# Story 6.2: Analytics Charts
## Epic Reference
**Epic 6:** Admin Dashboard
## User Story
As an **admin**,
I want **visual charts showing trends and historical data**,
So that **I can identify patterns in client acquisition and consultation outcomes to make informed business decisions**.

## Technical Implementation
### Files to Create/Modify
| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `resources/views/livewire/admin/dashboard.blade.php` | Add charts section to existing dashboard |
| `app/Services/AnalyticsService.php` | Data aggregation service for chart data |
### Integration with Story 6.1 Dashboard
The charts will be added as a new section in the existing dashboard component from Story 6.1. Add below the statistics cards section.
### Component Updates (Volt Class-Based)
Add to the existing dashboard component:
```php
$this->getChartData(),
];
}
public function updatedChartPeriod(): void
{
// Livewire will re-render with new data
}
public function setCustomRange(string $start, string $end): void
{
$this->customStart = $start;
$this->customEnd = $end;
$this->chartPeriod = 'custom';
}
private function getChartData(): array
{
$service = app(AnalyticsService::class);
$months = match($this->chartPeriod) {
'6m' => 6,
'12m' => 12,
'custom' => $this->getCustomMonthCount(),
default => 6,
};
$startDate = $this->chartPeriod === 'custom' && $this->customStart
? Carbon::parse($this->customStart)->startOfMonth()
: now()->subMonths($months - 1)->startOfMonth();
return [
'labels' => $service->getMonthLabels($startDate, $months),
'newClients' => $service->getMonthlyNewClients($startDate, $months),
'consultations' => $service->getMonthlyConsultations($startDate, $months),
'consultationBreakdown' => $service->getConsultationTypeBreakdown($startDate, $months),
'noShowRates' => $service->getMonthlyNoShowRates($startDate, $months),
];
}
private function getCustomMonthCount(): int
{
if (!$this->customStart || !$this->customEnd) {
return 6;
}
return Carbon::parse($this->customStart)
->diffInMonths(Carbon::parse($this->customEnd)) + 1;
}
}; ?>
```
### Analytics Service
Create `app/Services/AnalyticsService.php`:
```php
map(fn($i) => $startDate->copy()->addMonths($i)->translatedFormat('M Y'))
->toArray();
}
public function getMonthlyNewClients(Carbon $startDate, int $months): array
{
$endDate = $startDate->copy()->addMonths($months);
$data = User::query()
->whereIn('user_type', ['individual', 'company'])
->whereBetween('created_at', [$startDate, $endDate])
->selectRaw("DATE_FORMAT(created_at, '%Y-%m') as month, COUNT(*) as count")
->groupBy('month')
->pluck('count', 'month');
return $this->fillMonthlyData($startDate, $months, $data);
}
public function getMonthlyConsultations(Carbon $startDate, int $months): array
{
$endDate = $startDate->copy()->addMonths($months);
$data = Consultation::query()
->whereBetween('scheduled_date', [$startDate, $endDate])
->selectRaw("DATE_FORMAT(scheduled_date, '%Y-%m') as month, COUNT(*) as count")
->groupBy('month')
->pluck('count', 'month');
return $this->fillMonthlyData($startDate, $months, $data);
}
public function getConsultationTypeBreakdown(Carbon $startDate, int $months): array
{
$endDate = $startDate->copy()->addMonths($months);
return [
'free' => Consultation::whereBetween('scheduled_date', [$startDate, $endDate])
->where('consultation_type', 'free')->count(),
'paid' => Consultation::whereBetween('scheduled_date', [$startDate, $endDate])
->where('consultation_type', 'paid')->count(),
];
}
public function getMonthlyNoShowRates(Carbon $startDate, int $months): array
{
$endDate = $startDate->copy()->addMonths($months);
$results = [];
for ($i = 0; $i < $months; $i++) {
$monthStart = $startDate->copy()->addMonths($i);
$monthEnd = $monthStart->copy()->endOfMonth();
$total = Consultation::whereBetween('scheduled_date', [$monthStart, $monthEnd])
->whereIn('status', ['completed', 'no-show'])
->count();
$noShows = Consultation::whereBetween('scheduled_date', [$monthStart, $monthEnd])
->where('status', 'no-show')
->count();
$results[] = $total > 0 ? round(($noShows / $total) * 100, 1) : 0;
}
return $results;
}
private function fillMonthlyData(Carbon $startDate, int $months, Collection $data): array
{
return collect(range(0, $months - 1))
->map(fn($i) => $data->get($startDate->copy()->addMonths($i)->format('Y-m'), 0))
->toArray();
}
}
```
### Chart.js Integration with Livewire
Use `wire:ignore` to prevent Livewire from re-rendering chart canvas, and Alpine.js to manage Chart.js instances:
```blade
{{-- Charts Section --}}
{{-- Date Range Selector --}}
{{ __('Last 6 Months') }}
{{ __('Last 12 Months') }}
{{-- Custom range picker would go here --}}
{{-- Monthly Trends Chart --}}
{{ __('Monthly Trends') }}
{{-- Consultation Breakdown Chart --}}
{{ __('Consultation Breakdown') }}
{{-- No-show Rate Chart --}}
{{ __('No-show Rate Trend') }}
@push('scripts')
@endpush
```
### NPM Dependencies
Chart.js can be loaded via CDN (as shown) or installed via npm:
