Timeline Functions Bulletproof Fix
Fixed hamburger menu timeline button and swipe gesture with IIFE-first pattern
Output
š§ Timeline Functions Bulletproof Fix
Problem Identified
The hamburger menu's "Flow Timeline" button was showing "Timeline function not available" because window.openFlowTimeline wasn't being found when the button was clicked.
Root Cause Analysis
The previous code pattern was:
// Old pattern - functions defined first, then assigned to window later function openFlowTimeline() { ... } // ... lots of code ... window.openFlowTimeline = openFlowTimeline; // Assigned later
If any parsing error occurred between the function definition and the window assignment, the function would never be exposed globally.
Solution: IIFE-First Pattern
Rewrote to expose functions immediately at the very start of the script:
// New pattern - IIFE runs FIRST, defines everything on window (function() { window.flowTimelineState = { ... }; window.openFlowTimeline = function() { // Implementation here }; window.closeFlowTimeline = function() { ... }; window.toggleFlowTimeline = function() { ... }; })(); // Local references for rest of script var flowTimelineState = window.flowTimelineState;
Changes Made
konui/src/views/ āāā flow-timeline-pane.ts (+77, -63 lines) āāā Added IIFE-first pattern for window function exposure āāā Added window.flowTimelineState as canonical state āāā Updated swipe handler to use window references
Key Guarantees
window.openFlowTimelineis defined before ANY other code runs- The IIFE executes synchronously as the first thing in the script
- Even if later code has errors, the window functions already exist
- Swipe gestures now use explicit
window.openFlowTimeline()calls
ā ļø Requires Konui Restart
Since greatvibe-restart-permitted: no is set, please restart konui manually after this turn completes.
