Item Compatibility

Item compatibility is managed through the ItemCompatibilityController.

Routing

The feature uses a structured routing pattern where the action verb is typically at the end of the URL:

• List/Detail: /Items/{BaseItemID}/Compatibility/Detail
• Add: /Items/{BaseItemID}/Compatibility/Add
• Relationship Detail: /Items/{BaseItemID}/Compatibility/{CompatibilityID}/Relationship
• Edit: /Items/{BaseItemID}/Compatibility/{CompatibilityID}/Edit
• Delete: /Items/{BaseItemID}/Compatibility/{CompatibilityID}/Delete (POST)
• Search: /Items/Compatibility/SearchItems (used for AJAX searching)

Implementation Details

• POST Actions: The Add and Edit POST actions accept individual parameters (CompatibleItemID, CompatibilityType, NewNote) rather than a complex view model, simplifying model binding and front-end implementation.
• Search: The item search functionality uses a restricted result set (max 50 items) for better performance and usability.
