#### `favorites_local_datasource.dart`
- **Purpose**: Handles all Hive database operations for favorites
- **Key Methods**:
  - `getAllFavorites(userId)` - Get all favorites for a user
  - `addFavorite(favorite)` - Add a new favorite
  - `removeFavorite(productId, userId)` - Remove a favorite
  - `isFavorite(productId, userId)` - Check favorite status
  - `clearFavorites(userId)` - Clear all favorites for a user

  - `compact()` - Optimize database size

- **Features**:
  - Multi-user support (filters by userId)
  - Error handling with try-catch
  - Debug logging
  - Sorted by creation date (newest first)

---

### 2. Presentation Layer
**Location**: `/lib/features/favorites/presentation/providers/`

#### `favorites_provider.dart`
- **Purpose**: Riverpod 3.0 state management with code generation
- **Generated File**: `favorites_provider.g.dart` (auto-generated by build_runner)

**Providers Created**:

1. **`favoritesLocalDataSourceProvider`**
   - Type: `Provider<FavoritesLocalDataSource>`
   - Purpose: Dependency injection for datasource
   - Auto-dispose: Yes

2. **`currentUserIdProvider`**
   - Type: `Provider<String>`
   - Purpose: Provides current logged-in user ID
   - Current Value: `'user_001'` (hardcoded for development)
   - **TODO**: Replace with actual auth provider integration
   - Auto-dispose: Yes

3. **`favoritesProvider`** (Main Provider)
   - Type: `AsyncNotifier<Set<String>>`
   - Purpose: Manages favorites state (Set of product IDs)
   - Auto-dispose: Yes
   - **Methods**:
     - `addFavorite(productId)` - Add product to favorites
     - `removeFavorite(productId)` - Remove product from favorites
     - `toggleFavorite(productId)` - Toggle favorite status
     - `refresh()` - Reload from database
     - `clearAll()` - Remove all favorites

4. **`isFavoriteProvider(productId)`** (Family Provider)
   - Type: `Provider<bool>`
   - Purpose: Check if specific product is favorited
   - Returns: `true` if favorited, `false` otherwise
   - Safe during loading/error states (returns `false`)
   - Auto-dispose: Yes

5. **`favoriteCountProvider`**
   - Type: `Provider<int>`
   - Purpose: Get total count of favorites
   - Returns: Number of favorites (0 if loading/error)
   - Auto-dispose: Yes

6. **`favoriteProductIdsProvider`**
   - Type: `Provider<List<String>>`
   - Purpose: Get all favorite product IDs as a list
   - Returns: List of product IDs (empty if loading/error)
   - Auto-dispose: Yes

---

## State Management Architecture

### State Flow
```
User Action (Add/Remove Favorite)
    ↓
favoritesProvider.notifier.addFavorite(productId)
    ↓
Update Hive Database (FavoritesLocalDataSource)
    ↓
Update In-Memory State (Set<String>)
    ↓
Notify Listeners (UI Rebuilds)
```

### Data Persistence
- **Primary Storage**: Hive (local database)
- **Box Name**: `favorite_box` (from HiveBoxNames.favoriteBox)
- **Model**: `FavoriteModel` (Hive TypeId: 28)
- **Format**:
  ```dart
  FavoriteModel(
    favoriteId: "user_001_product_123_1234567890",
    productId: "product_123",
    userId: "user_001",
    createdAt: DateTime.now(),
  )
  ```

### State Type
- **Type**: `Set<String>` (Product IDs)
- **Reason**: Set provides O(1) lookup for `.contains()` checks
- **Alternative**: Could use `List<String>` but Set is more efficient

---

## Integration Points

### ✅ Already Integrated
1. **Hive Database**
   - Uses existing `HiveBoxNames.favoriteBox`
   - Uses existing `HiveTypeIds.favoriteModel` (28)
   - FavoriteModel already has generated adapter

2. **Domain Layer**
   - `Favorite` entity: `/lib/features/favorites/domain/entities/favorite.dart`
   - `FavoriteModel`: `/lib/features/favorites/data/models/favorite_model.dart`

### ⚠️ TODO: Authentication Integration
Currently using hardcoded userId (`'user_001'`). To integrate with auth:

1. **Locate Auth Provider** (when available)
2. **Update `currentUserIdProvider`**:
   ```dart
   @riverpod
   String currentUserId(Ref ref) {
     final authState = ref.watch(authProvider);
     return authState.user?.id ?? 'guest';
   }
   ```

