# Magikarp Collection

A Next.js web app to browse every English Magikarp Pokémon card with images, set symbols, search, set filter, and a personal checklist stored in your browser.

## Features
- **Checklist (variants-aware)**: Track base, holofoil, and reverse holofoil per card. Local persistence with migration from v1 to v2.
- **Card images**: Card scans from `assets.tcgdex.net` (a placeholder is shown for cards TCGdex has no scan for).
- **Set badges**: Displays series and set name.
- **Search & filter**: Search by name/number/rarity/set and filter by set.
- **Totals include variants**: The header and tab badges use variant totals (base + available variants) for collected/uncollected counts.
- **Sort by release date**: Cards are ordered by set release date (oldest first).
- **Caching with TTL**: Server route caches card data to `data/cards.json` with a 24h TTL and a manual refresh button.
- **Cached/Live indicator**: Header shows whether data came from cache or a live fetch, with last updated timestamp.
- **Non-blocking error toast**: Refresh errors show a short-lived toast without disrupting the current view.
- **Responsive UI**: Tailwind CSS, mobile-friendly grid.

## Tech Stack
- **Next.js 15** (App Router)
- **React 19**
- **TypeScript**
- **Tailwind CSS v4**
- **Axios** for HTTP

## Quick Start

### 1) Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ and npm

### 2) Install dependencies
```bash
npm install
```

### 3) Environment variables
No API key is needed. Card data comes from the free [TCGdex](https://tcgdex.dev/) API.

To enable the optional single-user Basic Auth, create `.env.local` (or `.env`) in the project root:

```bash
# .env.local
BASIC_AUTH_USER=your_user
BASIC_AUTH_PASS=your_password
```

An example is provided in `.env.local.example`.

### 4) Run the dev server
```bash
npm run dev
```
By default: http://localhost:3000

If you see a server already running on port 3000, you can use another port:
```bash
PORT=3001 npm run dev
```

## Scripts
- `npm run dev` – start Next.js in development
- `npm run build` – production build
- `npm run start` – start production server
- `npm run lint` – lint project

## Data Source
- TCGdex REST API v2: https://api.tcgdex.net/v2/en (no key required)
  - `GET /cards?name=magikarp` lists matching cards; each card (`/cards/{id}`) and each set (`/sets/{id}`) is then fetched for details.
  - Pokémon TCG Pocket cards are skipped.
  - Cards whose TCGdex ID differs from the old pokemontcg.io ID keep the old ID (see `LEGACY_CARDS` in `src/lib/api.ts`) so saved checklists stay valid.
  - The previous source, the Pokémon TCG API (pokemontcg.io), is deprecated.

## How It Works
- The client loads data from `GET /api/magikarp` (`src/app/api/magikarp/route.ts`).
- The route fetches from TCGdex using `fetchMagikarpCards()` (`src/lib/api.ts`), caches the full response in `data/cards.json`, and serves cached data when fresh (<24h) unless `?refresh=1` is provided. If a refresh fails, the last cached data is served and marked `stale`.
- Cards render in `CardGrid`/`CardItem`, ordered by set release date.
- Checklist persists locally (v2 supports variant-level tracking). A server-backed route exists at `api/checklist` if you enable it.

## Docker

Build and run using Docker/Compose. The container listens on port 3000 internally; pick a host port via `APP_PORT`.

### Build and run
```bash
# Default host port 3000
docker compose up --build

# Custom host port
APP_PORT=8080 docker compose up --build
```

Open: http://localhost:3000 (or your chosen `APP_PORT`).

### Volumes and data
- The `./data` directory is mounted to `/app/data` in the container so cached JSON persists between restarts.
- `data/cards.json` and `data/checklist.json` are gitignored by default.

## Deployment
- **Vercel**: Zero-config for Next.js. No API key is required.
- **Netlify/Other**: Build command `npm run build`, publish `.next` with a Next adapter or use Next on Node; make sure environment vars are set.

## Troubleshooting
- "Cannot find module '@tailwindcss/postcss'": install the Tailwind v4 PostCSS plugin and ensure CommonJS config.
  ```bash
  npm i -D @tailwindcss/postcss
  # Ensure postcss.config.cjs exists with:
  # module.exports = { plugins: { '@tailwindcss/postcss': {} } }
  ```
- Images not loading: confirm `next.config.ts` allows `assets.tcgdex.net` and restart the dev server.
- No cards shown: check the server log for `Error fetching cards`; if TCGdex is unreachable the app serves the last cached data.
