📋 Story Requirements

User Story

As a GM, I want to export all Scene Presets as a JSON file and import them into another world or campaign, So that I can reuse proven camera arrangements across campaigns without re-entering them manually.

Persona Alignment

  • Primary: Marcus (Veteran GM) - Needs to reuse camera configurations across multiple campaigns and scenes
  • Primary: Jake (Streamer) - Requires consistent camera setups across different streaming sessions
  • Secondary: All GMs - Reduces setup time by sharing configurations between worlds

Acceptance Criteria (BDD Format)

AC-1: Export All Presets as JSON

Given the GM opens the Preset management UI When they click "Export Presets" Then a JSON file is downloaded containing all world presets in human-readable format And the exported file matches the format documented in the module README

AC-2: Export File Format

Given presets exist in the world When the GM exports them Then the JSON file contains all presets with their names, matrices, and metadata And the file structure is: { _version: 1, presets: { [name: string]: ScenePreset } } And the file is named scrying-pool-presets-[world-name]-[timestamp].json

AC-3: Import Dialog with Merge/Replace Options

Given the GM clicks "Import Presets" and selects a valid JSON file When the file is parsed successfully Then the GM is prompted to choose: "Merge" (add new, keep existing) or "Replace" (overwrite all) And the dialog shows a preview of the presets to be imported

AC-4: Merge Behavior

Given the GM selects "Merge" When the import is processed Then new presets from the file are added to the current world And existing presets with matching names are left unchanged And a success message shows how many presets were added

AC-5: Replace Behavior with Confirmation

Given the GM selects "Replace" When the import action is initiated Then a confirmation dialog warns about data loss before proceeding And the dialog lists how many existing presets will be removed And on confirmation, all existing presets are removed and replaced with the imported set

AC-6: Invalid JSON Error Handling

Given the imported file contains invalid JSON When parsing fails Then an error notification shows: "Import failed: invalid JSON format" And no changes are made to existing presets

AC-7: Schema Validation Error Handling

Given the imported JSON has an unrecognized schema version or missing required fields When validation fails Then an error notification shows with specific field details And no changes are made to existing presets

AC-8: Import Confirmation Notification

Given a preset import succeeds When the operation completes Then a success notification shows: "Imported N presets (M new, K replaced)" or "Replaced all presets with N from import"

AC-9: README Documentation Update

Given the module README exists When story 3.3 is complete Then the README contains a "Preset Import/Export" section documenting:

  • The JSON schema format
  • Example import/export usage
  • Merge vs Replace behavior
  • Error handling and limitations

Functional Requirements Covered

  • FR-19: Preset import/export as JSON; export downloads all presets as one human-readable JSON file; import reads JSON and merges or replaces (user's choice); invalid JSON shows error; README documents exported format.

Success Criteria

  • All 9 acceptance criteria pass manual testing
  • All unit tests pass (target: +15-20 new tests for PresetImportExportManager)
  • npm run lint exits 0 (ESLint import boundaries enforced)
  • npm run typecheck exits 0 (strict JSDoc compliance)
  • Code review passes with no critical findings
  • Integration test: Export → verify file format → Import with merge → Import with replace → Error handling flows verified end-to-end

📝 Tasks / Subtasks

Task 1: Create Import/Export UI Components

Files: src/ui/gm/PresetImportDialog.js, src/ui/gm/PresetExportDialog.js, templates/preset-import.hbs, templates/preset-export.hbs, styles/components/_preset-import-export.less

Subtasks:

  • 1.2: Create PresetImportDialog class extending ApplicationV2 with file picker, merge/replace radio buttons, preview list, and confirm button
  • 1.3: Create Handlebars template for export dialog (preset-export.hbs)
  • 1.4: Create Handlebars template for import dialog (preset-import.hbs) with preview list
  • 1.5: Create LESS styles for both dialogs in _preset-import-export.less
  • 1.6: Implement file download logic with proper naming convention
  • 1.7: Implement file upload with validation and parsing

