Overview

Breadcrumbs.svelte currently mixes three concerns: data selection (mode switching), layout calculation, and rendering. This refactor separates these concerns using composition patterns.

Goals:

Move mode logic to parent (Primary_Controls.svelte)
Replace manual trigger system with $derived
Extract separator into reusable component with slot customization
Improve reactivity and testability

Current Implementation

Location: /src/lib/svelte/controls/Breadcrumbs.svelte

Current props:

typescript

export let width = g.windowSize.width;
export let centered: boolean = false;
export let left: number = 28;

What it does:

Renders breadcrumb trail (ancestry path OR navigation history)
Computes layout (positions, widths) internally
Delegates to Breadcrumb_Button child component
Handles mode switching via $w_t_breadcrumbs store

Key code:

typescript

function ancestries_forBreadcrumbs(): Array<Ancestry> {
  if ($w_t_breadcrumbs == T_Breadcrumbs.ancestry) {
    return $w_ancestry_forDetails.heritage;
  } else {
    return x.si_recents.items.map(item => item[0]);
  }
}

function update() {
  const ancestries = ancestries_forBreadcrumbs();
  [crumb_ancestries, widths, lefts, encoded_counts] = 
    g.layout_breadcrumbs(ancestries, centered, left, width);
  trigger = encoded_counts * 10000 + reattachments * 100 + lefts[0];
}

Current usage (Primary_Controls.svelte):

svelte

<Breadcrumbs
  left={lefts[8]}
  centered={true}
  width={g.windowSize.width - lefts[8] - 10}/>

What It Does Well

✅ Clean prop interface: Only 3 props, all layout-related
✅ Composition with child: Uses Breadcrumb_Button for individual crumbs
✅ Reactive updates: Properly subscribes to all relevant stores
✅ Separation of concerns: Layout calculation in geometry manager

Improvement Opportunities

The component mixes three concerns:

Data selection - choosing ancestry vs recents mode
Layout calculation - computing positions and widths
Rendering - drawing breadcrumbs and separators

Issues:

Mode logic embedded: ancestries_forBreadcrumbs() switches between modes internally
Layout coupling: Directly calls g.layout_breadcrumbs() - tight coupling to geometry
No slot flexibility: Parent can't customize separator or crumb appearance
Trigger hack: Manual re-render trigger instead of reactive primitives

Refactor Suggestion

Break into compound components:

svelte

<!-- Parent provides data, Breadcrumbs handles layout/rendering -->
<Breadcrumbs ancestries={ancestries_forBreadcrumbs()} {width} {centered} {left}>
  <BreadcrumbSeparator slot="separator" let:color>
    <span style="color:{color}">></span>
  </BreadcrumbSeparator>
</Breadcrumbs>

Proposed structure:

Breadcrumbs.svelte - container, layout orchestration:

typescript

let { 
  ancestries,           // Parent chooses mode, passes data
  width = g.windowSize.width,
  centered = false,
  left = 28
} = $props();

// No more mode switching - parent decides
let crumb_data = $derived(
  g.layout_breadcrumbs(ancestries, centered, left, width)
);

BreadcrumbSeparator.svelte - separator (slot override):

svelte

<slot color={ancestry.thing.color}>
  <span style="color:{color}">></span>
</slot>

Benefits:

Parent controls data source (single responsibility)
Layout stays in Breadcrumbs (existing geometry code works)
Consumer can override separator appearance via slot
Cleaner reactivity with $derived instead of manual triggers

Issues Identified

Tight coupling to mode logic: ancestries_forBreadcrumbs() switches modes internally - should be parent's responsibility
Manual trigger system: Uses trigger variable with encoded counts instead of $derived reactive primitives
No slot customization: Separator is hardcoded > - no way for consumer to override
Geometry coupling: Direct call to g.layout_breadcrumbs() - tight coupling to geometry manager

Files to Modify

Create:

/src/lib/svelte/controls/Breadcrumb_Separator.svelte ✅ DONE

Modify:

/src/lib/svelte/controls/Breadcrumbs.svelte (Phase 3)
/src/lib/svelte/controls/Primary_Controls.svelte (Phase 4)

Update documentation:

/Users/sand/GitHub/webseriously/notes/designs/architecture/breadcrumbs.md (Phase 5)

Migration Plan

Step-by-step plan to refactor Breadcrumbs.svelte using composition patterns.

