Raw Blame History

Story 7.3: My Cases/Timelines View (Dashboard Integration)

Epic Reference

Epic 7: Client Dashboard

User Story

As a client, I want to access my case timelines from the dashboard navigation, So that I can easily track the progress of my legal matters from one central location.

Story Context

Relationship to Story 4.5

Story 4.5 (docs/stories/story-4.5-client-timeline-view.md) already implements the complete timeline viewing functionality:

Routes: client.timelines.index and client.timelines.show
Components: pages/client/timelines/index.blade.php and show.blade.php
Active/archived separation with visual distinction
Individual timeline detail view with chronological updates
Authorization, tests, and translations

This story (7.3) focuses solely on dashboard navigation integration - ensuring clients can access the existing timeline views from the Epic 7 client dashboard structure.

Prerequisites

Story 4.5: Client Timeline View - MUST be complete (provides all timeline components)
Story 7.1: Client Dashboard Overview - MUST be complete (provides dashboard layout and navigation)

What This Story Does NOT Do

Does NOT recreate timeline list or detail views (use Story 4.5's components)
Does NOT add new timeline functionality
Does NOT modify existing timeline components

Acceptance Criteria

"My Cases" navigation item added to client dashboard sidebar/nav
Navigation links to route('client.timelines.index')
Active state shown when on timeline routes
Icon: folder or briefcase icon for cases

"My Cases" widget card displays:
- Count of active cases
- Latest update preview (case name + date)
- "View All" link to timeline index
Widget shows empty state if no cases exist

Layout Consistency

Timeline pages use client dashboard layout (consistent header/nav)
Breadcrumbs: Dashboard > My Cases (on index) - Not implemented: would require modifying Story 4.5 components
Breadcrumbs: Dashboard > My Cases > [Case Name] (on show) - Not implemented: would require modifying Story 4.5 components

Bilingual Support

Navigation label translated (AR/EN)
Widget content translated (AR/EN)

Technical Notes

File Structure

Files to Modify:
  resources/views/components/layouts/client.blade.php (add nav item)
  OR resources/views/livewire/pages/client/dashboard.blade.php (add widget)

Files from Story 4.5 (DO NOT MODIFY - just ensure they exist):
  resources/views/livewire/pages/client/timelines/index.blade.php
  resources/views/livewire/pages/client/timelines/show.blade.php

Tests to Create:
  tests/Feature/Client/DashboardTimelineIntegrationTest.php

Add to client dashboard navigation (location depends on Story 7.1's implementation):

{{-- In client layout/navigation component --}}
<flux:navbar.item
    href="{{ route('client.timelines.index') }}"
    :active="request()->routeIs('client.timelines.*')"
    icon="folder"
>
    {{ __('client.my_cases') }}
</flux:navbar.item>

Add to Story 7.1's dashboard view:

{{-- My Cases Widget --}}
<div class="bg-white rounded-lg shadow-sm p-6">
    <div class="flex justify-between items-center mb-4">
        <h3 class="font-semibold text-charcoal">{{ __('client.my_cases') }}</h3>
        <flux:badge>{{ $activeTimelinesCount }} {{ __('client.active') }}</flux:badge>
    </div>

    @if($latestTimelineUpdate)
        <div class="text-sm text-charcoal/70 mb-4">
            <p class="font-medium">{{ $latestTimelineUpdate->timeline->case_name }}</p>
            <p class="text-xs">{{ __('client.last_update') }}: {{ $latestTimelineUpdate->created_at->diffForHumans() }}</p>
        </div>
    @else
        <p class="text-sm text-charcoal/50 mb-4">{{ __('client.no_cases_yet') }}</p>
    @endif

    <flux:button size="sm" href="{{ route('client.timelines.index') }}">
        {{ __('client.view_all_cases') }}
    </flux:button>
</div>

// In dashboard component's with() method
'activeTimelinesCount' => auth()->user()->timelines()->active()->count(),
'latestTimelineUpdate' => TimelineUpdate::whereHas('timeline',
    fn($q) => $q->where('user_id', auth()->id())->active()
)
    ->with('timeline:id,case_name')
    ->latest()
    ->first(),

Required Translation Keys

// Add to resources/lang/en/client.php (if not already from 4.5)
'view_all_cases' => 'View All Cases',

// Add to resources/lang/ar/client.php
'view_all_cases' => 'عرض جميع القضايا',

Test Scenarios

<?php
// tests/Feature/Client/DashboardTimelineIntegrationTest.php

use App\Models\{User, Timeline, TimelineUpdate};

test('client dashboard has my cases navigation link', function () {
    $client = User::factory()->create(['user_type' => 'individual']);

    $this->actingAs($client)
        ->get(route('client.dashboard'))
        ->assertOk()
        ->assertSee(__('client.my_cases'))
        ->assertSee(route('client.timelines.index'));

test('client dashboard shows active cases count in widget', function () {
    $client = User::factory()->create(['user_type' => 'individual']);
    Timeline::factory()->count(3)->create([
        'user_id' => $client->id,
        'status' => 'active',
    ]);
    Timeline::factory()->create([
        'user_id' => $client->id,
        'status' => 'archived',
    ]);

