Media Library Dashboard Design

MudBlazor Media Library provides a media management page with a left navigation, folder tree and card gallery. Uses MudGrid cards and MudTabs with MudTextField search in a responsive layout.

## What's implemented - Sidebar navigation and account block built with MudPaper and MudText. - Top header with actions: New media button, view and filter icon buttons, and a MudTextField search. - MudTabs for Content / Media switching. - Left folder/search panel with a searchable list of folders. - Drop area for file upload (UI placeholder, no upload handler). - MudGrid of media cards generated from a list; each card shows thumbnail, title and action icons. ## Key components - MudPaper, MudText, MudButton, MudIconButton - MudTextField (search inputs, @bind-Value) - MudTabs, MudTabPanel - MudGrid, MudItem - MudImage - Reusable MediaCard component with a [Parameter] MediaItemModel - MediaItemModel (Id, Name, ThumbnailUrl, IsFavorite) ## How it works - Data is provided by local lists in the page (@code): _otherFolders and _mediaItems. The page uses a foreach to render MudItem elements inside MudGrid. - MudTextField uses @bind-Value for _headerSearch and _folderSearch; these values are present but no filtering logic is wired. - MediaCard receives a MediaItemModel via a [Parameter] and renders UI state (favorite icon toggled visually based on IsFavorite). - Buttons and icon buttons are present but their click handlers/events are not implemented in the provided code. ## Styling - Uses MudBlazor components and utility classes (pa-4, d-flex, mb-3, ml-2, mr-4, flex-1) for spacing and layout. - MudGrid breakpoints (xs, sm, md, lg) provide responsive card columns. - Visual emphasis relies on MudBlazor theme colors and component variants rather than external CSS frameworks. ## Reuse steps 1. Install MudBlazor NuGet and add using MudBlazor in _Imports.razor. 2. Register MudBlazor services in Program.cs (e.g., builder.Services.AddMudServices()). 3. Add a MediaItemModel class and the MediaCard component to the shared/components folder. 4. Copy the page razor markup and route (/media-library) into Pages; ensure icons and MudBlazor namespace are available. 5. Replace the sample lists with real data services, implement search/filter logic, and add upload/drag-drop handlers. ## Limitations & next steps - No data access layer: the page uses in-memory lists; services or HTTP clients must be wired to load/save media. - Upload and drag-drop area is a placeholder: implement input type=file or JS interop for drag-drop and server upload. - No filtering, pagination, or sorting logic: implement server-side or client-side filtering using _headerSearch/_folderSearch. - Actions (edit, more, favorite toggle) lack event handlers and confirmation dialogs; add event callbacks and optional MudDialog for edits. - Consider accessibility (aria labels on icon buttons), keyboard navigation, and lazy-loading thumbnails for large libraries. This component is a single-page UI scaffold generated by Instruct UI; it is editable and intended to be wired into application services, auth, and persistence.
