# Cut Public View Implementation
## Summary
Successfully implemented multi-cut functionality for the public map view with auto-display of public cuts and multi-select dropdown controls.
## Features Implemented
### 1. Auto-Display Public Cuts
- All cuts marked as public (`is_public = true` or `Public Visibility = true`) are automatically displayed when the map loads
- Uses the existing backend API endpoint `/api/cuts/public`
- Handles different field name variations (normalized data access)
### 2. Multi-Select Dropdown (Desktop)
- Replaces single-cut selector with multi-select checkbox interface
- Shows "Manage map overlays..." with count when cuts are active
- Dropdown shows on focus with:
- Quick action buttons (Show All / Hide All)
- Individual checkboxes for each cut with color indicators
- Official cut badges
- Real-time updates of checkbox states
### 3. Mobile Overlay Modal
- Dedicated mobile interface for cut management
- Accessible via 🗺️ button in mobile sidebar
- Full-screen modal with:
- Show All / Hide All action buttons
- Large touch-friendly checkboxes
- Color indicators and cut names
- Official cut badges
### 4. Legend System
- Dynamic legend showing all active cuts
- Color-coded entries with cut names
- Individual remove buttons (×) for each cut
- Auto-hides when no cuts are displayed
### 5. Multi-Cut Management
- Support for displaying multiple cuts simultaneously
- Individual toggle functionality
- Proper layer management and cleanup
- State persistence across UI interactions
## Files Modified
### HTML (`index.html`)
```html
```
### CSS (`map-controls.css`)
- Multi-select dropdown styles (`.cut-checkbox-container`, `.cut-checkbox-item`)
- Legend styles (`.cut-legend`, `.legend-cut-item`)
- Mobile overlay styles (`.mobile-overlay-list`, `.overlay-actions`)
- Color box indicators (`.cut-color-box`)
- Responsive mobile adjustments
### JavaScript
#### `cut-controls.js` - Enhanced with:
- `autoDisplayAllPublicCuts()` - Auto-display public cuts on load
- `populateCutSelector()` - Multi-select checkbox dropdown
- `updateMultipleCutsUI()` - Update UI for multiple active cuts
- `showMultipleCutsLegend()` - Dynamic legend display
- Global functions: `toggleCutDisplay()`, `showAllCuts()`, `hideAllCuts()`
- Mobile overlay functions: `openMobileOverlayModal()`, `populateMobileOverlayOptions()`
#### `cut-manager.js` - Enhanced with:
- Enhanced `displayCut()` method with multi-cut support
- `isCutDisplayed()` - Check if cut is displayed
- `hideCutById()` - Hide individual cuts by ID
- `hideAllCuts()` - Hide all displayed cuts
- `getDisplayedCuts()` - Get array of currently displayed cuts
- Proper normalization of cut data fields
- Support for auto-displayed tracking
## API Integration
Uses existing backend endpoints:
- `GET /api/cuts/public` - Fetch all public cuts
- Cut data normalization handles various field name formats:
- `id` / `Id` / `ID`
- `name` / `Name`
- `is_public` / `Public Visibility`
- `is_official` / `Official Cut`
- `geojson` / `GeoJSON` / `GeoJSON Data`
## User Experience
### Desktop Workflow:
1. Public cuts auto-display on map load
2. Selector shows "X overlays active" when cuts are displayed
3. Click selector to open checkbox dropdown
4. Use checkboxes to toggle individual cuts on/off
5. Use "Show All" / "Hide All" for quick actions
6. Legend shows active cuts with remove buttons
### Mobile Workflow:
1. Public cuts auto-display on map load
2. Tap 🗺️ button to open overlay modal
3. Use large checkboxes to toggle cuts
4. Use "Show All" / "Hide All" action buttons
5. Close modal to return to map
## Error Handling
- Graceful fallback when API fails (uses mock data for testing)
- Proper error logging for failed cut displays
- Safe handling of missing DOM elements
- Validation of GeoJSON data before display
