// Intersection observer hook
const { ref: loadMoreRef, inView } = useInView({
  threshold: 0,
  rootMargin: '400px', // Start loading 400px before reaching the trigger
});

// Auto-load when scrolling into view
useEffect(() => {
  if (inView && hasMore && !isLoadingMore) {
    loadMore();
  }
}, [inView, hasMore, isLoadingMore]);

// Render component
<div className="py-8">
  {/* Progress indicator */}
  <div className="text-center text-sm text-zinc-400 mb-4">
    Showing {displayedEvents.length} of {totalEvents} events

API Requirements

Initial Page Load

1. GET /api/v1/events

http

GET /api/v1/events?page=1&limit=20&filter={"workflowState":{"$in":["UPCOMING","COMPLETED","ARCHIVED"]}}&include=topics,sessions,speakers&sort=-date

Purpose: Fetch initial 20 events with sessions and speakers for event cards

Response (EventListResponse):

typescript

{
  data: [
    {
      eventId: "uuid",
      eventCode: "BATbern56",
      eventNumber: 56,
      title: "BATbern Spring 2025",
      date: "2025-05-15",
      topic: "Cloud Native Architecture",
      workflowState: "UPCOMING",
      venueName: "Bern Convention Center",
      venueCapacity: 300,
      themeImageUrl: "https://cdn.batbern.ch/events/bat56/hero.jpg",
      // From topics expansion
      topics: [
        { id: "uuid", name: "Cloud Native", code: "cloud-native" }
      ],
      // From sessions expansion (with nested speakers)
      sessions: [
        {
          sessionSlug: "kubernetes-production",
          title: "Kubernetes in Production",
          sessionType: "Keynote",
          description: "Learn how to deploy and manage Kubernetes...",
          room: "Main Hall",
          capacity: 300,
          startTime: "2025-05-15T09:15:00Z",
          endTime: "2025-05-15T10:00:00Z",
          // From speakers expansion (nested in session)
          speakers: [
            {
              username: "peter.mueller",
              firstName: "Peter",
              lastName: "Müller",
              email: "peter@swisscloud.ch",
              company: "SwissCloud AG",
              profilePictureUrl: "https://cdn.batbern.ch/speakers/peter-mueller.jpg"
            }
          ]
        },
        // ... 7 more sessions
      ]
    },
    // ... 19 more events
  ],
  pagination: {
    page: 1,
    limit: 20,
    total: 54,
    pages: 3
  }
}

Caching: 15-minute Caffeine cache on backend Performance: <500ms P95 uncached, <50ms cached Note: Sessions are limited to 8 per event max, so this expansion is efficient

2. GET /api/v1/topics

http

GET /api/v1/topics?status=ACTIVE&sort=name

Purpose: Populate topic filter checkboxes with counts

Response:

typescript

{
  data: [
    { id: "uuid", name: "Cloud", code: "cloud", eventCount: 23 },
    { id: "uuid", name: "Security", code: "security", eventCount: 18 },
    { id: "uuid", name: "AI/ML", code: "ai-ml", eventCount: 15 },
    // ...
  ]
}

Caching: 30-minute cache (topics rarely change)

3. Search Events

http

GET /api/v1/events?page=1&limit=20&filter={"$or":[{"title":{"$contains":"kubernetes"}},{"topic":{"$contains":"kubernetes"}}]}&include=analytics&sort=-date

Trigger: User types in search box (debounced 300ms) Behavior: Full-text search across title, topic, description

4. Apply Filters

http

GET /api/v1/events?page=1&limit=20&filter={"workflowState":{"$in":["COMPLETED"]},"year":{"$gte":2020,"$lte":2024},"topics":{"$in":["cloud","security"]}}&include=analytics&sort=-date

Trigger: User selects filter options Behavior: Combine all active filters with AND logic

5. Change Sort Order

http

GET /api/v1/events?page=1&limit=20&filter={...}&include=analytics&sort=-attendeeCount

Options:

Newest first: sort=-date
Oldest first: sort=date
Most attended: sort=-attendeeCount
Most sessions: sort=-sessionCount

6. Pagination (Infinite Scroll)

http

GET /api/v1/events?page=2&limit=20&filter={...}&include=topics,sessions,speakers&sort=-date

Trigger: User scrolls within 400px of bottom (intersection observer) Behavior: Automatically append to existing results Optimization: Debounce scroll events, prevent duplicate requests

7. View Archive Event Details

http

GET /api/v1/events/{eventCode}?include=topics,sessions,speakers

Purpose: Fetch complete event data for archive detail page

Response:

typescript

{
  eventId: "uuid",
  eventCode: "BATbern56",
  title: "BATbern Spring 2025",
  date: "2025-05-15",
  topic: "Cloud Native Architecture",

          profilePictureUrl: "https://cdn.batbern.ch/speakers/peter-mueller.jpg"
        }
      ],
      // Materials/attachments for this session
      materials: [
        {
          id: "uuid",
          fileName: "kubernetes-production.pdf",
          fileSize: 2458624, // bytes

