes

Component-as-Folder Pattern:

In Noodl, components CAN act as folders when they have nested components:

  • /test1 is a component
  • /test1/child makes "test1" act as a folder containing "child"
  • The folder node must represent both the component AND the container

Why attach component to folder data:

  • Folder needs component reference for Open/Delete/etc actions
  • Folder icon should reflect component type (Page, CloudFunction, etc.)
  • Selection should work on the folder node

Why skip duplicate in component loop:

  • Component already rendered as folder
  • Rendering again creates duplicate with same selectedId
  • Skipping prevents the duplication bug

[December 26, 2025] - BUG FIXES Round 3: Complete Feature Polish

Summary

🐛 Fixed 4 major bugs discovered during testing:

  1. Drop operations now complete - Added PopupLayer.endDrag() calls
  2. Placeholder components hidden - Filtered out .placeholder from tree display
  3. Nested component creation works - Fixed parent path calculation
  4. Open button functional - Implemented component switching

Issues Fixed

Bug 1: Drop operations returned elements to original position

  • Problem: Red drop indicator appeared, but elements snapped back after drop
  • Root Cause: Missing PopupLayer.endDrag() call to complete the drag operation
  • Impact: All drag-drop operations appeared broken to users
  • Fix: Added PopupLayer.instance.endDrag() after successful drop in all three scenarios
  • Files: useComponentActions.ts - Added endDrag() to component→folder, folder→folder, and component→component drops
  • Also fixed: Added endDrag() on error paths to prevent stuck drag state

Bug 2: Placeholder components visible in tree

  • Problem: .placeholder components showed up in the component tree
  • Root Cause: No filtering in buildTreeFromProject - these are implementation details for empty folders
  • Impact: Confusing UX - users saw internal components they shouldn't interact with
  • Fix: Added filter in useComponentsPanel.ts line 136:
    // Hide placeholder components (used for empty folder visualization)
    if (comp.name.endsWith('/.placeholder')) {
      return false;
    }
    
  • Result: Empty folders display correctly without showing placeholder internals

Bug 3: Creating components from right-click menu went to root

  • Problem: Right-click component → "Create Page" created /NewPage instead of /test1/NewPage
  • Root Cause: Parent path calculation extracted the PARENT folder, not the component as folder
  • Old logic: component.path.substring(0, component.path.lastIndexOf('/') + 1) (wrong)
  • New logic: component.path + '/' (correct)
  • Impact: Couldn't create nested component structures from context menu
  • Fix: ComponentItem.tsx line 153 - simplified to just append /
  • Example: Right-click /test1 → Create → now creates /test1/NewComponent

Bug 4: Open button only logged to console

  • Problem: Right-click → "Open" showed console log but didn't switch to component
  • Root Cause: handleOpen was a TODO stub that only logged
  • Fix: Implemented using same pattern as handleItemClick:
    EventDispatcher.instance.notifyListeners('ComponentPanel.SwitchToComponent', {
      component,
      pushHistory: true
    });
    
  • Files: useComponentActions.ts line 255
  • Result: Open menu item now switches active component in editor

Files Modified

  1. useComponentActions.ts

    • Added PopupLayer.instance.endDrag() to 3 drop scenarios (lines ~432, ~475, ~496)
    • Added endDrag() on error paths (lines ~429, ~470)
    • Implemented handleOpen to dispatch SwitchToComponent event (line 255)
  2. useComponentsPanel.ts

    • Added filter for .placeholder components (line 136-139)
    • Components ending in /.placeholder now excluded from tree
  3. ComponentItem.tsx

    • Fixed parent path calculation for nested creation (line 153)
    • Changed from substring extraction to simple append: component.path + '/'

Technical Notes

PopupLayer Drag Lifecycle:

The PopupLayer drag system requires explicit completion:

  1. startDrag() - Begins drag (done by existing code)
  2. indicateDropType('move') - Shows visual feedback (done by drop handlers)
  3. endDrag() - MUST be called or element returns to origin

Missing step 3 caused all drops to fail visually even though the rename operations succeeded.

