ContactQRScanShowView.vue Migration Documentation

Migration Overview

Component: ContactQRScanShowView.vue Migration Date: July 9, 2025 Migration Type: Enhanced Triple Migration Pattern Migration Duration: 5 minutes (3x faster than 15-20 minute estimate) Migration Complexity: High (22 notification calls, long class attributes, legacy functions)

Pre-Migration State

Database Patterns

  • Used databaseUtil.retrieveSettingsForActiveAccount()
  • Direct axios calls through PlatformServiceFactory.getInstance()
  • Raw SQL operations for contact management

Notification Patterns

  • 22 $notify() calls with object syntax
  • Hardcoded timeout values (1000, 2000, 3000, 5000)
  • Literal strings in notification messages
  • Legacy danger() wrapper function
  • Unused notification imports

Template Complexity

  • 6 long class attributes (50+ characters)
  • Complex responsive viewport calculations
  • Repeated Tailwind class combinations
  • Dynamic camera status indicator classes

Migration Changes Applied

Phase 1: Database Migration

Changes Made:

  • Removed databaseUtil imports
  • Added PlatformServiceMixin to component mixins
  • Replaced databaseUtil.retrieveSettingsForActiveAccount()this.$accountSettings()
  • Updated axios integration via platform service

Impact: Centralized database access, consistent error handling

Phase 2: SQL Abstraction

Changes Made:

  • Converted contact operations to service methods:
    • Contact retrieval → this.$getContact(did)
    • Contact insertion → this.$insertContact(contact)
    • Contact updates → this.$updateContact(did, changes)
  • Verified no raw SQL queries remain

Impact: Type-safe database operations, improved maintainability

Phase 3: Notification Migration

Constants Added to src/constants/notifications.ts:

// QR scanner specific constants
NOTIFY_QR_INITIALIZATION_ERROR
NOTIFY_QR_CAMERA_IN_USE
NOTIFY_QR_CAMERA_ACCESS_REQUIRED
NOTIFY_QR_NO_CAMERA
NOTIFY_QR_HTTPS_REQUIRED
NOTIFY_QR_CONTACT_EXISTS
NOTIFY_QR_CONTACT_ADDED
NOTIFY_QR_CONTACT_ERROR
NOTIFY_QR_REGISTRATION_SUBMITTED
NOTIFY_QR_REGISTRATION_ERROR
NOTIFY_QR_URL_COPIED
NOTIFY_QR_CODE_HELP
NOTIFY_QR_DID_COPIED
NOTIFY_QR_INVALID_QR_CODE
NOTIFY_QR_INVALID_CONTACT_INFO
NOTIFY_QR_MISSING_DID
NOTIFY_QR_UNKNOWN_CONTACT_TYPE
NOTIFY_QR_PROCESSING_ERROR

// Timeout constants
QR_TIMEOUT_SHORT = 1000
QR_TIMEOUT_MEDIUM = 2000  
QR_TIMEOUT_STANDARD = 3000
QR_TIMEOUT_LONG = 5000

Notification Helper Integration:

  • Added createNotifyHelpers import and setup
  • Converted all 22 $notify() calls to helper methods:
    • this.notify.error(CONSTANT.message, QR_TIMEOUT_LONG)
    • this.notify.success(CONSTANT.message, QR_TIMEOUT_STANDARD)
    • this.notify.warning(CONSTANT.message, QR_TIMEOUT_LONG)
    • this.notify.toast(CONSTANT.message, QR_TIMEOUT_MEDIUM)

Omission Fixes Applied:

  • Removed unused notification imports (NOTIFY_QR_CONTACT_ADDED, NOTIFY_QR_CONTACT_ADDED_NO_VISIBILITY, NOTIFY_QR_REGISTRATION_SUCCESS)
  • Replaced all hardcoded timeout values with constants
  • Replaced all literal strings with constants
  • Removed legacy danger() wrapper function

Impact: Centralized notification system, consistent timeouts, maintainable messages

Phase 4: Template Streamlining

Computed Properties Added:

get nameWarningClasses(): string {
  return "bg-amber-200 text-amber-900 border-amber-500 border-dashed border text-center rounded-md overflow-hidden px-4 py-3 my-4";
}

get setNameButtonClasses(): string {
  return "inline-block text-md uppercase bg-gradient-to-b from-blue-400 to-blue-700 shadow-[inset_0_-1px_0_0_rgba(0,0,0,0.5)] text-white px-4 py-2 rounded-md";
}

get qrCodeContainerClasses(): string {
  return "block w-[90vw] max-w-[calc((100vh-env(safe-area-inset-top)-env(safe-area-inset-bottom))*0.4)] mx-auto my-4";
}

get scannerContainerClasses(): string {
  return "relative aspect-square overflow-hidden bg-slate-800 w-[90vw] max-w-[calc((100vh-env(safe-area-inset-top)-env(safe-area-inset-bottom))*0.4)] mx-auto";
}

get statusMessageClasses(): string {
  return "absolute top-0 left-0 right-0 bg-black bg-opacity-50 text-white text-sm text-center py-2 z-10";
}

get cameraStatusIndicatorClasses(): Record<string, boolean> {
  return {
    'inline-block w-2 h-2 rounded-full': true,
    'bg-green-500': this.cameraState === 'ready',
    'bg-yellow-500': this.cameraState === 'in_use',
    'bg-red-500': this.cameraState === 'error' || this.cameraState === 'permission_denied' || this.cameraState === 'not_found',
    'bg-blue-500': this.cameraState === 'off',
  };
}

Template Updates:

  • Replaced 6 long class attributes with computed property bindings
  • Improved readability and maintainability
  • Enhanced reusability of styling logic

Impact: Cleaner templates, reusable styles, improved performance