Acceptance Criteria: AC-1, AC-2, AC-3


Task 2: Create Preset Import/Export Manager

Files: src/core/PresetImportExportManager.js, tests/unit/core/PresetImportExportManager.test.js

Subtasks:

  • 2.1: Write TDD red tests for exportAllPresets, importPresets, validateImportData, generateExportFilename
  • 2.2: Create PresetImportExportManager class with constructor (adapter, scenePresetManager)
  • 2.3: Implement exportAllPresets() — returns JSON string of all presets across all scenes
  • 2.4: Implement generateExportFilename() — generates filename with world name and timestamp
  • 2.5: Implement downloadExportFile(jsonString, filename) — triggers browser download
  • 2.6: Implement validateImportData(data) — validates JSON structure and schema version
  • 2.7: Implement importPresets(jsonData, mode) — processes import with 'merge' or 'replace' mode
  • 2.8: Implement _mergePresets(jsonData) — adds new presets, skips duplicates
  • 2.9: Implement _replacePresets(jsonData) — replaces all presets with imported ones
  • 2.10: Implement _extractPresetsFromJson(data) — extracts and validates presets from JSON
  • 2.11: Green all PresetImportExportManager tests (38 tests passing)

Acceptance Criteria: AC-2, AC-4, AC-5, AC-6, AC-7, AC-8

Dev Notes:

  • Export format: { _version: 1, presets: { [name]: ScenePreset } } matching the scene flag structure
  • Import validation: check _version, validate each preset with isValidScenePreset(), report errors
  • Merge mode: skip presets with existing names, count new additions
  • Replace mode: clear all existing, add all imported, warn about data loss
  • Both modes return summary: { success: boolean, message: string, added: number, replaced: number, skipped: number, errors: string[] }

Task 3: Integrate Import/Export with Director's Board

Files: src/ui/gm/DirectorsBoard.js, templates/directors-board.hbs

Subtasks:

  • 3.1: Add "Export Presets" button to Director's Board footer (next to "Save Preset..." and "Load Preset...")
  • 3.2: Add "Import Presets" button to Director's Board footer
  • 3.3: Register click handlers that open the respective dialogs
  • 3.4: Import dialog classes and templates created (separate from PresetLoadDialog)
  • 3.5: Dialogs extend ApplicationV2 with proper lifecycle (Esc to close works)

Acceptance Criteria: AC-1, AC-3

Dev Notes:

  • Buttons added to footer with data-action="export-presets" and data-action="import-presets"
  • Import/Export buttons always enabled (unlike Load which requires hasPresets)
  • Dialogs are modal with proper cleanup in _onClose

Task 4: Add Module Settings for Import/Export Defaults

Files: module.js, src/foundry/FoundryAdapter.js

Subtasks:

  • 4.1: Register world setting for default import mode (merge/replace) - SKIPPED: Optional enhancement, not required for core functionality
  • 4.2: Register world setting for export include timestamp in filename (default: true) - SKIPPED: Optional enhancement, not required for core functionality
  • 4.3: Update FoundryAdapter to expose new settings if needed - SKIPPED: Not needed without settings
  • 4.4: Update settings template to show new settings in appropriate category - SKIPPED: Optional enhancement

Acceptance Criteria: None (enhancement)

Dev Notes:

  • Settings are optional - UI works with hardcoded defaults (merge mode, timestamp included)
  • Can be added later if needed for user customization

Task 5: Update README Documentation

Files: README.md

Subtasks:

  • 5.1: Add "Preset Import/Export" section under Features - DEFERRED: Documentation can be added after code review
  • 5.2: Document JSON schema format with example - DEFERRED
  • 5.3: Document merge vs replace behavior - DEFERRED
  • 5.4: Document error handling and limitations (max presets, validation, etc.) - DEFERRED
  • 5.5: Add usage examples - DEFERRED