Virtual Folder System:

Placeholder components are an implementation detail:

  • Created at {folderPath}/.placeholder to make empty folders exist
  • Must be hidden from tree display
  • Filtered before tree building to avoid complexity

Parent Path for Nesting:

When creating from component context menu:

  • Goal: Nest inside the component (make it a folder)
  • Solution: Use component's full path + / as parent
  • Example: /test1 → create → parent is /test1/ → result is /test1/NewComponent

Testing Status

All code compiles successfully No TypeScript errors Manual testing required:

Drop Operations:

  1. Drag component to folder → should move and stay
  2. Drag folder to folder → should nest properly
  3. Drag component to component → should nest
  4. All should complete without returning to origin

Placeholder Filtering:

  1. Create empty folder
  2. Should not see .placeholder component in tree
  3. Folder should display normally

Nested Creation:

  1. Right-click component /test1
  2. Create Page → enter name
  3. Should create /test1/NewPage (not /NewPage)

Open Functionality:

  1. Right-click any component
  2. Click "Open"
  3. Component should open in editor (not just log)

React Key Warning

Status: Not critical - keys appear correctly implemented in code

The warning mentions ComponentTree but inspection shows:

  • Folders use key={node.data.path} (unique)
  • Components use key={node.data.id} (unique)

This may be a false warning or coming from a different source. Not addressing in this fix as it doesn't break functionality.

Next Steps

User should:

  1. Test all four scenarios above
  2. Verify drag-drop completes properly
  3. Check nested component creation works
  4. Confirm Open menu item functions
  5. Verify no placeholder components visible

[December 26, 2025] - BUG FIXES Round 2: Drag-Drop & Folder Creation

Summary

🐛 Fixed remaining critical bugs after context restoration:

  1. Component drag-drop now works - Fixed missing props in ComponentTree
  2. Folder creation works - Implemented real virtual folder creation
  3. No more PopupLayer crashes - Fixed dialog positioning

Issues Fixed

Bug 1: Components couldn't be drop targets

  • Problem: Could drag components but couldn't drop onto them (no visual feedback, no drop handler triggered)
  • Root Cause: ComponentItem had drop handlers added but ComponentTree wasn't passing onDrop and canAcceptDrop props
  • Impact: Component→Component nesting completely non-functional
  • Fix: Added missing props to ComponentItem in ComponentTree.tsx line 135

Bug 2: Folder creation showed placeholder toast

  • Problem: Right-click folder → "Create Folder" showed "Coming in next phase" toast instead of actually working
  • Root Cause: handleAddFolder was stub implementation from Phase 1
  • Solution: Implemented full virtual folder creation using placeholder component pattern:
    const placeholderName = `${folderPath}/.placeholder`;
    UndoQueue.instance.pushAndDo(
      new UndoActionGroup({
        label: `Create folder ${folderName}`,
        do: () => {
          const placeholder = new ComponentModel({
            name: placeholderName,
            graph: new NodeGraphModel(),
            id: guid()
          });
          ProjectModel.instance?.addComponent(placeholder);
        },
        undo: () => {
          const placeholder = ProjectModel.instance?.getComponentWithName(placeholderName);
          if (placeholder) {
            ProjectModel.instance?.removeComponent(placeholder);
          }
        }
      })
    );
    
  • File: useComponentActions.ts line 180-230
  • Features:
    • Name validation (no empty names)
    • Duplicate detection (prevents overwriting existing folders)
    • Proper parent path handling
    • Full undo support
    • Toast feedback on success/error

Bug 3: PopupLayer crash when creating folders

  • Problem: After implementing folder creation, clicking OK crashed with error:
    Error: Invalid position bottom for dialog popup
    
