fix: persistent route

[Bran18]

Summary by Sourcery

Add persistent sidebar selections using localStorage and enhance navigation to preserve selected category and chatbot context across routes.

New Features:

• Persist selected categories and chatbots in localStorage to survive page reloads and sessions.
• Build header navigation URLs that maintain the current category and chatbot context.

Enhancements:

• Initialize sidebar state from localStorage and auto-select all items when no prior selection exists.
• Simplify sidebar hook by removing outdated path-based reset logic and only resetting state on the root route.
• Minor CSS class reordering in header and replace direct reset with context-preserving click handler in navigation links.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Navigation links in the header now preserve your current category and chatbot context when switching between "Chat" and "Public" sections.
  • Your selected categories and chatbots in the sidebar are now saved and restored across sessions for a more consistent experience.

• Documentation

  • Added comments to clarify sidebar behavior for improved code readability.

• Style

  • Minor reordering of CSS classes in the header for improved structure (no visual changes).

A rabbit hops from chat to chat,
Remembering where it last sat.
Sidebar choices now persist,
In localStorage, none are missed.
The header guides with context true,
Navigation fresh as morning dew.

Hey @Bran18 - I've reviewed your changes - here's some feedback:

• Reading from localStorage in the useState initializer may cause SSR hydration mismatches—consider moving that logic into a useEffect to hydrate state after mount.
• The preserveContextNavigation handler is currently a no-op; you’ll need to implement navigation or call your reset logic there so the links actually work as intended.
• In buildUrlWithCurrentContext, you assume activeChatbot.categories[0] and canonicalDomain always exist—add guards or fallbacks to avoid undefined property access and malformed URLs.

🧹 Nitpick comments (3)

apps/masterbots.ai/lib/hooks/use-sidebar.tsx (3)

79-96: Robust localStorage initialization with proper error handling.

The initialization logic properly guards against SSR issues and handles the case where localStorage might not exist.

Consider adding error handling for JSON.parse in case localStorage contains invalid data:

 const stored = localStorage.getItem(SELECTED_CATEGORIES_KEY)
-return stored ? JSON.parse(stored) : []
+try {
+  return stored ? JSON.parse(stored) : []
+} catch {
+  return []
+}

---

157-175: Efficient localStorage persistence with conditional saving.

The persistence logic only saves when arrays have content, which prevents unnecessary localStorage writes.

Consider adding a small debounce to prevent excessive localStorage writes during rapid state changes:

const debouncedPersist = useMemo(
  () => debounce((key: string, value: number[]) => {
    localStorage.setItem(key, JSON.stringify(value))
  }, 100),
  []
)

---

210-216: URL synchronization ensures consistency between active and selected items.

The logic correctly ensures that URL-based active items are included in the selection arrays, maintaining consistency between URL state and sidebar state.

Consider extracting the selection update logic into a reusable function to reduce code duplication:

const ensureItemSelected = useCallback((
  items: number[], 
  itemId: number, 
  setter: React.Dispatch<React.SetStateAction<number[]>>
) => {
  setter(prev => prev.includes(itemId) ? prev : [...prev, itemId])
}, [])

Learning: The 'pro' route type was intentionally added to the RouteType definition before its implementation logic, as the complete implementation exists in a separate branch (feat-pro-layout). This reflects an incremental development approach where type definitions may be updated in advance of their full implementation.

Learning: Bot profiles use a different URL structure than user profiles. For bot profiles, the URL format is `/b/{chatbot}/{threadSlug}` and only requires chatbot, threadSlug, and optionally threadQuestionSlug parameters. Bot profiles should not use the user profile URL format (`/u/{usernameSlug}/t/{category}/{domain}/{chatbot}/{threadSlug}`) which requires usernameSlug, domain, and category parameters that are not available in bot profile contexts.

Learning: When updating the URL in Next.js, prefer using `router.push` or `router.replace` from the Next.js `useRouter` hook instead of directly manipulating `window.history` to maintain consistency and leverage Next.js features.

Learning: When implementing the `handleShare` function in `apps/masterbots.ai/components/routes/chat/share-button.tsx`, prefer using modern APIs like the Clipboard API over deprecated methods like `document.execCommand('copy')`, as the project no longer needs to support very old web browsers.

Learning: In Next.js App Router, shallow routing is not supported with `useRouter` from `next/navigation`, so `window.history.pushState` should be used for shallow navigation between routes.

Learning: In the application, both chat routing and profile routing should use shallow redirection instead of full page reloads to maintain consistent UI/UX. The profile thread list interaction must be the same as the browse page, ensuring that navigation within the profile does not disrupt the application's state.

🔇 Additional comments (7)

29-29: LGTM! Clear documentation improvement.

The comment accurately clarifies when the state reset occurs, improving code readability and maintainability.

apps/masterbots.ai/components/layout/header/header.tsx (3)

15-15: LGTM! Import addition aligns with URL building functionality.

The toSlug import is correctly added to support the new URL building logic.

---

134-134: Minor: CSS class reordering has no functional impact.

The reordering of CSS classes doesn't affect functionality but maintains consistency.

Also applies to: 178-178

---

151-151: No action needed: preserveContextNavigation is intentionally a no-op

The preserveContextNavigation handler is left empty so that the default Next.js Link behavior still fires (it doesn’t call preventDefault), and state (active category/chatbot) is preserved. The URLs for “Chat” (personalUrl) and “Public” (publicUrl) already include the current context via buildUrlWithCurrentContext, so navigation works as intended.

Likely an incorrect or invalid review comment.

apps/masterbots.ai/lib/hooks/use-sidebar.tsx (3)

13-14: LGTM! Clear localStorage key definitions.

The localStorage keys are well-defined and follow a consistent naming pattern.

---

126-133: Simplified initialization logic improves readability.

The removal of pathname comparison simplifies the logic while maintaining the same functionality.

---

245-249: Proper state cleanup when no category matches.

The else block ensures proper state cleanup when navigation doesn't match any category, preventing stale state issues.

LGTM! Very nice way to handle the selected chatbots and categories, however, we can clean up a little bit before to merge 👍 I included one observation before to merge the changes.
