# Frontend Phase F1 - Composables Documentation

**Created**: 2025-01-10
**Status**: Complete

## Overview

Two powerful composables that provide type-safe WebSocket communication and game actions. These are **league-agnostic** and will be shared between SBA and PD frontends.

---

## 1. useWebSocket Composable

**File**: `composables/useWebSocket.ts` (420 lines)

**Purpose**: Manages Socket.io connection with full type safety, authentication, and auto-reconnection.

### Features

✅ **Type-Safe Communication**
- TypedSocket wrapper ensures compile-time type checking
- All events typed with ClientToServerEvents/ServerToClientEvents
- No runtime errors from mismatched event names

✅ **JWT Authentication**
- Automatic token injection from auth store
- Token refresh integration
- Auth state watching (auto-connect on login, disconnect on logout)

✅ **Auto-Reconnection**
- Exponential backoff (1s → 2s → 4s → ... → 30s max)
- Configurable max attempts (10 attempts)
- Graceful degradation on connection loss

✅ **Event Listener Management**
- All 15+ server events handled
- Automatic integration with game/ui stores
- Toast notifications for user feedback
- Cleanup on unmount

✅ **Heartbeat**
- Periodic ping every 30 seconds
- Keeps connection alive
- Detects zombie connections

### API

```typescript
const {
  socket,           // TypedSocket | null
  isConnected,      // Ref<boolean>
  isConnecting,     // Ref<boolean>
  connectionError,  // Ref<string | null>
  canConnect,       // ComputedRef<boolean>
  connect,          // () => void
  disconnect,       // () => void
} = useWebSocket()
```

### Usage Example

```typescript
// In a page or component
const { socket, isConnected, connect } = useWebSocket()
const authStore = useAuthStore()

// Auto-connect when authenticated (handled internally)
onMounted(() => {
  if (authStore.isAuthenticated) {
    connect()
  }
})

// Type-safe event listening
watch(socket, (sock) => {
  if (sock) {
    // TypeScript knows the event signature!
    sock.on('play_completed', (play: PlayResult) => {
      console.log('Play:', play.description)
    })

    // Type-safe emit
    sock.emit('roll_dice', { game_id: 'uuid' })
  }
})
```

### Event Handlers Implemented

**Connection Events**:
- ✅ `connect` - Update stores, show success toast
- ✅ `disconnect` - Update stores, schedule reconnection
- ✅ `connect_error` - Show error, retry
- ✅ `connected` - Server confirmation
- ✅ `heartbeat_ack` - Keep-alive response

**Game State Events**:
- ✅ `game_state_update` - Update game store
- ✅ `game_state_sync` - Full state + play history
- ✅ `play_completed` - Add to history, show toast
- ✅ `inning_change` - Show notification
- ✅ `game_ended` - Show final score

**Decision Events**:
- ✅ `decision_required` - Set prompt in store
- ✅ `defensive_decision_submitted` - Clear prompt, show feedback
- ✅ `offensive_decision_submitted` - Clear prompt, show feedback

**Manual Workflow Events**:
- ✅ `dice_rolled` - Store roll data, show message
- ✅ `outcome_accepted` - Clear roll, show feedback

**Substitution Events**:
- ✅ `player_substituted` - Request lineup update
- ✅ `substitution_confirmed` - Show success

**Data Response Events**:
- ✅ `lineup_data` - Update lineup in store
- ✅ `box_score_data` - Available for components

**Error Events**:
- ✅ `error` - Show error toast
- ✅ `outcome_rejected` - Show validation error
- ✅ `substitution_error` - Show substitution error
- ✅ `invalid_action` - Show action error
- ✅ `connection_error` - Store and display

### Reconnection Strategy

```typescript
// Exponential backoff calculation
delay = min(BASE * 2^attempts, MAX)

// Example progression:
// Attempt 1: 1s
// Attempt 2: 2s
// Attempt 3: 4s
// Attempt 4: 8s
// Attempt 5: 16s
// Attempt 6+: 30s (capped)

// Max 10 attempts before giving up
```

### Integration with Stores

**Auth Store**:
- Watches `isAuthenticated` state
- Auto-connects when user logs in
- Auto-disconnects when user logs out
- Injects JWT token into Socket.io auth

**Game Store**:
- Updates on all game state events
- Adds plays to history
- Manages decision prompts
- Stores dice rolls
- Updates lineups

**UI Store**:
- Shows connection toasts
- Displays error messages
- Provides user feedback on actions
- Shows play descriptions

## 2. useGameActions Composable

**File**: `composables/useGameActions.ts` (280 lines)

**Purpose**: Type-safe wrapper for emitting game actions to the server with validation and error handling.

### Features

✅ **Validation**
- Checks socket connection before emit
- Validates game ID exists
- User-friendly error messages

