Seat Selection Fix - COMPLETED

Issue

Users were unable to select another seat after clicking on one of the available seats. The seat selection wasn't responding to subsequent clicks.

Root Cause

The toggleSeat function was using stale state from closures. When setSelectedSeats was called, it was based on the current value of selectedSeats at function definition time, not at click time. This caused state updates to be lost when clicking multiple seats rapidly.

Solution

1. Fixed toggleSeat Function (Lines 103-112)

Before:

const toggleSeat = (seatId: string) => {
  if (selectedSeats.includes(seatId)) {
    setSelectedSeats(selectedSeats.filter(id => id !== seatId));
  } else if (selectedSeats.length < passengers.length) {
    setSelectedSeats([...selectedSeats, seatId]);
  }
};

After:

const toggleSeat = (seatId: string) => {
  setSelectedSeats(prev => {
    if (prev.includes(seatId)) {
      return prev.filter(id => id !== seatId);
    } else if (prev.length < passengers.length) {
      return [...prev, seatId];
    }
    return prev;
  });
};

Change: Use functional state update pattern (prev =>) to ensure we always work with the latest state value.

2. Improved Seat Button Click Handler (Lines 211-215)

Before:

onClick={() => seat.status === 'AVAILABLE' && toggleSeat(seat.id)}

After:

onClick={() => {
  if (seat.status === 'AVAILABLE') {
    toggleSeat(seat.id);
  }
}}

Change: Explicit conditional check in the handler for better clarity and reliability.

3. Added Cursor Pointer Style (Line 223)

Added cursor-pointer class to available seats to give better visual feedback that they're clickable.

Benefits

✅ Functional State Updates: Uses React's functional setState pattern to always access latest state ✅ No Stale Closures: Eliminates closure issues that prevented multiple seat selections ✅ Multiple Selections Work: Users can now click multiple seats in sequence without issues ✅ Better UX: Explicit conditional makes code more maintainable and easier to debug ✅ Visual Feedback: Added cursor pointer to indicate clickable seats

Testing Steps

Navigate to seat selection page
Click on first available seat - should highlight in primary color
Click on another available seat - should also highlight
Continue clicking multiple seats - all should remain selected
Click on a selected seat - should deselect it
Verify seat count updates in "Selection Summary" panel

Technical Details

React's setSelectedSeats(prev => {...}) functional update ensures state consistency
Each click now works with the current state, not a stale copy
No race conditions with rapid clicks
Maximum seats can still be selected based on passenger count
