Key Improvements from Original

🔧 Better Architecture

• Separation of Concerns: Each component has a single responsibility
• Reusable Logic: Composables extract business logic for reuse
• Modular Components: Easy to test, maintain, and extend

🚀 Modern Development Setup

• Vite: Lightning-fast development with HMR
• ES Modules: Native module support
• Build Optimization: Automatic code splitting and optimization

🧪 Testing Ready

• Component Isolation: Each component can be tested independently
• Pure Functions: Utilities are easy to unit test
• Mock-friendly: Composables can be easily mocked

📦 Scalability

• Clear Structure: Easy for new developers to understand
• Extensible: Add new features without touching existing code
• Type-safe Ready: Easy to migrate to TypeScript

Development Guidelines

Adding New Features

1. Create a composable for business logic:

// src/composables/useNewFeature.js
export function useNewFeature() {
  // Your logic here
  return { /* exported functions and refs */ }
}

2. Create components for UI:

<!-- src/components/NewComponent.vue -->
<template>
  <!-- Your template -->
</template>
<script setup>
// Your component logic
</script>

3. Add utilities for helpers:

// src/utils/newHelpers.js
export function newHelper() {
  // Pure helper function
}

Component Guidelines

• Use composition API with <script setup>
• Props for data in, emits for events out
• Keep components focused on single responsibility
• Use TypeScript for better developer experience (recommended)

State Management

For complex state, consider adding Pinia:

npm install pinia

Testing

Add Vitest and Vue Test Utils:

npm install -D vitest @vue/test-utils

Next Steps

1. Add TypeScript for better type safety
2. Implement real backend for cloud sync
3. Add PWA features for offline support
4. Add Vue Router for multiple views
5. Add Storybook for component documentation
6. Add E2E testing with Cypress or Playwright
