android-file-save #173

Overview

This PR enhances the data export functionality by adding dual export options (share vs. save to device) and improves Android file handling capabilities. It also includes configuration improvements for console statement whitelisting.

Key Changes

�� New Features

Dual Export Options: Users can now choose between sharing contacts (system share dialog) or saving directly to device storage
Android File Handling: Enhanced platform service with saveToDevice() and saveAs() methods for better Android compatibility
Improved UX: Clear instructions for different export methods with platform-specific guidance

🔧 Platform Service Enhancements

Added saveToDevice() method for direct device storage (Downloads folder on Android, Documents on iOS)
Added saveAs() method for user-chosen file locations using Storage Access Framework
Enhanced error handling and user feedback for export operations

⚙️ Configuration Improvements

Console Statement Whitelisting: Added comprehensive whitelist configuration for intentional console statements
Debug Checker Enhancement: Updated pre-commit hook to respect whitelisted files for console pattern checks
Platform-Specific Logging: Whitelisted platform services and utilities for proper debugging

�� UI/UX Improvements

Visual Distinction: Different button colors for share (green) vs. save (purple) actions
Clear Instructions: Platform-specific guidance for each export method
Better Feedback: Enhanced success/error messages with actionable information

Technical Details

File Whitelist Configuration

# Files whitelisted for console statements
WHITELIST_FILES=(
    "src/services/platforms/WebPlatformService.ts"      # Worker context logging
    "src/services/platforms/CapacitorPlatformService.ts" # Platform-specific logging
    "src/services/platforms/ElectronPlatformService.ts"  # Electron-specific logging
    "src/services/QRScanner/.*"                         # QR Scanner services
    "src/utils/logger.ts"                               # Logger utility itself
    "src/utils/LogCollector.ts"                         # Log collection utilities
    "scripts/.*"                                        # Build and utility scripts
    "test-.*/.*"                                        # Test directories
    ".*\.test\..*"                                      # Test files
    ".*\.spec\..*"                                      # Spec files
)

Platform Service Interface

interface PlatformService {
  // Existing methods...
  saveToDevice(fileName: string, content: string): Promise<void>;
  saveAs(fileName: string, content: string): Promise<void>;
}

Testing

Export functionality works on all platforms (Web, Capacitor, Electron)
Console statement whitelisting properly excludes whitelisted files from debug checks
Platform-specific export methods function correctly
Error handling provides clear user feedback
UI updates display correctly with proper styling

Breaking Changes

None - all changes are additive and backward compatible.

Security Considerations

File content validation before saving
MIME type verification for file operations
Proper permission handling for storage access
Error logging without sensitive data exposure

Documentation

Added comprehensive Android File Saver Plugin implementation guide
Updated git hooks documentation for whitelist configuration
Enhanced component documentation with new methods

Improves Android file handling capabilities
Resolves console statement linting issues for platform services
Enhances user experience for data export operations
