# Station Search Page Implementation Plan
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Goal:** Build a public Livewire page at `/stations` where users search for nearby petrol stations by location, fuel type, and radius.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Architecture:** A classic two-file Livewire component (`StationSearch`) renders a search form and handles submission by calling `/api/stations` server-side via Laravel's `Http` facade. The API key stays on the server. Results are displayed as a list below the form.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Tech Stack:** Laravel 11, Livewire 4 (classic), Flux UI v2, Tailwind CSS v4, Pest v4
|
||||||

## File Map
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Action | Path | Responsibility |
|
||||||
|
|---|---|---|
|
||||||
|
| Modify | `config/services.php` | Add `fuelalert.api_key` entry |
|

|
||||||
|
| Modify | `routes/web.php` | Add public `GET /stations` route |
|
||||||
|
| Create | `app/Livewire/Public/StationSearch.php` | Component: properties, validation, `findStations()` |
|
||||||
|
| Create | `resources/views/livewire/public/station-search.blade.php` | Form, loading state, meta bar, results list, error/empty states |
|
||||||

## Task 1: Config, env, and route
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Files:**
|
||||||
|
- Modify: `config/services.php`
|
||||||
|
- Modify: `.env.example`
|
||||||
|
- Modify: `routes/web.php`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- [ ] **Step 1: Add fuelalert config to services.php**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In `config/services.php`, add after the `fred` block:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```php
|
||||||
|
'fuelalert' => [
|
||||||
|
'api_key' => env('FUELALERT_API_KEY'),
|
||||||
|
],
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- [ ] **Step 2: Document env key in .env.example**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Append to `.env.example`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
FUELALERT_API_KEY=
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- [ ] **Step 3: Register the public route**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In `routes/web.php`, add before `require __DIR__.'/settings.php';`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```php
|
||||||
|
use App\Livewire\Public\StationSearch;
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Route::get('/stations', StationSearch::class)->name('stations.search');
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Also add the import at the top of the `use` block with the other imports.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
git add config/services.php .env.example routes/web.php
|
||||||
|
git commit -m "feat: add fuelalert config and public /stations route"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Task 2: Write failing tests
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Files:**
|
||||||
|
- Create: `tests/Feature/Livewire/StationSearchTest.php`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- [ ] **Step 1: Create the test file**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
php artisan make:test --pest Livewire/StationSearchTest
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- [ ] **Step 2: Replace the generated file contents**

Expected: all fail with `Class "App\Livewire\Public\StationSearch" not found` or similar.

## Task 3: Implement the component class
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Files:**
|
||||||
|
- Create: `app/Livewire/Public/StationSearch.php`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- [ ] **Step 1: Create the directory and component**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
php artisan make:livewire Public/StationSearch --no-interaction
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- [ ] **Step 2: Replace the generated class with the full implementation**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```php
|
||||||
|
<?php
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
namespace App\Livewire\Public;
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;
|
||||||
|
use Livewire\Attributes\Validate;

|
use Livewire\Component;
|

|
|

|
class StationSearch extends Component

|
||||||
|
public string $search = '';
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#[Validate('required|string', message: 'Please select a fuel type.')]
|

|
public string $fuelType = '';

$this->results = [];
|
||||||
|
$this->meta = [];
|
||||||
|
$this->apiError = null;
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$radiusKm = round($this->radius * 1.60934, 2);
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$response = Http::timeout(10)
|
||||||
|
->withHeaders(['X-Api-Key' => config('services.fuelalert.api_key')])
|
||||||
|
->get(url('/api/stations'), [
|
||||||
|
'postcode' => $this->search,
|
||||||
|
'fuel_type' => $this->fuelType,
|
||||||
|
'radius' => $radiusKm,
|
||||||
|
'sort' => 'price',
|
||||||
|
]);
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
if ($response->status() === 422) {
|
||||||
|
$errors = $response->json('errors', []);
|
||||||
|
$this->apiError = collect($errors)->flatten()->first()
|
||||||
|
?? $response->json('message', 'Validation error.');
|

|
|

}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$this->results = $response->json('data', []);
|
||||||
|
$this->meta = $response->json('meta', []);
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
public function render(): \Illuminate\View\View
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
return view('livewire.public.station-search');
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- [ ] **Step 3: Run tests — most should pass, view tests may still fail**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
php artisan test --compact tests/Feature/Livewire/StationSearchTest.php
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Expected: 6–7 pass, the `renders the station search form` test may fail until the view exists.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- [ ] **Step 4: Format**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
vendor/bin/pint app/Livewire/Public/StationSearch.php --format agent
|
||||||
|
```
|

|

||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Task 4: Implement the view
|
||||||
|
|

|
**Files:**
|
||||||
|
- Modify: `resources/views/livewire/public/station-search.blade.php` (generated in Task 3, now replace contents)

- [ ] **Step 2: Run all tests — all should pass**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
php artisan test --compact tests/Feature/Livewire/StationSearchTest.php
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Expected: all 7 tests pass.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- [ ] **Step 3: Format both files**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
vendor/bin/pint app/Livewire/Public/StationSearch.php resources/views/livewire/public/station-search.blade.php --format agent
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- [ ] **Step 4: Confirm page loads in browser**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Visit `https://fuel-price.test/stations` — form should render with all three fields and a Search button.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
git add app/Livewire/Public/StationSearch.php resources/views/livewire/public/station-search.blade.php
|
||||||
|
git commit -m "feat: implement StationSearch Livewire component and view"
|
||||||
