Definition of Done
- Volt component created at
resources/views/livewire/client/dashboard.blade.php - Route registered and protected with auth middleware
- All 5 widgets display correctly with real data
- Data strictly scoped to authenticated user (security verified)
- Empty states display appropriately for each widget
- Mobile responsive (tested on 375px viewport)
- Bilingual content working (AR/EN toggle)
- All test scenarios pass
- Code formatted with
vendor/bin/pint --dirty - No console errors or warnings
Estimation
Complexity: Medium | Effort: 4-5 hours
Out of Scope
- Consultation detail view (Story 7.2)
- Timeline detail view (Story 7.3)
- Booking form functionality (Story 7.5)
- Real-time updates via websockets
QA Results
Review Date: 2025-12-28
Reviewed By: Quinn (Test Architect)
Code Quality Assessment
The implementation is well-structured and follows project coding standards. The Volt component uses the class-based pattern correctly, queries are efficient with proper scoping to the authenticated user, and all Flux UI components are used appropriately. The bilingual support is complete with both English and Arabic translations. The component demonstrates good practices with proper separation of concerns in the with() method.
Refactoring Performed
None required - the code quality is already satisfactory.
Compliance Check
- Coding Standards: ✓ Class-based Volt pattern, Flux UI components, proper localization
- Project Structure: ✓ Files placed in correct locations, routes properly configured
- Testing Strategy: ✓ 24 comprehensive Pest tests with Volt::test() pattern
- All ACs Met: ✓ All acceptance criteria implemented and tested
Improvements Checklist
- All data scoped to authenticated user (verified via tests)
- Empty states display appropriately for all widgets
- Mobile responsive layout with card grid
- Bilingual content working (AR/EN)
- All 24 tests passing
- Code formatted with pint --dirty
- Consider extracting the
reorder()->latest()pattern in blade (line 122) to a dedicated model method or scope for cleaner reuse
Security Review
No security concerns found:
- Route protected with
authandclientmiddleware - Admin users properly blocked (403 response verified by test)
- All data queries scoped to authenticated user
- No SQL injection risks (Eloquent used throughout)
- Proper authorization boundaries between clients
Performance Considerations
No significant performance concerns:
- Queries are efficient with proper indexing on foreign keys
take(3)limits recent updates query- Eager loading used for timeline relationship on updates
- Consider adding database index on
booking_dateif consultation queries become slow (future optimization)
Files Modified During Review
None - no modifications made.

File List
| File | Action | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
resources/views/livewire/client/dashboard.blade.php |
Created | Main client dashboard Volt component with 5 widgets |
routes/web.php |
Modified | Changed client dashboard route to use Volt::route() |
lang/en/client.php |
Modified | Added dashboard localization keys |
lang/ar/client.php |
Modified | Added Arabic dashboard localization keys |
tests/Feature/Client/DashboardTest.php |
Created | 24 feature tests for client dashboard |
resources/views/livewire/client/dashboard-placeholder.blade.php |
Deleted | Removed placeholder file |
Change Log
- Created client dashboard Volt component with Welcome Section, Upcoming Consultation Widget, Active Cases Widget, Recent Updates Widget, and Booking Status Widget
- Updated route from
Route::view()toVolt::route()for proper Livewire component rendering - Added 18 localization keys for dashboard UI in both English and Arabic
- Implemented proper data scoping to authenticated user only
- Used existing
x-layouts.applayout (no need for separate client layout) - Fixed query ordering issue with
reorder()for timeline updates relationship - All 24 tests pass covering authorization, data display, empty states, and booking status logic
Completion Notes
- Skeleton loaders not implemented (Livewire handles loading states automatically via wire:loading)
- Consultation model uses
booking_date/booking_timecolumns (notscheduled_date/scheduled_timeas in story spec) - Client layout reuses existing
app.blade.phplayout which supports both admin and client contexts
