# Story 9.1: Add Favorites Section

Status: review

## Story

As a **user**,
I want **a favorites/pinned notes section for quick access**,
so that **I can quickly find and access my most important notes**.

## Acceptance Criteria

1. **Given** a user has pinned notes in the system,
2. **When** the user views the main notes page,
3. **Then** the system should:
   - Display a "Favorites" or "Pinned" section at the top
   - Show all pinned notes in this section
   - Allow quick access to pinned notes
   - Visually distinguish pinned notes from regular notes

## Dev Notes

### Feature Description

**User Value:** Quick access to important notes without searching or scrolling through all notes.

**Design Requirements:**
- Favorites section should be at the top of the notes list
- Visually distinct from regular notes (different background, icon, etc.)
- Pinned notes show a pin icon/badge
- Section should be collapsible to save space
- On mobile, may need to be behind a tab or toggle

**UI Mockup (textual):**
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 📌 Pinned Notes                     │
│ ┌─────┐ ┌─────┐ ┌─────┐            │
│ │Note │ │Note │ │Note │            │
│ │  1  │ │  2  │ │  3  │            │
│ └─────┘ └─────┘ └─────┘            │
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 📝 All Notes                        │
│ ┌─────┐ ┌─────┐ ┌─────┐            │
│ │Note │ │Note │ │Note │            │

│ └─────┘ └─────┘ └─────┘            │
└─────────────────────────────────────┘
```

### Technical Requirements

**New Component:**
```typescript
// keep-notes/components/FavoritesSection.tsx
'use client'

import { use } from 'react'
import { getPinnedNotes } from '@/app/actions/notes'

export function FavoritesSection() {
  const pinnedNotes = use(getPinnedNotes())

  if (pinnedNotes.length === 0) {
    return null // Don't show section if no pinned notes
  }

  return (
    <section className="mb-8">
      <div className="flex items-center gap-2 mb-4">
        <span className="text-2xl">📌</span>
        <h2 className="text-xl font-semibold">Pinned Notes</h2>
      </div>
      <div className="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3 gap-4">
        {pinnedNotes.map(note => (
          <NoteCard key={note.id} note={note} isPinned={true} />
        ))}
      </div>
    </section>
  )
}
```

**Server Action:**
```typescript
// keep-notes/app/actions/notes.ts
export async function getPinnedNotes() {
  const session = await auth()
  if (!session?.user?.id) return []

  try {
    const notes = await prisma.note.findMany({
      where: {
        userId: session.user.id,
        isPinned: true,
        isArchived: false
      },
      orderBy: [
        { order: 'asc' },
        { updatedAt: 'desc' }
      ]
    })

    return notes.map(parseNote)
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error fetching pinned notes:', error)
    return []
  }
}
```

**Database Schema:**
- `Note.isPinned` field already exists (boolean)
- `Note.order` field already exists (integer)

**Files to Create:**
- `keep-notes/components/FavoritesSection.tsx` - NEW
- `keep-notes/components/PinnedNoteCard.tsx` - NEW (optional, can reuse NoteCard)

**Files to Modify:**
- `keep-notes/app/page.tsx` - Add FavoritesSection
- `keep-notes/components/NoteCard.tsx` - Add pin button/icon
- `keep-notes/app/actions/notes.ts` - Add getPinnedNotes action

### Mobile Considerations

**Mobile Layout:**
- Favorites section may need to be collapsible on mobile
- Consider a horizontal scroll for pinned notes on mobile
- Or use a tab/toggle: "All Notes | Pinned"
- Ensure touch targets are large enough (44px minimum)

**Alternative Mobile UX:**
```
┌─────────────────────────┐
│ [All Notes] [Pinned 🔗] │ ← Tabs
├─────────────────────────┤
│ Pinned Notes            │
│ ┌─────────────────────┐ │
│ │ Note 1              │ │
│ └─────────────────────┘ │
│ ┌─────────────────────┐ │
│ │ Note 2              │ │
│ └─────────────────────┘ │
└─────────────────────────┘
```

### Testing Requirements

**Verification Steps:**
1. Pin a note → appears in favorites section
2. Unpin a note → removed from favorites section
3. Pin multiple notes → all appear sorted correctly
4. No pinned notes → favorites section hidden
5. Click pinned note → opens note details
6. Mobile view → favorites section responsive and usable

**Test Cases:**
- Pin first note → appears at top of favorites
- Pin multiple notes → sorted by order/updatedAt
- Unpin note → removed immediately, UI updates
- Pinned note archived → removed from favorites
- Refresh page → pinned notes persist
