Issue #54: Dynamic Placeholder System

Status: 📋 Planned (Post Phase 0c) Priorität: Medium Aufwand: 6-8h Erstellt: 28. März 2026 Abhängigkeiten: Phase 0c ✅

---

Problem

Aktuell (Phase 0b/0c):

# backend/placeholder_resolver.py

PLACEHOLDER_FUNCTIONS = {
    "weight_aktuell": resolve_weight_aktuell,
    "weight_trend": resolve_weight_trend,
    # ... 50+ manual entries ...
}

def get_placeholder_catalog(profile_id: str):
    placeholders = {
        'Körper': [
            ('weight_aktuell', 'Aktuelles Gewicht in kg'),
            ('weight_trend', 'Gewichtstrend (7d/30d)'),
            # ... 50+ manual entries ...
        ],
    }

Probleme:

• ❌ Neue Platzhalter erfordern 3 Code-Änderungen:
  1. Funktion implementieren
  2. In PLACEHOLDER_FUNCTIONS registrieren
  3. In get_placeholder_catalog() dokumentieren
• ❌ Fehleranfällig (vergisst man einen Schritt → Bug)
• ❌ Katalog kann out-of-sync mit tatsächlich verfügbaren Platzhaltern sein
• ❌ Keine Introspection möglich (welche Platzhalter gibt es?)

---

Lösung: Auto-Discovery mit Decorators

Konzept

# 1. Decorator registriert Funktionen automatisch
@placeholder(
    name="weight_aktuell",
    category="Körper",
    description="Aktuelles Gewicht in kg"
)
def resolve_weight_aktuell(profile_id: str) -> str:
    ...

# 2. Registry sammelt alle registrierten Platzhalter
PLACEHOLDER_REGISTRY = {}  # Wird automatisch gefüllt

# 3. Katalog wird aus Registry generiert
def get_placeholder_catalog():
    return generate_catalog_from_registry()

Vorteile:

• ✅ Nur 1 Stelle zu ändern (Decorator über Funktion)
• ✅ Auto-Sync: Katalog immer aktuell
• ✅ Introspection: Alle verfügbaren Platzhalter abrufbar
• ✅ Metadata direkt bei Funktion (Single Source of Truth)

Step 2: Platzhalter mit Decorator versehen (3-4h)

Migration-Strategie:

# ALT (Phase 0b/0c):
def resolve_weight_aktuell(profile_id: str) -> str:
    """Returns current weight"""
    ...

PLACEHOLDER_FUNCTIONS = {
    "weight_aktuell": resolve_weight_aktuell,
}


# NEU (Issue #54):
@placeholder(
    name="weight_aktuell",
    category="Körper",
    description="Aktuelles Gewicht in kg",
    example="85.3 kg"
)
def resolve_weight_aktuell(profile_id: str) -> str:
    """Returns current weight"""
    ...

# PLACEHOLDER_FUNCTIONS wird nicht mehr benötigt!

Alle ~50 Platzhalter konvertieren:

# Profil
@placeholder(name="name", category="Profil", description="Name des Nutzers")
def resolve_name(profile_id: str) -> str: ...

@placeholder(name="age", category="Profil", description="Alter in Jahren")
def resolve_age(profile_id: str) -> str: ...

# Körper
@placeholder(name="weight_aktuell", category="Körper", description="Aktuelles Gewicht in kg")
def resolve_weight_aktuell(profile_id: str) -> str: ...

@placeholder(name="weight_7d_median", category="Körper", description="Gewicht 7d Median (kg)")
def resolve_weight_7d_median(profile_id: str) -> str: ...

# ... etc. für alle 50+ Platzhalter

Router in main.py registrieren:

# backend/main.py

from routers import placeholders  # NEU

app.include_router(placeholders.router)

Step 4: Frontend Integration (1-2h)

Placeholder Browser Komponente:

