Example output
Great! Let's start by conceptualizing the purpose and structure of our task management dashboard. The component should display a list of tasks with priority labels, and users should be able to organize tasks through drag-and-drop. Additionally, the component should support real-time updates.
The structure of our component might include:
1. **TaskList Component:** Renders the list of tasks.
2. **Task Component:** Represents an individual task with priority labels.
3. **DragDropContext:** Provides the context for drag-and-drop functionality.
4. **Draggable and Droppable Components:** To make tasks draggable and define drop zones.
Now, let's write the initial React code:
```jsx
// TaskList.js
import React from 'react';
import Task from './Task';
const TaskList = ({ tasks }) => {
return (
<div>
<h2>Task List</h2>
{tasks.map((task) => (
<Task key={task.id} task={task} />
))}
</div>
);
};
export default TaskList;
```
```jsx
// Task.js
import React from 'react';
const Task = ({ task }) => {
return (
<div>
<p>{task.title}</p>
<span>Priority: {task.priority}</span>
</div>
);
};
export default Task;
```
```jsx
// App.js (or your main component)
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import TaskList from './TaskList';
const App = () => {
const [tasks, setTasks] = useState([
{ id: 1, title: 'Task 1', priority: 'High' },
{ id: 2, title: 'Task 2', priority: 'Medium' },
{ id: 3, title: 'Task 3', priority: 'Low' },
]);
return (
<div>
<h1>Task Management Dashboard</h1>
<TaskList tasks={tasks} />
</div>
);
};
export default App;
```
This sets up a basic structure for displaying tasks with priority labels. Now, let's move on to the next stage. If you're ready, type 'Continue.'
Great! Now, let's work on integrating drag-and-drop functionality using the `react-beautiful-dnd` library. Make sure to install it first:
```bash
npm install react-beautiful-dnd
```
Now, let's modify our components to enable drag-and-drop:
```jsx
// App.js
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { DragDropContext, Droppable } from 'react-beautiful-dnd';
import TaskList from './TaskList';
const App = () => {
const [tasks, setTasks] = useState([
{ id: 1, title: 'Task 1', priority: 'High' },
{ id: 2, title: 'Task 2', priority: 'Medium' },
{ id: 3, title: 'Task 3', priority: 'Low' },
]);
const handleDragEnd = (result) => {
if (!result.destination) return; // dropped outside the list
const newTasks = Array.from(tasks);
const [movedTask] = newTasks.splice(result.source.index, 1);
newTasks.splice(result.destination.index, 0, movedTask);
setTasks(newTasks);
};
return (
<DragDropContext onDragEnd={handleDragEnd}>
<Droppable droppableId="task-list">
{(provided) => (
<div {...provided.droppableProps} ref={provided.innerRef}>
<h1>Task Management Dashboard</h1>
<TaskList tasks={tasks} />
{provided.placeholder}
</div>
)}
</Droppable>
</DragDropContext>
);
};
export default App;
```
```jsx
// TaskList.js
import React from 'react';
import { Droppable } from 'react-beautiful-dnd';
import Task from './Task';
const TaskList = ({ tasks }) => {
return (
<Droppable droppableId="task-list">
{(provided) => (
<div {...provided.droppableProps} ref={provided.innerRef}>
<h2>Task List</h2>
{tasks.map((task, index) => (
<Task key={task.id} task={task} index={index} />
))}
{provided.placeholder}
</div>
)}
</Droppable>
);
};
export default TaskList;
```
```jsx
// Task.js
import React from 'react';
import { Draggable } from 'react-beautiful-dnd';
const Task = ({ task, index }) => {
return (
<Draggable draggableId={task.id.toString()} index={index}>
{(provided) => (
<div
{...provided.draggableProps}
{...provided.dragHandleProps}
ref={provided.innerRef}
>
<p>{task.title}</p>
<span>Priority: {task.priority}</span>
</div>
)}
</Draggable>
);
};
export default Task;
```
Now, tasks should be draggable within the task list! If you're ready to proceed, type 'Continue.'
Excellent! In the next stage, let's enhance the component further by adding real-time updates. We'll use the `react-query` library for managing the state and fetching data.
