• Smooth 60fps interactions support

Test Plan

• Coordinate transformations accuracy verified

Summary of Changes

Hello @YI586, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces a robust and comprehensive viewport management system for the infinite canvas diagramming application. Its primary purpose is to enable smooth and efficient user interactions such as panning and zooming, while also optimizing rendering performance by culling elements outside the visible area. This foundational system is crucial for delivering a responsive and scalable diagramming experience.

Highlights

• Core Viewport Management: Implements a ViewportManager class handling screen-to-world coordinate transformations, various zoom operations (in, out, at point, to fit elements), and pan operations (by delta, to position, to world point), including viewport constraints and smooth animations.
• React Hooks Integration: Provides dedicated React hooks (useViewport, useViewportTransforms, useViewportVisibility) for seamless integration into React components, offering full viewport control, lightweight transformations, and performance-optimized visibility checks.
• Zustand Store Enhancement: Integrates viewport state and actions directly into the Zustand diagram store, ensuring automatic state persistence and enabling history tracking for undo/redo functionality related to viewport changes.
• Performance Optimizations: Incorporates efficient coordinate calculations, viewport culling to render only visible elements, and minimizes object creation in critical paths to support smooth 60fps interactions.
• Type Safety and Modularity: Designed with full TypeScript support, emphasizing separation of concerns between viewport logic and UI, and promoting an extensible architecture for future canvas features.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a comprehensive canvas viewport management system and a flexible storage adapter architecture. The new ViewportManager centralizes complex viewport logic like zooming and panning, and the React hooks provide a clean interface for components. The storage system with a base adapter and a file-based implementation is well-designed.

My review focuses on a few key areas:

• A performance issue in the useViewport hook due to incorrect Zustand store subscription.
• A potential bug in the diagram-store where viewport changes are not correctly added to the undo/redo history.
• Minor issues with deprecated API usage and redundant code in the storage adapter.
• An unused variable in the storage manager.
• An edge case in viewport bounds calculation.

Overall, this is a solid contribution. Addressing these points will improve performance, correctness, and code quality.

[gemini-code-assist]

Calling useDiagramStore() without a selector subscribes the component to the entire store. This will cause the useViewport hook, and any component using it, to re-render whenever any value in the diagram store changes, even if it's unrelated to the actions being used here. This can lead to significant performance issues.

To fix this, you should use a selector with a shallow equality check to only subscribe to changes in the actions you need. Since actions in Zustand are static, this will effectively subscribe only once.

import { shallow } from 'zustand/shallow';

// ... inside useViewport hook

  const {
    setViewport: storeSetViewport,
    resetViewport: storeResetViewport,
    zoomIn: storeZoomIn,
    zoomOut: storeZoomOut,
    zoomAtPoint: storeZoomAtPoint,
    zoomToFit: storeZoomToFit,
    panBy: storePanBy,
    panTo: storePanTo,
    panToWorldPoint: storePanToWorldPoint,
  } = useDiagramStore(
    (state) => ({
      setViewport: state.setViewport,
      resetViewport: state.resetViewport,
      zoomIn: state.zoomIn,
      zoomOut: state.zoomOut,
      zoomAtPoint: state.zoomAtPoint,
      zoomToFit: state.zoomToFit,
      panBy: state.panBy,
      panTo: state.panTo,
      panToWorldPoint: state.panToWorldPoint,
    }),
    shallow
  );

When elements is an empty array, this function returns a hardcoded 100x100 rectangle. This is arbitrary and might lead to unexpected behavior if calculateElementsBounds is used directly, as zoomToFitBounds would then try to frame this specific area.

A more predictable behavior would be to return a zero-sized rectangle at the origin. This correctly represents the bounds of an empty set of elements.

Suggested change

	if (elements.length === 0) {
	return { x: 0, y: 0, width: 100, height: 100 };
	if (elements.length === 0) {
	return { x: 0, y: 0, width: 0, height: 0 };
	}

[gemini-code-assist]

In the else block, the text is parsed again using JSON.parse(text). This is redundant because the text has already been parsed into the diagramFile object on the line above.

To make this more efficient, you should parse the JSON once into a variable and then check its structure.

Suggested change

	// Try parsing as direct diagram
	const parsedData = JSON.parse(text) as Diagram;
	diagram = parsedData;
	// Try parsing as direct diagram
	diagram = diagramFile as unknown as Diagram;

[gemini-code-assist]

The substr method is considered a legacy feature in JavaScript and is deprecated. It's recommended to use slice or substring instead for better predictability and to avoid using deprecated APIs.

Suggested change

	return `diagram_${Date.now()}_${Math.random().toString(36).substr(2, 9)}`;
	return `diagram_${Date.now()}_${Math.random().toString(36).slice(2, 11)}`;

[gemini-code-assist]

The substr method is deprecated. You should use slice or substring instead to keep the codebase modern and avoid legacy APIs.

Suggested change

	.substr(0, 100); // Limit length
	.slice(0, 100); // Limit length

[gemini-code-assist]

The private property operationId is declared and initialized but it is never used within the StorageManager class. This is dead code and should be removed to improve code clarity.