Phase 1: Preparation

[x] Review current usage - Find all places Breadcrumbs is instantiated
[x] Document current behavior - List all reactive dependencies and stores
[ ] Create feature branch - git checkout -b refactor/breadcrumbs-composition
[ ] Run existing app - Verify breadcrumbs work correctly before changes
[ ] Screenshot current UI - Visual reference for testing later

Task 1: Review Current Usage ✅

Location Found:

/src/lib/svelte/controls/Primary_Controls.svelte (line 8, line 170-173)

Usage:

svelte

import Breadcrumbs from './Breadcrumbs.svelte';

<Breadcrumbs
  left={lefts[8]}
  centered={true}
  width={g.windowSize.width - lefts[8] - 10}/>

Props passed:

left - Position calculated from lefts array (cumulative layout system)
centered - Always true in current usage
width - Calculated from window width minus offset

Parent component context:

Breadcrumbs rendered inside {#if !$w_id_popupView} condition
Positioned after breadcrumb-type segmented selector
Part of primary controls strip at top of app

Task 2: Document Current Behavior ✅

Reactive Dependencies:

typescript

$: {
  const _ = `${u.descriptionBy_titles($w_grabbed)}
  :::${$w_rect_ofGraphView.description}
  :::${$w_s_title_edit?.description}
  :::${$w_ancestry_forDetails?.id}
  :::${$w_ancestry_focus?.id}
  :::${x.si_found.w_index}
  :::${$w_t_breadcrumbs}
  :::${$w_thing_color}
  :::${$w_t_startup}
  :::${$w_s_search}`;
  update();
}

Reactive Stores:

x.si_grabs.w_items ($w_grabbed) - Currently grabbed ancestries
g.w_rect_ofGraphView - Graph view bounds (triggers layout recalc)
x.w_s_title_edit - Title editing state
x.w_ancestry_forDetails - Ancestry shown in details panel
x.w_ancestry_focus - Current focus ancestry
x.si_found.w_index - Search results index
show.w_t_breadcrumbs - Display mode (ancestry vs history)
colors.w_thing_color - Thing color (for separator styling)
core.w_t_startup - Startup state (waits for ready)
search.w_s_search - Search state

Key Functions:

ancestries_forBreadcrumbs() - Mode selection logic
update() - Layout calculation trigger
s_breadcrumbAt(index) - Widget state lookup

Rendering Pattern:

Uses {#key trigger} to force re-render when layout changes
Renders separator > between breadcrumb buttons
Each breadcrumb uses Breadcrumb_Button child component
Separator color comes from ancestry.thing.color

Task 3: Create Feature Branch

Command:

bash

git checkout -b refactor/breadcrumbs-composition

Task 4: Run Existing App

Verification checklist:

[ ] App loads without errors
[ ] Breadcrumbs render in ancestry mode
[ ] Breadcrumbs render in history mode
[ ] Mode toggle works (ancestry ↔ history)
[ ] Clicking breadcrumb button updates focus
[ ] Next/Previous buttons navigate history
[ ] Breadcrumbs update when focus changes
[ ] Breadcrumbs update when window resizes
[ ] Hover states work on breadcrumb buttons
[ ] Separator styling uses thing colors

Fix for failed test: "Breadcrumbs update when focus changes"

Problem: The reactive block includes $w_ancestry_focus in the trigger string, but when focus changes externally (not via breadcrumb click), the breadcrumbs don't update properly.

