✅ Integration Complete - ActionPickerDialog in Action Mapping Form

Summary

Successfully integrated the ActionPickerDialog into the action mapping form screen. The form now uses the native GeViSet-style action picker instead of dropdowns.

Changes Made

1. Updated Imports

Added new imports for action templates and the ActionPickerDialog:

import '../../../data/models/action_template.dart';
import '../../../data/services/action_template_service.dart';
import '../../../core/constants/api_constants.dart';
import '../../blocs/auth/auth_bloc.dart';
import '../../blocs/auth/auth_state.dart';
import '../../widgets/action_picker_dialog.dart';

2. Refactored State Management

Before:

• Used List<TextEditingController> for output actions
• Used Map<int, Map<String, dynamic>> for parameters
• Manual parameter editing dialogs

After:

• Uses List<ActionOutput> directly
• Loads categories and templates on init
• ActionPickerDialog handles all action selection and parameter editing

New State Variables:

bool _isLoadingTemplates = true;
Map<String, List<String>>? _categories;
Map<String, ActionTemplate>? _templates;
List<ActionOutput> _outputActions = [];

3. Added Template Loading

Future<void> _loadActionTemplates() async {
  try {
    // Get auth token from AuthBloc
    final authState = context.read<AuthBloc>().state;
    String? token;
    if (authState is Authenticated) {
      token = authState.token;
    }

    final service = ActionTemplateService(
      baseUrl: ApiConstants.baseUrl,
      authToken: token,
    );

    final categoriesResponse = await service.getActionCategories();
    final templates = await service.getActionTemplates();

    setState(() {
      _categories = categoriesResponse.categories;
      _templates = templates;
      _isLoadingTemplates = false;
    });
  } catch (e) {
    // Handle error...
  }
}

4. New Action Management Methods

Add Output Action - Opens ActionPickerDialog:

Future<void> _addOutputAction() async {
  if (_categories == null || _templates == null) return;

  final result = await showDialog<ActionOutput>(
    context: context,
    builder: (context) => ActionPickerDialog(
      categories: _categories!,
      templates: _templates!,
    ),
  );

  if (result != null) {
    setState(() {
      _outputActions.add(result);
    });
  }
}

Edit Output Action - Opens ActionPickerDialog with existing action:

Future<void> _editOutputAction(int index) async {
  final result = await showDialog<ActionOutput>(
    context: context,
    builder: (context) => ActionPickerDialog(
      categories: _categories!,
      templates: _templates!,
      existingAction: _outputActions[index],
    ),
  );

  if (result != null) {
    setState(() {
      _outputActions[index] = result;
    });
  }
}

Remove Output Action:

void _removeOutputAction(int index) {
  setState(() {
    _outputActions.removeAt(index);
  });
}

Reorder Output Actions (matching native app):

void _moveOutputActionUp(int index) {
  if (index > 0) {
    setState(() {
      final action = _outputActions.removeAt(index);
      _outputActions.insert(index - 1, action);
    });
  }
}

void _moveOutputActionDown(int index) {
  if (index < _outputActions.length - 1) {
    setState(() {
      final action = _outputActions.removeAt(index);
      _outputActions.insert(index + 1, action);
    });
  }
}

5. Simplified Submit Form

void _submitForm() {
  if (_formKey.currentState!.validate()) {
    setState(() {
      _isSaving = true;
    });

    // Validate that at least one output action is provided
    if (_outputActions.isEmpty) {
      // Show error...
      return;
    }

    final mapping = ActionMapping(
      // ...
      outputActions: _outputActions,  // ← Direct use, no transformation needed!
      // ...
    );

    // Submit...
  }
}

6. Updated UI - Output Actions Section

New Features:

• ✅ Loading indicator while templates are loading
• ✅ Empty state message when no actions
• ✅ Cards showing action name and parameters
• ✅ Edit button opens ActionPickerDialog
• ✅ Up/Down buttons for reordering (like native app!)
• ✅ Remove button to delete actions
• ✅ Clean parameter display (read-only, edited via dialog)
