Component Implementation

<!-- resources/views/components/card.blade.php -->
@props([
    'variant' => 'default',
    'hover' => false,
    'highlight' => false
])

<div {{ $attributes->merge([
    'class' => collect([
        'bg-cream rounded-lg p-6',
        'shadow-sm' => $variant === 'default',
        'shadow-md' => $variant === 'elevated',
        'hover:shadow-md hover:-translate-y-0.5 transition-all cursor-pointer' => $hover,
        'border-s-4 border-gold' => $highlight,
    ])->filter()->implode(' ')
]) }}>
    {{ $slot }}
</div>

<!-- Stat card component -->
@props(['icon', 'value', 'label', 'trend' => null])

<x-card>
    <div class="flex items-center gap-4">
        <div class="p-3 bg-gold/10 rounded-lg">
            <flux:icon :name="$icon" class="w-6 h-6 text-gold" />
        </div>
        <div>
            <div class="text-2xl font-bold text-navy">{{ $value }}</div>
            <div class="text-sm text-charcoal/70">{{ $label }}</div>
            @if($trend)
                <div class="text-xs {{ $trend > 0 ? 'text-success' : 'text-danger' }}">
                    {{ $trend > 0 ? '+' : '' }}{{ $trend }}%
                </div>
            @endif
        </div>
    </div>
</x-card>

Edge Cases

Null/Zero Trend: Stat card should gracefully handle null trend (hidden) and 0 trend (show as neutral)
RTL Layout: Cards with border-s-4 will automatically flip border to right side in RTL mode
Container Overflow: Content exceeding max-width should be contained; consider horizontal scroll for tables
Missing Icon: Handle gracefully if Flux icon name doesn't exist (fallback or hide icon container)
Empty Cards: Ensure cards maintain minimum height even with minimal content

Testing Requirements

Unit Tests

Card component renders with default variant
Card component renders with elevated variant
Card component applies hover classes when hover=true
Card component applies highlight border when highlight=true
Stat card displays value and label correctly
Stat card shows positive trend with + prefix and success color
Stat card shows negative trend with danger color
Stat card hides trend indicator when trend=null

Visual/Browser Tests

Hover lift effect animates smoothly
Shadow transitions on hover
Cards display correctly in RTL layout
Container centers content and respects max-width
Responsive behavior at all breakpoints

Test File Location

tests/Feature/Components/CardComponentTest.php

Definition of Done

Claude Opus 4.5 (claude-opus-4-5-20251101)

Completion Notes

Created resources/views/components/ui/card.blade.php with variants (default/elevated), hover effects, and highlight border
Created resources/views/components/ui/stat-card.blade.php with icon, value, label, and trend indicator support
Added CSS classes in resources/css/app.css: .container-max, .shadow-card, .shadow-card-hover
Card component uses custom shadow (0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.1)) per specs
Stat card handles null trend (hidden), zero trend (neutral color), positive trend (+prefix, success), negative trend (danger)
Icon container conditionally renders only when icon prop is provided
RTL support via border-s-4 (logical property flips automatically)
All 17 component tests pass

Added zero trend handling with neutral color	Edge case per story specs
Conditional icon container rendering	Handle missing icon gracefully per edge cases
`border-s-4` for highlight	Logical property for automatic RTL support

QA Results

Review Date: 2026-01-03

Reviewed By: Quinn (Test Architect)

Risk Assessment

Risk Level: LOW
Justification:
- UI-only story (no auth/payment/security concerns)
- < 500 lines changed
- Story has 6 acceptance criteria (moderate complexity)
- No previous gate failures
- Tests included

Code Quality Assessment

Overall: Excellent implementation that fully meets specifications.

The implementation demonstrates strong adherence to project standards:

Card component (card.blade.php:1-30) - Clean, well-structured Blade component using @props correctly
Stat card (stat-card.blade.php:1-34) - Proper composition pattern using <x-ui.card> wrapper
CSS classes (app.css:414-428) - Custom shadow values match exact spec requirements

Strengths:

Match expression used effectively in both components for clean conditional logic
Proper use of logical CSS property (border-s-4) for automatic RTL support
Edge cases handled: null trend hidden, zero trend neutral, missing icon gracefully handled
Custom CSS classes keep exact shadow values from spec (0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.1))

Code patterns followed correctly:

Flux UI integration pattern maintained
Blade component conventions followed
CSS layer organization consistent with existing codebase

Refactoring Performed

None required - code quality is excellent.

Given-When-Then mapping:

Given default card → When rendered → Then has bg-cream, rounded-lg, p-6, shadow-card ✓
Given elevated variant → When rendered → Then has shadow-md instead of shadow-card ✓
Given hover=true → When rendered → Then has hover classes + cursor-pointer ✓
Given highlight=true → When rendered → Then has border-s-4 border-gold ✓
Given stat card with positive trend → When rendered → Then shows +prefix, text-success ✓
Given stat card with negative trend → When rendered → Then shows text-danger ✓
Given stat card with null trend → When rendered → Then hides trend indicator ✓
Given stat card with zero trend → When rendered → Then shows neutral color ✓
Given stat card without icon → When rendered → Then hides icon container ✓

Edge cases covered:

✓ Null trend handling
✓ Zero trend (neutral color)
✓ Missing icon gracefully handled
✓ Multiple props combined

Gaps identified: None