First, install `react-query`:
```bash
npm install react-query
```
Now, let's modify our `App.js` to fetch tasks from an API:
```jsx
// App.js
import React from 'react';
import { QueryClient, QueryClientProvider, useQuery } from 'react-query';
import { ReactQueryDevtools } from 'react-query/devtools';
import { DragDropContext, Droppable } from 'react-beautiful-dnd';
import TaskList from './TaskList';
const queryClient = new QueryClient();
const App = () => {
return (
<QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
<TaskDashboard />
<ReactQueryDevtools />
</QueryClientProvider>
);
};
const TaskDashboard = () => {
const { data: tasks } = useQuery('tasks', () =>
fetch('https://your-api-endpoint/tasks').then((res) => res.json())
);
return (
<DragDropContext onDragEnd={handleDragEnd}>
<Droppable droppableId="task-list">
{(provided) => (
<div {...provided.droppableProps} ref={provided.innerRef}>
<h1>Task Management Dashboard</h1>
{tasks && <TaskList tasks={tasks} />}
{provided.placeholder}
</div>
)}
</Droppable>
</DragDropContext>
);
};
// Define handleDragEnd function as before
export default App;
```
This example assumes that your API returns an array of tasks. Replace the API endpoint with your actual endpoint.
Now, tasks should be fetched from the API, and the order of tasks should persist in the backend. If you're ready, type 'Continue.'
Great! Now, let's add a feature to update the task's priority when dropped into a new position. We'll utilize the `useMutation` hook from `react-query` to handle the mutation.
First, let's install `react-query` if you haven't already:
```bash
npm install react-query
```
Now, modify the `Task.js` component:
```jsx
// Task.js
import React from 'react';
import { Draggable } from 'react-beautiful-dnd';
import { useMutation, useQueryClient } from 'react-query';
const updateTaskPriority = async (taskId, newPriority) => {
const response = await fetch(`https://your-api-endpoint/tasks/${taskId}`, {
method: 'PATCH',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify({ priority: newPriority }),
});
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error('Failed to update task priority');
}
return response.json();
};
const Task = ({ task, index }) => {
const queryClient = useQueryClient();
const mutation = useMutation(
(newPriority) => updateTaskPriority(task.id, newPriority),
{
onSuccess: () => {
// Invalidate and refetch the tasks query after a successful mutation
queryClient.invalidateQueries('tasks');
},
}
);
return (
<Draggable draggableId={task.id.toString()} index={index}>
{(provided) => (
<div
{...provided.draggableProps}
{...provided.dragHandleProps}
ref={provided.innerRef}
>
<p>{task.title}</p>
<span>Priority: {task.priority}</span>
<button
onClick={() => mutation.mutate('High')}
disabled={mutation.isLoading}
>
Set Priority to High
</button>
<button
onClick={() => mutation.mutate('Medium')}
disabled={mutation.isLoading}
>
Set Priority to Medium
</button>
<button
onClick={() => mutation.mutate('Low')}
disabled={mutation.isLoading}
>
Set Priority to Low
</button>
</div>
)}
</Draggable>
);
};
export default Task;
```
In this example, we added buttons to set the priority to High, Medium, or Low. The `useMutation` hook manages the state of the mutation, and the `onSuccess` callback invalidates and refetches the 'tasks' query after a successful mutation.
Replace the API endpoint with your actual endpoint.
Now, tasks can be reordered through drag-and-drop, and their priority can be updated in real-time. If you're ready, type 'Continue.'
Fantastic! Now, let's add the ability to create new tasks. We'll create a form component for adding tasks and use the `useMutation` hook to handle the task creation.
