Resilient Panel Pattern

This skill merges the best of data-service and panel-component to create panels that are both resilient to API failures and easy to implement. Each panel manages its own data fetching with built-in circuit breaker patterns and renders content using vanilla TypeScript.

Architecture Overview

1. Service Module: Each panel has a dedicated service module for data fetching, using circuit breakers for resilience.
2. Panel Class: Extends a base Panel class with built-in loading/error states and content rendering.
3. Data Flow: Panels automatically fetch data, handle errors, and retry as needed.

Implementation

1. Circuit Breaker Utility

Create src/utils/circuit-breaker.ts (same as in data-service but with enhanced logging):

interface CircuitState {
  failures: number;
  cooldownUntil: number;
}

interface CacheEntry<T> {
  data: T;
  timestamp: number;
}

export interface CircuitBreakerOptions {
  name: string;
  maxFailures?: number;
  cooldownMs?: number;
  cacheTtlMs?: number;
}

export class CircuitBreaker<T> {
  private state: CircuitState = { failures: 0, cooldownUntil: 0 };
  private cache: CacheEntry<T> | null = null;
  private name: string;
  private maxFailures: number;
  private cooldownMs: number;
  private cacheTtlMs: number;

  constructor(options: CircuitBreakerOptions) {
    this.name = options.name;
    this.maxFailures = options.maxFailures ?? 2;
    this.cooldownMs = options.cooldownMs ?? 5 * 60 * 1000;  // 5 minutes
    this.cacheTtlMs = options.cacheTtlMs ?? 10 * 60 * 1000; // 10 minutes
  }

  isOnCooldown(): boolean {
    if (Date.now() < this.state.cooldownUntil) return true;
    if (this.state.cooldownUntil > 0) {
      this.state = { failures: 0, cooldownUntil: 0 };
    }
    return false;
  }

  getCached(): T | null {
    if (this.cache && Date.now() - this.cache.timestamp < this.cacheTtlMs) {
      return this.cache.data;
    }
    return null;
  }

  recordSuccess(data: T): void {
    this.state = { failures: 0, cooldownUntil: 0 };
    this.cache = { data, timestamp: Date.now() };
  }

  recordFailure(error?: string): void {
    this.state.failures++;
    if (this.state.failures >= this.maxFailures) {
      this.state.cooldownUntil = Date.now() + this.cooldownMs;
      console.warn(`[${this.name}] Cooldown for ${this.cooldownMs / 1000}s`);
    }
  }

  async execute<R extends T>(fn: () => Promise<R>, defaultValue: R): Promise<R> {
    if (this.isOnCooldown()) {
      const cached = this.getCached();
      return (cached as R) ?? defaultValue;
    }
    const cached = this.getCached();
    if (cached !== null) return cached as R;
    try {
      const result = await fn();
      this.recordSuccess(result);
      return result;
    } catch (e) {
      console.error(`[${this.name}] Failed:`, e);
      this.recordFailure(String(e));
      return defaultValue;
    }
  }
}

export function createCircuitBreaker<T>(options: CircuitBreakerOptions): CircuitBreaker<T> {
  return new CircuitBreaker<T>(options);
}

2. Base Panel Class

Create src/components/Panel.ts with enhanced error handling and retry logic:

export interface PanelOptions {
  id: string;
  title: string;
  showCount?: boolean;
  className?: string;
}

export class Panel {
  protected element: HTMLElement;
  protected content: HTMLElement;
  protected header: HTMLElement;
  protected countEl: HTMLElement | null = null;
  protected panelId: string;
  private _fetching = false;

  constructor(options: PanelOptions) {
    this.panelId = options.id;
    this.element = document.createElement('div');
    this.element.className = `panel ${options.className || ''}`;
    this.element.dataset.panel = options.id;

    // Header
    this.header = document.createElement('div');
    this.header.className = 'panel-header';

    const headerLeft = document.createElement('div');
    headerLeft.className = 'panel-header-left';

    const title = document.createElement('span');
    title.className = 'panel-title';
    title.textContent = options.title;
    headerLeft.appendChild(title);
    this.header.appendChild(headerLeft);

