# ImageMethodDialog.vue Pre-Migration Audit

## Component Overview
- **File**: `src/components/ImageMethodDialog.vue`
- **Size**: 750 lines (High Complexity)
- **Purpose**: Image upload and camera capture dialog component
- **Migration Target**: Enhanced Triple Migration Pattern

## Database Operations Analysis

### Phase 1: Database Migration Requirements
**Current databaseUtil Usage:**
1. `databaseUtil.retrieveSettingsForActiveAccount()` - Line 267, 340
   - **Migration**: → `this.$accountSettings()`
   - **Usage**: Get active DID for user authentication
   - **Context**: Component initialization in mounted() lifecycle hook

**Additional Database Operations:**
- `PlatformServiceFactory.getInstance()` - Line 268
- These are already using service patterns but need PlatformServiceMixin integration

### Phase 2: SQL Abstraction Assessment
**Status**: ✅ No raw SQL queries identified
- Component uses high-level database utilities
- No direct SQL statements requiring abstraction

### Phase 3: Notification Migration Analysis
**Current Notification Patterns** (3 total notifications):

1. **Error Notifications** (2 instances):
   - Settings retrieval error (Line 340-350)
   - Image URL retrieval error (Line 420-430)

2. **Info Notifications** (1 instance):
   - General error handling

**Migration Requirements:**
- Extract all notification messages to constants
- Implement helper system for consistent timeouts
- Standardize error message formats

### Phase 4: Template Streamlining Assessment
**Template Complexity**: Medium - Some complex inline expressions

**Candidates for Computed Properties:**
1. **Camera State Management**:
   - Camera state validation logic
   - Camera mode switching logic

2. **File Upload States**:
   - File validation states
   - Upload progress states

3. **Dialog State Management**:
   - Dialog visibility logic
   - Component state validation

4. **Platform Detection**:
   - Platform capability checks
   - Feature availability logic

## Component Feature Analysis

### Core Features
- **Image Upload**: File selection and upload functionality
- **Camera Capture**: Real-time camera preview and capture
- **Image Cropping**: Vue Picture Cropper integration
- **URL Input**: Direct URL input for images
- **Platform Detection**: Capacitor and web platform handling
- **Error Handling**: Comprehensive error scenarios
- **State Management**: Complex state transitions

### External Dependencies
- **Vue Picture Cropper**: Image cropping functionality
- **Capacitor**: Mobile platform detection
- **Axios**: HTTP requests for image uploads
- **MediaDevices API**: Camera access and management
- **File API**: File handling and processing

### Technical Complexity Indicators
- **3 notification calls** requiring standardization
- **Complex state management** with multiple camera states
- **External API integration** with error handling
- **Platform-specific code** for mobile/web
- **File handling** with multiple input methods
- **Camera lifecycle management** with cleanup

## Migration Complexity Assessment

### Complexity Rating: **High**
- **Component Size**: 750 lines
- **Database Operations**: 1 pattern requiring migration
- **Notification Patterns**: 3 calls requiring standardization
- **Template Complexity**: Some candidates for computed properties
- **External Dependencies**: High integration complexity

### Estimated Migration Time
- **Conservative Estimate**: 20-30 minutes
- **Optimistic Estimate**: 15-20 minutes
- **High Estimate**: 30-40 minutes

### Risk Factors
1. **Platform Integration**: Complex platform-specific code
2. **Camera Management**: Real-time camera state handling
3. **File Processing**: Multiple file input methods
4. **External Dependencies**: Vue Picture Cropper integration
5. **State Management**: Complex component state transitions

## Migration Strategy

### Phase 1: Database Migration
1. Add `PlatformServiceMixin` to mixins array
2. Replace `databaseUtil.retrieveSettingsForActiveAccount()` → `this.$accountSettings()`
3. Ensure PlatformServiceFactory integration works with mixin
4. Add comprehensive JSDoc documentation

### Phase 2: SQL Abstraction
- ✅ No raw SQL queries to migrate
- Verify service layer integration works correctly

### Phase 3: Notification Migration
1. Import notification constants from `@/constants/notifications`
2. Implement notification helper system
3. Replace all 3 `$notify` calls with standardized helpers
4. Use appropriate timeout constants for different message types

### Phase 4: Template Streamlining
1. Extract camera state logic to computed properties
2. Create file upload state computed properties
3. Implement dialog state computed properties
4. Simplify platform detection logic
