Ride Search Template Creation - 2025-06-25

Context

Created the missing ride search form template that was identified as a remaining task in the active context. The RideSearchView was expecting a template at search/templates/search/ride_search.html for non-HTMX requests.

Implementation

Template Created: search/templates/search/ride_search.html

Key Features:

  • Full page template extending base/base.html
  • HTMX integration with proper attributes:
    • hx-get pointing to ride search URL
    • hx-target for results container
    • hx-trigger with 300ms delay for responsive search
    • hx-indicator for loading state
  • Responsive design with Tailwind CSS classes
  • Search form using the RideSearchForm from context
  • Results container that includes the existing ride_search_results.html partial
  • JavaScript enhancement for clearing results when input is empty
  • Loading indicator with spinner animation

Template Structure:

  1. Header Section: Title and description
  2. Search Form:
    • Form with HTMX attributes
    • Autocomplete input field with proper styling
    • Submit button with search icon
    • Loading indicator
  3. Results Section: Container for HTMX-loaded results
  4. JavaScript Enhancement: Clear results on empty input

Integration Points

With RideSearchView:

  • Template name matches view's get_template_names() expectation
  • Uses search_form from view context
  • HTMX requests target the same view for partial updates

With Existing Components:

  • Includes search/partials/ride_search_results.html for results display
  • Follows same styling patterns as other search templates
  • Uses established HTMX patterns from park search

Technical Decisions

HTMX Configuration:

  • 300ms delay prevents excessive API calls during typing
  • Targets specific container for seamless updates
  • Includes loading indicator for better UX

Styling Approach:

  • Consistent with existing ThrillWiki design system
  • Dark mode support with proper color classes
  • Responsive layout with proper spacing

JavaScript Enhancement:

  • Minimal JavaScript for clearing results
  • Enhances UX without breaking core functionality
  • Follows progressive enhancement principles

Testing Status

  • Template created and ready for testing
  • Server restarted to ensure proper loading
  • Next step: Manual HTMX integration testing

Files Modified

  • search/templates/search/ride_search.html (created)
  • memory-bank/activeContext.md (updated progress)

Next Steps

  1. Test HTMX integration manually once server is running
  2. Verify autocomplete functionality works properly
  3. Test responsive design and loading states
  4. Validate search results display correctly
