# Plan: Push Notifications Toggle on Draft Page
## Overview
Add a toggle to the draft page sidebar that enables browser push notifications for draft events. When enabled, the user receives desktop notifications when:
1. **It's their turn to pick** (highest priority)
2. **A pick is made by any team** (so they can track the draft from another tab/window)
This uses the **Browser Notification API** (`Notification.requestPermission()` + `new Notification()`), which is the right fit because:
- Users already have an active Socket.IO connection on the draft page
- The primary use case is "I have the draft tab open but I'm looking at another tab/window"
- No server-side push infrastructure, service workers, or VAPID keys needed
- Simple, client-side-only feature — no database changes required
## Implementation Steps
### 1. Create `NotificationSettings` component
**New file:** `app/components/NotificationSettings.tsx`
A toggle switch component (mirroring `AutodraftSettings.tsx` pattern) that:
- Shows a Switch toggle labeled "Notifications"
- On first enable: calls `Notification.requestPermission()` to request browser permission
- Stores the enabled/disabled preference in `localStorage` (keyed per season, e.g. `draftNotifications-{seasonId}`)
- Shows a small help message if the browser permission is `denied`
- Handles the case where the Notification API is unavailable (e.g. insecure context) by hiding the toggle entirely
- Receives no server props — this is entirely client-side state
**Props:**
```typescript
interface NotificationSettingsProps {
seasonId: string;
enabled: boolean;
onEnabledChange: (enabled: boolean) => void;
}
```
### 2. Create `useDraftNotifications` hook
**New file:** `app/hooks/useDraftNotifications.ts`
Custom hook that:
- Manages the notification enabled/disabled state (persisted to `localStorage`)
- Checks browser support for Notification API on mount
- Returns `{ notificationsEnabled, setNotificationsEnabled, isSupported }`
- The actual notification firing will happen in the draft page component where socket events are already handled
### 3. Wire into the draft page
**Modify:** `app/routes/leagues/$leagueId.draft.$seasonId.tsx`
- Import and use `useDraftNotifications` hook
- In the existing `handlePickMade` socket handler (line ~359), add logic:
- If notifications are enabled and `document.hidden` (tab is not focused):
- Fire a `new Notification()` with the pick info (e.g. "Team X drafted Player Y")
- If the pick means it's now the current user's turn, fire a more urgent notification ("It's your turn to pick!")
- Pass notification state down to the `QueueSection` component
### 4. Add toggle to the sidebar
**Modify:** `app/components/draft/QueueSection.tsx`
- Add the `NotificationSettings` component below the `AutodraftSettings` component (inside the same sidebar section)
- Accept new props for notification state
## UI Placement
The toggle will sit in the sidebar's queue section, right below the existing Autodraft toggle:
```
┌─────────────────────────┐
│ My Queue │
│ ┌─────────────────────┐ │
│ │ 1. Player A [×] │ │
│ │ 2. Player B [×] │ │
│ └─────────────────────┘ │
│ │
│ ─── Autodraft ──── [·] │
│ ○ Next Pick │
│ ○ While On │
│ │
│ ─── Notifications ─ [·] │ ← NEW
│ │
└─────────────────────────┘
```
## Notification Content
| Event | Condition | Title | Body |
|-------|-----------|-------|------|
| Pick made | Tab not focused, notifications on | "{League} Draft" | "{TeamName} picked {ParticipantName}" |
| Your turn | Tab not focused, notifications on, it's now user's turn | "{League} Draft" | "It's your turn to pick!" |
Notifications will include `{ tag: "draft-{seasonId}" }` so they replace each other rather than stacking.
## Edge Cases Handled
- **Notification API not available** (HTTP, unsupported browser): Toggle hidden entirely via `isSupported` check
- **Permission denied**: Show inline message "Notifications blocked by browser. Update in browser settings."
- **Permission not yet requested**: Request on first toggle enable
- **Tab is focused**: Don't fire notifications (user can already see the draft)
- **SSR**: All Notification API checks guarded with `typeof window !== "undefined"`
## Files Changed
| File | Change |
|------|--------|
| `app/hooks/useDraftNotifications.ts` | **New** — hook for notification state + localStorage persistence |
| `app/components/NotificationSettings.tsx` | **New** — toggle UI component |
| `app/components/draft/QueueSection.tsx` | **Modified** — add NotificationSettings below AutodraftSettings |
| `app/routes/leagues/$leagueId.draft.$seasonId.tsx` | **Modified** — use hook, fire notifications in socket handlers, pass props to QueueSection |
## What This Does NOT Include
- **Server-side web push** (VAPID keys, web-push library, service worker, push subscriptions table) — not needed for the core use case. Can be added later if users want notifications when the tab is completely closed.
- **Sound notifications** — could be added as a follow-up.
- **Granular notification preferences** (per-event toggles) — a single on/off toggle is sufficient for v1. Can be expanded later.
- **Database storage** — preference stored in localStorage since it's device-specific and doesn't need to sync across devices.
