# Zustand Stores Audit

**Date**: 2026-01-11  
**Action**: 4.5.1.1 - List all Zustand stores  
**Status**: ✅ Complete

## Summary

This document lists all Zustand stores found in the codebase, their locations, purposes, and key characteristics.

## Stores Found

### 1. UI Store (`apps/web/src/stores/ui.ts`)
- **Export**: `useUIStore`
- **Purpose**: UI state management (theme, language, sidebar, notifications)
- **Middlewares**: `persist`, `devtools`, `broadcastSync`
- **State Type**: `UIStore` (UIState & UIActions)
- **Key State**:
  - `theme: 'light' | 'dark' | 'system'`
  - `language: 'en' | 'fr'`
  - `sidebarOpen: boolean`
  - `notifications: Notification[]`
- **Category**: ✅ **UI State** (appropriate for Zustand)
- **Migration Priority**: Low (UI state should stay in Zustand)

### 2. Library Store (`apps/web/src/stores/library.ts`)
- **Export**: `useLibraryStore`
- **Purpose**: Library items, favorites, pagination state
- **Middlewares**: `persist`, `devtools`, `stateMiddleware`, `undoRedo`
- **State Type**: `LibraryStore` (LibraryState & LibraryActions & WithUndoRedo)
- **Key State**:
  - `items: NormalizedState<LibraryItem>` ⚠️ **Domain Data**
  - `favorites: NormalizedState<LibraryItem>` ⚠️ **Domain Data**
  - `pagination: { page, limit, total, hasNext, hasPrev }` ⚠️ **Domain Data**
  - `isLoading: boolean`
  - `error: ApiError | null`
- **Category**: ⚠️ **Domain Data** (should migrate to React Query)
- **Migration Priority**: High (contains domain data that should be server state)

### 3. Chat Store (`apps/web/src/stores/chat.ts`)
- **Export**: `useChatStore`
- **Purpose**: Chat conversations, messages, typing indicators
- **Middlewares**: `persist`, `devtools`
- **State Type**: `ChatStore` (ChatState & ChatActions)
- **Key State**:
  - `conversations: Conversation[]` ⚠️ **Domain Data**
  - `currentConversation: Conversation | null` ✅ UI State
  - `messages: Record<string, ChatMessage[]>` ⚠️ **Domain Data**
  - `typingUsers: Record<string, string[]>` ✅ UI State (ephemeral)
  - `isConnected: boolean` ✅ UI State
  - `isLoading: boolean`
  - `error: string | null`
- **Category**: ⚠️ **Mixed** (domain data + UI state)
- **Migration Priority**: Medium (domain data should migrate to React Query, UI state can stay)

### 4. Cart Store (`apps/web/src/stores/cartStore.ts`)
- **Export**: `useCartStore`
- **Purpose**: Shopping cart items and operations
- **Middlewares**: `persist`
- **State Type**: `CartStore` (CartState)
- **Key State**:
  - `items: CartItem[]` ✅ **UI State** (client-side cart before checkout)
  - Actions: `addItem`, `removeItem`, `updateQuantity`, `clearCart`, `getTotal`, `getItemCount`
- **Category**: ✅ **UI State** (appropriate for Zustand - client-side cart)
- **Migration Priority**: Low (cart is client-side state before checkout)
- **Analysis**: 
  - Cart items are temporary client-side state before checkout
  - Not domain data - cart is created client-side, not fetched from server
  - Persisted to localStorage for user convenience
  - No server synchronization needed until checkout
  - ✅ **Correctly categorized as UI state**

### 5. Auth Store (`apps/web/src/features/auth/store/authStore.ts`)
- **Export**: `useAuthStore`
- **Purpose**: Authentication state (user, tokens, auth status)
- **Middlewares**: `persist`, `broadcastSync`
- **State Type**: `AuthStore` (AuthState & AuthActions)
- **Key State**:
  - `user: User | null` ⚠️ **Domain Data** (should migrate to React Query)
  - `isAuthenticated: boolean` ✅ UI State (can stay)
  - `isLoading: boolean`
  - `error: ApiError | null`
  - `_refreshUserPromise: Promise<void> | null` (internal deduplication)
- **Category**: ⚠️ **Mixed** (domain data + UI state)
- **Migration Priority**: High (user data should migrate to React Query - Action 4.1.1.x)

### 6. Chat Store (Feature) (`apps/web/src/features/chat/store/chatStore.ts`)
- **Export**: `useChatStore` (⚠️ **DUPLICATE NAME** with `stores/chat.ts`)
- **Purpose**: Chat state management (feature-specific, uses Immer)
- **Middlewares**: `immer`, `devtools`
- **State Type**: Chat store with Immer middleware
- **Key State**:
  - `conversations: Conversation[]` ⚠️ **Domain Data**
  - `messages: Record<string, ChatMessage[]>` ⚠️ **Domain Data**
  - `currentConversationId: string | null` ✅ UI State
  - `typingUsers: Record<string, string[]>` ✅ UI State
  - `wsStatus: 'disconnected' | 'connecting' | 'connected' | 'error'` ✅ UI State
- **Category**: ⚠️ **Domain Data** (duplicate store - needs investigation)
- **Migration Priority**: High (investigate which store is used, consolidate)
- **Note**: `stores/index.ts` exports `stores/chat.ts`, but feature store exists separately

