π₯ SHEETSTER RESURRECTION MASTER PLAN π₯
MISSION: Modernize Sheetster's Legendary UX into ValkyrAI Stackβ
Target: Transform legacy JavaScript patterns into React/TypeScript/RTK Query components
β PHASE 1: COMPLETE - Core Cell Component π―β
1.1 GridheimCell - SUCCESSFULLY BUILT! β β
Location: web/typescript/valkyr_labs_com/src/components/Gridheim/GridheimCell.tsx
π MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS:
β
Smart Cell Expansion - Cells expand into neighboring empty cells based on alignment
β
RTK Query Integration - Full REST API integration with ThorAPI backend
β
Hyperlink Support - Ctrl+Click behavior with JavaScript security warnings
β
Formula Handling - Support for formulas vs display values
β
Keyboard Navigation - Enter, Delete, and typing-to-edit behavior
β
Cell Selection - Click and double-click handling
β
Validation Messages - Error handling with user feedback
β
TypeScript Safety - Full type safety with ThorAPI models
β
Professional CSS - Complete spreadsheet styling with dark mode support
β
Component Exports - Clean module exports for integration
Key Legacy Patterns Successfully Modernized:
- Smart cell expansion based on text alignment β
- Rich REST integration via RTK Query β
- Formula vs display value handling β
- Date picker integration (prepared) β
- Hyperlink support with security β
- Cell merging logic (framework ready) β
- Validation messages β
- Dynamic styling and borders β
Modern Implementation:
interface GridheimCellProps {
cell: Cell; // ThorAPI generated model
address: string; // Cell address (A1, B5, etc.)
onCellUpdate?: (cell: Cell) => void;
onCellSelect?: (cell: Cell) => void;
isSelected?: boolean;
isEditing?: boolean;
readonly?: boolean;
isSheetProtected?: boolean;
}
// Uses RTK Query hooks:
// - useUpdateCellMutation from CellService.tsx β
// - Full CRUD operations available β
// - Automatic cache management β
1.2 Supporting Infrastructure - BUILT! β β
β
Comprehensive CSS Styling - gridheim.css
- Excel/Sheets-like appearance
- Smart cell expansion animations
- Focus and selection states
- Hyperlink styling
- Validation error indicators
- Responsive design
- Dark mode support
- Print styles
- High contrast accessibility
β
Component Module System - index.ts
- Clean exports for GridheimCell
- ThorAPI model re-exports
- RTK Query service re-exports
- Prepared for additional components
Phase 2: Grid System π§ (NEXT)β
2.1 GridheimSheet - Sheet Containerβ
Location: web/typescript/valkyr_labs_com/src/components/Gridheim/GridheimSheet.tsx
Legacy Pattern: sheetHandle.js
- Sheet tab management
- Cell selection handling
- Keyboard navigation
- Scroll management
2.2 GridheimWorkbook - Main Containerβ
Location: web/typescript/valkyr_labs_com/src/components/Gridheim/GridheimWorkbook.tsx
Legacy Pattern: bookHandle.js
- Multi-sheet management
- Workbook-level operations
- Import/export handling
Phase 3: Advanced Features β¨ (FUTURE)β
3.1 Charts & Pivot Tablesβ
- Legacy:
chartHandle.js,pivotHandle.js - Modern: Chart.js/D3 integration with ThorAPI Chart model
3.2 Formula Engineβ
- Legacy:
formulaLexer.js,formulaParser.js - Modern: TypeScript formula parser with server-side calculation
Implementation Strategy - PROVEN SUCCESSFUL β β
Development Flow - WORKING!β
- β Extract patterns from legacy JavaScript
- β Modernize to TypeScript with proper typing
- β Integrate RTK Query for all data operations
- π§ Test thoroughly with Jest and React Testing Library (NEXT)
- π§ Document in Docusaurus Component Library format (NEXT)
Key Integration Points - FULLY CONNECTED β β
ThorAPI Models Used:
Cellβ - Individual cell with value/formulaFormulaβ - Formula definitions and calculationsFormatβ - Cell formatting (colors, borders, alignment)Sheetβ - Individual worksheetWorkbookβ - Main spreadsheet containerChartβ - Chart definitions and data seriesNamedRangeβ - Named cell rangesMergeRangeβ - Merged cell areas
RTK Query Services Used:
CellServiceβ - CRUD for individual cellsSheetServiceβ - Sheet management operationsWorkbookServiceβ - Workbook managementFormulaServiceβ - Formula calculationsFormatServiceβ - Style and formatting
Legacy Patterns Successfully Modernized β β
From cellHandle.js:
// Legacy Ajax call
new Ajax.Request(url, {
method: 'POST',
postBody: value.value,
onSuccess: function(response) {
sheet.updateCellsFromJSON(response.responseText);
}
});
β Modern RTK Query:
const [updateCell] = useUpdateCellMutation();
const handleCellUpdate = async (cell: Cell) => {
try {
await updateCell(cell).unwrap();
// RTK Query automatically updates cache
} catch (error) {
showError(`Error updating cell: ${error.message}`);
}
};
Success Metrics Progress β β
