## 🔧 Technical Changes

### 1. Component Definition

**Before (Vue 2):**
```javascript
Vue.component('tt-data-table', {
    data() {
        return { loading: false };
    },
    methods: {
        fetchData() { ... }
    }
});
```

**After (Vue 3):**
```javascript
const TtDataTable = {
    name: 'TtDataTable',
    props: { ... },
    setup(props, { emit }) {
        const { ref } = Vue;
        const loading = ref(false);

        const fetchData = () => { ... };

        return { loading, fetchData };
    }
};

// Register on app instance
if (window.VueApp) {
    window.VueApp.component('tt-data-table', TtDataTable);
}
```

### 2. Lifecycle Hooks

| Vue 2 | Vue 3 Composition API |
|-------|----------------------|
| `mounted()` | `onMounted(() => {})` |
| `beforeDestroy()` | `onBeforeUnmount(() => {})` |
| `destroyed()` | `onUnmounted(() => {})` |
| `updated()` | `onUpdated(() => {})` |

### 3. Reactivity System

**Before (Vue 2):**
```javascript
data() {
    return {
        count: 0,
        user: { name: 'John' }
    };
}
```

**After (Vue 3 Composition API):**
```javascript
setup() {
    const count = ref(0);
    const user = reactive({ name: 'John' });

    return { count, user };
}
```

### 4. v-model Changes

**Vue 2:**
- `value` prop + `input` event

**Vue 3:**
- `modelValue` prop + `update:modelValue` event

**TT-Core Solution:**
All components support both automatically!

### 5. Composables

**New in Vue 3:**
```javascript
// Use composables in setup()
const { data, isLoading, fetchData } = TT_CORE.useAsyncData();

// Composables return reactive refs
const { visibleItems, sentinelRef } = TT_CORE.useInfiniteScroll(items, {
    initialCount: 50
});
```

**Backward Compatible:**
```javascript
// Mixins still work in Options API
export default {
    mixins: [TT_CORE.createAsyncDataMixin()]
}
```

## 📦 Component Updates

### All 8 Components Upgraded

1. **`<tt-data-table>`**
   - ✅ Vue 3 Composition API
   - ✅ No breaking changes in props/events
   - ✅ Same template slots

2. **`<tt-status-chip>`**
   - ✅ Vue 3 Composition API
   - ✅ Intersection Observer for lazy loading
   - ✅ Better performance

3. **`<tt-loading-indicator>`**
   - ✅ Vue 3 Simple component
   - ✅ No setup() needed (no state)

4. **`<tt-skeleton>`**
   - ✅ Vue 3 Simple component
   - ✅ Pure props-based rendering

5. **`<tt-smart-autocomplete>`**
   - ✅ Vue 3 Composition API
   - ✅ v-model support (modelValue)
   - ✅ Debounced fetching with refs

6. **`<tt-file-dropzone>`**
   - ✅ Vue 3 Composition API
   - ✅ Drag counter using ref

7. **`<tt-dialog>`**
   - ✅ Vue 3 Composition API
   - ✅ Portal rendering to body
   - ✅ Watch for show prop changes

8. **`<tt-view-switcher>`**
   - ✅ Vue 3 Composition API
   - ✅ v-model support (modelValue)
   - ✅ Computed property for currentView

## 🎨 Composables API

### Three Modern Composables

**1. useIntersectionObserver**
```javascript
const { targetRef } = TT_CORE.useIntersectionObserver((entry) => {
    console.log('Visible!', entry);
}, { threshold: 0.1 });
```

**2. useInfiniteScroll**
```javascript
const items = ref([...1000 items]);
const {
    visibleItems,     // Computed - first N items
    sentinelRef,      // Template ref for observer
    hasMore,          // Boolean - more items available
    loadMore          // Function - load next batch
} = TT_CORE.useInfiniteScroll(items, {
    initialCount: 50,
    incrementBy: 25
});
```

**3. useAsyncData**
```javascript
const {
    data,           // Ref - fetched data
    isLoading,      // Ref - loading state
    hasError,       // Ref - error state
    errorMessage,   // Ref - error message
    fetchData,      // Function - fetch from URL
    executeAsync,   // Function - execute any async fn
    reset           // Function - reset all state
} = TT_CORE.useAsyncData();

await fetchData('/api/users');
```

## 🔄 Migration Path

### For Vue 2 Users

**Option 1: Stay on Options API**
```javascript
// No changes needed! Mixins still work
export default {
    mixins: [TT_CORE.createInfiniteScrollMixin()],
    data() {
        return { users: [] };
    }
}
```

**Option 2: Migrate to Composition API (Recommended)**
```vue
<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue';

const users = ref([]);
const { visibleItems } = TT_CORE.useInfiniteScroll(users);
</script>
```

### For New Projects

Use Composition API from the start:

```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/public/plugins/vue/tt-core/styles/tt-core.css">
    <script src="https://unpkg.com/vue@3/dist/vue.global.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="app">
        <tt-data-table :items="users">...</tt-data-table>
    </div>

    <script src="/public/plugins/vue/tt-core/index.js" type="module"></script>
    <script src="/public/plugins/vue/tt-core/components/data-display/TtDataTable.js"></script>

    <script>
        const { createApp, ref } = Vue;

        const app = createApp({
            setup() {
                const users = ref([...]);
                return { users };
            }
        });

        // CRITICAL: Register components
        TT_CORE.registerComponents(app);

        app.mount('#app');
    </script>
</body>
</html>
```

## 📊 Impact on Radius Module

### Code Reduction (When Using TT-Core)

**Before:**
```
Radius.js:  1500 lines (utilities + components + page logic)
Radius.css: 275 lines (all styles)
Total:      1775 lines
```

**After:**
```
Radius.js:  ~100 lines (page logic only)
Radius.css: ~50 lines (page-specific only)
Total:      ~150 lines ⬇️ 92%

+ TT-Core:  ~2500 lines (reusable across ALL modules!)
```

### Migration Checklist for Radius

- [ ] Replace `new Vue()` with `createApp()`
- [ ] Call `TT_CORE.registerComponents(app)`
- [ ] Replace `window.RadiusUtils.*` → `window.TT_CORE.*`
- [ ] Rename components:
  - `radius-table-view` → `tt-data-table`
  - `radius-online-state` → `tt-status-chip`
  - `radius-file-drop` → `tt-file-dropzone`
  - etc.
- [ ] Update `v-model` usage (automatic for TT-Core components)
- [ ] Remove duplicate utilities and components
- [ ] Test all functionality

## 🎓 What We Learned

### Vue 3 Best Practices
1. **Composition API is powerful** - Better code organization
2. **Refs need .value** - Access reactive values correctly
3. **Lifecycle hooks are functions** - `onMounted()` not `mounted()`
4. **Multiple root elements** - Fragments work automatically
5. **v-model is modelValue** - But backward compatible

### Component Design
1. **Reusability matters** - Extract common patterns
2. **Props > State** - Make components controlled
3. **Slots are flexible** - Allow content customization
4. **Emit events** - Let parents handle logic
5. **Document everything** - JSDoc and README

### Performance
1. **Lazy load wisely** - Intersection observers are great
2. **Debounce inputs** - Reduce API calls
3. **Virtual scrolling** - Infinite scroll for large lists
4. **CSS variables** - Fast theme updates
5. **Module imports** - Better tree-shaking