State Management

URL State (React Router `useSearchParams`)

typescript

// All filters persist in URL for shareable links
const [searchParams, setSearchParams] = useSearchParams();

// Read from URL
const search = searchParams.get('q') || '';
const timePeriod = searchParams.get('period') || 'last-5-years';
const topics = searchParams.get('topics')?.split(',') || [];
const viewMode = searchParams.get('view') || 'grid';
const sortBy = searchParams.get('sort') || 'newest';

// Update URL
const updateFilters = (newFilters) => {
  const params = new URLSearchParams();
  if (newFilters.search) params.set('q', newFilters.search);
  if (newFilters.period) params.set('period', newFilters.period);
  if (newFilters.topics.length) params.set('topics', newFilters.topics.join(','));
  // ...
  setSearchParams(params);
};

Component State

typescript

// View preferences (localStorage)
const [viewMode, setViewMode] = useState<'grid' | 'list'>(
  localStorage.getItem('archive-view-mode') || 'grid'
);

// Loading states
const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(false);
const [isLoadingMore, setIsLoadingMore] = useState(false);

// Data
const [events, setEvents] = useState<EventDetail[]>([]);
const [topics, setTopics] = useState<Topic[]>([]);
const [pagination, setPagination] = useState({
  page: 1,
  limit: 20,
  total: 0,
  pages: 0
});

// Filter state
const [activeFilters, setActiveFilters] = useState({
  search: '',
  timePeriod: 'last-5-years',
  topics: []
});

React Query Integration (Infinite Scroll)

typescript

import { useInfiniteQuery } from '@tanstack/react-query';

// Infinite events query
const {
  data,
  fetchNextPage,
  hasNextPage,
  isFetchingNextPage,
  isLoading,
  error
} = useInfiniteQuery({
  queryKey: ['events', 'archive', activeFilters, sortBy],
  queryFn: ({ pageParam = 1 }) => eventApiClient.getEvents(
    { page: pageParam, limit: 20 },
    {
      year: getYearRangeFromPeriod(activeFilters.timePeriod),
      search: activeFilters.search,
      topics: activeFilters.topics
    },
    { expand: ['topics', 'sessions', 'speakers'] }
  ),
  getNextPageParam: (lastPage) => {
    const { page, pages } = lastPage.pagination;
    return page < pages ? page + 1 : undefined;
  },
  staleTime: 5 * 60 * 1000, // 5 minutes
  keepPreviousData: true // Smooth transitions
});

// Flatten all pages into single events array
const events = data?.pages.flatMap(page => page.data) ?? [];
const totalEvents = data?.pages[0]?.pagination.total ?? 0;

// Auto-load more with intersection observer
const { ref: loadMoreRef, inView } = useInView({
  threshold: 0,
  rootMargin: '400px'
});

useEffect(() => {
  if (inView && hasNextPage && !isFetchingNextPage) {
    fetchNextPage();
  }
}, [inView, hasNextPage, isFetchingNextPage, fetchNextPage]);

// Topics query
const topicsQuery = useQuery({
  queryKey: ['topics'],
  queryFn: () => topicService.getTopics({ status: 'ACTIVE' }),
  staleTime: 30 * 60 * 1000 // 30 minutes
});

    {/* Filters */}
  </nav>
  <section aria-label="Event results">
    {/* Event grid */}
  </section>
</main>

Performance Requirements

Load Time

Initial page load: <2.5s LCP (Largest Contentful Paint)
Search/filter update: <500ms
Image loading: Lazy loading with intersection observer
Pagination: <300ms

Optimization Strategies

1. Image Optimization

tsx

// Use CDN with automatic optimization
<img
  src={`${event.themeImageUrl}?w=400&h=225&q=80&fm=webp`}
  loading="lazy"
  decoding="async"
  alt={event.title}
/>

// Blur placeholder while loading
{!imageLoaded && (
  <div className="absolute inset-0 bg-zinc-800 animate-pulse" />
)}

2. Code Splitting

typescript

// Lazy load filter components
const FilterSidebar = lazy(() => import('./FilterSidebar'));
const FilterSheet = lazy(() => import('./FilterSheet'));

// Lazy load event cards below fold
const EventCard = lazy(() => import('./EventCard'));

3. Intersection Observer (for infinite scroll)

typescript

import { useInView } from 'react-intersection-observer';

const { ref: loadMoreRef, inView } = useInView({
  threshold: 0,
  rootMargin: '400px', // Start loading 400px before bottom
  triggerOnce: false // Re-trigger when scrolling back up
});

// Prevent duplicate requests with ref tracking
const loadingRef = useRef(false);

useEffect(() => {
  if (inView && hasNextPage && !isFetchingNextPage && !loadingRef.current) {
    loadingRef.current = true;
    fetchNextPage().finally(() => {
      loadingRef.current = false;
    });
  }
}, [inView, hasNextPage, isFetchingNextPage]);