3. **Handle Guest Users**:
   - Decide: Should guests have favorites?
   - If yes, use device-specific ID
   - If no, show login prompt when favoriting

---

## Usage in Widgets

### Example 1: Simple Favorite Button
```dart
class FavoriteButton extends ConsumerWidget {
  final String productId;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context, WidgetRef ref) {
    final isFavorited = ref.watch(isFavoriteProvider(productId));

    return IconButton(
      icon: Icon(isFavorited ? Icons.favorite : Icons.favorite_border),
      onPressed: () {
        ref.read(favoritesProvider.notifier).toggleFavorite(productId);
      },
    );
  }
}
```

### Example 2: Favorites Count Badge
```dart
class FavoritesBadge extends ConsumerWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context, WidgetRef ref) {
    final count = ref.watch(favoriteCountProvider);

    return Badge(
      label: Text('$count'),
      child: Icon(Icons.favorite),
    );
  }
}
```

### Example 3: Display All Favorites
```dart
class FavoritesPage extends ConsumerWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context, WidgetRef ref) {
    final favoritesAsync = ref.watch(favoritesProvider);

    return favoritesAsync.when(
      data: (favorites) => ListView.builder(
        itemCount: favorites.length,
        itemBuilder: (context, index) {
          final productId = favorites.elementAt(index);
          return ProductCard(productId: productId);
        },
      ),
      loading: () => const CustomLoadingIndicator(),
      error: (error, stack) => Text('Error: $error'),
    );
  }
}
```

**See `USAGE_EXAMPLES.md` for comprehensive examples.**

## Testing

### Unit Test Example
```dart
import 'package:flutter_test/flutter_test.dart';
import 'package:flutter_riverpod/flutter_riverpod.dart';

void main() {
  test('should add and remove favorites', () async {
    final container = ProviderContainer();
    addTearDown(container.dispose);

    // Add favorite
    await container.read(favoritesProvider.notifier)
        .addFavorite('product_1');

    // Verify added
    final favorites = await container.read(favoritesProvider.future);
    expect(favorites, contains('product_1'));

    // Remove favorite
    await container.read(favoritesProvider.notifier)
        .removeFavorite('product_1');

    // Verify removed
    final updated = await container.read(favoritesProvider.future);
    expect(updated, isNot(contains('product_1')));
  });
}
```

---

## Error Handling

### State Management Errors
- Wrapped in `AsyncValue.error()`
- UI can handle with `.when()` method
- Logged to console with debug messages

### Database Errors
- Try-catch blocks in datasource methods
- Rethrow for provider to handle
- Graceful fallbacks (empty sets, false returns)

### Edge Cases Handled
- ✅ Product already favorited (no-op)
- ✅ Product not in favorites (no-op on remove)
- ✅ Empty favorites list
- ✅ Hive box not initialized
- ✅ Multi-user support (filters by userId)

---

## Performance Considerations

### Optimizations
1. **Set vs List**: Using `Set<String>` for O(1) lookup
2. **Auto-dispose**: All providers auto-dispose when not in use
3. **Selective watching**: `isFavoriteProvider` rebuilds only affected widgets
4. **Database compaction**: Available via `compact()` method
5. **Sorted by date**: Favorites returned in newest-first order

### Potential Improvements
1. **Batch operations**: Add `addMultipleFavorites()` method
2. **Caching**: Add in-memory cache layer
3. **Pagination**: For users with many favorites
4. **Sync**: Add remote API sync capability

---

## Debugging

### Console Logs
All operations log to console with prefix `[FavoritesProvider]` or `[FavoritesLocalDataSource]`:
- "Added favorite: product_123"
- "Removed favorite: product_123 for user: user_001"
- "Loaded 5 favorites for user: user_001"
- "Error adding favorite: ..."

### Check State
```dart
// In widget
final favorites = ref.read(favoritesProvider);
print('Favorites state: $favorites');

// Check if favorited
final isFav = ref.read(isFavoriteProvider('product_123'));
print('Is favorited: $isFav');
```

## Known Limitations

1. **No Auth Integration Yet**: Using hardcoded userId
2. **No Remote Sync**: Only local storage (Hive)
3. **No Offline Queue**: Changes not synced to backend
4. **Single Device**: No cross-device synchronization
5. **No Favorites Limit**: Could grow unbounded
