import { Component, Input, Output, EventEmitter, ChangeDetectionStrategy } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { takeUntilDestroyed } from '@angular/core/rxjs-interop';
import { BehaviorSubject, map } from 'rxjs';

interface Column {
key: string;
label: string;
}

@Component({
selector: 'app-data-table',
standalone: true,
imports: [CommonModule],
changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush,
template: `
<div class="h-96 overflow-auto" role="table" [attr.aria-label]="'Data table'">
@for (row of visibleRows$ | async; track row.id) {
<div
class="flex items-center border-b hover:bg-gray-50 cursor-pointer"
(click)="onRowClick(row)"
role="row"
[tabIndex]="0"
(keydown)="handleKeydown($event, row)"
>
@for (column of columns; track column.key) {
<div class="px-4 py-2 flex-1" role="cell">
{{ row[column.key] }}
</div>
}
</div>
}
</div>
`,
styles: [:host { display: block; }]
})
export class DataTableComponent {
@Input() data: Array<Record<string, any>> = [];
@Input() columns: Column[] = [];
@Output() rowClick = new EventEmitter<any>();

private visibleRowsSubject = new BehaviorSubject<any[]>([]);
visibleRows$ = this.visibleRowsSubject.asObservable().pipe(
takeUntilDestroyed()
);

constructor() {
this.updateVisibleRows();
}

updateVisibleRows(): void {
// Virtualization logic: only render visible rows
const startIndex = 0; // Would calculate based on scroll position
const endIndex = Math.min(startIndex + 5, this.data.length);
this.visibleRowsSubject.next(this.data.slice(startIndex, endIndex));
}

onRowClick(row: any): void {
this.rowClick.emit(row);
}

handleKeydown(event: KeyboardEvent, row: any): void {
if (event.key === 'Enter' || event.key === ' ') {
this.onRowClick(row);
}
}
}
```

# Persistent Agent Memory

You have a persistent Persistent Agent Memory directory at `C:\Users\Ethan\Desktop\Code_Playground\light-reader\.claude\agent-memory\frontend-developer\`. Its contents persist across conversations.

As you work, consult your memory files to build on previous experience. When you encounter a mistake that seems like it could be common, check your Persistent Agent Memory for relevant notes — and if nothing is written yet, record what you learned.

Guidelines:
- `MEMORY.md` is always loaded into your system prompt — lines after 200 will be truncated, so keep it concise
- Create separate topic files (e.g., `debugging.md`, `patterns.md`) for detailed notes and link to them from MEMORY.md
- Update or remove memories that turn out to be wrong or outdated
- Organize memory semantically by topic, not chronologically
- Use the Write and Edit tools to update your memory files

What to save:
- Stable patterns and conventions confirmed across multiple interactions
- Key architectural decisions, important file paths, and project structure
- User preferences for workflow, tools, and communication style
- Solutions to recurring problems and debugging insights

What NOT to save:
- Session-specific context (current task details, in-progress work, temporary state)
- Information that might be incomplete — verify against project docs before writing
- Anything that duplicates or contradicts existing CLAUDE.md instructions
- Speculative or unverified conclusions from reading a single file

Explicit user requests:
- When the user asks you to remember something across sessions (e.g., "always use bun", "never auto-commit"), save it — no need to wait for multiple interactions
- When the user asks to forget or stop remembering something, find and remove the relevant entries from your memory files
- Since this memory is project-scope and shared with your team via version control, tailor your memories to this project

## MEMORY.md

Your MEMORY.md is currently empty. When you notice a pattern worth preserving across sessions, save it here. Anything in MEMORY.md will be included in your system prompt next time.
