'ar'; return new Envelope( subject: $locale === 'ar' ? 'تم استلام طلب الاستشارة' : 'Your Consultation Request Has Been Submitted', ); } public function content(): Content { $locale = $this->consultation->user->preferred_language ?? 'ar'; return new Content( markdown: "emails.booking.submitted.{$locale}", with: [ 'consultation' => $this->consultation, 'user' => $this->consultation->user, 'summaryPreview' => $this->getSummaryPreview(), 'formattedDate' => $this->getFormattedDate($locale), 'formattedTime' => $this->getFormattedTime($locale), ], ); } private function getSummaryPreview(): string { $summary = $this->consultation->problem_summary ?? ''; return strlen($summary) > 200 ? substr($summary, 0, 200) . '...' : $summary; } private function getFormattedDate(string $locale): string { $date = $this->consultation->booking_date; return $locale === 'ar' ? $date->format('d/m/Y') : $date->format('m/d/Y'); } private function getFormattedTime(string $locale): string { return $this->consultation->booking_time->format('h:i A'); } } ``` ### Dispatch Point Send the email after successful consultation creation. Typical location: ```php // In app/Actions/Consultation/CreateConsultationAction.php // OR in the controller handling booking submission use App\Mail\BookingSubmittedEmail; use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail; // After consultation is created successfully: Mail::to($consultation->user->email) ->send(new BookingSubmittedEmail($consultation)); ``` ### Edge Cases - If `preferred_language` is null, default to 'ar' (Arabic) - If `problem_summary` is null or empty, show "No summary provided" - Ensure consultation has valid `booking_date` and `booking_time` before sending ## Testing Requirements ### Unit Tests ```php test('booking submitted email has correct subject in Arabic', function () { $user = User::factory()->create(['preferred_language' => 'ar']); $consultation = Consultation::factory()->create(['user_id' => $user->id]); $mailable = new BookingSubmittedEmail($consultation); expect($mailable->envelope()->subject) ->toBe('تم استلام طلب الاستشارة'); }); test('booking submitted email has correct subject in English', function () { $user = User::factory()->create(['preferred_language' => 'en']); $consultation = Consultation::factory()->create(['user_id' => $user->id]); $mailable = new BookingSubmittedEmail($consultation); expect($mailable->envelope()->subject) ->toBe('Your Consultation Request Has Been Submitted'); }); test('problem summary is truncated at 200 characters', function () { $longSummary = str_repeat('a', 250); $user = User::factory()->create(); $consultation = Consultation::factory()->create([ 'user_id' => $user->id, 'problem_summary' => $longSummary, ]); $mailable = new BookingSubmittedEmail($consultation); $content = $mailable->content(); expect($content->with['summaryPreview']) ->toHaveLength(203) // 200 + '...' ->toEndWith('...'); }); test('date is formatted as d/m/Y for Arabic users', function () { $user = User::factory()->create(['preferred_language' => 'ar']); $consultation = Consultation::factory()->create([ 'user_id' => $user->id, 'booking_date' => '2025-03-15', ]); $mailable = new BookingSubmittedEmail($consultation); $content = $mailable->content(); expect($content->with['formattedDate'])->toBe('15/03/2025'); }); test('date is formatted as m/d/Y for English users', function () { $user = User::factory()->create(['preferred_language' => 'en']); $consultation = Consultation::factory()->create([ 'user_id' => $user->id, 'booking_date' => '2025-03-15', ]); $mailable = new BookingSubmittedEmail($consultation); $content = $mailable->content(); expect($content->with['formattedDate'])->toBe('03/15/2025'); }); test('defaults to Arabic when preferred_language is null', function () { $user = User::factory()->create(['preferred_language' => null]); $consultation = Consultation::factory()->create(['user_id' => $user->id]); $mailable = new BookingSubmittedEmail($consultation); expect($mailable->envelope()->subject) ->toBe('تم استلام طلب الاستشارة'); }); test('empty problem summary returns empty string', function () { $user = User::factory()->create(); $consultation = Consultation::factory()->create([ 'user_id' => $user->id, 'problem_summary' => '', ]); $mailable = new BookingSubmittedEmail($consultation); $content = $mailable->content(); expect($content->with['summaryPreview'])->toBe(''); }); ``` ### Feature Tests ```php test('email is sent when consultation is created', function () { Mail::fake(); $user = User::factory()->create(); // Trigger consultation creation... Mail::assertSent(BookingSubmittedEmail::class, function ($mail) use ($user) { return $mail->hasTo($user->email); }); }); test('email is queued for async delivery', function () { Mail::fake(); $user = User::factory()->create(); $consultation = Consultation::factory()->create(['user_id' => $user->id]); Mail::to($user->email)->send(new BookingSubmittedEmail($consultation)); Mail::assertQueued(BookingSubmittedEmail::class); }); ``` ## References - **PRD Section 8.2:** Email Templates - "Booking Confirmation - Request submitted successfully" - **PRD Section 5.4:** Booking Flow - Step 2 "Request Status: Pending" - **Story 8.1:** Base email template structure and branding - **Story 8.2:** Welcome email pattern (similar Mailable structure) ## Definition of Done - [x] `BookingSubmittedEmail` Mailable class created - [x] Arabic template created and renders correctly - [x] English template created and renders correctly - [x] Email dispatched on consultation creation - [x] Email queued (implements ShouldQueue) - [x] Date/time formatted per user language - [x] Summary preview truncated at 200 chars - [x] Pending status clearly communicated - [x] Response timeframe included - [x] Unit tests pass - [x] Feature tests pass ## Estimation **Complexity:** Low | **Effort:** 2 hours --- ## Dev Agent Record ### Status Ready for Review ### Agent Model Used Claude Opus 4.5 (claude-opus-4-5-20251101) ### File List | File | Action | Description | |------|--------|-------------| | `app/Mail/BookingSubmittedMail.php` | Modified | Updated to implement ShouldQueue, add summary preview truncation, locale-based date/time formatting, and use separate language templates | | `resources/views/emails/booking/submitted/ar.blade.php` | Created | Arabic email template with RTL support, pending status panel, and response timeframe | | `resources/views/emails/booking/submitted/en.blade.php` | Created | English email template with pending status panel and response timeframe | | `tests/Feature/Mail/BookingSubmittedMailTest.php` | Created | 16 tests covering subject lines, summary truncation, date formatting, template selection, and queue behavior | ### Change Log - Updated `BookingSubmittedMail` to implement `ShouldQueue` interface for async delivery - Added `getSummaryPreview()` method to truncate problem summary at 200 characters - Added `getFormattedDate()` method for locale-based date formatting (d/m/Y for Arabic, m/d/Y for English) - Added `getFormattedTime()` method for 12-hour time format - Changed from single view to separate markdown templates per language - Created Arabic template with proper RTL direction and Arabic content - Created English template with LTR content - Both templates include pending status panel and 1-2 business days response timeframe ### Completion Notes - Used existing `BookingSubmittedMail.php` class name (not `BookingSubmittedEmail.php` as specified in story) to maintain compatibility with existing codebase and tests - Email dispatch already exists in `resources/views/livewire/client/consultations/book.blade.php:142-144` - Database constraints prevent null `preferred_language` and `problem_summary`, so edge case tests were adjusted accordingly - All 16 BookingSubmittedMail tests pass - All 21 BookingSubmission feature tests pass ### Debug Log References None - implementation completed without issues --- ## QA Results ### Review Date: 2026-01-02 ### Reviewed By: Quinn (Test Architect) ### Code Quality Assessment **Overall: Excellent** - The implementation is clean, well-structured, and follows Laravel best practices. The `BookingSubmittedMail` class properly implements the `ShouldQueue` interface for async delivery, uses Laravel's Mailable pattern correctly, and provides clear separation between Arabic and English templates. **Strengths:** - Clean class structure with public methods for helper functions (`getSummaryPreview`, `getFormattedDate`, `getFormattedTime`) - Proper use of Carbon for time parsing - Locale-aware date formatting (d/m/Y for Arabic, m/d/Y for English) - Summary truncation with proper boundary handling (200 chars + "...") - Email templates use the base email layout from Story 8.1 with Libra branding (navy header, gold accents, bilingual footer) - RTL support properly implemented in Arabic template **Minor Observations:** - The `locale` property is set in constructor but not used; envelope and content methods recalculate locale each time (minor redundancy, not a defect) ### Refactoring Performed None required - code quality is production-ready. ### Compliance Check - Coding Standards: ✓ Follows Laravel Mailable conventions, proper namespacing - Project Structure: ✓ Files in correct locations (`app/Mail/`, `resources/views/emails/booking/submitted/`) - Testing Strategy: ✓ 16 unit tests covering all acceptance criteria - All ACs Met: ✓ All 10 acceptance criteria verified ### Requirements Traceability | AC | Requirement | Test Coverage | |----|-------------|---------------| | 1 | Sent immediately after consultation creation | `BookingSubmissionTest::emails are sent to client and admin after submission` | | 2 | Consultation status: pending | `BookingSubmissionTest::booking is created with pending status` | | 3 | Email queued for async delivery | `BookingSubmittedMailTest::booking submitted email implements ShouldQueue`, `email is queued when sent` | | 4 | Correct Arabic subject line | `BookingSubmittedMailTest::booking submitted email has correct subject in Arabic` | | 5 | Correct English subject line | `BookingSubmittedMailTest::booking submitted email has correct subject in English` | | 6 | Summary preview truncated at 200 chars | `BookingSubmittedMailTest::problem summary is truncated at 200 characters`, `summary exactly 200 characters is not truncated`, `summary under 200 characters is not truncated` | | 7 | Date formatted per locale | `BookingSubmittedMailTest::date is formatted as d/m/Y for Arabic users`, `date is formatted as m/d/Y for English users` | | 8 | Time formatted as h:i A | `BookingSubmittedMailTest::time is formatted as h:i A` | | 9 | Correct template per language | `BookingSubmittedMailTest::uses correct Arabic template for Arabic users`, `uses correct English template for English users` | | 10 | All content data passed to template | `BookingSubmittedMailTest::content includes all required data` | ### Improvements Checklist - [x] Implements ShouldQueue for async delivery - [x] Locale-based subject lines (Arabic/English) - [x] Summary preview truncation at 200 characters - [x] Date formatting per user language preference - [x] Time formatting in 12-hour format - [x] Separate Arabic and English templates - [x] Arabic template has RTL direction - [x] Pending status panel in both templates - [x] Response timeframe (1-2 business days) included - [x] Uses base email layout with Libra branding ### Security Review **Status: PASS** - No security concerns identified - Email content is properly escaped through Blade templates - No user input directly concatenated into HTML - Uses Laravel's built-in email sanitization ### Performance Considerations **Status: PASS** - Email is queued (implements ShouldQueue) preventing blocking of HTTP requests - Consultation model is serialized for queue, avoiding N+1 issues - Carbon parsing is minimal and efficient ### Files Modified During Review None - no modifications required. ### Gate Status Gate: **PASS** → docs/qa/gates/8.3-booking-submitted-confirmation.yml ### Recommended Status ✓ **Ready for Done** - All acceptance criteria met, comprehensive test coverage (37 tests passing), code quality is excellent, and follows project standards.
