From a1bee99d8e55e0acf88fc288d22c989fdee4444c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Janus C. H. Knudsen" Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2025 20:35:21 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Refactor offline-first architecture with IndexedDB Improves dependency injection and service initialization for IndexedDB-based calendar application Implements lazy initialization for IndexedDB Fixes race conditions in async event handling Adds proper dependency injection with registerType Enhances sync manager and repository pattern Key improvements: - Lazy database initialization - Proper service lifecycle management - Improved network awareness for sync operations - Cleaned up initialization logic in index.ts --- .../indexeddb-offline-first-implementation.md | 196 ++++++++++++++++++ src/index.ts | 41 +--- src/repositories/ApiEventRepository.ts | 5 +- src/repositories/IndexedDBEventRepository.ts | 7 + src/storage/IndexedDBService.ts | 9 + src/workers/SyncManager.ts | 2 + 6 files changed, 226 insertions(+), 34 deletions(-) create mode 100644 coding-sessions/indexeddb-offline-first-implementation.md diff --git a/coding-sessions/indexeddb-offline-first-implementation.md b/coding-sessions/indexeddb-offline-first-implementation.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..fe9f44a --- /dev/null +++ b/coding-sessions/indexeddb-offline-first-implementation.md @@ -0,0 +1,196 @@ +# IndexedDB Offline-First Implementation - Session Summary + +**Date:** 2025-01-05 +**Focus:** Complete offline-first architecture with IndexedDB as single source of truth + +--- + +## Implementation Overview + +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. + +### Core Components Created + +- **Storage Layer:** IndexedDBService, OperationQueue +- **Repository Pattern:** IndexedDBEventRepository, ApiEventRepository +- **Sync Worker:** SyncManager with retry logic and network awareness +- **Test Infrastructure:** Standalone test pages with mock sync + +**Total Code Impact:** ~3,740 lines +- New functionality: 2,850 lines (76%) +- Refactoring/fixes: 890 lines (24%) +- Files created: 10 +- Files modified: 8 + +--- + +## Mistakes & Corrections (11 Total) + +### Database/Storage Errors (3) + +**1.
