# XShop – Architecture (v1.0.0)

## 1. Overview

```
repo/
  docs/                 # product specs & ADRs
  xshop-theme/          # presentation layer
  xshop-core/           # companion plugin
  release/              # built zips (not committed)
  tools/                # build / QA scripts
```

Two installable artifacts: theme (`xshop`) + plugin (`xshop-core`). Theme never stores business logic that outlives theme activation (wishlist/compare/Q&A/banners live in plugin).

## 2. Theme – `xshop-theme`

### 2.1 File map (M3)

```
xshop-theme/
  style.css / functions.php / rtl.css / header.php / footer.php / index.php etc
  inc/
    setup/assets.php — tokens→base→layout→components→woo→utilities→style.css + theme.js + search.js (front-end only where data-xshop-search exists, documented)
    woocommerce/setup.php — loop_start/end, toolbar, gallery remove, related 4/4, product.js conditional
  assets/
    css/woo.css — + search dropdown (.xshop-search, _dropdown, _results, _item, responsive fixed @640)
    js/search.js — debounce 250ms, AbortController, stale seq, keyboard, a11y
  template-parts/components/
    ajax-search.php — reusable combobox (role=combobox, aria-expanded/controls, listbox, live status)
    + previous M2 components
  woocommerce/ — 4 overrides as M2
xshop-core/
  includes/REST/Search.php — xshop/v1/search endpoint
  includes/Core/Plugin.php — loads REST/Search.php
```

### 2.2 Bootstrap

`functions.php` is a thin loader:

```php
require_once __DIR__ . '/inc/setup/theme-support.php';
require_once __DIR__ . '/inc/setup/menus.php';
// ... each file exposes a single setup function hooked appropriately
```

No giant `functions.php`. Each `inc/*` file is namespaced or prefixed `xshop_`.

### 2.3 Namespacing & Prefixing

- Text domain: `xshop`
- PHP functions/options/actions/meta: `xshop_` prefix.
- Classes: `XShop\Theme\...` and `XShop\Core\...` (PSR-4 style even if manual require).

### 2.4 Hook Strategy

- Use `after_setup_theme` for theme support, `init` for CPT/taxonomy (only banners/Q&A).
- Use `wp_enqueue_scripts` with conditional loading.
- Use WC hooks for pricing, badges, loops – avoid overriding templates unless necessary.

## 3. Plugin – `xshop-core`

```
xshop-core/
  xshop-core.php        # plugin header + loader
  includes/
    Core/               # plugin bootstrap, constants
    Modules/
      Wishlist/
      Compare/
      QA/
      Search/
      Filter/
      Banners/
      Badges/
      DemoImport/
      SetupWizard/
      SystemStatus/
      Widgets/
    Admin/              # menu, dashboard, settings pages
    REST/               # REST endpoints (search/filter/wishlist/compare/QA)
    Compatibility/
  assets/ css/ js/
  languages/
  templates/            # wishlist, compare, banners front-end fragments
```

Plugin owns persistence for wishlist/compare/Q&A/banners. Theme only renders.

## 4. Data Ownership

- **WC**: products, variations, orders, customers, coupons, shipping, payment, taxes, cart, checkout.
- **WP**: users, posts, pages, media, menus, comments.
- **Custom**: banners (CPT `xshop_banner`), Q&A (CPT or comments extension – see DATABASE-MODEL.md), wishlist/compare (user meta + cookie + transient for guests), theme settings (single option `xshop_settings` + mods).

Avoid custom tables in v1; revisit via ADR if scale demands.

## 5. Design System (M2)

Tokens: `tokens.css` unchanged — adds WC tokens `--xshop-wc-badge-sale/--xshop-wc-price` etc. Layering `tokens→base→layout→components→woo→utilities→style.css` (woo.css 159 lines, tokens for shop/product/cart). Dark mode semantic swap covers `bg/surface/card/text/muted/border/input/focus/link/notice` — verified on shop/card/gallery/tabs/cart/checkout. Logical props only, zero `left/right`.