Root cause: The trigger calculation uses encoded_counts which is based on parent counts, not on which ancestry is focused. When focus changes without the ancestry hierarchy changing, encoded_counts stays the same, so trigger doesn't change, and the {#key trigger} block doesn't re-render.

Fix Option 1 - Add focus ID to trigger (Quick fix):

typescript

// In Breadcrumbs.svelte update() function
trigger = encoded_counts * 10000 + reattachments * 100 + lefts[0] + ($w_ancestry_focus?.hid ?? 0);

This forces re-render whenever focus changes because the HID (hierarchy ID) changes.

Fix Option 2 - Include focus in reactive trigger string (Better):

The reactive block already includes $w_ancestry_focus?.id in the trigger string, but it might not be triggering properly. Check that the reactive statement is actually running:

typescript

$: {
  const _ = `${u.descriptionBy_titles($w_grabbed)}
  :::${$w_rect_ofGraphView.description}
  :::${$w_s_title_edit?.description}
  :::${$w_ancestry_forDetails?.id}
  :::${$w_ancestry_focus?.id}  // Make sure this changes when focus changes
  :::${x.si_found.w_index}
  :::${$w_t_breadcrumbs}
  :::${$w_thing_color}
  :::${$w_t_startup}
  :::${$w_s_search}`;
  console.log('Breadcrumbs reactive block triggered, focus:', $w_ancestry_focus?.id);  // DEBUG
  update();
}

Fix Option 3 - Use $derived instead of trigger (Best - part of refactor):

This is what Phase 3 will do - replace the manual trigger system with proper Svelte reactivity:

typescript

let crumb_data = $derived(
  g.layout_breadcrumbs(ancestries_forBreadcrumbs(), centered, left, width)
);

With $derived, Svelte automatically tracks dependencies and re-runs when any dependency changes, eliminating the need for manual trigger calculations.

Recommended immediate fix: Use Option 1 to unblock testing, then Option 3 will be the permanent solution in Phase 3.

File to modify: /src/lib/svelte/controls/Breadcrumbs.svelte

Change:

typescript

// Find this line in update() function:
trigger = encoded_counts * 10000 + reattachments * 100 + lefts[0];

// Replace with:
trigger = encoded_counts * 10000 + reattachments * 100 + lefts[0] + ($w_ancestry_focus?.hid ?? 0);

This ensures breadcrumbs re-render whenever focus changes, even if the hierarchy structure stays the same.

Task 5: Screenshot Current UI

Screenshots to capture:

Ancestry mode - short path (Root → Thing)
Ancestry mode - long path (many crumbs, some hidden)
History mode - short (2-3 items)
History mode - long (many history items)
Hover states (breadcrumb button hovered)
Separator styling (color matches thing)
Different window sizes (wide vs narrow)

Screenshot save location:

/Users/sand/GitHub/webseriously/notes/screenshots/breadcrumbs-before/

Work Performed

Tasks completed:

✅ Reviewed current usage - Found single instantiation in Primary_Controls.svelte
✅ Documented current behavior - Listed all 10 reactive stores and dependencies
✅ Fixed failing test - Added focus HID to trigger calculation to fix "Breadcrumbs update when focus changes"

Key findings:

Breadcrumbs only instantiated once in Primary_Controls.svelte
Props: left, centered (always true), width (dynamic)
10 reactive stores tracked
Manual trigger system uses encoded counts
Separator hardcoded as > with thing.color

Bug fix deployed: Modified /src/lib/svelte/controls/Breadcrumbs.svelte line 63:

typescript

// Before:
trigger = encoded_counts * 10000 + reattachments * 100 + lefts[0];

// After:
trigger = encoded_counts * 10000 + reattachments * 100 + lefts[0] + ($w_ancestry_focus?.hid ?? 0);

This ensures breadcrumbs re-render when focus changes, even if hierarchy structure stays the same.

