  - table.blade.php                      # Table wrapper component

Tailwind 4 Responsive Approach

Use mobile-first with Tailwind's responsive prefixes:

/* In resources/css/app.css - add to @theme if needed */

/* Mobile-first grid example */
.dashboard-grid {
  @apply grid gap-4;
  @apply grid-cols-1;      /* Mobile: single column */
  @apply sm:grid-cols-2;   /* Tablet: 2 columns */
  @apply lg:grid-cols-3;   /* Desktop: 3 columns */
  @apply xl:grid-cols-4;   /* Large: 4 columns */
}

/* Touch-friendly targets */
.touch-target {
  @apply min-h-[44px] min-w-[44px];
}

/* Responsive table wrapper */
.table-responsive {
  @apply overflow-x-auto -mx-4 px-4;
  @apply sm:mx-0 sm:px-0;  /* Remove negative margin on larger screens */
}

/* Collapsible sidebar - uses logical properties for RTL */
@media (max-width: 991px) {
  .sidebar {
    @apply fixed inset-y-0 start-0 w-64;
    @apply transform -translate-x-full transition-transform duration-200;
    @apply z-40 bg-navy-900;
  }
  .sidebar.open {
    @apply translate-x-0;
  }
  /* RTL: sidebar comes from right */
  [dir="rtl"] .sidebar {
    @apply end-0 start-auto translate-x-full;
  }
  [dir="rtl"] .sidebar.open {
    @apply translate-x-0;
  }
}

Flux UI Responsive Behavior

Flux UI components have built-in responsive behavior
<flux:modal> automatically handles responsive sizing
<flux:dropdown> positions correctly on mobile
Override with Tailwind classes when Flux defaults insufficient

Preventing Horizontal Scroll

/* Add to base styles */
html, body {
  @apply overflow-x-hidden;
}

/* Ensure images/media don't overflow */
img, video, iframe {
  @apply max-w-full h-auto;
}

Testing Strategy

Testing Approach

Browser DevTools: Primary method for rapid iteration
Real Devices: Final verification on actual phones/tablets
Both Languages: Test each breakpoint in English (LTR) AND Arabic (RTL)

Test Devices/Viewports

Device	Width	Type
iPhone SE	375px	Mobile
iPhone 14	390px	Mobile
iPhone 14 Pro Max	430px	Mobile (large)
iPad	768px	Tablet
iPad Pro	1024px	Tablet (large)
Desktop	1280px	Desktop
Large Desktop	1920px	Large Desktop

Key Test Scenarios

Mobile (375px - English & Arabic):

Navigate from landing page to login
Complete full booking flow (select date, fill form, submit)
View consultation list and detail
View case timeline
Open and close mobile navigation menu
Submit a form with validation errors
Scroll through long table (user list)

Tablet (768px - English & Arabic):

Toggle sidebar open/closed
View dashboard with 2-column stat cards
Use calendar in booking flow
Manage users in table view

Desktop (1280px - English & Arabic):

Verify sidebar is persistent
Dashboard shows 3-4 column grids
Full table columns visible
Calendar shows month view

Automated Testing (Optional)

Consider Pest browser tests for critical flows:

it('booking form works on mobile', function () {
    $this->browse(function ($browser) {
        $browser->resize(375, 667)
            ->visit('/booking')
            ->assertVisible('.booking-form')
            ->type('summary', 'Test consultation')
            ->press('Submit')
            ->assertSee('Request submitted');
    });
});

Definition of Done

All pages render correctly at mobile breakpoint (375px) in both LTR and RTL
All pages render correctly at tablet breakpoint (768px) in both LTR and RTL
All pages render correctly at desktop breakpoint (1280px) in both LTR and RTL
No horizontal page scroll at any viewport width from 320px to 1920px
All interactive elements meet 44px minimum touch target
Booking form with calendar fully functional on mobile
All data tables horizontally scrollable without breaking layout
Mobile navigation menu opens/closes smoothly
Sidebar collapses correctly on tablet (from correct side for RTL)
Modal dialogs display correctly on all breakpoints
Code formatted with vendor/bin/pint --dirty
Manual testing completed on at least one real mobile device

Out of Scope

Native mobile app development
Print stylesheets
Email template responsiveness (covered in separate story)
Performance optimization (separate concern)

Estimation

Complexity: High | Effort: 5-6 hours

Notes for Developer

Start with mobile layouts, then progressively enhance for larger screens
Use Tailwind's responsive prefixes (sm:, md:, lg:, xl:) consistently
Prefer logical properties (start-, end-, ms-, me-) over directional (left-, right-, ml-, mr-) for RTL compatibility
Test frequently in browser DevTools during development
If a component from Flux UI doesn't behave responsively as expected, check Flux docs first before overriding

QA Results

Review Date: 2026-01-03

Reviewed By: Quinn (Test Architect)

Code Quality Assessment

Overall: EXCELLENT

The implementation demonstrates exemplary responsive design work with thorough coverage of all acceptance criteria. Key observations:

CSS Architecture: The app.css responsive design system is well-organized with clear comments referencing PRD Section 7.4. Mobile-first approach is consistently applied using Tailwind's breakpoint prefixes (sm:, lg:, xl:).
Touch Accessibility: All interactive elements consistently use min-h-[44px] and min-w-[44px] meeting Apple HIG recommendations for touch targets.
RTL Support: Excellent use of logical properties (start-0, end-0, ps-, pe-) and RTL-aware sidebar collapse implementation ensures proper bidirectional layout support.
Grid Systems: The dashboard-grid, stats-grid, widget-grid, and time-slots-grid classes provide consistent responsive column layouts across the application.
Table Handling: The table-scroll-wrapper class with -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch ensures smooth horizontal scrolling on mobile without page-level overflow.
Test Coverage: 35 comprehensive tests verify CSS class presence and markup patterns. Tests are well-organized by component/page area.

Refactoring Performed

None required - the implementation quality is high and follows best practices.

Compliance Check

Coding Standards: PASS - Pint formatting is clean (vendor/bin/pint --dirty passes)
Project Structure: PASS - Files organized correctly per source tree
Testing Strategy: PASS - 35 feature tests covering responsive design aspects
All ACs Met: PASS - All 27 acceptance criteria checked off in story

Improvements Checklist

All items completed by developer:

Responsive utility classes in app.css
Touch-friendly targets (44px minimum)
Mobile-first breakpoint approach
RTL-aware sidebar collapse
Table horizontal scroll wrapper
Empty state styling consistency
Calendar touch-friendly cells
Comprehensive test coverage

Recommendations for future consideration:

Add visual regression tests with browser automation (e.g., Pest browser tests with viewport resizing)
Consider CSS custom properties for responsive spacing values for easier theming
Document responsive breakpoints in a developer guide/README

Security Review

No security concerns. This story focuses on CSS styling and markup changes only. No authentication, authorization, or data handling logic was modified.

Performance Considerations

No issues identified. The responsive CSS uses standard Tailwind utilities which are tree-shaken during build. No JavaScript-based responsive logic was added that could impact performance.

Positive notes:

overflow-x-hidden on html/body prevents accidental horizontal scroll
Table scroll wrapper uses native scrolling with touch optimization
Grid layouts use CSS Grid which is hardware-accelerated

Files Modified During Review

None - no modifications were necessary.

Gate Status

Gate: PASS → docs/qa/gates/9.9-responsive-design-implementation.yml

Recommended Status

Ready for Done - All acceptance criteria met, tests pass, code quality is excellent.

Note: Manual testing on real mobile device is listed as pending in Definition of Done. Story owner should coordinate device testing before final closure.
