Instruct UI - An AI for Blazor UI Generation
## What's implemented
- Three-column event overview separated into Ongoing, Upcoming, and Past lists.
- Card-style list items with image thumbnails, date ranges, location and description.
- Client-side categorization using DateTime and LINQ queries.
- Child component for reusable event item rendering (card content).
## Key components
- Razor page with @page and @code block
- EventModel (POCO) for event data
- Child component: EventCardContent (Parameter-bound)
- Bootstrap classes: container, row, col-*, card, list-group
- C# LINQ queries (Where, OrderBy, OrderByDescending)
- Standard HTML elements: img, h6, p, small, icons (FontAwesome)
## How it works
- Sample events are created in LoadSampleEvents and stored in AllEvents.
- CategorizeEvents runs on initialization (OnInitialized) and uses DateTime.Now with LINQ to split events into OngoingEvents, UpcomingEvents and PastEvents.
- The page iterates each list and renders EventCardContent for each item, passing EventModel via a [Parameter].
- No two-way @bind-* patterns are present; state updates run on component lifecycle methods and rely on in-memory lists.
## Styling
- Layout and visual styles rely on Bootstrap utility and component classes (container, row, col-lg, card, list-group, img-fluid).
- FontAwesome icon classes provide small visual affordances in headers and metadata lines.
- Cards are responsive via Bootstrap grid (col-lg / col-md) and image styling uses object-fit to maintain aspect ratio.
## Reuse steps
1. Add the EventModel and the Razor files to a Blazor project (Server or WebAssembly).
2. Ensure Bootstrap and FontAwesome CSS are included in wwwroot/index.html or _Host.cshtml.
3. Import namespaces as needed and register any services (if events come from an API later).
4. Replace LoadSampleEvents with an async data call to an injected service or HttpClient, then update CategorizeEvents after data load.
5. Add routing or a detail page and wire navigation from each card if event drill-down is required.
## Limitations & next steps
- This is a single-page UI generated by Instruct UI and uses in-memory sample data; a backend service, persistence, and authentication are not wired.
- Time zone handling and culture-specific date formatting require attention when replacing sample data with real APIs.
- Consider adding search, paging, virtualized lists, click-to-detail routes, and ARIA attributes for accessibility.
- For dynamic updates, expose methods to refresh categories after CRUD operations and move data loading to async lifecycle methods.