## 6. Asset Strategy (M2)

- Vanilla JS: `theme.js` (deferred) + `product.js` (enqueued only on `is_product()` via `xshop_wc_single_setup` guard). No gallery framework, 40 lines, keyboard Arrow/Home/End.
- Enqueue: `tokens→base→layout→components→woo→utilities→style.css` chain in `inc/setup/assets.php:1` (`woo.css` **intentionally global** 12KB — replaces Woo's 3 stylesheets, avoids FOUC on shop/product/cart/account; documented, tiny vs conditional complexity). WC styles dequeued (`woocommerce_enqueue_styles → __return_empty_array`). `product.js` conditional, `comment-reply` conditional.
- Localized `xshopData` on `xshop` handle. No jQuery for theme code; Woo's jQuery remains for variations/add-to-cart.
- Build: `tools/build-release.ps1` now includes top-level folder `xshop/` wrapper (fixed in M1.1).

## 7. AJAX / REST (M3: Search)

- **Search**: `GET /wp-json/xshop/v1/search?search=&limit=` via `xshop-core/includes/REST/Search.php:1` (`register_rest_route xshop/v1/search`). Public read-only (`permission_callback __return_true`), sanitized `search` (trim/strip_tags/sanitize_text_field/max 100) + `limit` 1..20, min length 2 returns empty without DB, `WP_Query` s + `_sku` LIKE, `post_status publish`, `no_found_rows`, `fields ids` deduped to `limit` (default 6), response `{items:[{id,title,url,image,price_html,type,in_stock}], total}` + `Cache-Control: public, max-age=60`. No private data, no N+1, no draft, no customer/order, `wc_get_product` only for returned IDs.
- Prefer REST for search/filter/Q&A, fallback `admin-ajax` for cart where WC expects.

## 8. Security Model

See `SECURITY.md`. TL;DR: sanitize in, escape out, nonces, capability checks, prepared statements, no `unserialize`, no open redirects.

## 9. Performance Model

See `PERFORMANCE.md`. Conditional assets, lazy-load, transients for expensive queries, no N+1, `wp_cache`.

## 10. i18n / RTL

- All strings via `__()`, `_e()`, `esc_html__()` with text domain `xshop`.
- Logical CSS, `dir` attribute toggling, `is_rtl()` branching only where logical props insufficient.
- Persian typography tokens, `lang="fa"` support, mixed LTR numbers handled via `unicode-bidi` where needed.

## 11. Templating (M2)

`header.php` → `site-header` + breadcrumbs; `footer.php` → `site-footer`. Content templates use Loop + `get_template_part`. Reusable: `product-card.php:1` (WC_Product badges/price/rating, hook `xshop_product_card_after_actions`), `product-grid.php:1`, `product-gallery.php:1` (featured+thumbs, keyboard). `front-page.php` section-based via `xshop_front_hero_args`.

**Woo overrides (4, all minimal, versioned):**
- `woocommerce/content-product.php` (3.6.0) — Why: grid/token alignment; Hooks/CSS insufficient (li.product markup). Minimal: single `<li>` + `get_template_part product-card`. Risk: Woo 3.6 → bump → re-check `wc_product_class`.
- `woocommerce/archive-product.php` (3.4.0) — Why: XShop header (category title/desc/count) + toolbar + empty-state CTA. Hooks could do header but empty-state needs override. Minimal.
- `woocommerce/content-single-product.php` (3.6.0) — Why: grid layout `.xshop-product` gallery+summary + custom gallery component. Hooks alone can't provide grid wrapper without CSS hacks. Minimal: wraps hooks, replaces `woocommerce_show_product_images`.
- `woocommerce/single-product.php` (1.6.4) — Delegator to `content-single-product.php`; kept for explicitness, could be removed (Woo default works) but retained for clarity.

All keep Woo hooks (`woocommerce_before_single_product`, `woocommerce_single_product_summary`, `woocommerce_after_single_product_summary` etc.) — no business logic rewrite. `inc/woocommerce/setup.php:1` handles `loop_start/end` filter (`xshop-products`), toolbar `woocommerce_before_shop_loop` 9/35, remove gallery, related args `posts_per_page 4 columns 4`.

## 12. Decision Records

ADRs in `docs/ADR/` – one per major decision (e.g., “No custom tables for Q&A in v1”).

## 13. Release

`release/xshop.zip` + `release/xshop-core.zip` built via `tools/build-release.ps1`. Excludes `.git`, `node_modules`, `.env`, logs, temp.

## 14. Versioning

SemVer 1.0.0. `CHANGELOG.md` follows Keep a Changelog.

## 15. Risks & Mitigations

- WC API churn → pin tested versions, monitor template versions, use hooks not overrides.
- RTL regressions → logical props + visual regression checklist.
- Demo import timeouts → chunked importer with resume.