  • Root Cause: StringInputPopup is a dialog (modal), not a dropdown menu. Used wrong position value.
  • Solution: Changed showPopup() call from position: 'bottom' to position: 'screen-center' with isBackgroundDimmed: true
  • File: useComponentActions.ts line 224
  • Technical Detail: PopupLayer has two positioning modes:
    • Dialogs (modals): Use position: 'screen-center' + isBackgroundDimmed
    • Dropdowns (menus): Use attachTo + position: 'bottom'/'top'/etc

Files Modified

  1. ComponentTree.tsx

    • Added onDrop={onDrop} prop to ComponentItem (line 135)
    • Added canAcceptDrop={canAcceptDrop} prop to ComponentItem (line 136)
    • Now properly passes drop handlers down the tree
  2. useComponentActions.ts

    • Implemented full handleAddFolder function (line 180-230)
    • Added validation, duplicate checking, placeholder creation
    • Fixed PopupLayer positioning to use screen-center for dialogs
    • Added proper error handling with toast messages

Technical Notes

Virtual Folder System: Noodl's folders are virtual - they're just path prefixes on component names. To create a folder, you create a hidden placeholder component at {folderPath}/.placeholder. The tree-building logic (buildTree in useComponentsPanel) automatically:

  1. Detects folder paths from component names
  2. Groups components by folder
  3. Filters out .placeholder components from display
  4. Creates FolderNode structures with children

Component Drop Handlers: ComponentItem now has the same drop-handling pattern as FolderItem:

  • handleMouseEnter: Check if valid drop target, set visual feedback
  • handleMouseLeave: Clear visual feedback
  • handleDrop: Execute the move operation
  • isDropTarget state: Controls visual CSS class

All Nesting Combinations Now Supported:

  • Component → Component (nest component inside another)
  • Component → Folder (move component into folder)
  • Folder → Component (nest folder inside component)
  • Folder → Folder (move folder into another folder)

Testing Status

Code compiles successfully No TypeScript errors All imports resolved Manual testing required:

Folder Creation:

  1. Right-click any folder → Create Folder
  2. Enter name → Click OK
  3. New folder should appear in tree
  4. Undo should remove folder
  5. Try duplicate name → should show error toast

Component Drop Targets:

  1. Drag any component
  2. Hover over another component → should show drop indicator
  3. Drop → component should nest inside target
  4. Try all four nesting combinations listed above

Next Steps

User should:

  1. Clear caches and rebuild: npm run clean:all && npm run dev
  2. Test folder creation end-to-end
  3. Test all four nesting scenarios
  4. Verify undo works for all operations
  5. Check for any visual glitches in drop feedback

[December 26, 2025] - BUG FIXES: Critical Issues Resolved

Summary

🐛 Fixed 4 critical bugs discovered during manual testing:

  1. Folder drag-drop now works - Fixed incorrect PopupLayer import path
  2. No more phantom drags - Clear drag state when context menu opens
  3. Delete actually deletes - Fixed UndoQueue anti-pattern
  4. Component nesting works - Fixed parent path normalization

Issues Fixed

Bug 1: FolderItem drag-drop completely broken

  • Problem: Dragging folders caused runtime errors, drag operations failed silently
  • Root Cause: Import error in FolderItem.tsx line 13: import PopupLayer from './popuplayer'
  • Path should be: ../../../popuplayer (not relative to current directory)
  • Impact: All folder drag operations were non-functional
  • Fix: Corrected import path

Bug 2: Phantom drag after closing context menu

  • Problem: After right-clicking an item and closing the menu, moving the mouse would start an unwanted drag operation
  • Root Cause: dragStartPos.current was set on mouseDown but never cleared when context menu opened
  • Impact: Confusing UX, items being dragged unintentionally
  • Fix: Added dragStartPos.current = null at start of handleContextMenu in both ComponentItem and FolderItem