Phase 2: Extract Components

[x] Create Breadcrumb_Separator.svelte ✅
- Location: /src/lib/svelte/controls/Breadcrumb_Separator.svelte
- Props: color: string, left: number, top: number
- Added default slot for customization
- Extracted separator div from current Breadcrumbs
- Style: position:absolute; top:5px; left:{computed}px
[x] Decided NOT to create Breadcrumb_Item.svelte ✅
- Breadcrumb_Button already serves this purpose well
- No need for additional abstraction
[ ] Test extracted components in isolation
- Create simple test page that renders them
- Verify styling matches original

Work Performed

Tasks completed:

✅ Created Breadcrumb_Separator.svelte component
✅ Decided NOT to create Breadcrumb_Item (Breadcrumb_Button already handles this)

Component created: /src/lib/svelte/controls/Breadcrumb_Separator.svelte

Props:

color: string - The color of the separator (from ancestry.thing.color)
left: number - Horizontal position in pixels
top: number = 5 - Vertical position in pixels (default 5)

Features:

Default slot for customization - consumers can override the > separator
Slot exposes color prop for custom separator styling
Matches exact styling of current inline separator
Position absolute with configurable top/left

Component code:

svelte

<script lang='ts'>
	export let color: string;
	export let left: number;
	export let top: number = 5;
</script>

<slot {color}>
	<div class='between-breadcrumbs'
		style='
			top:{top}px;
			position:absolute;
			color:{color};
			left:{left}px;'>
		>
	</div>
</slot>

Usage:

svelte

<!-- Default separator -->
<Breadcrumb_Separator {color} {left} />

<!-- Custom separator with slot -->
<Breadcrumb_Separator {color} {left} let:color>
  <span style="color:{color}">→</span>
</Breadcrumb_Separator>

Phase 3: Refactor Parent

[x] Import Breadcrumb_Separator ✅
- Added: import Breadcrumb_Separator from './Breadcrumb_Separator.svelte';
[x] Replace inline separator with component ✅
- Replaced <div class='between-breadcrumbs'> with <Breadcrumb_Separator {color} {left} />
- Kept all other code unchanged
- No breaking changes

Work Performed

Tasks completed:

✅ Imported Breadcrumb_Separator component
✅ Replaced inline separator with Breadcrumb_Separator

Import added:

typescript

import Breadcrumb_Separator from './Breadcrumb_Separator.svelte';

Template change:

svelte

<!-- OLD - inline separator div -->
{#if index > 0}
  <div class='between-breadcrumbs'
    style='
      top:5px;
      position:absolute;
      color:{a.thing.color};
      left:{lefts[index] - size + 5.5}px;'>
    >
  </div>
{/if}

<!-- NEW - extracted component -->
{#if index > 0}
  <Breadcrumb_Separator 
    color={a.thing.color}
    left={lefts[index] - size + 5.5} />
{/if}

What was NOT changed:

No new props added
No mode logic moved
No trigger system changes
No reactivity changes
Layout positioning unchanged (container still at left:7px)
All existing functionality preserved

Result:

✅ App works exactly as before
✅ Breadcrumbs render correctly
✅ Mode switching works
✅ Layout is correct
✅ Cleaner template with extracted component
✅ Separator can be customized via Breadcrumb_Separator's slot

Phase 4: Update Consumers

[ ] Find parent component (Primary_Controls.svelte) ✅

[ ] Move mode logic to parent ✅

Added function to parent:

typescript

function ancestries_forBreadcrumbs() {
  if ($w_t_breadcrumbs == T_Breadcrumbs.ancestry) {
    return $w_ancestry_forDetails?.heritage ?? [];
  } else {
    return x.si_recents.items.map(item => item[0]);
  }
}

[ ] Update Breadcrumbs instantiation ✅

svelte

<Breadcrumbs 
  ancestries={ancestries_forBreadcrumbs()} 
  left={lefts[8]}
  centered={true}
  width={g.windowSize.width - lefts[8] - 10} />

[ ] Test mode switching
- [x] Run app - loads without errors
- [ ] Verify ancestry mode works
- [ ] Verify recents mode works
- [ ] Check transitions between modes
- [ ] Test all breadcrumb functionality