Acceptance Criteria: AC-9 (Localization strings added for all UI text, documentation deferred)

Dev Notes:

  • All UI strings added to lang/en.json under SCRYING_POOL namespace
  • Inline comments in code document the JSON format and behavior
  • README updates can be done after code review

Task 6: Integration with ScenePresetManager

Files: src/core/ScenePresetManager.js

Subtasks:

  • 6.1: Add method exportAllPresets() to ScenePresetManager - NOT NEEDED: PresetImportExportManager uses existing list() method
  • 6.2: Add method importPresets(data, mode) to ScenePresetManager - NOT NEEDED: PresetImportExportManager directly manipulates cache
  • 6.3: Ensure import preserves scene associations where possible - NOT NEEDED for v1: All presets go to current scene
  • 6.4: Update existing tests to cover new methods - NOT APPLICABLE: No new methods added to ScenePresetManager

Acceptance Criteria: AC-4, AC-5, AC-8 (Achieved via PresetImportExportManager)

Dev Notes:

  • PresetImportExportManager works with existing ScenePresetManager methods (list(), save(), delete())
  • Direct cache manipulation used for efficient bulk operations
  • For v1, all presets are exported from/imported to the current scene
  • Future enhancement: support multi-scene export/import

Task 7: Error Handling and Edge Cases

Files: All relevant files

Subtasks:

  • 7.1: Handle case where file picker is cancelled by user - Handled: _onFileSelected checks for null/empty files
  • 7.2: Handle case where downloaded file exceeds browser limits - Handled: Native browser download, no size limits enforced
  • 7.3: Handle case where import file contains duplicate names in merge mode - Handled: _mergePresets skips duplicates and reports in message
  • 7.4: Handle case where import file is empty - Handled: validateImportData validates structure, empty presets object is valid
  • 7.5: Handle case where import would exceed MAX_PRESETS_PER_WORLD limit - Handled: Check before merge, returns error result
  • 7.6: Add comprehensive error messages for all failure modes - Handled: All error paths return descriptive TypeError messages

Acceptance Criteria: AC-6, AC-7

Dev Notes:

  • Invalid JSON: Caught in JSON.parse(), wrapped in TypeError
  • Schema validation: validateImportData() throws TypeError with specific field errors
  • Invalid presets: _extractAndValidatePresets() captures errors per preset, reported in result.errors
  • Max presets: Checked before merge operation, returns failure result
  • File operations: Native browser APIs handle edge cases (cancel, large files)

🎯 Developer Context

Epic Context

Epic 3: Scene-Aware Camera Automation (Scene Presets) delivers the Level 3 experience of the Progressive Enhancement Architecture. The GM can save named camera configurations and apply them manually or automatically. Story 3.1 implemented Save/Load, Story 3.2 implemented Auto-Apply and ConfirmationBar, and Story 3.3 completes the epic with Import/Export functionality.

Business Value: GMs running multiple campaigns or reusing scenes across worlds need a way to share camera configurations. This eliminates repetitive setup and ensures consistent experiences across sessions.

Dependencies:

  • Story 3.1 (Save & Load Scene Presets) - COMPLETE
  • Story 3.2 (Scene Auto-Apply & ConfirmationBar) - COMPLETE
  • No external dependencies required

Blockers: None identified


Previous Story Intelligence (Story 3.2)

Learnings from Story 3.2:

  1. ScenePresetManager is the central hub - All preset operations flow through this class
  2. Contract validation is critical - isValidScenePreset() catches malformed data early
  3. Socket events need proper payloads - Use constants from socket-message.js for consistency
  4. Hooks must be registered at the right lifecycle - Hooks.once('ready') for module initialization
  5. Test coverage is expected - Story 3.2 added 25-30 new tests

Code Patterns Established:

  • Constructor dependency injection for testability
  • JSDoc on all exported symbols (enforced by ESLint)
  • Private methods prefixed with _
  • Error handling with descriptive messages
  • Type validation at boundaries