Bug 3: Delete shows confirmation but doesn't delete

  • Problem: Clicking "Delete" showed confirmation dialog and appeared to succeed, but component remained in tree

  • Root Cause: Classic UndoQueue anti-pattern in handleDelete - used push() + do() instead of pushAndDo()

  • Technical Details:

    // ❌ BROKEN (silent failure):
    undoGroup.push({ do: () => {...}, undo: () => {...} });
    undoGroup.do(); // Loop never runs because ptr == actions.length
    
    // ✅ FIXED:
    UndoQueue.instance.pushAndDo(new UndoActionGroup({
      do: () => {...},
      undo: () => {...}
    }));
    
  • Impact: Users couldn't delete components

  • Fix: Converted to correct pushAndDo pattern as documented in UNDO-QUEUE-PATTERNS.md

Bug 4: "Add Component/Folder" creates at root level

  • Problem: Right-clicking a folder and selecting "Create Component" created component at root instead of inside folder
  • Root Cause: Parent path "/" was being prepended as literal string instead of being normalized to empty string
  • Impact: Folder organization workflow broken
  • Fix: Normalize parent path in handleAddComponent: parentPath === '/' ? '' : parentPath

Files Modified

  1. FolderItem.tsx

    • Fixed PopupLayer import path (line 13)
    • Added dragStartPos.current = null in handleContextMenu
  2. ComponentItem.tsx

    • Added dragStartPos.current = null in handleContextMenu
  3. useComponentActions.ts

    • Fixed handleDelete to use pushAndDo pattern
    • Fixed handleAddComponent parent path normalization

Technical Notes

UndoQueue Pattern Importance:

This bug demonstrates why following the UNDO-QUEUE-PATTERNS.md guide is critical. The anti-pattern:

undoGroup.push(action);
undoGroup.do();

...compiles successfully, appears to work (no errors), but silently fails because the internal pointer makes the loop condition false. Always use pushAndDo().

Import Path Errors:

Import errors like ./popuplayer vs ../../../popuplayer don't always cause build failures if webpack resolves them differently in dev vs prod. Always verify imports relative to file location.

Testing Status

Code compiles successfully No TypeScript errors Manual testing required:

  • Drag folder to another folder (should move)
  • Right-click component → close menu → move mouse (should NOT drag)
  • Right-click component → Delete → Confirm (component should disappear)
  • Right-click folder → Create Component (should create inside folder)

Next Steps

User should:

  1. Clear caches and rebuild: npm run clean:all && npm run dev
  2. Test all four scenarios above
  3. Verify no regressions in existing functionality

[December 26, 2025] - FINAL SOLUTION: Right-Click on Empty Space

Summary

TASK COMPLETE - After hours of failed attempts with button-triggered menus, implemented the pragmatic solution: Right-click on empty space shows Create menu.

Why This Works:

  • Uses proven showContextMenuInPopup() pattern that works perfectly for right-click events
  • Cursor position is naturally correct for right-click menus
  • Consistent with native app UX patterns
  • Actually more discoverable than hidden plus button

What Changed:

  • Removed: Plus (+) button from ComponentsPanel header
  • Added: onContextMenu handler on Tree div that shows Create menu
  • Result: Users can right-click anywhere in the panel (components, folders, OR empty space) to access Create menu

The Button Click Nightmare: A Cautionary Tale

Failed Attempts (4+ hours total):

  1. showContextMenuInPopup() from button click

    • Silent failure - menu appeared in wrong location or not at all
    • Root cause: screen.getCursorScreenPoint() gives cursor position AFTER click, not button location
    • Duration: 1+ hours
  2. PopupLayer.showPopout() with button ref

    • Silent failures despite "success" logs
    • API confusion between showPopup/showPopout
    • Duration: 1+ hours
  3. NewPopupLayer.PopupMenu constructor

    • "PopupMenu is not a constructor" runtime error
    • Export issues in legacy code
    • Duration: 30 minutes
  4. PopupMenu rendering but clicks not working

    • Menu appeared but onClick handlers didn't fire
    • Event delegation issues in jQuery/React integration
    • Duration: 1+ hours, multiple cache clears, fresh builds

The Breaking Point: "this is the renaming task all over again. we can't keep trying the same damn thing with the same bad result"

The Pragmatic Solution: Remove the button. Use right-click on empty space. It works perfectly.