If you haven't installed `react-query`, do so:
```bash
npm install react-query
```
Now, let's modify the `App.js` and `TaskList.js` components:
```jsx
// App.js
import React from 'react';
import { QueryClient, QueryClientProvider } from 'react-query';
import { ReactQueryDevtools } from 'react-query/devtools';
import { DragDropContext, Droppable } from 'react-beautiful-dnd';
import TaskList from './TaskList';
import TaskForm from './TaskForm';
const queryClient = new QueryClient();
const App = () => {
return (
<QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
<TaskDashboard />
<ReactQueryDevtools />
</QueryClientProvider>
);
};
const TaskDashboard = () => {
return (
<DragDropContext onDragEnd={handleDragEnd}>
<Droppable droppableId="task-list">
{(provided) => (
<div {...provided.droppableProps} ref={provided.innerRef}>
<h1>Task Management Dashboard</h1>
<TaskList />
{provided.placeholder}
<TaskForm />
</div>
)}
</Droppable>
</DragDropContext>
);
};
// Define handleDragEnd function as before
export default App;
```
Now, let's create the `TaskForm.js` component:
```jsx
// TaskForm.js
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { useMutation, useQueryClient } from 'react-query';
const createTask = async (newTask) => {
const response = await fetch('https://your-api-endpoint/tasks', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify(newTask),
});
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error('Failed to create task');
}
return response.json();
};
const TaskForm = () => {
const [taskTitle, setTaskTitle] = useState('');
const [taskPriority, setTaskPriority] = useState('Medium');
const queryClient = useQueryClient();
const mutation = useMutation(createTask, {
onSuccess: () => {
// Invalidate and refetch the tasks query after a successful mutation
queryClient.invalidateQueries('tasks');
setTaskTitle('');
setTaskPriority('Medium');
},
});
const handleSubmit = (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
if (!taskTitle.trim()) {
return;
}
const newTask = {
title: taskTitle,
priority: taskPriority,
};
mutation.mutate(newTask);
};
return (
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
<label>
Task Title:
<input
type="text"
value={taskTitle}
onChange={(e) => setTaskTitle(e.target.value)}
/>
</label>
<label>
Priority:
<select
value={taskPriority}
onChange={(e) => setTaskPriority(e.target.value)}
>
<option value="High">High</option>
<option value="Medium">Medium</option>
<option value="Low">Low</option>
</select>
</label>
<button type="submit" disabled={mutation.isLoading}>
Add Task
</button>
</form>
);
};
export default TaskForm;
```
This creates a simple form to add new tasks. The `useMutation` hook handles the task creation, and the form resets after a successful submission.
Replace the API endpoint with your actual endpoint.
Now, you should be able to add new tasks to the task list. If you're ready, type 'Continue.'
Great! In the next stage, let's implement the ability to delete tasks. We'll add a delete button to each task and use the `useMutation` hook to handle the deletion.
Ensure you have `react-query` installed:
```bash
npm install react-query
```
Now, let's update the `Task.js` component:
```jsx
// Task.js
import React from 'react';
import { Draggable } from 'react-beautiful-dnd';
import { useMutation, useQueryClient } from 'react-query';
const updateTaskPriority = async (taskId, newPriority) => {
// implementation as before
};
const deleteTask = async (taskId) => {
const response = await fetch(`https://your-api-endpoint/tasks/${taskId}`, {
method: 'DELETE',
});
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error('Failed to delete task');
}
};
const Task = ({ task, index }) => {
const queryClient = useQueryClient();
const updatePriorityMutation = useMutation(
(newPriority) => updateTaskPriority(task.id, newPriority),
{
onSuccess: () => {
queryClient.invalidateQueries('tasks');
},
}
);
const deleteTaskMutation = useMutation(
() => deleteTask(task.id),
{
onSuccess: () => {
queryClient.invalidateQueries('tasks');
},
}
);
return (
<Draggable draggableId={task.id.toString()} index={index}>
{(provided) => (
<div
{...provided.draggableProps}
{...provided.dragHandleProps}
ref={provided.innerRef}
>
<p>{task.title}</p>
<span>Priority: {task.priority}</span>
<button
onClick={() => updatePriorityMutation.mutate('High')}
disabled={updatePriorityMutation.isLoading}
>
Set Priority to High
</button>
<button
onClick={() => updatePriorityMutation.mutate('Medium')}
disabled={updatePriorityMutation.isLoading}
>
Set Priority to Medium
</button>
<button
onClick={() => updatePriorityMutation.mutate('Low')}
disabled={updatePriorityMutation.isLoading}
>
Set Priority to Low
</button>
<button
onClick={() => deleteTaskMutation.mutate()}
disabled={deleteTaskMutation.isLoading}
>
Delete
</button>
</div>
)}
</Draggable>
);
};
export default Task;
```
Now, each task has a delete button. The `useMutation` hook manages the deletion state, and the `onSuccess` callback invalidates and refetches the 'tasks' query after a successful deletion.
