Matthew Raymer 3d124e13bb Fix HomeView notification migration to use proper constants pattern
- Add NOTIFY_CONTACT_LOADING_ISSUE, NOTIFY_FEED_LOADING_ISSUE, and NOTIFY_CONFIRMATION_ERROR constants to notifications.ts
- Update HomeView.vue to import and use notification constants instead of literal strings
- Update migration templates to document constants vs literal strings pattern
- Add comprehensive documentation for notification constants usage

Ensures consistency with established pattern used in ActivityListItem.vue and other migrated components. Linter passes without errors.

# HomeView.vue Notification Migration
## Migration Type: Notification Helpers Pattern
**Component:** `src/views/HomeView.vue`
**Migration Date:** 2025-07-07
**Status:** ✅ Complete
## Overview
HomeView.vue has been migrated from legacy `this.$notify()` calls to the modern notification helpers pattern using `createNotifyHelpers()`. This standardizes notification patterns across the application and provides better type safety.
## Changes Made
### 1. Added Imports
```typescript
import { createNotifyHelpers, TIMEOUTS } from "@/utils/notify";
import {
NOTIFY_CONTACT_LOADING_ISSUE,
NOTIFY_FEED_LOADING_ISSUE,
NOTIFY_CONFIRMATION_ERROR,
} from "@/constants/notifications";
```
### 2. Added Property Declaration
```typescript
notify!: ReturnType<typeof createNotifyHelpers>;
```
### 3. Added Initialization in created()
```typescript
created() {
this.notify = createNotifyHelpers(this.$notify);
}
```
### 4. Migrated 8 Notification Calls
| Line | Old Pattern | New Pattern | Type |
|------|-------------|-------------|------|
| 550 | `this.$notify({group: "alert", type: "warning", title: "Contact Loading Issue", text: "Some contact information may be unavailable."}, 5000)` | `this.notify.warning(NOTIFY_CONTACT_LOADING_ISSUE.message, TIMEOUTS.LONG)` | Warning |
| 641 | `this.$notify({group: "alert", type: "warning", title: "Feed Loading Issue", text: "Some feed data may be unavailable. Pull to refresh."}, 5000)` | `this.notify.warning(NOTIFY_FEED_LOADING_ISSUE.message, TIMEOUTS.LONG)` | Warning |
| 833 | `this.$notify({group: "alert", type: "danger", title: "Error", text: userMessage \|\| "There was an error loading your data. Please try refreshing the page."}, 5000)` | `this.notify.error(userMessage \|\| "There was an error loading your data. Please try refreshing the page.", TIMEOUTS.LONG)` | Error |
| 1341 | `this.$notify({group: "alert", type: "danger", title: "Feed Error", text: (e as FeedError)?.userMessage \|\| "There was an error retrieving feed data."}, -1)` | `this.notify.error((e as FeedError)?.userMessage \|\| "There was an error retrieving feed data.", TIMEOUTS.MODAL)` | Error |
| 1672 | `this.$notify({group: "alert", type: "toast", title: "FYI", text: message}, 2000)` | `this.notify.toast("FYI", message, TIMEOUTS.SHORT)` | Toast |
| 1795 | `this.$notify({group: "modal", type: "confirm", title: "Confirm", text: "Do you personally confirm that this is true?", onYes: async () => {...}}, -1)` | `this.notify.confirm("Do you personally confirm that this is true?", async () => {...})` | Confirm |
| 1826 | `this.$notify({group: "alert", type: "success", title: "Success", text: "Confirmation submitted."}, 3000)` | `this.notify.confirmationSubmitted()` | Success |
| 1840 | `this.$notify({group: "alert", type: "danger", title: "Error", text: "There was a problem submitting the confirmation."}, 5000)` | `this.notify.error(NOTIFY_CONFIRMATION_ERROR.message, TIMEOUTS.LONG)` | Error |
## Benefits Achieved
### 1. **Consistency**
- Standardized notification patterns across the application
- Consistent timeout values using `TIMEOUTS` constants
### 2. **Type Safety**
- Full TypeScript support for notification helpers
- Compile-time checking of notification parameters
### 3. **Code Reduction**
- Reduced verbose notification object creation by ~70%
- Eliminated repetitive `group`, `type`, `title` boilerplate
### 4. **Maintainability**
- Centralized notification logic in helper functions
- Easy to update notification behavior across all components
## Examples
### Before (Legacy Pattern)
```typescript
this.$notify({
group: "alert",
type: "warning",
title: "Contact Loading Issue",
text: "Some contact information may be unavailable."
}, 5000);
```
### After (Modern Pattern)
```typescript
this.notify.warning(
NOTIFY_CONTACT_LOADING_ISSUE.message,
TIMEOUTS.LONG
);
```
## Validation
**No ESLint errors**
**All `this.$notify()` calls replaced**
**Proper timeout constants used**
**Type safety maintained**
## Notes
- The legacy `$notify` property declaration is kept for compatibility
- Complex notifications (like confirmations) now use dedicated helper methods
- All hardcoded timeout values replaced with semantic `TIMEOUTS` constants
## Pattern for Future Migrations
This migration follows the established pattern used in:
- `src/views/ClaimView.vue`
- `src/views/AccountViewView.vue`
- `src/components/GiftedDialog.vue`
- `src/components/ActivityListItem.vue`
- `src/components/DataExportSection.vue`
- `src/components/ChoiceButtonDialog.vue`
The pattern should be added to all component migrations going forward.
