# IndexedDB Offline-First Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
**Date:** November 4, 2025
|
||||
**Type:** Architecture implementation, Offline-first pattern
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ Complete & Production Ready
|
||||
**Main Goal:** Implement IndexedDB as single source of truth with background sync
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Executive Summary
|
||||
|
||||
Implemented a complete offline-first calendar application architecture using IndexedDB for data persistence, operation queue for sync management, and background worker for automatic synchronization with future backend API.
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Outcomes:**
|
||||
- ✅ IndexedDB as single source of truth
|
||||
- ✅ Offline-first with data persistence across page refreshes
|
||||
- ✅ Repository pattern with clean abstraction
|
||||
- ✅ Background sync with retry logic and network awareness
|
||||
- ✅ Test infrastructure with visual monitoring
|
||||

## Bugs Identified and Fixed
|
||||
|
||||
### Bug #1: Database Isolation Failure
|
||||
|
||||
**Priority:** Critical
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ Fixed
|
||||
**Impact:** Test data mixing with production data
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** Test pages used same IndexedDB database (`CalendarDB`) as production, causing test data to appear in production environment.
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:** Created separate `CalendarDB_Test` database for test environment. Test infrastructure now completely isolated from production.
|
||||
|
||||
**Files Modified:** `test/integrationtesting/test-init.js`
|
||||
|
||||
**Lesson:** Test infrastructure needs complete isolation from production data stores.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Bug #2: Missing Queue Operations
|
||||
|
||||
**Priority:** High
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ Fixed
|
||||
**Impact:** Events not syncing to backend
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** Events stored in IndexedDB with `syncStatus: 'pending'` but not added to sync queue, so they never attempted to sync with backend.
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:** Auto-create queue operations during database seeding for all events with `syncStatus: 'pending'`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Files Modified:** `src/storage/IndexedDBService.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**Lesson:** Data layer and sync layer must be kept consistent.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Bug #3: Network Awareness Missing
|
||||
|
||||
**Priority:** High
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ Fixed
|
||||
**Impact:** Wasted processing, failed sync attempts when offline
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** Sync manager attempted to process queue regardless of online/offline state, making pointless API calls when offline.
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:** Added `navigator.onLine` check before processing queue. Throw error and skip when offline.
|
||||
|
||||
**Files Modified:** `src/workers/SyncManager.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**Lesson:** Respect network state for background operations.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Bug #4: Wrong Initialization Approach
|
||||
|
||||
**Priority:** Medium
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ Fixed
|
||||
**Impact:** Test pages not working
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** Tried loading full calendar bundle in test pages, which required DOM structure that doesn't exist in standalone tests.
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:** Created standalone `test-init.js` with independent service implementations, no DOM dependencies.
|
||||
|
||||
**Files Created:** `test/integrationtesting/test-init.js`
|
||||
|
||||
**Lesson:** Test infrastructure should have minimal dependencies.
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
### Bug #5: Mock Sync Not Functional
|
||||
|
||||
**Priority:** Medium
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ Fixed
|
||||
**Impact:** No way to test sync behavior
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** TestSyncManager's `triggerManualSync()` just returned queue items without actually processing them.
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:** Implemented full mock sync with 80% success rate, retry logic, and error handling - mirrors production behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
**Files Modified:** `test/integrationtesting/test-init.js`
|
||||
|
||||
**Lesson:** Mocks should mirror production behavior for realistic testing.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Bug #6: RegisterInstance Anti-Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
**Priority:** Medium
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ Fixed
|
||||
**Impact:** Poor dependency injection, tight coupling
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** Manually instantiating services and using `registerInstance` instead of proper dependency injection. Container didn't manage lifecycle.
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:** Refactored to `registerType` pattern, let DI container manage all service lifecycles.
|
||||
|
||||
**Files Modified:** `src/index.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**Lesson:** Proper dependency injection (registerType) prevents tight coupling and allows container to manage lifecycles.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Bug #7: Misplaced Initialization Logic
|
||||
|
||||
**Priority:** Low
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ Fixed
|
||||
**Impact:** Violation of single responsibility principle
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** Database seeding logic placed in `index.ts` instead of the service that owns the data.
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:** Moved `seedIfEmpty()` into IndexedDBService class as instance method. Service owns its initialization.
|
||||
|
||||
**Files Modified:** `src/storage/IndexedDBService.ts`, `src/index.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**Lesson:** Services should own their initialization logic.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Bug #8: Manual Service Lifecycle
|
||||
|
||||
**Priority:** Low
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ Fixed
|
||||
**Impact:** Inconsistent service startup
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** Starting SyncManager externally in `index.ts` instead of self-initialization.
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:** Moved `startSync()` to SyncManager constructor for auto-start on instantiation.
|
||||
|
||||
**Files Modified:** `src/workers/SyncManager.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**Lesson:** Auto-start in constructors when appropriate for better encapsulation.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Bug #9: Missing Await on updateEvent()
|
||||
|
||||
**Priority:** Critical
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ Fixed
|
||||
**Impact:** Race condition causing visual glitches
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** UI re-rendering before async `updateEvent()` IndexedDB write completed. Drag-dropped events visually jumped back to original position on first attempt.