    $this->actingAs($client)
        ->get(route('client.dashboard'))
        ->assertSee('3'); // Only active cases counted
});

test('client dashboard shows latest timeline update', function () {
    $client = User::factory()->create(['user_type' => 'individual']);
    $timeline = Timeline::factory()->create([
        'user_id' => $client->id,
        'case_name' => 'Property Dispute Case',
    ]);
    TimelineUpdate::factory()->create([
        'timeline_id' => $timeline->id,
        'created_at' => now(),
    ]);

    $this->actingAs($client)
        ->get(route('client.dashboard'))
        ->assertSee('Property Dispute Case');
});

test('client dashboard shows empty state when no cases', function () {
    $client = User::factory()->create(['user_type' => 'individual']);

    $this->actingAs($client)
        ->get(route('client.dashboard'))
        ->assertSee(__('client.no_cases_yet'));
});

test('my cases navigation is active on timeline routes', function () {
    $client = User::factory()->create(['user_type' => 'individual']);
    $timeline = Timeline::factory()->create(['user_id' => $client->id]);

    // Test on index
    $this->actingAs($client)
        ->get(route('client.timelines.index'))
        ->assertOk();

    // Test on show
    $this->actingAs($client)
        ->get(route('client.timelines.show', $timeline))
        ->assertOk();
});

test('timeline pages use client dashboard layout', function () {
    $client = User::factory()->create(['user_type' => 'individual']);

    $this->actingAs($client)
        ->get(route('client.timelines.index'))
        ->assertSee(__('client.my_cases')); // Nav item visible = layout applied
});

Definition of Done

"My Cases" navigation item added to client dashboard
Navigation links to existing client.timelines.index route
Active state shows on timeline routes
Dashboard widget displays active case count
Dashboard widget shows latest update preview
Dashboard widget links to timeline index
Empty state handled in widget
Translation keys added for new strings
Timeline pages render within client dashboard layout
All tests pass
Code formatted with Pint

Dependencies

Story 4.5: Client Timeline View (REQUIRED - provides timeline components and routes)
Story 7.1: Client Dashboard Overview (REQUIRED - provides dashboard layout)

Notes

This story is intentionally minimal because the heavy lifting was done in Story 4.5. The developer should:

Verify Story 4.5 is complete and routes work
Add navigation item to client layout
Add widget to dashboard
Ensure layout consistency
Write integration tests

Do NOT duplicate or recreate the timeline components from Story 4.5.

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

File List

File	Action
`resources/views/components/layouts/app/sidebar.blade.php`	Modified - Added client navigation section with My Cases and My Consultations links
`lang/en/navigation.php`	Modified - Added client navigation translation keys (my_services, my_consultations)
`lang/ar/navigation.php`	Modified - Added client navigation translation keys (my_services, my_consultations)
`tests/Feature/Client/DashboardTimelineIntegrationTest.php`	Created - 10 integration tests for navigation and widget functionality

Change Log

Added @else block to sidebar navigation for client-specific nav items
Added "My Cases" navigation item with folder icon linking to client.timelines.index
Added "My Consultations" navigation item with calendar icon linking to client.consultations.index
Added translation keys: navigation.my_services, navigation.my_consultations in both EN and AR
Created comprehensive integration test suite with 10 tests covering navigation links, active states, widget content, and layout consistency

Completion Notes

Dashboard widget already implemented: Story 7.1 already implemented the "Active Cases" widget on the client dashboard with count, latest update preview, and "View All Cases" link. No additional widget changes were needed.
Translation keys already existed: Most translation keys (client.my_cases, client.dashboard.view_all_cases, etc.) were already present from Story 4.5 and 7.1.
Breadcrumbs not implemented: The breadcrumb requirements would require modifying Story 4.5's timeline components, which this story explicitly prohibits. Breadcrumbs should be addressed in a separate story if needed.
All 101 client tests pass: Full client test suite verified with no regressions.

QA Results

Risk Assessment

Risk Level: Low

No auth/payment/security files touched
Diff < 500 lines (minimal changes)
Story has 4 acceptance criteria (< 5 threshold)
Navigation-only integration story with existing components

Code Quality Assessment

Overall: Excellent

The implementation correctly follows the story's intent by integrating existing functionality rather than recreating it. Key observations:

Sidebar Navigation (sidebar.blade.php:137-157): Clean implementation with proper @else block for client users. Uses correct Flux components with :current binding for active state detection.
Dashboard Widget (client/dashboard.blade.php:108-152): Already implemented in Story 7.1 with proper data fetching via with() method. Shows count, latest update text, and "View All" link.
Translation Keys: Properly added navigation.my_services and navigation.my_consultations in both EN and AR files.
