Michael Freno 8c64318b9a FRE-587 Phase 5: Add offline persistence + UI components
Phase 5 Polish & Optimization - Part 1:

Offline Persistence:
- Create IDBPersistence class for IndexedDB storage
- Auto-save with configurable intervals (default 5s)
- Offline mode with update queuing
- Automatic flush when back online

UI Components:
- ChangeHighlighting component - visual change indicators
  - Color-coded by user
  - Auto-fade after 30s
  - Toggle visibility
- VersionHistoryPanel component - snapshot management
  - Chronological snapshot list
  - Relative timestamps
  - One-click restore
  - Manual snapshot creation

FRE-587 Phase 5: Polish & Optimization - Implementation Summary

Phase 5 Implementation Status (In Progress)

Completed Components

1. IndexedDB Persistence (src/lib/collaboration/idb-persistence.ts)

Offline-first storage layer for Yjs documents with automatic sync.

Features:

  • Automatic document persistence to IndexedDB
  • Offline mode with update queuing
  • Auto-save with configurable intervals (default: 5s)
  • Manual save/load operations
  • Update flushing when back online
  • Last saved timestamp tracking

Interface:

interface IDBPersistence {
  save(docName: string): Promise<void>;
  load(docName: string): Promise<Uint8Array | null>;
  loadAndApply(docName: string): Promise<boolean>;
  startAutoSave(docName: string): void;
  stopAutoSave(): void;
  queueUpdate(update: Uint8Array): void;
  flushUpdates(docName: string): Promise<void>;
  setOnline(online: boolean): void;
  getPendingUpdateCount(): number;
}

Usage:

import { createIDBPersistence } from './lib/collaboration/idb-persistence';

const persistence = createIDBPersistence(doc, {
  dbName: 'frenocorp-yjs',
  autoSave: true,
  saveIntervalMs: 5000,
});

// Auto-save every 5 seconds
persistence.startAutoSave('project-123');

// Load previous state
await persistence.loadAndApply('project-123');

// Handle offline/online
window.addEventListener('offline', () => persistence.setOnline(false));
window.addEventListener('online', () => {
  persistence.setOnline(true);
  persistence.flushUpdates('project-123');
});

2. Change Highlighting Component (src/components/collaboration/change-highlighting.tsx)

Visual indicators for recent changes in the editor.

Features:

  • Color-coded highlights by user
  • Auto-fade after configurable duration (default: 30s)
  • Toggle highlight visibility
  • Shows insert/delete/format changes
  • Accept/reject status filtering
  • Change count display

Props:

interface ChangeHighlightingProps {
  doc: Doc;
  changeTracker: ChangeTracker;
  userId: string;
  showAccepted?: boolean;
  showRejected?: boolean;
  highlightDurationMs?: number;
}

Usage:

<ChangeHighlighting
  doc={doc}
  changeTracker={changeTracker}
  userId="user-123"
  showAccepted={true}
  highlightDurationMs={30000}
/>

3. Version History Panel (src/components/collaboration/version-history-panel.tsx)

Sidebar panel for browsing and restoring document snapshots.

Features:

  • Chronological snapshot list (newest first)
  • Relative timestamps ("5m ago", "2h ago")
  • Snapshot descriptions
  • Author attribution
  • Change count per snapshot
  • Preview before restore
  • One-click restore
  • Manual snapshot creation
  • Auto-refresh

Props:

interface VersionHistoryPanelProps {
  changeTracker: ChangeTracker;
  onRestore?: (snapshot: Snapshot) => void;
  onClose?: () => void;
}

Usage:

<VersionHistoryPanel
  changeTracker={changeTracker}
  onRestore={(snapshot) => {
    console.log('Restored to:', snapshot.description);
  }}
/>

🔧 Integration Example

import { Doc } from 'yjs';
import { ChangeTracker } from './lib/collaboration/change-tracker';
import { createIDBPersistence } from './lib/collaboration/idb-persistence';
import { ChangeHighlighting } from './components/collaboration/change-highlighting';
import { VersionHistoryPanel } from './components/collaboration/version-history-panel';

// Initialize document
const doc = new Doc();

// Initialize change tracker
const changeTracker = new ChangeTracker(doc, 'user-1', 'John Doe');

// Initialize persistence
const persistence = createIDBPersistence(doc, {
  dbName: 'frenocorp-yjs',
  autoSave: true,
});

// Load previous state
await persistence.loadAndApply('project-123');
persistence.startAutoSave('project-123');

// Render components
function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      <ChangeHighlighting
        doc={doc}
        changeTracker={changeTracker}
        userId="user-1"
      />
      <VersionHistoryPanel
        changeTracker={changeTracker}
        onRestore={() => persistence.save('project-123')}
      />
      {/* Editor component */}
    </div>
  );
}

🎯 Next Steps

  1. WebSocket Message Batching - Batch multiple updates into single messages
  2. Performance Benchmarks - Measure sync latency, memory usage
  3. Integration Tests - End-to-end collaboration flow tests
  4. Conflict Detection Alerts - Toast notifications for conflicts
  5. Bandwidth Throttling - Dev tool for testing poor connections

⚠️ Known Limitations

  1. IndexedDB browser support - Works in all modern browsers, but requires polyfill for very old browsers
  2. Storage quota - IndexedDB has per-origin quotas (typically 50MB-2GB depending on browser)
  3. Snapshot size - Large documents may hit storage limits with many snapshots
  4. Change highlight performance - Many simultaneous highlights may impact rendering (mitigated by auto-fade)

📈 Performance Targets

Metric Target Current
Sync latency <100ms TBD
Offline save <50ms TBD
Highlight render <16ms (60fps) TBD
Snapshot restore <500ms TBD
Memory usage <50MB TBD

Status: Phase 5 in progress (3/8 tasks complete) Next: WebSocket message batching optimization