✅ **Type Safety**
- All parameters typed
- Matches backend event expectations
- Compile-time checks

✅ **User Feedback**
- Toast notifications for actions
- Loading states
- Error handling

### API

```typescript
const actions = useGameActions(gameId?) // Optional gameId, uses store if not provided

// Connection
actions.joinGame('player' | 'spectator')
actions.leaveGame()

// Strategic decisions
actions.submitDefensiveDecision(decision: DefensiveDecision)
actions.submitOffensiveDecision(decision: OffensiveDecision)

// Manual workflow
actions.rollDice()
actions.submitManualOutcome(outcome: PlayOutcome, hitLocation?: string)

// Substitutions
actions.requestPinchHitter(playerOutId, playerInId, teamId)
actions.requestDefensiveReplacement(playerOutId, playerInId, position, teamId)
actions.requestPitchingChange(playerOutId, playerInId, teamId)

// Data requests
actions.getLineup(teamId)
actions.getBoxScore()
actions.requestGameState()  // For reconnection recovery
```

### Usage Example

```typescript
// In a game page/component
const gameStore = useGameStore()
const actions = useGameActions()

// Join game on mount
onMounted(() => {
  actions.joinGame('player')
})

// Submit defensive decision
const submitDefense = () => {
  actions.submitDefensiveDecision({
    alignment: 'normal',
    infield_depth: 'double_play',
    outfield_depth: 'normal',
    hold_runners: [3],
  })
}

// Roll dice
const onRollDice = () => {
  if (gameStore.canRollDice) {
    actions.rollDice()
  }
}

// Submit outcome after reading card
const submitOutcome = (outcome: PlayOutcome) => {
  actions.submitManualOutcome(outcome, 'CF')
}

// Leave game on unmount
onUnmounted(() => {
  actions.leaveGame()
})
```

### Validation Pattern

Every action method follows this pattern:

```typescript
function someAction(...params) {
  // 1. Validate connection
  if (!validateConnection()) return

  // 2. Additional validation (e.g., canRollDice)
  if (!someCondition) {
    uiStore.showWarning('Cannot perform action')
    return
  }

  // 3. Log action
  console.log('[GameActions] Performing action')

  // 4. Emit with type safety
  socket.value!.emit('event_name', {
    game_id: currentGameId.value!,
    ...params
  })

  // 5. User feedback
  uiStore.showInfo('Action submitted...', 3000)
}
```

## Integration Example

Complete example showing how composables work together:

```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import { onMounted, onUnmounted } from 'vue'
import { useWebSocket } from '~/composables/useWebSocket'
import { useGameActions } from '~/composables/useGameActions'
import { useGameStore } from '~/store/game'
import { useAuthStore } from '~/store/auth'

const route = useRoute()
const gameId = route.params.id as string

const { isConnected, connect } = useWebSocket()
const actions = useGameActions(gameId)
const gameStore = useGameStore()
const authStore = useAuthStore()

// Connect and join game on mount
onMounted(() => {
  if (authStore.isAuthenticated) {
    connect()
  }

  // Wait for connection, then join
  watch(isConnected, (connected) => {
    if (connected) {
      actions.joinGame('player')
    }
  }, { immediate: true })
})

// Leave game on unmount
onUnmounted(() => {
  actions.leaveGame()
})

// Game actions
const rollDice = () => actions.rollDice()
const submitDefense = (decision) => actions.submitDefensiveDecision(decision)
const pinchHit = () => actions.requestPinchHitter(10, 25, 1)
</script>

<template>
  <div>
    <div v-if="!isConnected">
      Connecting to game server...
    </div>

    <div v-else-if="gameStore.needsDefensiveDecision">
      <!-- Defensive decision UI -->
      <button @click="submitDefense(...)">Submit Defense</button>
    </div>

    <div v-else-if="gameStore.canRollDice">
      <button @click="rollDice">Roll Dice</button>
    </div>

    <div v-else-if="gameStore.canSubmitOutcome">
      <!-- Outcome selection UI -->
    </div>
  </div>
</template>
```

## Why These Composables Are Shared

Both `useWebSocket` and `useGameActions` are **100% league-agnostic**:

✅ **No SBA-specific logic**
- Use generic GameState type
- Work with any PlayOutcome
- Handle any substitution type

✅ **No PD-specific logic**
- No scouting data assumptions
- No advanced ratings logic
- Pure communication layer

✅ **Configuration-driven**
- WS URL from runtime config
- Game ID from parameter or store
- League ID in game state

**Future PD Frontend**: Will use identical composables with zero changes.
