The Dashboard is the command center for administrators, providing high-level metrics and a comprehensive calendar view of all scheduling activities.

The system-wide monthly calendar providing a high-level overview of availability and events.

A more detailed weekly view for managing recurring patterns and density.

The granular daily view showing specific slot transitions and appointment details.

Overview

The Dashboard page is built as a reactive interface that combines statistical data with a rich, interactive calendar. It is designed to give an immediate "pulse" of the system the moment an administrator logs in.

Functional Components

1. Dashboard Header (DashboardHeader)

• Purpose: Sets the context of the page.
• Dynamic Content: Displays localized title and description based on the user's language settings.
• Context: Provides a clear visual anchor for the starting point of the administrative workflow.

2. Stats Cards (StatsCards)

Displays four primary metrics:

• Total Appointments: The cumulative number of bookings made.
• Active Slots: Currently available time windows for guest booking.
• Upcoming Events: Number of events starting within the next 24-48 hours.
• Pending Approvals: Community events awaiting administrative sign-off.

3. Administrative Calendar (DashboardCalendar)

The centerpiece of the dashboard, utilizing react-big-calendar:

• Unified View: Merges Slots, Appointments, Planner Events, and Community Events into a single color-coded timeline.
• Interactivity:
  • Click on slots/appointments to view quick details.
  • Drag-and-drop support (where applicable) for rescheduling.
  • View switching: Month, Week, Day, and Agenda views.
• Color Coding:
  • ● Slots: Purple
  • ● Appointments: Green
  • ● Planner: Blue
  • ● Community: Orange

Technical Implementation

State Management & Hooks

The page logic is encapsulated in the useDashboardPage hook:

• Data Fetching: Aggregates data from multiple API endpoints (/api/stats, /api/slots, /api/appointments).
• Reactive Polling: Optionally refreshes data to ensure the calendar is always up-to-date.
• Transformation: Converts raw database entities into the CalendarEvent format required by the UI.

Toast Notifications

Uses baseui/toast for real-time feedback:

• Notifies the user of data fetching errors.
• Confirms successful administrative actions directly from the calendar view.
