# LibraryView Component - Issues & Recommendations **Component:** `/home/setup/navidocs/client/src/views/LibraryView.vue` **Analysis Date:** 2025-10-23 **Version:** 1.0 --- ## Executive Summary The LibraryView component is well-structured and follows Vue 3 best practices, but several issues were identified during test documentation creation. This document categorizes issues by severity and provides actionable recommendations. --- ## Critical Issues (Must Fix) ### 1. No API Integration **Current State:** - All data is hardcoded in the component template - No API calls on component mount - No dynamic data loading **Impact:** - Component shows static data only - Cannot scale to production use - No real-time updates **Recommendation:** ```vue ``` --- ### 2. Missing Accessibility Attributes **Current State:** - Category cards use `@click` but are `
` elements - No ARIA labels on icon-only buttons - No keyboard navigation support for category cards - No screen reader announcements for role changes **Impact:** - Fails WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance - Unusable for keyboard-only users - Poor screen reader experience **Recommendation:** **A. Convert category cards to semantic buttons:** ```vue ``` **B. Add ARIA to role switcher:** ```vue
``` **C. Add live region for role changes:** ```vue
{{ currentRole === 'owner' ? 'Owner view selected' : '' }} {{ currentRole === 'captain' ? 'Captain view selected' : '' }} {{ currentRole === 'manager' ? 'Manager view selected' : '' }} {{ currentRole === 'crew' ? 'Crew view selected' : '' }}
``` **D. Add keyboard support:** ```vue
``` --- ### 3. Incomplete Router Integration **Current State:** - `navigateToCategory()` only logs to console - No actual route navigation implemented - Category detail pages don't exist **Impact:** - Users cannot drill into categories - Click events lead nowhere - Poor user experience **Recommendation:** **A. Update router configuration:** ```javascript // /home/setup/navidocs/client/src/router.js { path: '/library/category/:categoryId', name: 'library-category', component: () => import('./views/LibraryCategoryView.vue') } ``` **B. Update navigation function:** ```vue ``` **C. Create LibraryCategoryView.vue:** Create a new view at `/home/setup/navidocs/client/src/views/LibraryCategoryView.vue` to display filtered documents. --- ## Major Issues (Should Fix) ### 4. No State Persistence **Current State:** - Role selection resets on page refresh - No localStorage or session storage - User preferences lost **Impact:** - Poor UX - users must reselect role every visit - No continuity between sessions **Recommendation:** **A. Add localStorage persistence:** ```vue ``` **B. Add Pinia store (better approach):** ```javascript // /home/setup/navidocs/client/src/stores/library.js import { defineStore } from 'pinia' export const useLibraryStore = defineStore('library', { state: () => ({ currentRole: localStorage.getItem('libraryRole') || 'owner', pinnedDocuments: JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('pinnedDocuments') || '[]') }), actions: { setRole(role) { this.currentRole = role localStorage.setItem('libraryRole', role) }, togglePin(docId) { const index = this.pinnedDocuments.indexOf(docId) if (index > -1) { this.pinnedDocuments.splice(index, 1) } else { this.pinnedDocuments.push(docId) } localStorage.setItem('pinnedDocuments', JSON.stringify(this.pinnedDocuments)) } } }) ``` --- ### 5. Pin Functionality Not Implemented **Current State:** - "Pin Document" button does nothing - Bookmark icons not interactive - No visual feedback on click **Impact:** - Misleading UI - buttons appear functional but aren't - Incomplete feature **Recommendation:** **A. Add pin handler:** ```vue ``` **B. Update template:** ```vue ``` --- ### 6. No Loading States **Current State:** - No loading indicators - No skeleton screens - Instant content or nothing **Impact:** - Confusing during data fetch - Appears broken on slow connections **Recommendation:** **A. Add loading state:** ```vue ``` **B. Use existing skeleton styles:** The `main.css` already has `.skeleton` class with shimmer animation. --- ### 7. No Error Handling **Current State:** - No error states - No error messages - No retry mechanism **Impact:** - Silent failures confuse users - No way to recover from errors **Recommendation:** ```vue ``` --- ## Minor Issues (Nice to Have) ### 8. Role Switcher Doesn't Filter Content **Current State:** - Changing role updates state but shows same content - No role-based filtering **Impact:** - Feature appears broken - No value to switching roles **Recommendation:** ```vue ``` --- ### 9. Static Document Counts **Current State:** - "29 documents" is hardcoded - Category counts are static **Impact:** - Inaccurate as data changes - Requires code updates for new docs **Recommendation:** ```vue ``` --- ### 10. Missing Document Click Handlers **Current State:** - Essential document cards not clickable - No way to open/view documents **Impact:** - Users can't access documents - Cards look interactive but aren't **Recommendation:** ```vue
``` --- ### 11. No Search Functionality **Current State:** - No search bar in library view - Users must scroll to find documents **Impact:** - Poor UX for large libraries - Difficult to find specific docs **Recommendation:** Add search bar to header: ```vue