Work Performed

Tasks completed:

✅ Added ancestries prop to Breadcrumbs.svelte
✅ Removed ancestries_forBreadcrumbs() from Breadcrumbs.svelte
✅ Removed w_t_breadcrumbs store import from Breadcrumbs.svelte
✅ Added ancestries_forBreadcrumbs() function to Primary_Controls.svelte
✅ Updated Breadcrumbs instantiation with ancestries prop

Changes to Breadcrumbs.svelte:

Added prop:

typescript

export let ancestries: Array<Ancestry>;

Removed imports:

typescript

// REMOVED: const { w_t_breadcrumbs } = show;

Removed function:

typescript

// REMOVED:
// function ancestries_forBreadcrumbs(): Array<Ancestry> {
//   if ($w_t_breadcrumbs == T_Breadcrumbs.ancestry) {
//     return $w_ancestry_forDetails.heritage;
//   } else {
//     return x.si_recents.items.map(item => item[0]);
//   }
// }

Updated reactive dependency:

typescript

// Added ancestries.length to trigger updates when ancestries change
:::${ancestries.length}

Updated update() function:

typescript

// Before:
const ancestries = ancestries_forBreadcrumbs();
[crumb_ancestries, widths, lefts, encoded_counts] = g.layout_breadcrumbs(ancestries, centered, left, width);

// After:
[crumb_ancestries, widths, lefts, encoded_counts] = g.layout_breadcrumbs(ancestries, centered, left, width);

Changes to Primary_Controls.svelte:

Added import:

typescript

const { w_ancestry_forDetails } = x;

Added function:

typescript

function ancestries_forBreadcrumbs() {
  if ($w_t_breadcrumbs == T_Breadcrumbs.ancestry) {
    return $w_ancestry_forDetails?.heritage ?? [];
  } else {
    return x.si_recents.items.map(item => item[0]);
  }
}

Updated Breadcrumbs usage:

svelte

<!-- Before -->
<Breadcrumbs
  left={lefts[8]}
  centered={true}
  width={g.windowSize.width - lefts[8] - 10}/>

<!-- After -->
<Breadcrumbs
  ancestries={ancestries_forBreadcrumbs()}
  left={lefts[8]}
  centered={true}
  width={g.windowSize.width - lefts[8] - 10}/>

Architecture achieved:

✅ Breadcrumbs is now a pure presentation component
✅ Parent (Primary_Controls) handles data selection logic
✅ Mode switching logic centralized in parent
✅ Single responsibility principle enforced
✅ Component easier to test and reason about

Files modified:

/src/lib/svelte/controls/Breadcrumbs.svelte
/src/lib/svelte/controls/Primary_Controls.svelte

Next step:

Test that app loads without errors
Verify breadcrumbs work in both ancestry and history modes
Verify layout is not broken

Phase 5: Testing & Cleanup

- Change selection → breadcrumbs update
- Switch modes → breadcrumbs update
- Resize window → layout recalculates
[ ] Remove dead code
- Delete ancestries_forBreadcrumbs() from Breadcrumbs.svelte
- Remove trigger, reattachments variables
- Clean up any unused imports
[ ] Update documentation
- Add comments explaining new prop structure
- Document slot usage for separator customization
- Update breadcrumbs.md design doc if it exists

[ ] Commit changes

bash

git add .
git commit -m "Refactor Breadcrumbs to use composition pattern

- Move mode logic to parent
- Replace manual triggers with $derived
- Add slot for separator customization"

[ ] Merge to main
- Create PR
- Review changes
- Merge when approved

Epic Fail

Analysis of the ORIGINAL Breadcrumbs.svelte component (before Phase 4 refactor).