```bash
npm install chart.js
```
Then import in `resources/js/app.js`:
```js
import Chart from 'chart.js/auto';
window.Chart = Chart;
```
## Edge Cases & Error Handling
| Scenario | Expected Behavior |
|----------|-------------------|
| No data for selected period | Show "No data available" message in chart area |
| Only one month of data | Chart renders single point with label |
| Zero consultations (division by zero for no-show rate) | Return 0% no-show rate, not error |
| Very large numbers | Y-axis scales appropriately with Chart.js auto-scaling |
| Custom range spans years | Labels show "Jan 2024", "Jan 2025" to distinguish |
| RTL language (Arabic) | Chart labels render correctly, legend on appropriate side |
| Chart.js fails to load | Show fallback message "Charts unavailable" |
## Testing Requirements
### Test File

```
### Manual Testing Checklist
- [ ] Verify charts render on desktop (1200px+)
- [ ] Verify charts resize correctly on tablet (768px)
- [ ] Verify charts stack vertically on mobile (375px)
- [ ] Verify tooltips show exact values on hover
- [ ] Verify 6-month button is selected by default
- [ ] Verify 12-month button updates all charts
- [ ] Verify chart colors match brand (navy #0A1F44, gold #D4AF37)
- [ ] Verify charts work in Arabic (RTL) mode
- [ ] Verify loading state appears while data fetches
- [ ] Verify empty state message when no data
## Definition of Done
- [ ] All three charts render correctly (trends, breakdown, no-show)
- [ ] Date range selector switches between 6/12 months
- [ ] Tooltips show exact values on all charts
- [ ] Charts are responsive on mobile, tablet, desktop
- [ ] Bilingual labels work (Arabic/English)
- [ ] Empty state handled gracefully
- [ ] No-show rate handles zero consultations (no division error)
- [ ] AnalyticsService unit tests pass
- [ ] Feature tests for chart data pass
- [ ] Code formatted with Pint
- [ ] Admin-only access enforced
## Estimation
**Complexity:** Medium-High | **Effort:** 4-5 hours
## Out of Scope
- Custom date range picker with calendar UI (can use simple month selects)
- Exporting charts as images
- Real-time chart updates (polling) - charts update on page load/range change only
- Animated chart transitions

- All 19 tests passing, no regressions in existing 21 dashboard tests
## QA Results
### Review Date: 2025-12-27
### Reviewed By: Quinn (Test Architect)
### Code Quality Assessment
Implementation quality is excellent. The AnalyticsService follows proper service pattern with clean separation of concerns. The developer correctly identified that the actual database column is `booking_date` (not `scheduled_date` as mentioned in the story spec) and implemented accordingly. Code uses proper enums, type hints, and PHPDoc blocks throughout.
Key strengths:
- PHP-based data grouping ensures SQLite compatibility for testing
- Clean chart data aggregation with proper date range handling
- Appropriate use of `wire:ignore` for Chart.js canvas elements
- Proper RTL support with legend positioning based on `document.dir`
- Empty state handling prevents errors when no data exists
### Refactoring Performed
None required - code quality meets standards.
### Compliance Check
- Coding Standards: ✓ Pint passes with no changes needed
- Project Structure: ✓ Service in correct location, follows existing patterns
- Testing Strategy: ✓ 19 tests covering unit and feature scenarios
- All ACs Met: ✓ All acceptance criteria have corresponding implementations and tests
### Improvements Checklist
All items handled by developer implementation:
- [x] Monthly Trends line chart with two data series
- [x] Consultation Breakdown doughnut chart with percentages
- [x] No-show Rate line chart with 20% threshold annotation
- [x] Date range selector with 6m/12m presets and custom range
- [x] Responsive chart sizing with maintainAspectRatio: false
- [x] Bilingual labels in both language files
- [x] Empty state message when no data available
- [x] Division by zero protection in no-show calculation
- [x] Admin-only access enforced via middleware
Minor consideration (non-blocking):
- [ ] Chart.js annotation plugin may need explicit import if threshold line doesn't render (Chart.js annotation plugin is a separate package)
### Security Review
No security concerns. Admin middleware properly enforces access control. Non-admin users receive 403 Forbidden response (verified by test).
### Performance Considerations
- Chart data queries are reasonably efficient using Eloquent groupBy
- No caching applied to chart data (acceptable - data freshness is important for analytics)
- No N+1 query issues detected
### Files Modified During Review
None - no modifications were necessary.
### Gate Status
Gate: **PASS** → docs/qa/gates/6.2-analytics-charts.yml
### Recommended Status
✓ **Ready for Done** - All acceptance criteria met, tests passing, code quality excellent