Replace the API endpoint with your actual endpoint.
Now, tasks can be deleted from the task list. If you're ready, type 'Continue.'
Excellent! In the final stage, let's add some styling to make our task management dashboard look more polished. We'll use a simple CSS approach, but you can customize it based on your preferences.
First, create a new file for your styles. Let's call it `styles.css`:
```css
/* styles.css */
body {
font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;
}
.container {
max-width: 800px;
margin: auto;
padding: 20px;
}
.task-list {
border: 1px solid #ccc;
border-radius: 5px;
margin-top: 20px;
padding: 10px;
}
.task {
background-color: #fff;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
border-radius: 3px;
padding: 10px;
margin-bottom: 8px;
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
align-items: center;
}
.drag-handle {
cursor: grab;
padding: 8px;
margin-right: 8px;
}
.delete-button {
background-color: #ff6961;
color: #fff;
border: none;
border-radius: 3px;
padding: 8px;
cursor: pointer;
}
.delete-button:hover {
background-color: #d9534f;
}
```
Now, import this stylesheet in your components:
```jsx
// App.js
import React from 'react';
import { QueryClient, QueryClientProvider } from 'react-query';
import { ReactQueryDevtools } from 'react-query/devtools';
import { DragDropContext, Droppable } from 'react-beautiful-dnd';
import TaskList from './TaskList';
import TaskForm from './TaskForm';
import './styles.css'; // Import the stylesheet
const queryClient = new QueryClient();
const App = () => {
return (
<QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
<div className="container">
<TaskDashboard />
<ReactQueryDevtools />
</div>
</QueryClientProvider>
);
};
// ... (rest of the code remains the same)
```
Now, update your `TaskList.js` and `Task.js` components:
```jsx
// TaskList.js
import React from 'react';
import { Droppable } from 'react-beautiful-dnd';
import Task from './Task';
const TaskList = ({ tasks }) => {
return (
<Droppable droppableId="task-list">
{(provided) => (
<div
className="task-list"
{...provided.droppableProps}
ref={provided.innerRef}
>
<h2>Task List</h2>
{tasks.map((task, index) => (
<Task key={task.id} task={task} index={index} />
))}
{provided.placeholder}
</div>
)}
</Droppable>
);
};
export default TaskList;
```
```jsx
// Task.js
import React from 'react';
import { Draggable } from 'react-beautiful-dnd';
import { useMutation, useQueryClient } from 'react-query';
const updateTaskPriority = async (taskId, newPriority) => {
// implementation as before
};
const deleteTask = async (taskId) => {
// implementation as before
};
const Task = ({ task, index }) => {
const queryClient = useQueryClient();
const updatePriorityMutation = useMutation(
(newPriority) => updateTaskPriority(task.id, newPriority),
{
onSuccess: () => {
queryClient.invalidateQueries('tasks');
},
}
);
const deleteTaskMutation = useMutation(
() => deleteTask(task.id),
{
onSuccess: () => {
queryClient.invalidateQueries('tasks');
},
}
);
return (
<Draggable draggableId={task.id.toString()} index={index}>
{(provided) => (
<div
className="task"
{...provided.draggableProps}
{...provided.dragHandleProps}
ref={provided.innerRef}
>
<div className="drag-handle">☰</div>
<div>
<p>{task.title}</p>
<span>Priority: {task.priority}</span>
</div>
<button
onClick={() => updatePriorityMutation.mutate('High')}
disabled={updatePriorityMutation.isLoading}
>
High
</button>
<button
onClick={() => updatePriorityMutation.mutate('Medium')}
disabled={updatePriorityMutation.isLoading}
>
Medium
</button>
<button
onClick={() => updatePriorityMutation.mutate('Low')}
disabled={updatePriorityMutation.isLoading}
>
Low
</button>
<button
className="delete-button"
onClick={() => deleteTaskMutation.mutate()}
disabled={deleteTaskMutation.isLoading}
>
Delete
</button>
</div>
)}
</Draggable>
);
};
export default Task;
```
These styles will make your task management dashboard look more organized and visually appealing. Feel free to adjust the styles to match your design preferences.
If you're ready, you've completed the development of the advanced UI component for the task management dashboard! If you have any further questions or if there's anything else you'd like assistance with, feel free to let me know.
