Step 3 of docs/CATALOG-PAGINATION-PLAN.md. Step 2 added the targeted
routes; these are the five callers that were fetching all ~16k products
to find a handful of rows:
product screen whole catalogue, then find(id) -> GET /products/:id
cart re-sync whole catalogue for 2-3 lines -> ?ids=
favourites whole catalogue, filtered here -> ?ids=
home categories categories derived from it -> /products/facets
order row labels joined on variantId -> included with the order
Three of these were not merely slow, they were going to be wrong.
Favourites filtered the loaded catalogue, so once the list pages a
favourite outside the loaded slice silently disappears. Home categories
were derived the same way, so a category whose products all sit further
down would vanish from the home screen. Order rows looked their title up
in the catalogue, which ALREADY failed for a product that had since left
the storefront — exactly the old orders history exists for — and
rendered a blank row.
Order labels went to the server rather than to another id lookup: the
item carries productVariantId, not a product id, so ?ids= could not
answer it. One nested include in getOrders returns the variant, its
product and the product's first image. Deliberately NOT filtered by
storefront visibility, so a de-listed product still shows what was
bought; asserted in the new spec. OrderItemCard is synchronous now — no
fetch, no onMounted, the row renders complete on its first frame.
variantLookup is deleted from catalogStore rather than left behind: it
existed only to label order rows, and keeping it would have kept a
reason to load the full catalogue.
getProductsByIds chunks at 100 because the route caps ids there and
drops the rest. A partial answer reads to callers as "these products are
no longer on the storefront" — the cart would silently drop valid lines.
Favourites already run to 874 rows in the imported data (FAV-01).
A failed cart re-sync now leaves the cart alone: it is the person's own
data in localStorage, and dropping lines because the network blinked is
worse than a slightly stale price. The product screen tells a real 404
from a failed request, so only the former renders the not-found page.
One bug introduced and caught while doing this: moving the home
categories to /facets meant memory.init() no longer loaded the catalogue
as a side effect, and the home rails read catalog.products — the home
screen would have rendered empty rails. HomeView now loads it
explicitly. Found by grepping every caller of configStore.init, which is
also how I know HomeView is the only one.
Still on the unpaged list by design: the home rails and the
search/newest lists. Moving those onto paged reads is step 4, kept
separate because it is the risky part — debounce, loading state, and
telling "no results" from "still loading".
api 334/334 across 30 suites; both apps vue-tsc clean. getOrders has a
spec now (3 cases) because its include is a contract both apps depend on
and the method had no test at all. Nothing click-tested — the cart
re-sync and the favourites screen are the two worth a manual pass.
