Migrated header template from hybrid onclick/@click with manual DOM
manipulation to full reactive Alpine.js with state-driven UI.
Template Changes (templates/header.templ):
- Added x-data state container: { themeDropdownOpen, userMenuOpen }
- Replaced @click="toggleThemeDropdown()" with @click="themeDropdownOpen = !themeDropdownOpen"
- Replaced id/class="hidden" with x-show directives
- Added @click.outside for click-outside-to-close behavior
- Added x-transition for smooth dropdown animations
- Added inline style="display: none;" to prevent FOUC
- Updated theme buttons to use header.changeThemeTo() namespace
- Updated wood paneling buttons to use woodPaneling.change() namespace
- Updated logout to use header.logout() namespace
- Close dropdowns after action: themeDropdownOpen = false
TypeScript Changes (web/src/header.ts):
- Removed toggleThemeDropdown() function (lines 7-18) - no longer needed
- Removed toggleUserMenu() function (lines 20-31) - no longer needed
- Removed manual DOM manipulation from changeThemeTo() (lines 50-54)
- Removed click-outside event listener (lines 64-88) - Alpine handles this
- Updated export to remove deleted functions
- Updated Alpine.global() registration to remove toggle functions
- Result: header.ts reduced from 100 lines to 40 lines (60% reduction)
TypeScript Changes (web/src/woodPaneling.ts):
- Added Alpine import
- Removed manual DOM manipulation from changeWoodPaneling()
- Added Alpine.global("woodPaneling", { change: changeWoodPaneling })
TypeScript Changes (web/src/themeDropdown.ts):
- Removed import of deleted toggleThemeDropdown function
- Removed initializeThemeDropdown() wrapper function
- Removed initializeChangeThemeTo() wrapper function
- Simplified updateThemeIndicators() to focus on wood paneling
- Updated Alpine.global("themeDropdown") registration
Benefits:
- Eliminates 23 manual DOM manipulations from header
- Smooth transitions with x-transition
- Click-outside behavior built-in with @click.outside
- State is local and encapsulated in template
- Cleaner separation of concerns (UI state in template, business logic in TS)
- Easier debugging with Alpine DevTools
Testing:
- Theme dropdown opens with smooth transition
- Theme dropdown closes when clicking outside
- Theme changes correctly when option clicked
- User menu opens with smooth transition
- User menu closes when clicking outside
- Logout works correctly
- Wood paneling changes work
- Both dropdowns show mutual exclusion behavior
Build Verification:
- templ generate: ✓ Success
- npm run build:ts: ✓ Success (167.8kb minified)
This is the reference implementation for Phase 1 of the Alpine.js
integration completion guide. All other modal templates should
follow this same pattern.
