Collaborating Partner Page Migration to PageBlock

Overview

This document details the migration of the Collaborating Partner page from the old FormCard/FormGrid structure to the new PageBlock unified API structure, matching the implementation pattern used in the Contact page.

Date: 2025-10-16

Goal

Transform the collaborating partner page to use PageBlock with the exact same structure as the contact page:

• Clean header with 2 rows (search/filters/actions + view/selection/columns)
• Body with grid layout using TWResponsiveCard components
• Sticky header and footer
• Integrated pagination
• TWTab navigation for Collaborators and Invitations History

---

Current Structure (Before Migration)

app/company/collaboratingpartner/page.tsx
├── TWTabProvider
│   ├── TWTab: "Collaborators"
│   └── TWTab: "Invitations history"
├── TWTabContent (collaborators)
│   └── CollaboratingPartnerListCard
│       ├── FormCard (container)
│       ├── FormGrid (search + filters)
│       ├── FormGrid (selection summary)
│       └── FormGrid (ResponsiveScaleCard components)
└── TWTabContent (invitations_history)
    └── InvitationsHistoryList
        └── InvitationsTable
            ├── topContent (search + filters)
            ├── TableBody (HeroUI Table)
            └── bottomContent (pagination)

Problems with Current Structure:

1. Uses old FormCard/FormGrid system
2. Uses ResponsiveScaleCard instead of TWResponsiveCard
3. Different UX from contact page
4. No PageBlock benefits (sticky headers, unified API)
5. Pagination mixed into table component

---

Target Structure (After Migration)

app/company/collaboratingpartner/page.tsx
├── TWTabProvider
│   ├── TWTab Navigation (outside PageBlocks)
│   ├── TWTabContent (collaborators)
│   │   └── PageBlock
│   │       ├── header (2 rows)
│   │       ├── body (grid of TWResponsiveCard)
│   │       └── pagination (footer)
│   └── TWTabContent (invitations_history)
│       └── PageBlock
│           ├── header (search + filters)
│           ├── body (InvitationsTable)
│           └── pagination (footer)

Benefits of New Structure:

1. Consistent with contact page UX
2. Uses TWResponsiveCard with card config system
3. Clean PageBlock structure
4. Sticky headers and footers
5. Unified pagination API
6. No extra wrappers or containers

Implementation Steps

Step 1: Create Backups ✅

mkdir -p backups/collaborating-partner-migration
cp app/company/collaboratingpartner/page.tsx backups/collaborating-partner-migration/page.tsx.backup
cp components/reusable/collaboratinpartner/InvitationsTable.tsx backups/collaborating-partner-migration/InvitationsTable.tsx.backup
cp lib/types/collaboratingPartner.ts backups/collaborating-partner-migration/collaboratingPartner.ts.backup

Step 2: Create Card Config ✅

File: components/ux/TWResponsiveCard/cardBuilder/configs/collaboratingPartnerConfig.ts

import { createConfig } from "../cardBuilder"

export const COLLABORATING_PARTNER_CONFIG = createConfig({
  cardType: "collaboratingPartner",
  fields: {
    id: "id",
    title: ["firstName", "middleName", "lastName"],
    subtitle: "email",
    avatar: "profilePicture",
    tags: "status",
    info: [
      { label: "Company", source: "company" },
      { label: "Email", source: "email", linkType: "mailto" },
      { label: "Role", source: "role" },
      { label: "Invited", source: "invitedAt" },
    ],
  },
  blocks: {
    badges: true,
    info: true,
    actionLinks: true,
    metadata: true,
  },
  actions: {
    footer: ["view"],
    menu: ["edit", "delete"],
  },
})

Step 3: Update Main Page Structure

File: app/company/collaboratingpartner/page.tsx

Key Pattern from Contact Page:

<PageBlock
  header={headerContent}
  headerMode="sticky"
  footerMode="sticky"
  scrollY="auto"
  contentPadding="md"
  elevateHeader
  elevateFooter
  body={{
    layout: "grid",
    grid: { columns, gap: "md", autoReduce: false },
    children: cardComponents
  }}
  pagination={{
    enabled: true,
    currentPage,
    itemsPerPage,
    totalItems: filtered.length,
    itemsPerPageOptions: [10, 20, 30, 40, 50],
    onPageChange,
    onItemsPerPageChange,
    position: "footer",
  }}
>
  <></>
</PageBlock>

Header Structure (2 Rows):

const headerContent = (
  <div className="flex flex-col w-full">
    {/* Row 1: Search + Filters + Actions */}
    <div className="flex items-center gap-3 w-full flex-wrap pb-1">
      <div className="flex-1 min-w-[100px]">
        <TWInput size="sm" variant="bordered" label="Search..." />
      </div>
      <div className="flex-1 min-w-[200px]">
        <TWSelectAutocomplete label="Filters" />
      </div>
      <div className="flex items-center gap-2 ml-auto">
        <TWButton label="Action" />
      </div>
    </div>

    {/* Row 2: View Toggle + Selection + Columns */}
    <div className="flex items-center gap-2 pb-2 flex-wrap w-full">
      {/* View toggle */}
      <div className="flex items-center gap-0.5 bg-gray-100 rounded-md p-0.5 shrink-0">
        {/* Grid/List/Table buttons */}
      </div>

      {/* Selection count + actions */}
      <div className="flex items-center justify-center gap-1.5 flex-wrap flex-1 min-w-0">
        {/* Selection UI */}
      </div>

      {/* Column selector */}
      {viewMode === "grid" && (
        <div className="flex items-center gap-1.5 shrink-0">
          {/* 2/3/4 column buttons */}
        </div>
      )}
    </div>
  </div>
)

Step 4: Build Cards Using Config System

// Map collaborators to card format
const cardProps = useMemo(
  () => buildCardsFromConfig(
    COLLABORATING_PARTNER_CONFIG,
    filtered,
    {
      onViewDetails: (id) => router.push(`/company/collaboratingpartner/${id}`),
      onEditClick: (id) => { /* edit logic */ },
      onDeleteClick: (id) => { /* delete logic */ },
    }
  ),
  [filtered, router]
)

// Render in PageBlock body
body={{
  layout: "grid",
  grid: { columns, gap: "md", autoReduce: false },
  children: cardProps.map((props, index) => (
    <CardErrorBoundary key={filtered[index].id}>
      <ResponsiveCard
        {...props}
        selectable={true}
        selected={isSelected(filtered[index].id)}
        onSelectChange={(selected) => handleSelectionChange(filtered[index].id, selected)}
      />
    </CardErrorBoundary>
  ))
}}

Step 5: Update InvitationsTable

Remove topContent and bottomContent props. PageBlock will handle these.

Before:

<Table
  topContent={topContent}
  bottomContent={bottomContent}
  ...
/>

After:

<Table
  // No topContent
  // No bottomContent
  ...
/>

Common Issues & Solutions

Issue 1: Cards not displaying

Solution: Check that filtered array has data and cardProps is being built correctly. Verify COLLABORATING_PARTNER_CONFIG is exported.

Issue 2: Pagination not working

Solution: Verify pagination config has all required fields: enabled, currentPage, itemsPerPage, totalItems, onPageChange, onItemsPerPageChange.

Issue 3: Selection not working

Solution: Check that selectedIds state is being updated correctly in onSelectChange handler.

Issue 4: Header rows not showing

Solution: Verify header content is wrapped in <div className="flex flex-col w-full"> and each row has proper spacing classes.

Issue 5: InvitationsTable broken

Solution: Ensure InvitationsTable still receives all props except topContent and bottomContent. Pagination is now handled by PageBlock.
