[PB-7047]: feat/show the photos of a month grouped by day by xabg2 · Pull Request #2288 · internxt/drive-web

xabg2 · 2026-11-05T13:45:08Z

Description

The Photos page now shows the backed-up photos of the selected month (the newest one by default), grouped by day and newest first. Days are labelled "Today", "Yesterday" or with the full date in the user's language. Photos from every device are mixed by default, and the device and month filters narrow what is shown. While the photos load the grid placeholder is shown, and if they cannot be loaded the user can try again. Trashed and deleted files are left out.

Each photo is shown as a tile with its file type icon; real thumbnails come in a later PR. The month and day are read from the backup folders created by the mobile app, which are now trusted as they are instead of being filtered by name.

Checklist

Changes have been tested locally.
Unit tests have been written or updated as necessary.
The code adheres to the repository's coding standards.
Relevant documentation has been added or updated.
No new warnings or errors have been introduced.
SonarCloud issues have been reviewed and addressed.
QA Passed

Testing Process

Unit tests cover the photos of a month (day taken from its folder, trashed and deleted files left out, paged results, months without day folders), the gallery showing the newest month day by day, picking an older month, photos from several devices on the same day, retrying a failed load, and the "Today"/"Yesterday" labels.

Additional Notes

The page is still not linked from the sidebar. If PB-7089 is accepted, only the folder service changes; the rest of the page stays the same.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Browse photos in a timeline grouped by day, with the newest photos and days shown first.
- View photos across devices on the same day and switch between available months.
- See “Today” and “Yesterday” labels, with photo timeline and filter labels available in additional languages.
- Photo loading now shows a loading state, and offers a retry option if loading fails.

Walkthrough

The Photos view now filters months by device and selected month, loads photo files from matching day folders, and displays them in a day-grouped timeline. The timeline orders days and photos newest first and labels today, yesterday, and other dates.

Changes: Photos timeline browsing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Month selection and gallery input `src/views/Photos/hooks/usePhotoFilters.ts`, `src/views/Photos/PhotosView.tsx`, `src/views/Photos/components/PhotosLibrary.tsx`	The filter hook returns months for the selected device and month. `PhotosView` passes those months to `PhotosLibrary`, which renders the empty state or gallery.
Month photo retrieval `src/views/Photos/types.ts`, `src/views/Photos/services/photoFolders.service.ts`, `src/views/Photos/hooks/useMonthPhotos.ts`, `src/testUtils/fixtures/photos.fixtures.ts`, `src/views/Photos/services/photoFolders.service.test.ts`	`Photo` records include an identifier, name, type, day, and timestamp. The service retrieves files from matching day folders in pages and maps existing files to photo records. The hook loads photos for supplied months and exposes loading, error, loaded, and retry states.
Timeline rendering and browsing coverage `src/services/date.service.ts`, `src/services/date.service.test.ts`, `src/views/Photos/components/PhotoTile.tsx`, `src/views/Photos/components/PhotosTimeline.tsx`, `src/views/Photos/components/PhotosGallery.tsx`, `src/views/Photos/components/PhotosLayout.tsx`, `src/app/i18n/locales/*.json`, `src/views/Photos/PhotosView.test.tsx`	The gallery displays loading, error, or timeline content. The timeline groups and sorts photos by day, renders photo tiles, and uses localized labels for today and yesterday. The Photos view tests cover month selection, sorting, cross-device grouping, and retry.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "PB-7047: feat/show the photos of a month grouped by day" names the main change: the Photos page now shows a selected month's photos grouped by day. The ticket prefix and the "feat/" prefix add some noise, but the primary change is clear and specific.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template sections: Description, Related Issues, Related Pull Requests, Checklist, Testing Process, and Additional Notes. It explains the feature, the trust placed in backup folder names, the placeholder and retry behavior, and the dependency on #2284. The Related Pull Requests entry uses a plain bullet rather than the requested Repository/Branch format, and the Related Issues section uses a Jira reference rather than a GitHub issue link. Four checklist items remain unchecked, including documentation, SonarCloud review, and QA. The Testing Process section lists covered cases but not the exact steps or tools.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 15 files.

+        month: month.key,
+        day: dayOfFolder.get(file.folderUuid) as DayKey,


dayOfFolder.get(file.folderUuid) as DayKey hides a possible undefined: nothing filters files by folderUuid membership first. If one file's folderUuid doesn't match any day folder, photo.day is undefined at runtime, and PhotosTimeline's sort (.localeCompare) throws, crashing the whole gallery.

maybe it would be better to filter out unmatched files before mapping instead of casting

The SDK client is now created on every recursive page call instead of once per fetch, unlike the previous implementation. N pages = N client instances 🤔

same here: the SDK client is now created on every recursive page call instead of once per fetch, unlike the previous implementation. N pages = N client instances 🤔

+
+const isYesterday = (date: Date | string): boolean => dayjs(date).isSame(dayjs().subtract(1, 'day'), 'day');


nitpick: dayjs also ships isToday/isYesterday plugins that already do this (same as relativeTime at this file)

so you could:

dayjs.extend(isTodayPlugin); dayjs.extend(isYesterdayPlugin);

and then:

const isToday = (date: Date | string): boolean => dayjs(date).isToday(); const isYesterday = (date: Date | string): boolean => dayjs(date).isYesterday();

@coderabbitai about the stale-request comment on src/views/Photos/hooks/useMonthPhotos.ts:

The gallery is keyed by its month folders (PhotosLibrary), so when the months change it remounts with fresh state and a late response from the previous instance can't overwrite it. Retry is only offered in the error state, when no load is in flight. This hook is replaced by the infinite-scroll timeline, where loads do chain without remounting; the stale-response guard goes there.

@xabg2 Thanks for the explanation. The key prevents a response from an old gallery instance from updating a new one.

One case can still overlap in the current hook. If two devices are available but only one has the selected newest month, switching from All devices to that device creates a new shownMonths array with the same folder UUID. The gallery keeps its key, but useMonthPhotos starts another load. A late failure from the first load can then replace a successful result with an error.

I understand the guard is planned for the infinite-scroll timeline. Would you like a follow-up issue for this case?