Essential Documents

``` --- ### 12. No Pagination or Virtual Scrolling **Current State:** - Renders all items at once - No pagination **Impact:** - Performance issues with large datasets (>100 documents) - Long scroll on large libraries **Recommendation:** For now, acceptable since only 29 documents. Consider adding pagination when document count exceeds 50. --- ## Code Quality Issues ### 13. Missing Props Validation **Recommendation:** If component accepts props in the future, add PropTypes: ```vue ``` --- ### 14. No TypeScript Support **Recommendation:** Consider migrating to TypeScript for better type safety: ```typescript // types.ts export interface Document { id: string title: string description: string type: string status: 'active' | 'expired' | 'pending' fileType: string expiryDate?: string isPinned: boolean } export interface Category { id: string name: string description: string documentCount: number color: string icon: string } ``` --- ### 15. Large Component File **Current State:** - 533 lines in single file - Could be split into smaller components **Recommendation:** Extract subcomponents: - `EssentialDocumentCard.vue` - `CategoryCard.vue` - `ActivityItem.vue` - `RoleSwitcher.vue` Example: ```vue ``` --- ## Security Issues ### 16. No Input Sanitization **Current State:** - If API returns HTML in titles/descriptions, could lead to XSS **Recommendation:** Vue 3 automatically escapes text content, so this is mostly safe. However, if using `v-html` in future: ```vue
{{ sanitize(userContent) }}
``` --- ### 17. No Authentication Check **Current State:** - No auth guard on route - Anyone can access library view **Recommendation:** Add route meta: ```javascript // router.js { path: '/library', name: 'library', component: () => import('./views/LibraryView.vue'), meta: { requiresAuth: true } } ``` Component-level check: ```vue ``` --- ## Performance Issues ### 18. No Memoization **Current State:** - Role filtering logic would run on every render **Recommendation:** ```vue ``` --- ### 19. No Image Optimization **Current State:** - Using inline SVGs (good) - No image lazy loading if photos are added **Recommendation:** If adding raster images: ```vue ``` --- ## Testing Gaps ### 20. No Unit Tests **Recommendation:** Create unit tests with Vitest: ```javascript // LibraryView.test.js import { mount } from '@vue/test-utils' import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest' import LibraryView from '@/views/LibraryView.vue' describe('LibraryView', () => { it('renders with default role', () => { const wrapper = mount(LibraryView) expect(wrapper.find('.text-xl').text()).toBe('Document Library') }) it('changes role on button click', async () => { const wrapper = mount(LibraryView) await wrapper.findAll('button')[1].trigger('click') // Click Captain expect(wrapper.vm.currentRole).toBe('captain') }) it('navigates on category click', async () => { const wrapper = mount(LibraryView) const spy = vi.spyOn(wrapper.vm.router, 'push') await wrapper.find('.category-card').trigger('click') expect(spy).toHaveBeenCalled() }) }) ``` --- ### 21. No E2E Tests **Recommendation:** Create Playwright tests: ```javascript // tests/e2e/library.spec.js import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test' test.describe('LibraryView', () => { test('loads and displays all sections', async ({ page }) => { await page.goto('http://localhost:5173/library') await expect(page.locator('h1')).toContainText('Document Library') await expect(page.locator('text=Essential Documents')).toBeVisible() await expect(page.locator('text=Browse by Category')).toBeVisible() await expect(page.locator('.essential-doc-card')).toHaveCount(3) await expect(page.locator('.category-card')).toHaveCount(8) }) test('role switcher works', async ({ page }) => { await page.goto('http://localhost:5173/library') await page.click('text=Captain') await expect(page.locator('button:has-text("Captain")')).toHaveCSS( 'background-image', /linear-gradient/ ) }) test('category navigation works', async ({ page }) => { await page.goto('http://localhost:5173/library') await page.click('text=Legal & Compliance') // Verify navigation or console log }) }) ``` --- ## Documentation Gaps ### 22. Missing Component Documentation **Recommendation:** Add JSDoc comments: ```vue ``` --- ## Priority Matrix | Priority | Issue # | Issue Name | Effort | Impact | |----------|---------|------------|--------|--------| | 🔴 P0 | 1 | No API Integration | High | Critical | | 🔴 P0 | 2 | Missing Accessibility | Medium | Critical | | 🔴 P0 | 3 | Incomplete Router Integration | Medium | Critical | | 🟡 P1 | 4 | No State Persistence | Low | High | | 🟡 P1 | 5 | Pin Functionality Not Implemented | Medium | High | | 🟡 P1 | 6 | No Loading States | Low | High | | 🟡 P1 | 7 | No Error Handling | Low | High | | 🟢 P2 | 8 | Role Switcher Doesn't Filter | Medium | Medium | | 🟢 P2 | 10 | Missing Document Click Handlers | Low | Medium | | 🟢 P2 | 20 | No Unit Tests | High | Medium | | 🟢 P2 | 21 | No E2E Tests | Medium | Medium | | 🔵 P3 | 9 | Static Document Counts | Low | Low | | 🔵 P3 | 11 | No Search Functionality | High | Low | | 🔵 P3 | 15 | Large Component File | Medium | Low | --- ## Next Actions ### Immediate (Week 1) 1.