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:** Added `await` before all `updateEvent()` calls in drag/resize event handlers. Made handler functions async.
|
||||
|
||||
**Files Modified:**
|
||||
- `src/managers/AllDayManager.ts`
|
||||
- `src/renderers/EventRendererManager.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**Lesson:** Async/await must be consistent through entire call chain. UI updates must wait for data layer completion.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Bug #10: Wrong Async Initialization Location
|
||||
|
||||
**Priority:** Medium
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ Fixed
|
||||
**Impact:** Architecture error
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** Suggested placing async initialization in repository constructor. Constructors cannot be async in TypeScript/JavaScript.
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:** Implemented lazy initialization in `loadEvents()` method where async is proper.
|
||||
|
||||
**Files Modified:** `src/repositories/IndexedDBEventRepository.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**Lesson:** Use lazy initialization pattern for async operations, not constructors.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Bug #11: Database Naming Conflict (Duplicate of #1)
|
||||
|
||||
**Priority:** Critical
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ Fixed
|
||||
**Impact:** Same as Bug #1
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** Same as Bug #1 - CalendarDB used for both test and production.
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:** Same as Bug #1 - Renamed test database to `CalendarDB_Test`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Lesson:** Always ensure test and production environments are isolated.

## Architecture Flow
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
User Action (Local):
|
||||
↓
|
||||
EventManager.createEvent(event, 'local')
|
||||
↓
|
||||
IndexedDBEventRepository
|
||||
├→ Save to IndexedDB (syncStatus: 'pending')
|
||||
└→ Add to OperationQueue
|
||||
↓
|
||||
SyncManager (background, every 5s when online)
|
||||
├→ Process queue FIFO
|
||||
├→ Try API call
|
||||
├→ Success: Remove from queue, mark 'synced'
|
||||
└→ Fail: Increment retryCount, exponential backoff
|
||||
└→ After 5 retries: Mark 'error', remove from queue
|
||||
|
||||
SignalR Update (Remote):
|
||||
↓
|
||||
EventManager.handleRemoteUpdate(event)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
IndexedDBEventRepository.updateEvent(event, 'remote')
|
||||
├→ Save to IndexedDB (syncStatus: 'synced')
|
||||
└→ Skip queue (already synced)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Emit REMOTE_UPDATE_RECEIVED event
|
||||
```

|
||||
## Key Lessons Learned
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Clean Architecture Requires Discipline
|
||||
Every error broke a fundamental principle: database isolation, proper DI, async consistency, or single responsibility.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Async/Await Must Be Consistent
|
||||
Async operations must be awaited through entire call chain. UI updates must wait for data layer completion.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Proper Dependency Injection
|
||||
Use `registerType` pattern - let container manage lifecycles. Avoid `registerInstance` anti-pattern.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Test Infrastructure Needs Isolation
|
||||
Separate databases, separate configurations. Test data should never mix with production.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Services Own Their Logic
|
||||
Initialization, seeding, auto-start - keep logic in the service that owns the domain.
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Network Awareness Matters
|
||||
Respect online/offline state. Don't waste resources on operations that will fail.
|
||||
|
||||
### 7. Lazy Initialization for Async
|
||||
Use lazy initialization pattern for async operations. Constructors cannot be async.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Key Technical Decisions
|
||||
|
||||
1. **IndexedDB as Single Source of Truth** - No in-memory cache, data survives page refresh
|
||||
2. **Offline-First Architecture** - All operations succeed locally, sync in background
|
||||
3. **Repository Pattern** - Clean abstraction between data access and business logic
|
||||
4. **UpdateSource Type** - Distinguishes 'local' (needs sync) vs 'remote' (already synced)
|
||||
5. **Lazy Initialization** - IndexedDB initialized on first data access, not at startup
|
||||
6. **Auto-Start Services** - SyncManager begins background sync on construction
|
||||
7. **Proper DI with registerType** - Container manages all service lifecycles
|
||||
8. **Separate Test Database** - CalendarDB_Test isolated from production
|
||||
9. **Mock Sync Logic** - 80/20 success/failure rate for realistic testing
|
||||
10. **Network Awareness** - Respects online/offline state for sync operations
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Debugging Methodology Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### What Worked Well
|
||||
1. **Incremental Implementation** - Built layer by layer (storage → repository → sync)
|
||||
2. **Test-Driven Discovery** - Test pages revealed issues early
|
||||
3. **Visual Monitoring** - Sync visualization made problems obvious
|
||||
|
||||
### What Didn't Work
|
||||
1. **Initial DI Approach** - Manual instantiation caused tight coupling
|
||||
2. **Missing Async Consistency** - Race conditions from incomplete await chains
|
||||
3. **Shared Database** - Test/production isolation wasn't considered initially
|
||||