    // Count badge (optional)
    if (options.showCount) {
      this.countEl = document.createElement('span');
      this.countEl.className = 'panel-count';
      this.countEl.textContent = '0';
      this.header.appendChild(this.countEl);
    }

    // Content area
    this.content = document.createElement('div');
    this.content.className = 'panel-content';
    this.content.id = `${options.id}Content`;

    this.element.appendChild(this.header);
    this.element.appendChild(this.content);
    this.showLoading();
  }

  public getElement(): HTMLElement { return this.element; }

  public showLoading(message = 'Loading...'): void {
    this.content.innerHTML = `
      <div class="panel-loading">
        <div class="panel-loading-spinner"></div>
        <div class="panel-loading-text">${message}</div>
      </div>`;
  }

  public showError(message = 'Failed to load', onRetry?: () => void): void {
    this.content.innerHTML = `
      <div class="panel-error-state">
        <div class="panel-error-msg">${message}</div>
        ${onRetry ? '<button class="panel-retry-btn" data-panel-retry>Retry</button>' : ''}
      </div>`;
    if (onRetry) {
      this.content.querySelector('[data-panel-retry]')?.addEventListener('click', onRetry);
    }
  }

  public setContent(html: string): void {
    this.content.innerHTML = html;
  }

  public setCount(count: number): void {
    if (this.countEl) this.countEl.textContent = count.toString();
  }

  public show(): void { this.element.classList.remove('hidden'); }
  public hide(): void { this.element.classList.add('hidden'); }

  protected setFetching(v: boolean): void { this._fetching = v; }
  protected get isFetching(): boolean { return this._fetching; }

  public destroy(): void {
    this.element.remove();
  }
}

3. Example: StockPanel with Integrated Service

import { Panel } from './Panel';
import { createCircuitBreaker } from '../utils/circuit-breaker';

interface StockQuote {
  symbol: string;
  name: string;
  price: number | null;
  change: number | null;
  sparkline?: number[];
}

const breaker = createCircuitBreaker<StockQuote[]>({
  name: 'StockMarket',
  cacheTtlMs: 60_000,
});

export class StockPanel extends Panel {
  private refreshTimer: ReturnType<typeof setInterval> | null = null;

  constructor() {
    super({ id: 'stocks', title: 'Stock Market', showCount: true });
    this.fetchData();
    this.refreshTimer = setInterval(() => this.fetchData(), 60_000);
  }

  private async fetchData(): Promise<void> {
    if (this.isFetching) return;
    this.setFetching(true);
    try {
      const quotes = await breaker.execute(async () => {
        const resp = await fetch('/api/stocks');
        if (!resp.ok) throw new Error(`HTTP ${resp.status}`);
        return resp.json();
      }, []);
      this.render(quotes);
      this.setCount(quotes.length);
    } catch (err) {
      this.showError('Failed to load stock data', () => this.fetchData());
    } finally {
      this.setFetching(false);
    }
  }

  private render(quotes: StockQuote[]): void {
    const rows = quotes.map(q => `
      <div class="stock-row">
        <span class="stock-symbol">${q.symbol}</span>
        <span class="stock-name">${q.name}</span>
        <span class="stock-price">${q.price != null ? '$' + q.price.toFixed(2) : '—'}</span>
        <span class="stock-change ${(q.change ?? 0) >= 0 ? 'positive' : 'negative'}">
          ${q.change != null ? (q.change >= 0 ? '+' : '') + q.change.toFixed(2) + '%' : '—'}
        </span>
      </div>
    `).join('');

    this.setContent(`<div class="stock-list">${rows}</div>`);
  }

  public override destroy(): void {
    if (this.refreshTimer) clearInterval(this.refreshTimer);
    super.destroy();
  }
}

Key Patterns

1. Integrated Data Handling: Each panel manages its own data fetching with built-in circuit breakers.
2. Resilient UI: Automatic retry logic and graceful degradation when APIs fail.
3. Simple Implementation: Just extend Panel and implement fetchData() and render().
4. Type Safety: Strongly typed data interfaces throughout.
