POC-4: Comprehensive Component - Results

Status: ✅ PASS Date: 2025-11-08 Implementation Plan: diff-view-monaco-poc4-comprehensive-implementation-plan.md

Success Criteria

✅ Passed Requirements

File Loading (from POC-3):

  • ✅ Loads content from valid file paths
  • ✅ Path normalization works correctly
  • ✅ Missing files display user-friendly errors
  • ✅ Invalid prop combinations display errors

Theme Synchronization (from POC-2.2):

  • ✅ Initial theme matches VitePress
  • ✅ Theme updates when VitePress toggle clicked
  • ✅ Theme updates are instant (<100ms)
  • ✅ Multiple rapid toggles don't cause errors

Integration:

  • ✅ File loading + theme sync work together
  • ✅ No conflicts between features
  • ✅ Console logs show both features active
  • ✅ Production build succeeds
  • ✅ All 6 Playwright tests pass

Test Results

Playwright Tests:

text
✓ POC-4: Comprehensive (6 tests, ~15s)
  ✓ loads files and displays diff correctly
  ✓ synchronizes theme with VitePress toggle
  ✓ handles multiple rapid theme toggles
  ✓ displays error for missing file
  ✓ displays error for invalid props
  ✓ validates console logs for theme and file loading

Build Validation:

  • Clean build: ✅ Success
  • Production build time: ~24s
  • Preview server: ✅ Started successfully
  • Production tests: ✅ All pass

Component Architecture

File: docs/.vitepress/components/MonacoDiff.vue

Key Features:

  • ✅ VitePress content loader for file loading (works with srcExclude)
  • ✅ VitePress theme detection via useData().isDark
  • ✅ Reactive theme synchronization via watch(monacoTheme)
  • ✅ Props: oldFile, newFile, oldContent, newContent, language
  • ✅ Comprehensive error handling and validation
  • ✅ Reactive updates for content, language, and theme changes

Integration Success:

  • File loading uses VitePress data loader pattern
  • Theme sync uses VitePress useData() hook
  • Both features operate independently without conflicts
  • Single component handles all use cases

Manual Verification Checklist

  • ✅ Test Case 1: Files load, theme switches instantly
  • ✅ Test Case 2: Props-based content, theme switches work
  • ✅ Test Case 3: Missing file shows error
  • ✅ Test Case 4: Invalid props shows error
  • ✅ No console errors during normal operation
  • ✅ No console errors during theme toggling
  • ✅ Production build works correctly

Conclusion

POC-4 successfully validates that file loading and theme synchronization can be combined in a single production-ready component without conflicts. The VitePress content loader pattern and theme detection integrate seamlessly.

Overall POC Status: ✅ PASS - Production-ready comprehensive component validated.

Next Steps: Deploy MonacoDiff.vue as the canonical component for blog posts and documentation.