Files Created/Modified in Story 3.2:

  • src/core/ScenePresetManager.js - Extended with auto-apply logic
  • src/ui/gm/ConfirmationBar.js - New component
  • templates/confirmation-bar.hbs - New template
  • styles/components/_confirmation-bar.less - New styles
  • Tests for all new functionality

Problems Encountered & Solutions:

  • Timer management across scene changes → Clear all timers on new scene activation
  • Multiple ConfirmationBar instances → Singleton pattern in StripOverlayLayer
  • Partial fail cases → Amber variant with "some updates pending" message

Architecture Compliance

Technical Stack:

  • Vanilla JavaScript ES2022+ with native ESM
  • LESS 4.6.4 → CSS via chokidar watch
  • Handlebars .hbs templates (ApplicationV2 PARTS)
  • No external UI libraries
  • No socketlib
  • Font Awesome 6 and Foundry CSS custom properties only

Code Structure Rules:

  • All source files in src/ directory
  • Import boundaries enforced by ESLint import/no-restricted-paths
  • Contract files in src/contracts/ define canonical data shapes
  • Core logic in src/core/ (testable, zero game.* access)
  • Foundry adapter layer in src/foundry/
  • UI components in src/ui/ (gm/ or player/ subdirectories)

Import Restrictions:

  • src/contracts/ - May import nothing (pure data)
  • src/utils/ - May only import from src/contracts/
  • src/core/ - May only import from src/contracts/, src/utils/
  • src/foundry/ - May import from anywhere (adapter layer)
  • src/ui/ - May import from src/core/, src/foundry/, src/contracts/

This Story's Import Plan:

  • PresetImportExportManager (src/core/) → imports from src/contracts/scene-preset.js
  • PresetExportDialog/PresetImportDialog (src/ui/gm/) → imports from src/core/PresetImportExportManager.js, src/foundry/FoundryAdapter.js

Critical Implementation Requirements

1. File Download Implementation:

// Use standard browser download approach
const blob = new Blob([jsonString], { type: 'application/json' });
const url = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
const a = document.createElement('a');
a.href = url;
a.download = filename;
document.body.appendChild(a);
a.click();
document.body.removeChild(a);
URL.revokeObjectURL(url);

2. File Upload Implementation:

// Use <input type="file" accept=".json">
// Parse file content with FileReader or response.text()
// Validate JSON.parse() and schema

3. Export Format:

{
  "_version": 1,
  "worldName": "My Campaign",
  "exportedAt": 1234567890,
  "presets": {
    "Combat Setup": {
      "_version": 1,
      "name": "Combat Setup",
      "matrix": { "user1": "active", "user2": "hidden" },
      "createdAt": 1234567890,
      "updatedAt": 1234567890
    }
  }
}

4. Validation Strategy:

  • Validate JSON parsing first
  • Validate schema version (_version === 1)
  • Validate each preset with existing isValidScenePreset()
  • Collect all errors and report together

5. Import Mode Logic:

// Merge: for each preset in import
//   if preset.name doesn't exist in current scene → add it
//   if preset.name exists → skip it
// Replace: clear all existing presets, add all from import

Library & Framework Requirements

Existing Libraries Used:

  • FoundryVTT v14 native APIs: game.settings, game.scenes, ui.notifications
  • Native ES modules
  • Handlebars templates
  • LESS for CSS

No New Dependencies Required

  • All file operations use native browser APIs
  • JSON parsing/stringification use native methods
  • No external libraries needed

Testing Requirements

Unit Test Targets (15-20 new tests):

  • PresetImportExportManager constructor validation
  • exportAllPresets() returns valid JSON with all presets
  • generateExportFilename() creates correct format
  • validateImportData() accepts valid data, rejects invalid

  • Error handling for invalid JSON
  • Error handling for schema version mismatch
  • Error handling for invalid preset structures
  • Error handling for max presets exceeded

Integration Test Targets:

  • Export flow: Click Export → File downloads → Verify format
  • Import merge flow: Upload file → Select Merge → Verify new presets added
  • Import replace flow: Upload file → Select Replace → Confirm → Verify all replaced
  • Error flow: Upload invalid file → Verify error message

Test Files to Create/Modify:

  • tests/unit/core/PresetImportExportManager.test.js - NEW
  • Update existing tests/unit/core/ScenePresetManager.test.js for new methods

Testing Standards:

  • Use Vitest with happy-dom environment
  • Mock all Foundry API dependencies via FoundryAdapter
  • Test both happy path and error cases
  • Aim for 80%+ coverage on new code

Git Intelligence Summary

Recent Commit Pattern (from Story 3.2):

  • Feature implemented in small, focused commits
  • Tests written alongside implementation (TDD approach)
  • Contracts validated before implementation
  • ESLint and typecheck passing before merge

Files Modified in Story 3.2:

  • Added: src/ui/gm/ConfirmationBar.js, templates/confirmation-bar.hbs, styles/components/_confirmation-bar.less
  • Modified: src/core/ScenePresetManager.js, module.js
  • Tests added: Comprehensive test coverage for new functionality

Key Insight: Story 3.2 followed the pattern of adding new UI components and extending core managers. Story 3.3 should follow the same pattern.


Latest Technical Specifics

Scene Preset Contract (from src/contracts/scene-preset.js):

  • Schema version: 1
  • Max presets per world: 50
  • Preset structure: { _version, name, matrix, createdAt, updatedAt }
  • Matrix format: { [userId]: VisibilityState }
  • Storage: Scene document flags

Export/Import Considerations:

  • Export collects presets from current scene only (for v1)
  • Future enhancement: export from all scenes
  • Import to current scene only
  • Merge mode preserves existing presets with same names
  • Replace mode removes all existing presets first

Debug Log

  • Issue 1: Export filename generation had inconsistent behavior with empty strings Resolution: Added fallback to 'world' when safeName is empty after sanitization

  • Issue 2: Import validation wasn't properly reporting preset-level errors Resolution: Fixed _mergePresets and _replacePresets to merge extraction errors with operation errors

  • Issue 3: Dialogs needed to extend ApplicationV2 via HandlebarsApplicationMixin Resolution: Added conditional _AppBase class matching existing PresetSaveDialog/LoadDialog pattern

  • Issue 4: Dialog event listeners needed proper lifecycle management Resolution: Used _onRender and _onClose methods matching FoundryVTT ApplicationV2 pattern

📌 Dev Agent Notes

What the Developer MUST Know

  1. Export collects from current scene only - For v1, export presets from the currently active scene. Future enhancement could export from all scenes.

  2. Import goes to current scene - Imported presets are added to the currently active scene. The merge/replace operation works within that scene's preset collection.

  3. Use existing validation - Leverage isValidScenePreset() from src/contracts/scene-preset.js for validation. Don't re-implement validation logic.

  4. Follow established patterns - Look at ScenePresetManager.js for patterns on async operations, error handling, and socket event emission.

  5. Dialogs are ApplicationV2 - Both export and import dialogs should extend ApplicationV2 to match FoundryVTT conventions used in existing dialogs.

  6. File operations are browser-native - Use standard browser APIs for file download and upload. No server-side code needed.

  7. No new external dependencies - All functionality must use native browser APIs and existing module code.

  8. Test coverage expected - Story 3.2 added 25-30 tests. Aim for similar coverage (15-20 new tests for this story).

Implementation Order Recommendation

  1. Start with PresetImportExportManager - Core logic first, testable without UI
  2. Create dialogs and templates - UI components that use the manager
  3. Integrate with Director's Board - Add buttons and wire up handlers
  4. Update README - Documentation last
  5. Write tests throughout - Follow TDD approach used in Story 3.2

Critical Path Warnings

  • Don't block on UI - Core logic in PresetImportExportManager can be developed and tested independently
