Implemented by Jules

Implements a mobile-like stack-based navigation system to address issue #445.

Key changes:

  1. useNavigationHistory hook (app/hooks/use-navigation-history.ts):

    • Manages a custom navigation stack (historyStack).
    • Provides push and pop methods to control navigation.
    • push adds a new entry to the stack and navigates using react-router, storing the historyStack in the browser's location.state.
    • pop removes the top entry, navigates to the previous entry, and updates the historyStack in location.state.
    • A useEffect hook syncs the internal historyStack with location.state.historyStack, enabling correct behavior for browser back/forward buttons and manual URL changes.
  2. Updated Navigation Components (app/lib/transitions/view-transition.tsx):

    • LinkWithViewTransition now uses useNavigationHistory().push to navigate, ensuring new routes are added to the custom stack.
    • useNavigateWithViewTransition now returns a function that uses useNavigationHistory().push.
    • View transition logic (useViewTransitionEffect) remains compatible, reading transition details from location.state.
  3. Custom Back Button Handling (app/hooks/use-custom-back-button.ts):

    • Introduces useCustomBackButton hook, which is initialized in app/root.tsx.
    • Provides a goBack() function that calls useNavigationHistory().pop(). This can be used by UI elements (e.g., header back arrows).
    • Relies on useNavigationHistory's useEffect to handle actual browser popstate events (back/forward buttons).

This new system ensures that navigation, especially using the back button (browser or in-app), behaves like a stack, as is common in mobile applications. View transitions are preserved. The scenario described in issue #445 (Home -> Settings -> Appearance, close Appearance, then back button leads to Home) should now work correctly if closing a page is implemented using the pop() mechanism.

Implements a mobile-like stack-based navigation system to address issue #445.

Key changes:

1.  **`useNavigationHistory` hook (`app/hooks/use-navigation-history.ts`):**
    *   Manages a custom navigation stack (`historyStack`).
    *   Provides `push` and `pop` methods to control navigation.
    *   `push` adds a new entry to the stack and navigates using `react-router`, storing the `historyStack` in the browser's `location.state`.
    *   `pop` removes the top entry, navigates to the previous entry, and updates the `historyStack` in `location.state`.
    *   A `useEffect` hook syncs the internal `historyStack` with `location.state.historyStack`, enabling correct behavior for browser back/forward buttons and manual URL changes.

2.  **Updated Navigation Components (`app/lib/transitions/view-transition.tsx`):**
    *   `LinkWithViewTransition` now uses `useNavigationHistory().push` to navigate, ensuring new routes are added to the custom stack.
    *   `useNavigateWithViewTransition` now returns a function that uses `useNavigationHistory().push`.
    *   View transition logic (`useViewTransitionEffect`) remains compatible, reading transition details from `location.state`.

3.  **Custom Back Button Handling (`app/hooks/use-custom-back-button.ts`):**
    *   Introduces `useCustomBackButton` hook, which is initialized in `app/root.tsx`.
    *   Provides a `goBack()` function that calls `useNavigationHistory().pop()`. This can be used by UI elements (e.g., header back arrows).
    *   Relies on `useNavigationHistory`'s `useEffect` to handle actual browser `popstate` events (back/forward buttons).

This new system ensures that navigation, especially using the back button (browser or in-app), behaves like a stack, as is common in mobile applications. View transitions are preserved. The scenario described in issue #445 (Home -> Settings -> Appearance, close Appearance, then back button leads to Home) should now work correctly if closing a page is implemented using the `pop()` mechanism.

🪧 Tips

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

  • Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Explain this complex logic.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai explain this code block.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and explain its main purpose.
    • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
    • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Support

Need help? Create a ticket on our support page for assistance with any issues or questions.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

CodeRabbit Commands (Invoked using PR comments)

  • @coderabbitai pause to pause the reviews on a PR.
  • @coderabbitai resume to resume the paused reviews.
  • @coderabbitai review to trigger an incremental review. This is useful when automatic reviews are disabled for the repository.
  • @coderabbitai full review to do a full review from scratch and review all the files again.
  • @coderabbitai summary to regenerate the summary of the PR.
  • @coderabbitai generate docstrings to generate docstrings for this PR.
  • @coderabbitai generate sequence diagram to generate a sequence diagram of the changes in this PR.
  • @coderabbitai resolve resolve all the CodeRabbit review comments.
  • @coderabbitai configuration to show the current CodeRabbit configuration for the repository.
  • @coderabbitai help to get help.

Other keywords and placeholders

  • Add @coderabbitai ignore anywhere in the PR description to prevent this PR from being reviewed.
  • Add @coderabbitai summary to generate the high-level summary at a specific location in the PR description.
  • Add @coderabbitai anywhere in the PR title to generate the title automatically.

CodeRabbit Configuration File (.coderabbit.yaml)

  • You can programmatically configure CodeRabbit by adding a .coderabbit.yaml file to the root of your repository.

Seems more complicated than it needs to be, were you just wanting to show me the result of the ai's work or do you like it how it is?

// If not, we might need to explicitly call `pop()` here under certain conditions,
// for example, if the new location (after browser back) matches what `pop()` would navigate to.

// For now, this effect will primarily be a placeholder to remind us
