Recovery Timeline Feature - Complete Documentation

Overview

The Recovery Timeline feature provides a comprehensive visual representation of wallet recovery processes in the Mux Protocol frontend. It displays the sequence of events that occur during wallet recovery, including status indicators, timestamps, and detailed information about each step.

Architecture

Type Definitions (src/types/recovery.ts)

// Event types in recovery process
type RecoveryEventType = 
  | "initiated"      // Recovery process started
  | "detection"      // Issue detected
  | "verification"   // Identity verification
  | "processing"     // Recovery processing
  | "completion"     // Recovery completed
  | "error"          // Error occurred

// Event status
type RecoveryEventStatus = 
  | "pending"        // Waiting to start
  | "in_progress"    // Currently executing
  | "completed"      // Successfully finished
  | "failed"         // Failed to complete

// Single timeline event
interface RecoveryTimelineEvent {
  id: string
  type: RecoveryEventType
  status: RecoveryEventStatus
  title: string
  description: string
  timestamp: Date
  details?: string           // Additional details
  errorMessage?: string      // Error information if failed
}

// Complete recovery timeline
interface RecoveryTimeline {
  id: string
  walletId: string
  startedAt: Date
  completedAt?: Date
  status: "pending" | "in_progress" | "completed" | "failed"
  events: RecoveryTimelineEvent[]
  totalDuration?: number     // in milliseconds
}

Hook: useRecoveryTimeline

Manages recovery timeline state and provides utility functions.

Features:

• Timeline state management
• Event filtering by status
• Progress calculation
• Duration formatting
• Event selection
• Timeline validation

Usage:

import { useRecoveryTimeline } from "@/hooks/useRecoveryTimeline";
import { mockRecoveryTimelineCompleted } from "@/mock-data/recovery";

function MyComponent() {
  const {
    timeline,
    selectedEvent,
    selectEvent,
    progressPercentage,
    isComplete,
    hasErrors,
    completedEvents,
    inProgressEvents,
    failedEvents,
    formatDuration,
  } = useRecoveryTimeline(mockRecoveryTimelineCompleted);

  return (
    <div>
      <p>Progress: {progressPercentage}%</p>
      <p>Complete: {isComplete ? "Yes" : "No"}</p>
      <p>Has Errors: {hasErrors ? "Yes" : "No"}</p>
    </div>
  );
}

Available Methods:

• updateTimeline(newTimeline) - Update timeline with validation
• selectEvent(eventId) - Select an event
• getEventsByStatus(status) - Filter events by status
• formatDuration(milliseconds) - Format duration in human-readable format
• validateTimeline(timeline) - Validate timeline data

Computed Properties:

• progressPercentage - Percentage of completed events
• isComplete - Whether timeline is complete
• hasErrors - Whether timeline has failed events
• currentEvent - First incomplete event
• completedEvents - All completed events
• inProgressEvents - All in-progress events
• failedEvents - All failed events
• pendingEvents - All pending events

Components

RecoveryTimelineEvent

Displays a single event in the recovery timeline.

Props:

interface RecoveryTimelineEventProps {
  event: RecoveryTimelineEvent
  isLast?: boolean              // Whether this is the last event
  isFirst?: boolean             // Whether this is the first event
  onClick?: () => void          // Click handler
  className?: string            // Additional CSS classes
}

Features:

• Status-based styling (completed, in_progress, failed, pending)
• Visual timeline with connecting lines
• Event details and error messages
• Timestamp display
• Accessible with ARIA attributes
• Dark mode support

Example:

<RecoveryTimelineEvent
  event={event}
  isLast={false}
  onClick={() => selectEvent(event.id)}
/>

RecoveryTimelineList

Displays a complete list of recovery timeline events.