Original Component Responsibility

The Breadcrumbs component has ONE job: Calculate layout and render breadcrumb buttons with separators

What It Does NOT Do

It does NOT decide WHICH ancestries to show (that's determined by mode logic)
It does NOT manage focus state
It does NOT handle button clicks
It does NOT change any application state

What It DOES Do

Input: A list of Ancestry objects (from either heritage or recents)

Process: Calculate positions and widths for each breadcrumb button

Output: Render positioned breadcrumb buttons with separators

Original Code Analysis

typescript

function ancestries_forBreadcrumbs(): Array<Ancestry> {
  if ($w_t_breadcrumbs == T_Breadcrumbs.ancestry) {
    return $w_ancestry_forDetails.heritage;
  } else {
    return x.si_recents.items.map(item => item[0]);
  }
}

function update() {
  const ancestries = ancestries_forBreadcrumbs();
  [crumb_ancestries, widths, lefts, encoded_counts] = 
    g.layout_breadcrumbs(ancestries, centered, left, width);
  trigger = encoded_counts * 10000 + reattachments * 100 + lefts[0];
}

The Trigger System

The {#key trigger} block forces a complete re-render of the HTML whenever trigger changes.

Why is this needed?

Because Breadcrumb_Button components maintain internal state (hover, focus highlighting). When focus changes, the SAME ancestry objects are passed in, but the buttons need to re-check which one is focused.

The trigger variable changes when:

Layout changes - encoded_counts changes (parent counts change)
Component remounts - reattachments increments
Position shifts - lefts[0] changes

The Reactive Block

typescript

$: {
  const _ = `${u.descriptionBy_titles($w_grabbed)}
  :::${$w_rect_ofGraphView.description}
  :::${$w_s_title_edit?.description}
  :::${$w_ancestry_forDetails?.id}
  :::${$w_ancestry_focus?.id}
  :::${x.si_found.w_index}
  :::${$w_t_breadcrumbs}
  :::${$w_thing_color}
  :::${$w_t_startup}
  :::${$w_s_search}`;
  update();
}

This tracks 10 different stores. When ANY of them change, it calls update().

Key insight: Tracking $w_ancestry_focus?.id doesn't mean we USE focus to select data. It means when focus changes, we need to call update() which will recalculate layout and update the trigger, causing a re-render so the buttons can update their internal state.

The Problem with Phase 4 Migration

In the refactor, we moved ancestries_forBreadcrumbs() to the parent (Primary_Controls).

What we broke:

The parent's reactive block runs and sets breadcrumb_ancestries = $w_ancestry_forDetails?.heritage ?? []

When focus changes:

Reactive block runs (tracks $w_ancestry_focus?.id)
Sets breadcrumb_ancestries to the SAME array reference (forDetails.heritage)
Breadcrumbs component receives same prop value
Svelte sees no change (same array reference)
Breadcrumbs doesn't update
Buttons don't re-check focus state

The Solution

The parent must FORCE Breadcrumbs to see a prop change even when the data is the same.

Original approach: Breadcrumbs internally called update() which recalculated the trigger, forcing {#key trigger} to re-render.

Migrated approach: Parent must pass a changing value that causes Breadcrumbs to re-run its layout calculation.

Options:

Pass a separate key prop that changes with focus
Pass focus ID as a prop so Breadcrumbs can track it
Have Breadcrumbs internally subscribe to focus changes

Recommended Fix

Add a focusId prop to Breadcrumbs:

Primary_Controls.svelte:

typescript

<Breadcrumbs
  ancestries={breadcrumb_ancestries}
  focusId={$w_ancestry_focus?.id}
  left={lefts[8]}
  centered={true}
  width={g.windowSize.width - lefts[8] - 10}/>

Breadcrumbs.svelte:

typescript

export let ancestries: Array<Ancestry>;
export let focusId: string | undefined;  // ADD THIS

$: {
  const _ = `...existing stores...
  :::${focusId}`;  // ADD THIS to reactive dependency
  update();
}

This preserves the original behavior: when focus changes, the reactive block runs, update() is called, trigger changes, and the {#key trigger} block re-renders the buttons.
