Ride Search Architecture Decision

Date: 2025-06-24
Status: Planned
Context: Extending search functionality from parks to rides

Decision

Implement ride search functionality following the established BaseAutocomplete pattern with these key architectural decisions:

1. Pattern Consistency

Extend BaseAutocomplete: Use same authentication-first approach as park search
Mirror Structure: RideAutocomplete + RideSearchForm following ParkAutocomplete pattern
HTMX Integration: Same frontend interaction patterns for consistency

2. Relationship Handling

Park Context: Rides belong to parks via ForeignKey, search results must show both
Query Optimization: Use select_related('park') for efficient database queries
Result Display: Show "Ride Name - Park Name" format in autocomplete results

3. Database Strategy

Indexes: Add database indexes on Ride.name and Ride.park_id
Query Limits: Limit autocomplete to 10 results for performance
Filtering: Support filtering by park, thrill level, duration

4. Frontend Architecture

Component Reuse: Leverage existing search CSS and JavaScript patterns
HTMX Endpoints: /search/rides/autocomplete/ and /search/rides/results/
AlpineJS State: Manage selection state and form interactions

5. Testing Strategy

Unit Tests: RideAutocomplete, RideSearchForm, and filter logic
Integration Tests: HTMX responses and authentication requirements
Performance Tests: Large dataset handling and query optimization

Rationale

This approach ensures:

Consistency: Users get familiar interaction patterns
Performance: Optimized queries and result limiting
Maintainability: Follows established codebase patterns
Scalability: Database indexes and query optimization

Implementation Files

Core Components

search/mixins.py - RideAutocomplete class