### 7. Player Store (`apps/web/src/features/player/store/playerStore.ts`)
- **Export**: `usePlayerStore` (likely)
- **Purpose**: Audio player state (current track, playback state, queue)
- **Middlewares**: `persist`
- **State Type**: Player store
- **Key State**: (needs inspection)
- **Category**: ✅ **UI State** (player state is client-side)
- **Migration Priority**: Low (player state should stay in Zustand)

## Store Locations

### Centralized Stores (`apps/web/src/stores/`)
1. `ui.ts` - UI Store
2. `library.ts` - Library Store
3. `chat.ts` - Chat Store
4. `cartStore.ts` - Cart Store
5. `types.ts` - Type definitions
6. `index.ts` - Exports

### Feature Stores (`apps/web/src/features/*/store/`)
1. `auth/store/authStore.ts` - Auth Store
2. `chat/store/chatStore.ts` - Chat Store (duplicate?)
3. `player/store/playerStore.ts` - Player Store

## Store Characteristics

### Middleware Usage
- **persist**: Used in 6/7 stores (UI, Library, Chat, Cart, Auth, Player)
- **devtools**: Used in 3/7 stores (UI, Library, Chat)
- **broadcastSync**: Used in 2/7 stores (UI, Auth)
- **stateMiddleware**: Used in 1/7 stores (Library)
- **undoRedo**: Used in 1/7 stores (Library)
- **immer**: Used in 1/7 stores (Chat feature store)

### Domain Data Stores (Should Migrate to React Query)
1. **Library Store** - `items`, `favorites`, `pagination`
2. **Auth Store** - `user` (Action 4.1.1.x in progress)
3. **Chat Store** - `conversations`, `messages`

### UI State Stores (Appropriate for Zustand)
1. **UI Store** - Theme, language, sidebar, notifications
2. **Cart Store** - Shopping cart items
3. **Player Store** - Audio player state
4. **Auth Store** - `isAuthenticated` flag

### Mixed Stores (Need Partial Migration)
1. **Auth Store** - `user` (domain) + `isAuthenticated` (UI)
2. **Chat Store** - `conversations/messages` (domain) + `currentConversation/typingUsers` (UI)

## Issues Identified

### 1. Duplicate Chat Stores ⚠️ **CRITICAL**
- **Store 1**: `apps/web/src/stores/chat.ts` (exported in `stores/index.ts`)
  - **Used by**: `ChatMessages.tsx`, `stateHydration.ts`, `storeSelectors.ts`, `stores.test.ts`
  - **Middlewares**: `persist`, `devtools`
- **Store 2**: `apps/web/src/features/chat/store/chatStore.ts` (feature-specific)
  - **Used by**: Most chat feature components (`ChatSidebar`, `ChatPage`, `ChatInput`, `ChatRoom`, `CreateRoomDialog`, `useChat.ts`, `TypingIndicator`)
  - **Middlewares**: `immer`, `devtools`
- **Problem**: Both export `useChatStore` with same name, causing potential conflicts
- **Action Required**: 
  1. Determine which store is the source of truth
  2. Consolidate into single store
  3. Update all imports to use consolidated store
  4. Remove duplicate store

### 2. Domain Data in Zustand ⚠️
- Library Store contains domain data (`items`, `favorites`)
- Auth Store contains domain data (`user`)
- Chat Store contains domain data (`conversations`, `messages`)
- **Action Required**: Migrate domain data to React Query (Epic 4.1)

### 3. Complex Middleware Stack
- Library Store uses `stateMiddleware` and `undoRedo` - may be unnecessary complexity
- **Action Required**: Audit middleware usage (Action 4.1.2.x)

## Migration Roadmap

### Phase 1: High Priority (Domain Data)
1. ✅ **Auth Store** - `user` → React Query (Action 4.1.1.x in progress)
2. **Library Store** - `items`, `favorites` → React Query
3. **Chat Store** - `conversations`, `messages` → React Query

### Phase 2: Medium Priority (Cleanup)
1. Investigate duplicate Chat stores
2. Simplify middleware stacks
3. Remove `stateMiddleware` if unnecessary

### Phase 3: Low Priority (Keep in Zustand)
1. UI Store - Keep (UI state)
2. Cart Store - Keep (client-side cart)
3. Player Store - Keep (player state)

## Next Steps

1. ✅ **Action 4.5.1.1**: List complete - 7 stores identified
2. **Action 4.5.1.2**: Categorize stores (UI state vs domain data) - See categorization above
3. **Action 4.1.1.x**: Migrate Auth Store `user` to React Query (in progress)
4. **Action 4.1.2.x**: Migrate Library Store domain data to React Query
5. Investigate duplicate Chat stores
