## What's implemented A high-level dashboard structure designed for administrative tasks (Dairy Technical Management). The layout includes: * Responsive application structure using `MudLayout`, `MudAppBar`, and fixed footer. * Persistent, responsive navigation drawer (`MudDrawer`) containing links to major sections (Visits, Schedules, Clients, Employees). * A main content area featuring a grid of action cards (`MudCard`) providing quick links and summaries for key management functions. ## Key components * `MudLayout`, `MudAppBar`, `MudDrawer`: Structures the primary application shell and responsive navigation. * `MudThemeProvider`: Defines a custom color palette (`_customTheme`) for a modern, clean interface. * `MudNavMenu`, `MudNavLink`: Used for site navigation within the drawer. * `MudGrid`, `MudItem`, `MudCard`: Organizes the main dashboard content into responsive cards. * `MudIcon`, `MudAvatar`, `MudText`: Used for visual hierarchy and display of information. ## How it works The application utilizes C# code-behind logic to manage the `_drawerOpen` state, allowing the navigation drawer to be toggled on mobile and fixed on desktop. Dashboard functionality is represented by a list of `DashboardCard` model objects, which are iterated over using an `@foreach` loop to dynamically populate the `MudCard` grid, minimizing component duplication. ## Styling Styling relies on a custom `MudTheme` to set modern blue primary colors and clean white backgrounds. Custom CSS is used to enhance the standard MudBlazor components, implementing effects like gradient headers (`.modern-drawer-header`), rounded, animated navigation links (`.modern-nav-link`), and subtle hover effects (`.hover-effect`) on the dashboard cards, ensuring a polished UI and responsive layout. ## Reuse steps 1. Install the MudBlazor NuGet package. 2. Register MudBlazor services in `Program.cs`. 3. Integrate the `DairyManagementDashboard.razor` component into the application's routing. 4. Add the provided custom CSS to your global stylesheet (`app.css` or equivalent). 5. Adjust the C# `DashboardCard` model and data list to match required application sections. 6. Wire up navigation links (`Href`) to corresponding application pages. ## Limitations & next steps This component provides the frontend structure and navigation but requires backend wiring. Next steps include connecting the navigation links to actual Blazor pages, implementing data services for the dashboard card metrics (if applicable), and implementing user authentication logic (currently featuring only a logout button).