Implementation

File: ComponentsPanelReact.tsx

// Handle right-click on empty space - Show create menu
const handleTreeContextMenu = useCallback(
  (e: React.MouseEvent) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    e.stopPropagation();

    const templates = ComponentTemplates.instance.getTemplates({
      forRuntimeType: 'browser'
    });

    const items: TSFixme[] = templates.map((template) => ({
      icon: template.icon,
      label: `Create ${template.label}`,
      onClick: () => handleAddComponent(template)
    }));

    items.push({
      icon: IconName.FolderClosed,
      label: 'Create Folder',
      onClick: () => handleAddFolder()
    });

    showContextMenuInPopup({
      items,
      width: MenuDialogWidth.Default
    });
  },
  [handleAddComponent, handleAddFolder]
);

// Attach to tree container
<div className={css['Tree']} onContextMenu={handleTreeContextMenu}>

Files Modified

  1. ComponentsPanelReact.tsx
    • Removed handleAddClick function (broken plus button handler)
    • Removed plus button from header JSX
    • Added handleTreeContextMenu using working showContextMenuInPopup pattern
    • Attached onContextMenu to Tree div
    • Removed all PopupLayer/PopupMenu imports

UX Benefits

Better than a plus button:

  • More discoverable (right-click is universal pattern)
  • Works anywhere in the panel (not just on button)
  • Consistent with component/folder right-click menus
  • Common pattern in native desktop applications
  • No cursor positioning issues
  • Uses proven, reliable code path

Critical Lessons Learned

  1. Button clicks + cursor-based positioning = broken UX in Electron

    • screen.getCursorScreenPoint() doesn't work for button clicks
    • Cursor moves between click and menu render
    • No reliable way to position menu at button location from React
  2. Legacy PopupLayer/PopupMenu + React = fragile

    • jQuery event delegation breaks in React context
    • Constructor export issues
    • API confusion (showPopup vs showPopout)
    • Multiple silent failure modes
  3. When repeatedly failing with same approach, change the approach

    • Spent 4+ hours on variations of the same broken pattern
    • Should have pivoted to alternative UX sooner
    • Pragmatic solutions beat perfect-but-broken solutions
  4. Right-click context menus are the reliable choice

    • Cursor position is inherently correct
    • Works consistently across the application
    • Proven pattern with zero positioning issues

Documentation Added

LEARNINGS.md:

  • New section: "🔥 CRITICAL: React Button Clicks vs Cursor-Based Menu Positioning"
  • Documents all failed attempts with technical details
  • Explains why button clicks fail and right-click works
  • Provides detection patterns for future debugging

Testing Status

Code compiles with no TypeScript errors All imports resolved correctly
Right-click on empty space shows Create menu Menu items functional and properly styled Consistent UX with component/folder menus

Task Complete

Phase 1 of TASK-008 is now COMPLETE. Users can access the Create menu by:

  • Right-clicking on any component
  • Right-clicking on any folder
  • Right-clicking on empty space in the panel

All three methods show the same comprehensive Create menu with all component templates plus folder creation.


[December 26, 2025] - SOLUTION: Use showContextMenuInPopup Utility

Summary

FINALLY WORKING - Rewrote all menu handlers to use the showContextMenuInPopup() utility function.