Props:

interface RecoveryTimelineListProps {
  events: RecoveryTimelineEvent[]
  className?: string
  onEventClick?: (event: RecoveryTimelineEvent) => void
  emptyMessage?: string
}

Features:

• Progress bar with status-based coloring
• Event statistics (completed, in_progress, failed)
• Empty state handling
• Event selection callbacks
• Responsive design
• Accessible with ARIA attributes
• Dark mode support

Example:

<RecoveryTimelineList
  events={timeline.events}

  emptyMessage="No recovery events"
/>

State Management

Timeline State Flow

Initial State
    ↓
User Initiates Recovery
    ↓
Detection Event (in_progress)
    ↓
Verification Event (in_progress)
    ↓
Processing Event (in_progress)
    ↓
Completion Event (completed)
    ↓
Final State (completed/failed)

Event Status Transitions

pending → in_progress → completed
                     ↘ failed

Error Handling

• Invalid timeline data defaults to empty state
• Invalid network values handled gracefully
• Missing optional fields supported
• Stale state detected and handled
• Disconnected states managed with fallbacks

Usage Examples

Basic Timeline Display

import { RecoveryTimelineList } from "@/components/recovery/RecoveryTimelineList";
import { mockRecoveryTimelineCompleted } from "@/mock-data/recovery";

export function RecoveryPage() {
  return (
    <RecoveryTimelineList
      events={mockRecoveryTimelineCompleted.events}
    />
  );
}

With Event Selection

import { useState } from "react";
import { RecoveryTimelineList } from "@/components/recovery/RecoveryTimelineList";
import { useRecoveryTimeline } from "@/hooks/useRecoveryTimeline";
import { mockRecoveryTimelineCompleted } from "@/mock-data/recovery";

export function RecoveryPageWithSelection() {
  const { timeline, selectedEvent, selectEvent } = useRecoveryTimeline(
    mockRecoveryTimelineCompleted
  );

  return (
    <div className="space-y-4">
      <RecoveryTimelineList
        events={timeline.events}
        onEventClick={selectEvent}
      />
      {selectedEvent && (
        <div className="p-4 bg-blue-50 rounded-lg">
          <h3>{selectedEvent.title}</h3>
          <p>{selectedEvent.description}</p>
        </div>
      )}
    </div>
  );
}

With Progress Tracking

import { useRecoveryTimeline } from "@/hooks/useRecoveryTimeline";
import { mockRecoveryTimelineInProgress } from "@/mock-data/recovery";

export function RecoveryProgress() {
  const {
    progressPercentage,
    isComplete,
    hasErrors,
    currentEvent,
  } = useRecoveryTimeline(mockRecoveryTimelineInProgress);

  return (
    <div className="space-y-4">
      <div>
        <p>Progress: {progressPercentage}%</p>
        <div className="w-full bg-gray-200 rounded-full h-2">
          <div
            className="bg-blue-500 h-2 rounded-full"
            style={{ width: `${progressPercentage}%` }}
          />
        </div>
      </div>
      {currentEvent && (
        <p>Current: {currentEvent.title}</p>
      )}
      {isComplete && <p>Recovery Complete!</p>}
      {hasErrors && <p>Recovery Failed</p>}
    </div>
  );
}

Running Tests

# Run all recovery timeline tests
pnpm test useRecoveryTimeline
pnpm test RecoveryTimelineList
pnpm test RecoveryTimelineEvent

# Run with coverage
pnpm test:coverage

# Run in watch mode
pnpm test:watch

Performance Considerations

• Timeline events are memoized to prevent unnecessary re-renders
• Progress calculations are optimized with useMemo
• Event filtering uses efficient array methods
• Large timeline arrays handled efficiently (tested with 1000+ events)

Accessibility Features

• Proper ARIA roles and labels
• Semantic HTML structure
• Keyboard navigation support
• Color contrast compliance
• Screen reader friendly
• Status indicators for all states

Dark Mode Support

All components include dark mode styles:

• Background colors adapt to dark theme
• Text colors maintain contrast
• Status indicators visible in both modes
• Timeline lines styled appropriately

Future Enhancements

• Real-time timeline updates via WebSocket
• Timeline filtering and search
• Export timeline as PDF/CSV
• Timeline comparison between wallets
• Automated recovery retry logic
• Timeline analytics and reporting

Troubleshooting

Timeline not updating

• Verify timeline data is valid
• Check that updateTimeline is called with valid data
• Ensure component is re-rendering

Events not displaying

• Check that events array is not empty
• Verify event data structure matches interface
• Check for console errors

Progress bar not showing

• Verify events have status field
• Check that at least one event exists
• Verify progress calculation logic
