Description

Adds an in-app notification center to the Navbar (issue #179). Users see a bell icon with an unread count badge; clicking it opens a dropdown list of their notifications with mark-as-read and mark-all-read actions.

Changes

Migration (src/lib/migrations/004_notifications.sql)

  • New notifications table: user_id, type, title, body, payload (JSONB), read_at, created_at
  • RLS policies (users only see/edit their own), indexes for fast unread count

Core logic (src/lib/notifications.ts)

  • notificationDraftFromEvent(event) — pure function mapping ProtocolEvent → display-ready notification draft (7 event types: offer received/accepted/rejected/withdrawn, invoice repaid/cancelled/overdue/defaulted)
  • insertNotification / fetchNotifications / unreadCount / markAsRead / markAllRead — Supabase CRUD helpers

Hooks (src/hooks/useNotifications.ts)

  • useNotifications() — keeper-style polling (15s fallback, event-driven cache invalidation when connected)
  • useUnreadCount() — lightweight unread counter for the Navbar badge
  • useNotificationSeeder() — seeds notifications from the global protocol event stream (deduped by txHash + type)

UI (src/components/NotificationBell.tsx)

  • Bell icon with unread red badge (caps at 99+)
  • Dropdown panel: notification list (newest first, unread items highlighted), mark-all-read button, empty state
  • Same click-outside-to-close pattern as the keyboard-shortcuts help popover

Integration

  • Added <NotificationBell /> to the Navbar (right side, next to connection indicator)
  • <NotificationSeeder /> mounted in the root Providers so it runs once app-wide
  • i18n strings added to messages/en.json

Tests — 21 total (14 lib + 7 component), all passing

  • lib/__tests__/notifications.test.ts: every event type → correct draft, wallet targeting, SEEDABLE_TYPES coverage
  • components/__tests__/NotificationBell.test.tsx: bell rendering, unread badge, panel open/close, empty state, mark-as-read actions

Acceptance

  • Offer received / accepted / repayment events produce notifications (via useNotificationSeeder)
  • Badge updates without full page refresh (react-query cache invalidation on event or poll)
  • Empty state handled

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added an in-app notifications center accessible from the navigation bar.
    • Displays unread counts, notification details, relative timestamps, and empty states.
    • Supports marking individual notifications or all notifications as read.
    • Automatically surfaces relevant activity notifications and keeps them updated.
    • Added accessible controls and multiple ways to dismiss the notification panel.

…tellar-VaultLink#179)

Adds a notification center to the Navbar:
- notifications Supabase table (migration 004) with RLS and portable schema
- lib/notifications.ts: pure event-to-draft mapping + persistence helpers
- useNotifications / useUnreadCount hooks with keeper-style polling
- useNotificationSeeder: seeds notifications from protocol events
- NotificationBell component: unread badge, panel list, mark-as-read,
  mark-all-read, empty state
- 21 new unit/component tests (14 lib + 7 component)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds an in-app notification system. Protocol events create persisted notifications. React Query hooks fetch and update notification state. A navbar bell displays unread counts, notification details, and read actions.

Changes

In-app notifications

Layer / File(s) Summary
Notification contracts and persistence
invofi/apps/frontend/src/types/index.ts, invofi/apps/frontend/src/lib/migrations/004_notifications.sql, invofi/apps/frontend/src/lib/notifications.ts, invofi/apps/frontend/src/lib/__tests__/notifications.test.ts
Defines notification types and records. Adds the notifications table, indexes, and user-scoped RLS policies. Maps protocol events to drafts and provides persistence and read-state helpers.
Event seeding and query synchronization
invofi/apps/frontend/src/hooks/useNotifications.ts, invofi/apps/frontend/src/components/layout/Providers.tsx
Adds notification queries, unread counts, polling, event invalidation, mutations, and bounded event deduplication. Mounts the notification seeder within WalletProvider.
Notification bell and navbar integration
invofi/apps/frontend/src/components/NotificationBell.tsx, invofi/apps/frontend/src/components/layout/Navbar.tsx, invofi/apps/frontend/messages/en.json, invofi/apps/frontend/src/components/__tests__/NotificationBell.test.tsx
Adds the notification dropdown, unread badge, relative timestamps, read actions, dismissal behavior, localization strings, navbar integration, and component tests.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 2714c

The notification center currently cannot reliably create notifications because row-level security rejects inserts without an owner, and event seeding can attach another wallet’s notifications to the current user. These correctness and data-isolation issues should be fixed before merging.

The doc comment does not match the query order.

Lines 203-205 state "unread first, newest first". The query orders by created_at only, so read and unread rows interleave. The index notifications_user_idx (user_id, read_at, created_at desc) supports the documented order. Either add the read_at ordering or correct the comment.

♻️ Order unread rows first
       .select('*')
+      .order('read_at', { ascending: true, nullsFirst: true })
       .order('created_at', { ascending: false })

Use the Notifications message keys instead of hardcoded English strings.

This PR adds Notifications.title, markAllRead, emptyTitle, emptyDesc, aria, ariaUnread, justNow, minutesAgo, hoursAgo, and daysAgo to invofi/apps/frontend/messages/en.json (Lines 113-123). The component never calls useTranslations, so all of those keys stay unused and users of other locales see English text. Navbar.tsx already uses useTranslations('Navbar') for its labels.

Wire useTranslations('Notifications') through the aria labels, header, empty state, and timeAgo output.

The dedup key lives only in component memory, so reloads and extra tabs create duplicate rows.

seededRef resets on every mount. Two open tabs, or one reload while events stream, insert the same (txHash, type) notification more than once. The draft payload also omits txHash, so no database-level idempotency is possible, and the payload doc comment in src/types/index.ts Line 198 claims tx_hash is present.

Add txHash to the draft payload and enforce uniqueness in the database, for example a unique index on (user_id, type, (payload->>'tx_hash')).

Destructure useEventSubscription() once. Each invocation runs its own effect and calls listenToEvents, creating two polling subscriptions with separate state and deduplication sets. Destructure both status and lastEvent from one call.

Filter targeted drafts by the connected wallet before inserting them.

useNotificationSeeder receives global events and inserts every non-null draft. insertNotification writes the row for the current authenticated user, while notificationDraftFromEvent sets forWallet for events such as off_acc and inv_cxl. Users can therefore persist notifications about other wallets. Apply draftTargetsWallet using useWallet().publicKey before calling insertNotification.

Notification rows never get an owner, so RLS rejects the insert and hides the row. Migration 004 requires auth.uid() = user_id for both insert and select, while user_id is nullable with no default and the client insert omits it. The notification center therefore stays empty and the insert error is swallowed.

  • invofi/apps/frontend/src/lib/migrations/004_notifications.sql#L18-L20: add default auth.uid() to the user_id column, or document that only a service-role indexer writes owner-less rows and adjust the select policy so those rows are reachable.
