# Place-Value Native Architecture Refactor Plan
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 Objective
|
||||
Replace the current array-based column indexing system with native place-value architecture to eliminate the "column index nightmare" where we need to thread `effectiveColumns` through highlighting logic.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚨 Current Problem
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// BROKEN: Array indices fighting place values
|
||||
columnStates[0] = leftmost column (ten-thousands)
|
||||
columnStates[4] = rightmost column (ones)
|
||||
// Every operation requires: columnIndex = totalColumns - 1 - placeValue
|
||||
// Must thread totalColumns to highlighting: isBeadHighlighted(..., totalColumns)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## ✅ Target Solution
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// CLEAN: Place values as primary keys
|
||||
placeStates.set(0, { placeValue: 0, heavenActive: false, earthActive: 2 }) // ones
|
||||
placeStates.set(1, { placeValue: 1, heavenActive: true, earthActive: 0 }) // tens
|
||||
// NO conversion needed! Direct place-value access
|
||||
// NO totalColumns threading needed!
|
||||
```

## 📋 Implementation Plan
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 1: Core Data Structure Redesign ✅ COMPLETED

||||
**Status**: ✅ COMPLETED
|
||||
**Files**: `packages/abacus-react/src/AbacusReact.tsx`
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1.1 ✅ COMPLETED: Define new place-value types

- [x] `PlaceState` interface with native place value
|
||||
- [x] `PlaceStatesMap` type as Map<ValidPlaceValues, PlaceState>
|
||||
- [x] Update `BeadConfig` to use `placeValue` instead of `columnIndex`
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1.2 ✅ COMPLETED: Create new state management hook
|
||||
- [x] Implement `useAbacusPlaceStates()` hook
|
||||
- [x] Replace array operations with Map operations
|
||||
- [x] Eliminate all index math (columnStates.length - index - 1)
|
||||
- [x] Keep legacy `useAbacusState()` for backward compatibility

||||
|
||||
### Phase 2: Bead State Management ✅ COMPLETED
|
||||
**Status**: ✅ COMPLETED

|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 5: Remove Legacy Conversion Layers 🔄 PENDING

## ⚠️ Risks and Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### Breaking Changes
|
||||
- This is a major architectural change
|
||||
- Legacy `columnIndex` API will be deprecated
|
||||
- Some consumers may need updates
|
||||
|
||||
### Migration Strategy
|
||||
- Keep legacy `useAbacusState()` hook for backward compatibility
|
||||
- Provide clear deprecation warnings
|
||||
- Document migration path for consumers
|
||||
|
||||
### Testing Strategy
|
||||
- Maintain existing test behavior
|
||||
- Add new tests for place value logic
|
||||
- Verify tutorial highlighting still works correctly
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 Success Criteria
|
||||
|
||||
1. **No more totalColumns threading** - highlighting functions don't need column count
|
||||
2. **Native place value API** - direct place value access without conversions
|
||||
3. **Backward compatibility** - existing tutorials continue to work
|
||||
4. **Performance improvement** - Map operations instead of array index math
|
||||
5. **Maintainability** - adding columns doesn't break tutorials
