# TurboTrades Frontend - All Fixes Applied

## 🔧 Issues Fixed

### 1. Tailwind CSS Error: `border-border` class

**Error:**
```
[postcss] The `border-border` class does not exist
```

**Location:** `src/assets/main.css:7`

**Fix Applied:**
```css
/* BEFORE */
* {
  @apply border-border;
}

/* AFTER */
* {
  @apply border-surface-lighter;
}
```

**Reason:** The `border-border` class was undefined. Changed to use the existing `border-surface-lighter` color from our design system.

**Status:** ✅ Fixed

---

### 2. Tailwind CSS Error: `group` utility with `@apply`

**Error:**
```
[postcss] @apply should not be used with the 'group' utility
```

**Location:** `src/assets/main.css:172`

**Fix Applied:**
```css
/* BEFORE */
.item-card {
  @apply card card-hover relative overflow-hidden group;
}

/* AFTER */
.item-card {
  @apply card card-hover relative overflow-hidden;
}
```

Then added `group` class directly in the HTML components:

**HomePage.vue:**
```vue
<!-- BEFORE -->
<div class="item-card">

<!-- AFTER -->
<div class="item-card group">
```

**MarketPage.vue:**
```vue
<!-- BEFORE -->
<div class="item-card">

<!-- AFTER -->
<div class="item-card group">
```

**Reason:** Tailwind CSS doesn't allow behavioral utilities like `group` to be used with `@apply`. The `group` class must be applied directly in the HTML to enable hover effects on child elements.

**Status:** ✅ Fixed

### 3. Vue Directive Error: `v-click-away`

**Error:**
```
Failed to resolve directive: click-away
```

**Location:** `src/components/NavBar.vue:158`

**Fix Applied:**
- Removed `v-click-away="() => showUserMenu = false"` directive
- Implemented manual click-outside detection using native JavaScript
- Added `userMenuRef` ref to track the dropdown element
- Added `handleClickOutside` function with event listener
- Properly cleanup event listener in `onUnmounted`

**Code:**
```vue
<script setup>
// Added
const userMenuRef = ref(null)

const handleClickOutside = (event) => {
  if (userMenuRef.value && !userMenuRef.value.contains(event.target)) {
    showUserMenu.value = false
  }
}

onMounted(() => {
  document.addEventListener('click', handleClickOutside)
})

onUnmounted(() => {
  document.removeEventListener('click', handleClickOutside)
})
</script>

<template>
  <!-- Added ref to wrapper div -->
  <div v-if="authStore.isAuthenticated" class="relative" ref="userMenuRef">
    <!-- Removed v-click-away from dropdown -->
    <div v-if="showUserMenu" class="absolute right-0 mt-2...">
      ...
    </div>
  </div>
</template>
```

**Reason:** The `v-click-away` directive doesn't exist in Vue 3 core. We implemented the same functionality using standard Vue 3 composition API patterns.

**Status:** ✅ Fixed

---

### 4. Duplicate Variable Declarations

**Location:** `src/components/NavBar.vue`

**Fix Applied:**
Removed duplicate declarations of:
- `router`
- `authStore`
- `showMobileMenu`
- `showUserMenu`
- `searchQuery`

**Reason:** Variables were declared twice due to editing error. Kept only one declaration of each.

**Status:** ✅ Fixed

---

### 5. CSS Theme Function Quotes

**Location:** `src/assets/main.css` (multiple lines)

**Fix Applied:**
```css
/* BEFORE */
scrollbar-color: theme('colors.surface.lighter') theme('colors.surface.DEFAULT');

/* AFTER */
scrollbar-color: theme("colors.surface.lighter") theme("colors.surface.DEFAULT");
```

**Reason:** PostCSS prefers double quotes for theme() function calls. Changed all single quotes to double quotes for consistency.

**Status:** ✅ Fixed