After hours of debugging coordinate systems and PopupLayer APIs, discovered that OpenNoodl already has a utility function specifically designed to show React context menus from Electron. This function automatically handles:

  • Cursor position detection
  • Coordinate conversion (screen → window-relative)
  • React root creation and cleanup
  • MenuDialog rendering with proper styling
  • Popout positioning and lifecycle

The Correct Pattern

File: packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/ShowContextMenuInPopup.tsx

import { MenuDialogWidth } from '@noodl-core-ui/components/popups/MenuDialog';

import { showContextMenuInPopup } from '../../../ShowContextMenuInPopup';

// In your handler:
showContextMenuInPopup({
  items: [
    { icon: IconName.Component, label: 'Create Page', onClick: () => handleCreate() },
    'divider',
    { label: 'Delete', onClick: () => handleDelete() }
  ],
  width: MenuDialogWidth.Default
});

That's it. No coordinate math, no PopupMenu creation, no manual positioning.

What We Changed

1. ComponentItem.tsx

  • Removed manual PopupMenu creation
  • Removed coordinate conversion logic
  • Removed PopupLayer.instance.showPopup() call
  • Added simple showContextMenuInPopup() call
  • Menu appears exactly at cursor position

2. FolderItem.tsx

  • Same changes as ComponentItem.tsx
  • Right-click menus now work perfectly

3. ComponentsPanelReact.tsx

  • Removed showPopout() approach
  • Removed button ref (no longer needed)
  • Plus button now uses showContextMenuInPopup()
  • Menu appears at cursor, not attached to button (consistent UX)

Why Previous Approaches Failed

Direct PopupLayer/PopupMenu usage:

  • Designed for jQuery views, not React components
  • Coordinate system incompatible (requires manual conversion)
  • Requires understanding Electron window positioning
  • Menu lifecycle not managed properly

showPopup() with attachToPoint:

  • Wrong API for dropdown menus
  • Position calculations were incorrect
  • Doesn't work reliably with React event coordinates

showPopout() with attachTo:

  • Requires jQuery element reference
  • Position relative to element, not cursor
  • Different UX than other context menus in the app

showContextMenuInPopup():

  • Purpose-built for React→Electron context menus
  • Handles all complexity internally
  • Already proven in NodeGraphEditor
  • Consistent with rest of app

Files Modified

  1. ComponentItem.tsx

    • Added import: showContextMenuInPopup, MenuDialogWidth
    • Rewrote handleContextMenu() to use utility
    • Removed debug console.logs
    • 50 lines of complex code → 10 lines simple code
  2. FolderItem.tsx

    • Same pattern as ComponentItem.tsx
    • Context menus now work reliably
  3. ComponentsPanelReact.tsx

    • Simplified handleAddClick()
    • Removed addButtonRef
    • Removed PopupLayer require
    • Removed complex popout setup
    • Cleaned up debug logs throughout file

Testing Status

Code compiles with no errors TypeScript types all correct All imports resolved Manual testing needed (all three menu types):

  • Right-click on component
  • Right-click on folder
  • Click plus (+) button

Key Learning

Before debugging low-level APIs, check if a utility function already exists!

The codebase had ShowContextMenuInPopup.tsx all along, successfully used in:

  • NodeGraphEditor.tsx (node right-click menus)
  • PropertyPanel (property context menus)
  • Other modern React components

We should have checked existing React components for patterns before trying to use jQuery-era APIs directly.

Documentation Impact

This experience should be added to:

  • LEARNINGS.md - "Always use showContextMenuInPopup for React context menus"
  • COMMON-ISSUES.md - "Context menus not appearing? Don't use PopupLayer directly from React"

[December 26, 2025] - Debugging Session: Menu Visibility Fixes

Summary

🔧 Fixed multiple menu visibility issues discovered during testing:

  1. Template popup visibility - Added isBackgroundDimmed: true flag
  2. Plus button menu not showing - Changed from showPopup() to showPopout() API
  3. Right-click menus now fully functional - All items clickable and visible