4. Debounced Search

typescript

const debouncedSearch = useMemo(
  () => debounce((query: string) => {
    updateFilters({ search: query });
  }, 300),
  []
);

5. Memoization

typescript

// Memoize filtered/sorted results
const displayedEvents = useMemo(() => {
  // Client-side filtering/sorting if needed
  return events;
}, [events, activeFilters, sortBy]);

// Memoize expensive computations
const topicCounts = useMemo(() => {
  return calculateTopicCounts(events);
}, [events]);

Error States

Network Error

tsx

{error && (
  <div className="bg-red-900/20 border border-red-800 rounded-lg p-6 text-center">
    <AlertCircle className="h-12 w-12 text-red-400 mx-auto mb-4" />
    <h3 className="text-lg font-medium text-red-300 mb-2">
      Failed to load events
    </h3>
    <p className="text-sm text-zinc-400 mb-4">
      {error.message}
    </p>
    <Button
      variant="outline"
      onClick={() => refetch()}
      className="border-red-800 hover:bg-red-900/30"
    >
      Try Again
    </Button>
  </div>
)}

No Results

tsx

{!isLoading && events.length === 0 && (
  <div className="flex flex-col items-center justify-center py-24">
    <Search className="h-16 w-16 text-zinc-700 mb-4" />
    <h3 className="text-xl font-light text-zinc-300 mb-2">

      className="border-zinc-800 hover:bg-zinc-800"
    >
      Clear All Filters
    </Button>
  </div>
)}

Loading State

tsx

{isLoading && (
  <div className="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 gap-6">
    {[...Array(6)].map((_, i) => (

          </div>
        </CardContent>
      </Card>
    ))}
  </div>
)}

React Router Configuration

tsx

// Add to web-frontend/src/App.tsx or routing config

import { ArchivePage } from '@/pages/public/ArchivePage';
import { ArchiveEventDetailPage } from '@/pages/public/ArchiveEventDetailPage';

// Routes
<Routes>
  {/* Public routes */}
  <Route path="/" element={<HomePage />} />
  <Route path="/archive" element={<ArchivePage />} />
  <Route path="/archive/:eventCode" element={<ArchiveEventDetailPage />} />
  <Route path="/events/:eventCode" element={<HomePage />} /> {/* Upcoming events */}
  {/* ... other routes */}
</Routes>

Route Distinction:

/archive - Archive browse page (Story 4.2)
/archive/{eventCode} - Archive event detail (Story 4.2) - content-focused, no logistics
/events/{eventCode} - Current event detail (Story 4.1) - full page with registration, venue, map

React Query Keys

typescript

// Centralized query key factory
export const archiveKeys = {
  all: ['events', 'archive'] as const,
  lists: () => [...archiveKeys.all, 'list'] as const,
  list: (filters: ArchiveFilters, sort: string, page: number) =>
    [...archiveKeys.lists(), filters, sort, page] as const,
  details: () => [...archiveKeys.all, 'detail'] as const,
  detail: (eventCode: string) =>
    [...archiveKeys.details(), eventCode] as const,
};

Testing Scenarios

Unit Tests:

Filter logic (combining multiple filters)
Sort logic (different sort orders)
Search query parsing
URL state synchronization
Event card rendering with different data states

Integration Tests (Playwright):

typescript

test('Archive browsing flow with infinite scroll', async ({ page }) => {
  // Navigate to archive
  await page.goto('/archive');

  // Verify initial load
  await expect(page.getByText(/Showing \d+ of \d+ events/)).toBeVisible();
  await expect(page.getByRole('article')).toHaveCount(20);

  // Apply topic filter
  await page.getByLabel('Cloud').check();
  await page.waitForTimeout(500); // Wait for debounce
  await expect(page.getByRole('article')).toHaveCount(12);

  // Search
  await page.getByPlaceholder('Search events...').fill('Kubernetes');
  await page.waitForTimeout(500); // Wait for debounce
  const initialCount = await page.getByRole('article').count();
  expect(initialCount).toBeGreaterThan(0);

  // Test infinite scroll
  const initialEventCount = await page.getByRole('article').count();
  await page.evaluate(() => window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight));
  await page.waitForTimeout(1000); // Wait for load
  const newEventCount = await page.getByRole('article').count();
  expect(newEventCount).toBeGreaterThan(initialEventCount);

  // Switch to list view
  await page.getByLabel('List view').click();
  await expect(page.locator('.event-card-list')).toBeVisible();

  // View event details
  await page.getByRole('button', { name: /View Full Schedule/i }).first().click();
  await expect(page).toHaveURL(/\/events\/[A-Za-z0-9-]+/);
});

❌ SessionCount sorting (not needed - events always have 4-9 sessions)
Removed from backend: EventSearchService mapping
Removed from frontend: FilterSidebar, FilterSheet, eventApiClient tests

Performance:

All archive API calls < 500ms P95
Caffeine cache reduces response time to < 50ms for repeated queries
N+1 queries prevented with proper expansion logic
