From 77c1951bf19d9d145c089c828d440c071f193cd3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lorenzo Donzelli Diaz Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2025 22:40:30 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] fix(navigator): resolve drag-drop reordering snap-back and validation issues Fixes #443, #408, #160 This commit addresses multiple critical issues with manual reordering in the space navigator that caused items to snap back to their original positions or behave unpredictably during drag-and-drop operations. **Issues Fixed:** 1. **Sortable Logic Clarity** (dragPath.ts line 89-94) - Added explicit comments explaining sortable determination - Fixed edge case where nextItem could be undefined - Made the boolean logic more readable and maintainable 2. **Type Coercion Bug** (dropPath.ts lines 43-48, 67-70) - Removed dangerous 'boolean && number' pattern that caused false to coerce to 0 - Added explicit validation to reject drops on non-sortable spaces - Users now receive clear feedback when dropping in unsorted folders - Prevents silent failures and unexpected behavior 3. **Optimistic UI Updates** (SpaceTreeView.tsx lines 196-252, 614-657) - Implemented optimistic rendering to update UI immediately on drop - Prevents the 'snap-back' visual glitch users experienced - Added rollback mechanism if database write fails - Preserved previous tree state for calculations to avoid race conditions - Significantly improves perceived performance and user experience **Technical Details:** - The snap-back occurred because the UI reset immediately while the async database write was queued, leaving users looking at stale data - Type coercion bug allowed invalid index values (false = 0) to be passed to reordering functions, causing items to jump to unexpected positions - Optimistic updates now provide instant visual feedback while the actual database operations complete in the background **Testing Notes:** - Manual drag-drop reordering should now feel instant and responsive - Dropping into non-manually-sorted folders shows appropriate error message - Failed reorders will rollback to previous state with notification - Multiple rapid reorders are handled more gracefully --- .../Navigator/SpaceTree/SpaceTreeView.tsx | 96 ++++++++++++++++++- src/core/utils/dnd/dragPath.ts | 7 +- src/core/utils/dnd/dropPath.ts | 23 +++-- 3 files changed, 117 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/core/react/components/Navigator/SpaceTree/SpaceTreeView.tsx b/src/core/react/components/Navigator/SpaceTree/SpaceTreeView.tsx index 9f7136e..e2cc956 100644 --- a/src/core/react/components/Navigator/SpaceTree/SpaceTreeView.tsx +++ b/src/core/react/components/Navigator/SpaceTree/SpaceTreeView.tsx @@ -189,6 +189,68 @@ const treeForRoot = ( return tree; }; +/** + * Apply optimistic reordering to the tree for immediate UI feedback + * This mirrors the server-side reordering logic but runs synchronously + */ +const applyOptimisticReorder = ( + tree: TreeNode[], + dragPaths: string[], + activeNode: TreeNode | null, + overId: string, + projected: DragProjection +): TreeNode[] | null => { + if (!activeNode || !projected || dragPaths.length === 0) { + return null; + } + + try { + // Find the indices of dragged items and target + const overIndex = tree.findIndex(({ id }) => id === overId); + if (overIndex === -1) return null; + + const overItem = tree[overIndex]; + + // Calculate target rank based on projection + const parentId = projected.insert ?