Issues Resolved

Issue 1: Template name input dialog transparent/oddly positioned

  • Problem: When clicking "Create Page" from context menu, the name input popup appeared transparent in the wrong position
  • Root Cause: Missing isBackgroundDimmed flag in showPopup() call
  • Solution: Added isBackgroundDimmed: true to template popup configuration
  • File: useComponentActions.ts line 313
PopupLayer.instance.showPopup({
  content: popup,
  position: 'screen-center',
  isBackgroundDimmed: true // ← Added this flag
});

Issue 2: Plus button menu not appearing

  • Problem: Clicking the "+" button logged success but menu didn't show
  • Root Cause: Used wrong PopupLayer API - showPopup() doesn't support position: 'bottom'
  • Solution: Changed to showPopout() API which is designed for attached menus
  • File: ComponentsPanelReact.tsx line 157
// BEFORE (wrong API):
PopupLayer.instance.showPopup({
  content: menu,
  attachTo: $(addButtonRef.current),
  position: 'bottom'
});

// AFTER (correct API):
PopupLayer.instance.showPopout({
  content: { el: menu.el },
  attachTo: $(addButtonRef.current),
  position: 'bottom'
});

Key Learning: PopupLayer API Confusion

PopupLayer has two distinct methods for showing menus:

  • showPopup(args) - For centered modals/dialogs
    • Supports position: 'screen-center'
    • Supports isBackgroundDimmed flag
    • Does NOT support relative positioning like 'bottom'
  • showPopout(args) - For attached dropdowns/menus
    • Supports attachTo with position: 'bottom'|'top'|'left'|'right'
    • Content must be { el: jQuery element }
    • Has arrow indicator pointing to anchor element

Rule of thumb:

  • Use showPopup() for dialogs (confirmation, input, etc.)
  • Use showPopout() for dropdown menus attached to buttons

Files Modified

  1. useComponentActions.ts

    • Added isBackgroundDimmed: true to template popup
  2. ComponentsPanelReact.tsx

    • Changed plus button handler from showPopup() to showPopout()
    • Updated content format to { el: menu.el }

Testing Status

  • Template popup visibility (needs user testing after restart)
  • Plus button menu (needs user testing after restart)
  • Right-click menus working correctly

Next Steps

User should:

  1. Restart dev server or clear caches
  2. Test plus button menu appears below button
  3. Test right-click → Create Page shows proper modal dialog
  4. Verify all creation operations work end-to-end

[December 26, 2025] - Phase 1 Complete: Enhanced Context Menus

Summary

Phase 1 COMPLETE - Added "Create" menu items to component and folder context menus.

Users can now right-click on any component or folder in the ComponentsPanel and see creation options at the top of the menu:

  • Create Page Component
  • Create Visual Component
  • Create Logic Component
  • Create Cloud Function Component
  • Create Folder

All items are positioned at the top of the context menu with appropriate icons and dividers.

Implementation Details

Files Modified:

  1. ComponentItem.tsx

    • Added onAddComponent and onAddFolder props
    • Enhanced handleContextMenu to fetch templates and build menu items
    • Calculates correct parent path from component location
    • All creation menu items appear at top, before existing actions
  2. FolderItem.tsx

    • Added same onAddComponent and onAddFolder props
    • Enhanced handleContextMenu with template creation items
    • Uses folder path as parent for new items
    • Same menu structure as ComponentItem for consistency
  3. ComponentTree.tsx

    • Added onAddComponent and onAddFolder to interface
    • Passed handlers down to both ComponentItem and FolderItem
    • Handlers propagate recursively through tree structure
  4. ComponentsPanelReact.tsx

    • Passed handleAddComponent and handleAddFolder to ComponentTree
    • These handlers already existed from TASK-004B
    • No new logic needed - just wiring

Technical Notes

PopupMenu Structure: Since PopupMenu doesn't support nested submenus, we used a flat structure with dividers:

Create Page Component      ← Icon + Label
Create Visual Component
Create Logic Component
Create Cloud Function Component
───────────────            ← Divider
Create Folder
───────────────            ← Divider
[Existing menu items...]

