# Ride Search HTMX Improvements
|
|
|
|
## Implementation Status: ✅ COMPLETED AND VERIFIED
|
|
|
|
### Current Implementation
|
|
|
|
#### 1. Smart Search (Implemented)
|
|
- Split search terms for flexible matching (e.g. "steel dragon" matches "Steel Dragon 2000")
|
|
- Searches across multiple fields:
|
|
- Ride name
|
|
- Park name
|
|
- Description
|
|
- Uses Django Q objects for complex queries
|
|
- Real-time HTMX-powered updates
|
|
|
|
#### 2. Search Suggestions (Implemented)
|
|
- Real-time suggestions with 200ms delay
|
|
- Three types of suggestions:
|
|
- Common matching ride names (with count)
|
|
- Matching parks (with location)
|
|
- Matching categories (with ride count)
|
|
- Styled dropdown with icons and hover states
|
|
- Keyboard navigation support
|
|
|
|
#### 3. Quick Filters (Implemented)
|
|
- Category filters from CATEGORY_CHOICES
|
|
- Operating status filter
|
|
- All filters use HTMX for instant updates
|
|
- Maintains search context when filtering
|
|
- Visual active state on selected filter
|
|
|
|
#### 4. Active Filter Tags (Implemented)
|
|
- Shows currently active filters:
|
|
- Search terms
|
|
- Selected category
|
|
- Operating status
|
|
- One-click removal via HTMX
|
|
- Updates URL for bookmarking/sharing
|
|
|
|
#### 5. Visual Feedback (Implemented)
|
|
- Loading spinner during HTMX requests
|
|
- Clear visual states for filter buttons
|
|
- Real-time feedback on search/filter actions
|
|
- Dark mode compatible styling
|
|
|
|
### Technical Details
|
|
|
|
#### View Implementation
|
|
```python
|
|
def get_queryset(self):
|
|
"""Get filtered rides based on search and filters"""
|
|
queryset = Ride.objects.all().select_related(
|
|
'park',
|
|
'ride_model',
|
|
'ride_model__manufacturer'
|
|
).prefetch_related('photos')
|
|
|
|
# Search term handling
|
|
search = self.request.GET.get('q', '').strip()
|
|
if search:
|
|
# Split search terms for more flexible matching
|
|
search_terms = search.split()
|
|
search_query = Q()
|
|
|
|
for term in search_terms:
|
|
term_query = Q(
|
|
name__icontains=term
|
|
) | Q(
|
|
park__name__icontains=term
|
|
) | Q(
|
|
description__icontains=term
|
|
)
|
|
search_query &= term_query
|
|
|
|
queryset = queryset.filter(search_query)
|
|
|
|
# Category filter
|
|
category = self.request.GET.get('category')
|
|
if category and category != 'all':
|
|
queryset = queryset.filter(category=category)
|
|
|
|
# Operating status filter
|
|
if self.request.GET.get('operating') == 'true':
|
|
queryset = queryset.filter(status='operating')
|
|
|
|
return queryset
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Template Structure
|
|
- `ride_list.html`: Main template with search and filters
|
|
- `search_suggestions.html`: Dropdown suggestion UI
|
|
- `ride_list_results.html`: Results grid (HTMX target)
|
|
|
|
#### Key Fixes Applied
|
|
1. Template Path Resolution
|
|
- CRITICAL FIX: Resolved template inheritance confusion
|
|
- Removed duplicate base.html templates
|
|
- Moved template to correct location: templates/base/base.html
|
|
- All templates now correctly extend "base/base.html"
|
|
- Template loading order matches Django's settings
|
|
|
|
2. URL Resolution
|
|
- Replaced all relative "." URLs with explicit URLs using {% url %}
|
|
- Example: `hx-get="{% url 'rides:global_ride_list' %}"`
|
|
- Prevents conflicts with global search in base template
|
|
|
|
3. HTMX Configuration
|
|
- All HTMX triggers properly configured
|
|
- Fixed grid layout persistence:
|
|
* Removed duplicate grid classes from parent template
|
|
* Grid classes now only in partial template
|
|
* Prevents layout breaking during HTMX updates
|
|
- Proper event delegation for dynamic content
|
|
|
|
### Verification Points
|
|
1. ✅ Search updates in real-time
|
|
2. ✅ Filters work independently and combined
|
|
3. ✅ Suggestions appear as you type
|
|
4. ✅ Loading states show during requests
|
|
5. ✅ Dark mode properly supported
|
|
6. ✅ URL state maintained for sharing
|
|
7. ✅ No conflicts with global search
|
|
8. ✅ All templates resolve correctly
|
|
|
|
### Future Considerations
|
|
1. Consider caching frequent searches
|
|
2. Monitor performance with large datasets
|
|
3. Add analytics for most used filters
|
|
4. Consider adding saved searches feature |
