dwindown d13a356331 fix: Major UX improvements and API error handling
Fixed Issues:
1.  API error handling - Added try-catch and validation
2.  Pipe separator UX - Now accepts comma OR pipe naturally
3.  Tab restructuring - Merged pricing into General tab

Changes:

🔧 API (ProductsController.php):
- Added try-catch error handling in create_product
- Validate required fields (name)
- Better empty field checks (use !empty instead of ??)
- Support virtual, downloadable, featured flags
- Array validation for categories/tags/variations
- Return proper WP_Error on exceptions

🎨 UX Improvements:

1. Attribute Options Input (VariationsTab.tsx):
    Old: Pipe only, spaces rejected
    New: Comma OR pipe, spaces allowed
   - Split by /[,|]/ regex
   - Display as comma-separated (more natural)
   - Help text: "Type naturally: Red, Blue, Green"
   - No more cursor gymnastics!

2. Tab Restructuring (ProductFormTabbed.tsx):
    Old: 5 tabs (General, Pricing, Inventory, Variations, Organization)
    New: 3-4 tabs (General+Pricing, Inventory, Variations*, Organization)
   - Pricing merged into General tab
   - Variable products: 4 tabs (Variations shown)
   - Simple products: 3 tabs (Variations hidden)
   - Dynamic grid: grid-cols-3 or grid-cols-4
   - Less tab switching!

3. GeneralTab.tsx Enhancement:
   - Added pricing fields section
   - SKU, Regular Price, Sale Price
   - Savings calculator ("Customers save X%")
   - Context-aware help text:
     * Simple: "Base price before discounts"
     * Variable: "Base price (can override per variation)"
   - All in one place!

📊 Result:
- Simpler navigation (3-4 tabs vs 5)
- Natural typing (comma works!)
- Better context (pricing with product info)
- Less cognitive load
- Faster product creation

WooNooW

WooNooW is a modern experience layer for WooCommerce — enhancing UX, speed, and reliability without data migration.
It keeps WooCommerce as the core engine while providing a modern React-powered interface for both the storefront (cart, checkout, myaccount) and the admin (orders, dashboard).

Three Admin Modes:

  • Normal Mode: Traditional wp-admin integration (/wp-admin/admin.php?page=woonoow)
  • Fullscreen Mode: Distraction-free interface (toggle in header)
  • Standalone Mode: Complete standalone app at yoursite.com/admin with custom login

🔍 Background

WooCommerce is the most used ecommerce engine in the world, but its architecture has become heavy and fragmented.
With Reactbased blocks (Checkout, Cart, Product Edit) and HPOS now rolling out, many existing addons are becoming obsolete or unstable.
WooNooW bridges the gap between Woos legacy PHP system and the new modern stack — so users get performance and simplicity without losing compatibility.


🚀 Key Principles

  • No Migration Needed Woo data stays intact.
  • Safe Activate/Deactivate revert to native Woo anytime, no data loss.
  • Hybrid by Default SSR + React islands for Cart/Checkout/MyAccount.
  • Full SPA Toggle optional Reactonly mode for max performance.
  • HPOS Mandatory optimized datastore and async operations.
  • Compat Layer hook mirror + slot rendering for legacy addons.
  • Async Mail & Tasks powered by Action Scheduler.

🧱 Tech Stack

Layer Technology
Backend PHP 8.2+, WordPress, WooCommerce (HPOS), Action Scheduler
Frontend React 18 + TypeScript, Vite, React Query, Tailwind (optional)
Build & Package Composer, NPM, ESM scripts, Zip automation
Architecture Modular PSR4 classes, RESTdriven SPA islands