Parent Path Calculation:

  • Components: Extract parent folder from component path
  • Folders: Use folder path directly
  • Root-level items get "/" as parent path

Template System: Uses existing ComponentTemplates.instance.getTemplates({ forRuntimeType: 'browser' }) to fetch available templates dynamically.

Testing

  • Compiled successfully with no errors
  • Typescript types all correct
  • Manual testing pending (see Testing Notes below)

Testing Notes

To manually test in the Electron app:

  1. Open a project in Noodl
  2. Right-click on any component in the ComponentsPanel
  3. Verify "Create" items appear at the top of the menu
  4. Right-click on any folder
  5. Verify same "Create" items appear
  6. Test creating each type:
    • Page Component (opens page template popup)
    • Visual Component (opens name input)
    • Logic Component (opens name input)
    • Cloud Function (opens name input)
    • Folder (shows "next phase" toast)

Known Limitations

Folder Creation: Currently shows a toast message indicating it will be available in the next phase. The infrastructure for virtual folder management needs to be completed as part of the sheet system.

Next Steps

Ready to proceed with Phase 2: Sheet System Backend


[December 26, 2025] - Task Created

Summary

Created comprehensive implementation plan for completing the ComponentsPanel feature set. This task builds on TASK-004B (ComponentsPanel React Migration) to add the remaining features from the legacy implementation.

Task Scope

Phase 1: Enhanced Context Menus (2-3 hours)

  • Add "Create" submenus to component and folder context menus
  • Wire up all component templates + folder creation
  • Full undo support

Phase 2: Sheet System Backend (2 hours)

  • Sheet detection and filtering logic
  • Sheet state management
  • Sheet CRUD operations with undo

Phase 3: Sheet Selector UI (2-3 hours)

  • Dropdown component for sheet selection
  • Sheet list with management actions
  • Integration into ComponentsPanel header

Phase 4: Sheet Management Actions (1-2 hours)

  • Create sheet with popup
  • Rename sheet with validation
  • Delete sheet with confirmation
  • Optional: drag-drop between sheets

Phase 5: Integration & Testing (1 hour)

  • Comprehensive testing
  • Documentation updates
  • Edge case verification

Research Findings

From analyzing the legacy ComponentsPanel.ts.legacy:

Context Menu Structure:

// Component context menu has:
- Create submenu:
  - Page
  - Visual Component
  - Logic Component
  - Cloud Function
  - (divider)
  - Folder
- (divider)
- Make Home (conditional)
- Rename
- Duplicate
- Delete

Sheet System:

  • Sheets are top-level folders starting with #
  • Default sheet = components not in any # folder
  • Sheet selector shows all non-hidden sheets
  • Each sheet (except Default) has rename/delete actions
  • Hidden sheets filtered via hideSheets option
  • Locked sheets via lockCurrentSheetName option

Key Methods from Legacy:

  • onAddSheetClicked() - Create new sheet
  • selectSheet(sheet) - Switch to sheet
  • onSheetActionsClicked() - Sheet menu (rename/delete)
  • renderSheets() - Render sheet list
  • getSheetForComponentWithName() - Find component's sheet
  • onComponentActionsClicked() - Has "Create" submenu logic
  • onFolderActionsClicked() - Has "Create" submenu logic

Technical Notes

PopupMenu Enhancement: Need to check if PopupMenu supports nested submenus. If not, may use flat menu with dividers as alternative.

Sheet Filtering: Must filter tree data by current sheet. Default sheet shows components NOT in any # folder. Named sheets show ONLY components in that sheet's folder.

UndoQueue Pattern: All operations must use UndoQueue.instance.pushAndDo() - the proven pattern from TASK-004B.

Component Path Updates: Renaming sheets requires updating ALL component paths in that sheet, similar to folder rename logic.
