-A modern, no-build web application using Lit web components with Zustand state management.
+A minimal, no-build web app kit using only Lit-based web components via importmaps.
-## Architecture Overview
-* **Lit-based web components** - Standards-based, framework-agnostic UI
-* **No-build tooling** - Import maps only, no bundler required
-* **Zustand state management** - Lightweight, vanilla JS store
-* **StoreController** - Reactive controller that bridges Zustand and Lit
+## Quick Start Example
-## Project Structure
-
-```
-components/ -> standard lit components, including top-level "app-root"
-controllers/ -> lit reactive controllers (such as Zustand<->Lit bridge)
-store/ -> defines specific accessor sets
-index.html -> entry point with inline importmap and app-root
-README.md
-```
-
-## Data Flow Diagram
-
-```mermaid
-sequenceDiagram
- participant User
- participant LitComponent
- participant StoreController
- participant ZustandStore
-
- User->>LitComponent: Click button
- LitComponent->>ZustandStore: Call action (e.g., addItem)
- ZustandStore->>ZustandStore: Update state
- ZustandStore->>StoreController: Notify subscribers
- StoreController->>LitComponent: requestUpdate()
- LitComponent->>LitComponent: Re-render
- LitComponent->>User: Show updated UI
-```
-
-## Example
-
-### 1. Define Store (Zustand Vanilla)
-
-```javascript
-// store/index.js
-import { createStore } from 'zustand/vanilla'
-
-export const store = createStore((set, get) => ({
- count: 0,
- increment: () => set(s => ({ count: s.count + 1 })),
- decrement: () => set(s => ({ count: s.count - 1 })),
-}))
-```
-
-### 2. Create StoreController (Bridge)
-
-```javascript
-// controllers/store.js
-export class StoreController {
- constructor(host, store, selector) {
- this.host = host
- this.store = store
- this.selector = selector
- host.addController(this)
- }
-
- hostConnected() {
- this._unsub = this.store.subscribe((state) => {
- const next = this.selector(state)
- if (next !== this.value) {
- this.value = next
- this.host.requestUpdate()
- }
- })
- this.value = this.selector(this.store.getState())
- }
-
- hostDisconnected() {
- this._unsub?.()
- }
-}
-```

+import "./my-counter.js";
class AppRoot extends LitElement {
+ ...
render() {
- return html`
-
- `;
+ return html``;
}
}
```
+### 3. Define Data Flows
+
+#### Parent-to-Child (Props)
+
+```javascript
+// Parent passes data down
+html``
+
+// Child receives via properties
+static properties = {
+ items: { type: Array }
+}
+```

+#### Child-to-Parent (Events)

+ bubbles: true,
+ composed: true
+}))

+```

## Benefits Over TSX
1. **No build step** - Edit and refresh, instant feedback
+1. **Minimal dependencies** - Just Lit, nothing else
+
1. **Smaller bundle** - No framework runtime, just standards
1. **Better encapsulation** - Shadow DOM, scoped styles

1. **Future-proof** - Built on web standards

-
-1. **Type-safe** - Can add JSDoc or TypeScript without build step
+1. **Easy to learn** - Simple mental model for state, with natural evolution into Zustand/IndexedDB or similar extensions

-# Tasks & Issues
-
-## 1. Critical Issues
-
-- [x] **1.1 Fix missing `del` import in store/index.js** ✅ COMPLETE
- - Line 3 now imports `get, set, del` from idb-keyval
- - Used in removeItem function on line 13
- - No more ReferenceError
-
-- [x] **1.2 Fix hydration flag initialization** ✅ COMPLETE
- - Implemented Option A: Initialize `_hydrated: true` by default
- - Removed problematic `onRehydrateStorage` callback
- - App now loads immediately without hanging on "loading..."
- - Persistence happens in background automatically
-
-- [x] **1.3 Consolidate duplicate storage implementation** ✅ COMPLETE
- - Single storage implementation in `store/index.js`
- - Uses idb-keyval directly with createJSONStorage
- - Clean, simple approach without extra middleware files
-
-## 2. Architectural Improvements
-
-- [x] **2.1 Add error handling** ✅ COMPLETE
- - Added try/catch blocks around all IndexedDB operations (getItem, setItem, removeItem)
- - Implemented fallback: returns null on getItem error, silently fails on setItem/removeItem
- - Added error state to store with auto-clear after 3 seconds
- - Added validation in addItem and removeItem actions
- - Created error-toast component with slide-in animation
- - Toast shows error messages and allows manual dismissal
-
-- [x] **2.2 Add partialize option to persist middleware** ✅ COMPLETE
- - Added partialize to exclude `_hydrated` flag from persistence
- - Only persists: user, items, and route
- - Prevents unnecessary data in IndexedDB
-
-- [ ] **2.3 Add basic CSS reset to index.html**
- - No base styles, margins, or font settings currently
- - Consider adding minimal reset or normalize.css
-
-- [ ] **2.4 Add loading states for async operations**
- - No loading indicators for add/remove item operations
- - Consider adding optimistic updates
-
-## 3. Nice to Have
-
-- [ ] **3.1 Add TypeScript types** (optional)
- - JSDoc comments for better IDE support
- - Or migrate to .ts files with no-build setup
-
-- [ ] **3.2 Add cross-tab synchronization**
- - README mentions optional `sync.js` middleware
- - Implement BroadcastChannel for cross-tab state sync
-
-- [ ] **3.3 Add route history management**
- - Integrate with browser history API
- - Support back/forward navigation
-
-- [ ] **3.4 Add unit tests**
- - Test store actions and selectors
- - Test component rendering
- - Test persistence layer
-
-- [ ] **3.5 Add Storybook support**
- - Introduces parallel build (vite internally) but core app remains no-build
- - Storybook includes raw/native web component support
- - Ensure individual components and layouts are properly organized, documented, demonstrated, and tested

+# Tasks & Issues
+
+## 1. Critical Issues
+
+- [ ] **1.1 Fix missing `del` import in store/index.js**
+ - Line 3 imports `get, set` from idb-keyval but `del` is used on line 13
+ - Add `del` to the import statement
+ - This will cause a ReferenceError when removeItem is called
+
+- [ ] **1.2 Fix hydration flag initialization**
+ - The `onRehydrateStorage` callback uses `store.setState()` before `store` is fully initialized
+ - Creates a circular reference issue preventing app from loading
+ - **Options:**
+ - A) Initialize `_hydrated: true` by default (simplest)
+ - B) Use Zustand's persist middleware built-in hydration detection
+ - C) Move hydration callback outside store creation
+
+- [ ] **1.3 Consolidate duplicate storage implementation**
+ - Storage is defined in both `store/index.js` AND `store/middleware/persistence.js`
+ - The middleware file exports `idbStorage` but it's not being used
+ - **Decision needed:** Use one or the other, not both
+
+## 2. Architectural Improvements
+
+- [ ] **2.1 Add error handling**
+ - Add try/catch blocks around IndexedDB operations
+ - Implement fallback if IndexedDB fails or is unavailable
+ - Add user feedback for errors (toast notifications?)
+
+- [ ] **2.2 Add partialize option to persist middleware**
+ - Currently saves ALL state including `_hydrated` flag and `route`
+ - Should use `partialize: (state) => ({ user: state.user, items: state.items })`
+ - Prevents unnecessary data in IndexedDB