// frontend/src/components/PlaceholderBrowser.jsx

import { useState, useEffect } from 'react'
import { api } from '../utils/api'

export default function PlaceholderBrowser({ onSelect }) {
  const [catalog, setCatalog] = useState({})
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true)
  const [searchTerm, setSearchTerm] = useState('')

  useEffect(() => {
    loadCatalog()
  }, [])

  async function loadCatalog() {
    try {
      const data = await api.getPlaceholderCatalog(true)  // with examples
      setCatalog(data)
    } catch (err) {
      console.error('Failed to load catalog:', err)
    } finally {
      setLoading(false)
    }
  }

  function filterPlaceholders() {
    if (!searchTerm) return catalog

    const filtered = {}
    for (const [category, items] of Object.entries(catalog)) {
      const matching = items.filter(p =>
        p.key.toLowerCase().includes(searchTerm.toLowerCase()) ||
        p.description.toLowerCase().includes(searchTerm.toLowerCase())
      )
      if (matching.length > 0) {
        filtered[category] = matching
      }
    }
    return filtered
  }

  if (loading) return <div className="spinner" />

  const filteredCatalog = filterPlaceholders()

  return (
    <div className="placeholder-browser">
      <input
        type="text"
        placeholder="Platzhalter suchen..."
        value={searchTerm}
        onChange={(e) => setSearchTerm(e.target.value)}
        className="form-input"
      />

      {Object.entries(filteredCatalog).map(([category, items]) => (
        <div key={category} className="category-section">
          <h3>{category}</h3>
          <div className="placeholder-grid">
            {items.map(p => (
              <div
                key={p.key}
                className="placeholder-card"
                onClick={() => onSelect && onSelect(p.placeholder)}
              >
                <div className="placeholder-key">{p.placeholder}</div>
                <div className="placeholder-desc">{p.description}</div>
                {p.example !== 'N/A' && (
                  <div className="placeholder-example">
                    Beispiel: {p.example}
                  </div>
                )}
              </div>
            ))}
          </div>
        </div>
      ))}
    </div>
  )
}

API Functions hinzufügen:

// frontend/src/utils/api.js

export const api = {
  // ... existing functions ...

  // Placeholder System
  getPlaceholderCatalog: async (withExamples = false) => {
    return await apiFetch(`/api/placeholders/catalog?with_examples=${withExamples}`)
  },

  listPlaceholders: async () => {
    return await apiFetch('/api/placeholders/list')
  },

  getPlaceholderMetadata: async (name) => {
    return await apiFetch(`/api/placeholders/metadata/${name}`)
  },

  resolvePlaceholders: async (template) => {
    return await apiFetch('/api/placeholders/resolve', {
      method: 'POST',
      body: JSON.stringify({ template })
    })
  }
}

Migration-Plan

Phase 1: Backwards Compatible (2h)

# Beide Systeme parallel unterstützen

# 1. Decorator-System implementieren
@placeholder(...)
def resolve_weight_aktuell(profile_id: str) -> str: ...

# 2. Legacy PLACEHOLDER_FUNCTIONS weiter unterstützen
PLACEHOLDER_FUNCTIONS = PLACEHOLDER_REGISTRY  # Alias

# 3. get_placeholder_catalog() nutzt Registry

Phase 2: Migration (3h)

# Alle 50+ Platzhalter mit Decorator versehen
# Ein Commit pro Kategorie:
# - commit 1: Profil (5 Platzhalter)
# - commit 2: Körper (12 Platzhalter)
# - commit 3: Ernährung (10 Platzhalter)
# - commit 4: Training (10 Platzhalter)
# - commit 5: Schlaf & Erholung (8 Platzhalter)
# - commit 6: Vitalwerte (6 Platzhalter)
# - commit 7: Rest (Scores, Focus Areas, Zeitraum)

Phase 3: Cleanup (1h)

# Legacy Code entfernen
# - PLACEHOLDER_FUNCTIONS Dictionary löschen
# - Alte get_placeholder_catalog() Logik löschen

Ausblick: Future Enhancements

Auto-Discovery von Data Layer Funktionen

Nach Phase 0c: Data Layer Funktionen könnten automatisch als Platzhalter erkannt werden:

# backend/data_layer/body_metrics.py

@data_function(
    provides_placeholders=[
        ("weight_7d_median", "Gewicht 7d Median (kg)"),
        ("weight_28d_slope", "Gewichtstrend 28d (kg/Tag)"),
    ]
)
def get_weight_trend_data(profile_id: str, days: int = 90) -> dict:
    ...

# Automatisch generierte Platzhalter:
@placeholder(name="weight_7d_median", category="Körper", description="...")
def resolve_weight_7d_median(profile_id: str) -> str:
    data = get_weight_trend_data(profile_id, days=7)
    return f"{data['rolling_median_7d'][-1][1]:.1f} kg"

Vorteil: Data Layer Funktionen automatisch als Platzhalter verfügbar.
