Gig  Overview: This document defines the scope for integrating the Resources and Onboarding feature of an educational platform. The feature includes components such as tables, forms, buttons, video players, export buttons, and active tabs. The implementation will utilize Vue.js Composition API(script setup) and Tailwind CSS for styling. The focus will be on integration, testing, error handling, and debugging, assuming the interface design is complete. Below you are provided with a link to the UI Figma design, API documentation, and also a repository link.

Goals

1. Seamless Integration: Ensure all components function cohesively within the Resources and Onboarding feature.

2. Error-Free Deployment: Identify and resolve any issues during development and deployment.

3. Accurate Data Rendering: Guarantee that tables, forms, and video players display and process correct and updated information.

4. High-Quality User Experience: Deliver a responsive and error-free experience across all components.

Deliverables

1. Integration:

• Implement the  Resources and Onboarding functionality using Vue.js Composition API with script setup.

• Style the interface using Tailwind CSS to match the existing platform design.

• Connect the front-end interface to the back-end API for fetching and displaying information.

• Integrate dynamic data into tables, forms, video players, and export functionality.

• Enable filter and search functionality for real-time data filtering.

Testing:

• Unit Testing: Test individual components using tools like Jest or Vue Test Utils.

• Integration Testing: Validate real-time message flow between the client and server.

• Responsive Design Testing: Ensure compatibility across devices and screen sizes.

• Cross-Browser Testing: Verify functionality in major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).

Error Handling:

• Implement clear error messages for scenarios such as failed API calls or missing data.

• Handle API errors gracefully, including network issues and server-side validation errors.

• Log errors to the console and monitoring tools for debugging purposes.

Debugging:

• Use Vue DevTools to inspect component states and props.

• Leverage browser developer tools to debug layout, performance, and network issues.

• Monitor API interactions and responses using tools like Postman or the browser network tab.

• Ensure identified bugs are resolved and retested before release.

• Debug real-time events for the live chat using WebSocket or REST API monitoring tools.

Integration Steps

1. Setup and Configuration:

• Extend the existing Tailwind CSS configuration.

• Set up a centralized state management system (e.g., Pinia or Vue’s reactive API) if required.

API Integration:

• Connect all components to relevant back-end endpoints.

• Use Axios for API calls and handle asynchronous data updates.

• Ensure efficient data handling and state updates on the client side with lazy loading as required.

Component Integration:

• Implement forms for resource creation and management with validation.

• Enable viewing and interaction with video players for onboarding tutorials and resources.

• Create sortable, paginated, and filterable tables displaying relevant data.

• Build a robust search and filter mechanism linked to tables.

• Implement functionality to export table data as CSV or Excel files.

• Display actionable and dismissible notifications for administrators.

• Integrate active tab navigation for seamless user interaction.

State Management:

• Use Vue 3’s reactive and ref features to manage settings state and API responses.

• Implement state watchers and computed properties as needed.

• Implement reactive state handling for shared data (e.g., selected resources).

Error Handling Plan

• Frontend Validation:

  • Validate user input in forms.

  • Display warnings for unsupported data formats.

• Backend Validation:

  • Ensure the back-end validates requests and returns meaningful error responses.

• User Notifications:

  • Display error messages for issues like invalid input, failed API calls, and network errors.

Debugging Tools and Techniques

1. Vue DevTools :  Inspect component states and events.

2. Console Logging :  Use structured logs for tracking execution and debugging.

3. Toastification :  Use toast for  error messages.

4. Network Tab :  Monitor API requests and responses.

5. Error Tracking Tools :  Integrate tools like Sentry or LogRocket for comprehensive error monitoring.

Gig Timeline

Success Criteria

• All components (tables, forms, buttons, video players, export functionality,  active tabs) are fully functional and integrated.

• No critical or major bugs remain after testing.

• The feature is responsive and performs well across devices and browsers. 

• Administrators can seamlessly interact with all features as intended.

Expectations: 

   As a Techo chosen to participate in this gig, we have some expectations.

• Timely Completion: complete each gig within the given timeframe. If the gig has not been completed within this frame, the project will be re-assigned.

• Communication: Stay in touch with the Community Manager for guidance, support and feedback throughout the project. This can be done through the chat box in the My Gigs section underneath the gig description.

• Work-Ethic Alignment: Make a concerted effort to comply with our standards.
