gallery-ui

name	gallery-ui
description	React component patterns, CSS Modules styling, design tokens, virtualization, and UX constitution for the Driftara Gallery renderer. Use for src/ UI work, styling, FilterPanel/GalleryGrid/ImageViewer, or design:check—not electron/db unless coordinated with gallery-electron-ts.

Gallery UI

When to apply

• Renderer changes under src/ (components, styles, hooks used by UI)
• Styling, CSS Modules, design-token usage
• Gallery grid, viewer, filters, layout shell

Out of scope

• electron/ DB, IPC, main process — defer to gallery-electron-ts
• Backend /ui/ — defer to backend-frontend-ui
• Editing src/tokens.json — defer to image-scoring-ui design-tokens skill

Read first

1. docs/design/UX_UI_CONSTITUTION.md — gallery binding
2. image-scoring-ui UX_UI_CONSTITUTION.md — shared articles
3. docs/design/FRONTEND_UX_SPEC.md — typography, spacing, layout
4. image-scoring-ui DESIGN_SYSTEM.md

Design tokens

Need	Source
Shared colors	src/styles/tokens.css → @synthet/image-scoring-design/tokens.css
Layout/spacing only	src/styles/tokens.local.css
Stage names	src/constants/pipelineLabels.ts
Embedding icon	EmbeddingSpaceIcon, EMBEDDING_SPACE_LABELS from package
Photo labels	LABEL_COLORS from package or var(--label-*)

Rules: CSS Modules for new UI; var(--color-*) not hex; npm run design:check before done.

Component architecture

App.tsx                          ← Root: state, filters, image selection
├── MainLayout                   ← 3-panel layout (header, sidebar, content)
│   ├── header                   ← Current folder name + item count
│   ├── sidebar
│   │   ├── FilterPanel          ← Rating slider, color label filter
│   │   ├── Keyword/Sort selects
│   │   └── FolderTree
│   └── content
│       ├── GalleryGrid          ← Virtualized image/stack grid
│       └── ImageViewer          ← Full-screen viewer overlay

Styling conventions

• CSS Modules for component styles (e.g. GalleryGrid.module.css, toggle.module.css)
• Global tokens: tokens.css + tokens.local.css loaded from main.tsx
• Legacy inline styles still exist in some components — migrate token colors when editing; do not expand inline styling for new features
• Focus: 2px solid var(--color-accent) with offset (see FRONTEND_UX_SPEC)
• Text on images: gradient overlays OK; use semantic tokens elsewhere

GalleryGrid (src/components/Gallery/GalleryGrid.tsx)

Uses react-virtuoso's VirtuosoGrid:

<VirtuosoGrid
    style={{ height: '100%' }}
    totalCount={displayData.length}
    overscan={400}
    endReached={handleEndReached}
    components={{ List: ItemContainer, Item: ItemWrapper }}
    itemContent={itemContent}
/>

• Fixed item size: 180×240px cards
• Dual mode: images vs stacks
• Label borders: package LABEL_COLORS / --label-*, not status colors
• Images: media:// protocol (main process)
• Detection overlays (bird_bbox / BirdBoxOverlay): center an aspect-ratio: img_w / img_h wrapper inside .imageArea so fractional boxes align under object-fit: contain letterboxing — do not position against the full cell.

FilterPanel

FilterState in FilterPanel.tsx:

interface FilterState {
    minRating?: number;
    colorLabel?: string;
    keyword?: string;
    sortBy?: string;
    order?: 'ASC' | 'DESC';
}

New filter: extend FilterState, UI in FilterPanel, then electron/db.ts query options.

ImageViewer

Full-screen overlay: prev/next, metadata, in-viewer edits, Escape to close.

Commands

npm run design:check
npx tsc --noEmit
npm run lint        # known pre-existing issues; avoid new errors
