Story 1.4: Recent View & Drag-and-Drop Organization

Status: done

Story

As a user, I want to see my recent diagrams with conversation context and reorder my workspace via drag-and-drop, so that I can quickly resume work and keep my projects organized.

Acceptance Criteria

1. Given I have interacted with multiple diagrams, When I open the "Recent" tab in the sidebar, Then diagrams are sorted by last interaction (most recent first), And each item shows the diagram title, type icon, and the last AI chat message as a preview subtitle (truncated to ~60 chars).

2. Given I am in the Projects tree view, When I drag a diagram from one project to another (or from unorganized to a project), Then the diagram's projectId is updated via API call, And the sidebar tree reflects the new organization immediately with optimistic UI update.

3. Given I am viewing diagrams within a project in the sidebar, When I drag to reorder diagrams, Then the sortOrder is updated for affected diagrams, And the new order persists on page reload.

4. Given I have no diagrams yet, When I view the dashboard, Then I see an empty state with a call-to-action: "Create your first diagram" button and a brief description of what domaingraph does.

Tasks / Subtasks

• Task 1: Add sortOrder column to diagram table and extend PATCH endpoint (AC: #2, #3)
  • 1.1: Add sortOrder: integer().default(0) column to diagram table in packages/db/src/schema/diagram.ts

  • 1.3: Extend updateDiagramBodySchema to accept projectId (string, optional) and sortOrder (integer, optional) in addition to title
  • 1.4: Add bulk reorder endpoint: POST /diagrams/reorder accepting { items: [{ id, sortOrder }] } for batch sortOrder updates
• Task 2: Enhance RecentList with AI preview subtitle (AC: #1)
  • 2.1: Modify RecentList.tsx to display lastAiMessage truncated to ~60 chars as a subtitle below each diagram title
  • 2.2: Add muted text styling for the subtitle line

Dev Notes

DB Schema Change — Add sortOrder to Diagrams

Modify packages/db/src/schema/diagram.ts:

export const diagram = pgTable("diagram", {
  id: text().primaryKey().notNull().$defaultFn(generateId),
  title: text().notNull(),
  type: diagramTypeEnum().notNull(),
  graphData: jsonb().$type<object>().default({}),
  userId: text()
    .references(() => user.id, { onDelete: "cascade" })
    .notNull(),
  projectId: text(),
  sortOrder: integer().default(0),   // ← NEW
  lastAiMessage: text(),
  deletedAt: timestamp(),
  createdAt: timestamp().defaultNow(),
  updatedAt: timestamp().$onUpdate(() => new Date()),
});

After adding the column:

pnpm --filter @turbostarter/db generate
pnpm --filter @turbostarter/db migrate

API — Extend PATCH and Add Reorder Endpoint

Extend updateDiagramBodySchema in packages/api/src/modules/diagram/router.ts:

export const updateDiagramBodySchema = z
  .object({
    title: z.string().min(1).max(255).optional(),
    projectId: z.string().nullable().optional(),
    sortOrder: z.number().int().min(0).optional(),
  })
  .refine(
    (data) => data.title !== undefined || data.projectId !== undefined || data.sortOrder !== undefined,
    { message: "At least one field must be provided" },
  );

Add bulk reorder endpoint:

const reorderDiagramsSchema = z.object({
  items: z.array(z.object({
    id: z.string(),
    sortOrder: z.number().int().min(0),
  })).min(1).max(100),
});

.post(
  "/reorder",
  enforceAuth,
  validate("json", reorderDiagramsSchema),
  async (c) => {
    const { items } = c.req.valid("json");

    // Verify all diagrams belong to the user
    const diagramIds = items.map((i) => i.id);
    const owned = await db.select({ id: diagram.id })
      .from(diagram)
      .where(and(
        inArray(diagram.id, diagramIds),
        eq(diagram.userId, c.var.user.id),
        isNull(diagram.deletedAt),
      ));

    if (owned.length !== diagramIds.length) {
      throw new HttpException(HttpStatusCode.FORBIDDEN, {
        code: "error.forbidden",
        message: "One or more diagrams not found or not owned",
      });
    }

    // Batch update sortOrders
    await db.transaction(async (tx) => {
      for (const item of items) {
        await tx.update(diagram)
          .set({ sortOrder: item.sortOrder })
          .where(eq(diagram.id, item.id));
      }
    });

    return c.json({ data: { success: true } });
  },
)

IMPORTANT: The /reorder route must be registered BEFORE /:id routes to avoid route matching conflicts. Place it right after the GET / and POST / routes.

Update GET / ordering:

.orderBy(asc(diagram.sortOrder), desc(diagram.updatedAt))

Import asc from drizzle-orm alongside existing imports.

