Trigger and Execution UI Enhancements

Date: 2024-01-27
Status: Complete

Summary

This session implemented several UI improvements focused on triggers and executions:

1. Unified pack prefix input styling for rule reference fields
2. Complete ad-hoc trigger creation functionality
3. Trigger enable/disable toggle switch
4. Deletion protection for pack-deployed triggers
5. Status filter for execution history page

Changes Made

1. Unified Pack Prefix Input Styling

Problem

The rule creation form had two separate, distinct fields for the pack reference and local reference, making the input experience disjointed.

Solution

Created a unified input component where the pack prefix appears as part of the input field but is non-editable.

Files Changed

• attune/web/src/index.css - Added .input-with-prefix component class

  .input-with-prefix {
    display: flex with prefix span and input
    prefix: gray background, non-editable
    input: seamlessly connected with shared border
  }
  

• attune/web/src/components/forms/RuleForm.tsx - Updated reference field to use unified styling

  • Pack prefix (core.) appears inside field with gray background
  • Local ref portion is editable
  • Error states apply to both prefix and input
  • No visible gap between components

Visual Result

┌─────────┬───────────────────────────┐
│ core.   │ my_rule_name              │
│ (gray)  │ (editable white)          │
└─────────┴───────────────────────────┘

2. Ad-hoc Trigger Creation

New Components

attune/web/src/components/forms/TriggerForm.tsx (414 lines)

• Complete form for creating/editing triggers
• Label-first pattern: Label field before ref with auto-population
• Unified pack prefix input: Uses .input-with-prefix styling
• Fields:
  • Pack selection (required, disabled when editing)
  • Label and reference with auto-population
  • Description (optional)
  • Parameter schema (JSON, optional)
  • Output schema (JSON, optional)
  • Webhook enabled toggle
  • Enabled/disabled toggle
• JSON validation for schemas
• Full error handling and field validation
• Reference format validation (lowercase, numbers, underscores only)

attune/web/src/pages/triggers/TriggerCreatePage.tsx (45 lines)

• Dedicated page for trigger creation
• Informational content explaining:
  • Ad-hoc trigger use cases
  • Webhook functionality
  • Workflow event types
  • Schema validation benefits
• Breadcrumb navigation back to triggers list

Updated Components

attune/web/src/pages/triggers/TriggersPage.tsx

• Added "Create Trigger" button with Plus icon in header
• Button positioned next to page title for discoverability
• Links to /triggers/create route

attune/web/src/App.tsx

• Added route: /triggers/create → TriggerCreatePage
• Positioned before dynamic :ref route for proper matching

Utility Enhancements

attune/web/src/lib/format-utils.ts

• Enhanced extractLocalRef(fullRef, packRef?)
  • Now accepts optional packRef parameter
  • Explicitly removes pack prefix when provided
  • Falls back to last-dot extraction
• Added combinePackLocalRef(packRef, localRef) alias
  • Consistent naming across form components
  • Wraps existing combineRefs() function

attune/web/tsconfig.app.json

• Added exclusion for test files: src/**/*.test.ts, src/**/*.test.tsx
• Prevents compilation errors from test-only dependencies

3. Trigger Enable/Disable Toggle

Problem

Triggers could only be managed by deletion, with no way to temporarily disable them like rules.

Solution

Implemented toggle switch matching the rules page design.

Files Changed

attune/web/src/hooks/useTriggers.ts

• Added useEnableTrigger() mutation hook
• Added useDisableTrigger() mutation hook
• Both hooks invalidate queries on success for immediate UI updates

attune/web/src/pages/triggers/TriggersPage.tsx

• Added toggle switch to trigger detail header
• Switch appears next to trigger title
• Visual feedback during toggle operation ("Updating...")