Frontend — RecentList Enhancement

Modify apps/web/src/modules/diagram/components/sidebar/RecentList.tsx:

Add lastAiMessage preview below each diagram title:

<button key={d.id} className="flex w-full items-start gap-2 rounded-md px-2 py-1.5 text-sm hover:bg-accent/50 cursor-pointer"
  onClick={() => router.push(pathsConfig.dashboard.user.diagram(d.id))}
>
  <TypeIcon className={`h-4 w-4 shrink-0 mt-0.5 ${config.color}`} />
  <div className="flex-1 min-w-0">
    <span className="block truncate text-left">{d.title}</span>
    {d.lastAiMessage && (
      <span className="block truncate text-xs text-muted-foreground">
        {d.lastAiMessage.length > 60 ? `${d.lastAiMessage.slice(0, 60)}...` : d.lastAiMessage}
      </span>
    )}
  </div>
  <span className="shrink-0 text-xs text-muted-foreground mt-0.5">
    {d.updatedAt ? timeAgo(new Date(d.updatedAt)) : "just now"}
  </span>
</button>

Key changes: items-center → items-start, add subtitle div, add mt-0.5 alignment.

Frontend — @dnd-kit Drag-and-Drop in ProjectTree

Install dependencies:

pnpm --filter web add @dnd-kit/core @dnd-kit/sortable @dnd-kit/utilities

Implementation approach for ProjectTree.tsx:

1. Wrap with DndContext at the ProjectTree level
2. Each expanded project's diagram list gets a SortableContext
3. Each diagram item uses useSortable hook for dragging
4. Projects themselves act as droppable areas using useDroppable
5. onDragEnd handler:
   • If dropped on a different project → PATCH diagram's projectId
   • If reordered within same project → POST to /diagrams/reorder

DnD data structure:

type DragData = {
  type: "diagram";
  diagram: DiagramResponse;
  sourceProjectId: string | null;
};

type DropData = {
  type: "project";
  projectId: string | null;
};

Optimistic updates:

• Use queryClient.setQueryData(["diagrams"], ...) for immediate UI feedback
• Invalidate on mutation success/error
• On error, revert to previous data via onMutate → return previous data → onError → rollback

Visual feedback:

• Drag overlay: semi-transparent card showing diagram title + type icon
• Drop target: project row highlights with ring-2 ring-primary/50 when a diagram is dragged over it
• Sortable items: show insertion line indicator between items

Frontend — Empty State (Already Implemented)

EmptyDiagrams.tsx already exists with:

• Large icon (Icons.LayoutDashboard)
• "No diagrams yet" heading
• Description text about AI-assisted diagramming
• "Create your first diagram" CTA button via CreateDiagramDialog

Verify: DiagramGrid.tsx already checks diagrams.length === 0 and renders <EmptyDiagrams />. No changes needed.

Project Structure Notes

• packages/db/src/schema/diagram.ts — MODIFIED: add sortOrder column
• packages/api/src/modules/diagram/router.ts — MODIFIED: extend PATCH schema, add POST /reorder, change ordering
• apps/web/src/modules/diagram/components/sidebar/RecentList.tsx — MODIFIED: add AI preview subtitle
• apps/web/src/modules/diagram/components/sidebar/ProjectTree.tsx — MODIFIED: add @dnd-kit DnD
• apps/web/src/modules/diagram/components/sidebar/DiagramSidebar.tsx — MINOR: may need DndContext wrapper if shared across tabs
• packages/api/tests/diagram/ — NEW: reorder endpoint tests
• Alignment: All paths match architecture doc patterns. Uses existing module structure.

Anti-Patterns to Avoid

• NEVER use HTML5 native DnD — use @dnd-kit for accessible, cross-browser drag-and-drop with proper keyboard support
• NEVER update sortOrder client-side only — always persist via API to ensure reload consistency
• NEVER allow non-owners to reorder — the /reorder endpoint must verify ownership of ALL diagrams in the batch
• NEVER replace entire diagram list on reorder — use granular sortOrder updates in a transaction
• DO NOT break existing 120 tests — run full test suite after changes
• DO NOT add DnD to the DiagramGrid (main content area) — DnD is only in the sidebar ProjectTree for v1
• DO NOT truncate lastAiMessage in the API — truncation happens client-side for display flexibility
• DO NOT import inArray without adding it — add inArray to the drizzle-orm import in router.ts

Previous Story Intelligence (Story 1.3)

Key learnings to carry forward:

• DropdownMenu preferred over ContextMenu for action menus (more discoverable, accessible)
• Hono RPC client pattern: api.diagrams[":id"].$patch({ param: { id }, json: { ... } })
• toast() from sonner for user feedback on mutations
• React Query invalidation: queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ["diagrams"] })
• PATCH validation: use .refine() to require at least one field
• getOwnedDiagram() helper extracts ownership check (reuse for reorder endpoint's bulk check)
• 120 existing tests pass — don't break them
• DiagramCard has inline rename, kebab menu, delete dialog — don't re-implement
• DiagramResponse type exported from DiagramCard.tsx — reuse for DnD data typing
• diagramTypeConfig and timeAgo exported from DiagramCard.tsx — already reused in RecentList and ProjectTree

M2	MEDIUM	Missing duplicate ID validation in /reorder schema	Added .refine() for unique ID check + test
M3	MEDIUM	Placeholder tests (expect(true)) for reorder ownership	Replaced with real schema validation tests
M4	MEDIUM	N+1 sequential updates in /reorder transaction	Accepted for v1 (100-item cap) — noted for future optimization
L1	LOW	Story File List claimed wrong migration filename	Fixed in File List below
L2	LOW	Missing package.json + lockfile from File List	Fixed in File List below
L3	LOW	Triple-state overProjectId typing	Accepted — functional, cosmetic concern only
