### Component Structure Pattern

**Server Component (pages):**
```tsx
// app/dashboard/page.tsx
import { requireUser } from '@/lib/auth-check';
import DashboardClient from './dashboard-client';

export default async function DashboardPage() {
  const session = await requireUser('/login');
  return <DashboardClient />;
}
```

**Client Component (content):**
```tsx
// app/dashboard/dashboard-client.tsx
'use client';
import React from 'react';
import { AppSidebar } from '@/components/app-sidebar';
import { SiteHeader } from '@/components/site-header';
import { SidebarInset, SidebarProvider } from '@/components/ui/sidebar';

export default function DashboardClient() {
  return (
    <SidebarProvider>
      <AppSidebar />
      <SidebarInset>
        <SiteHeader />
        <main className="flex flex-col gap-4 p-4">
          {/* Page content */}
        </main>
      </SidebarInset>
    </SidebarProvider>
  );
}
```

---

## 3. Color System & Theming

### CSS Variables (OKLch Color Space)

The design system uses **OKLch color space** for perceptually uniform colors across light and dark modes.

**Light Mode (`:root`):**
```css
--background: oklch(1 0 0);                      /* White */
--foreground: oklch(0.141 0.005 285.823);        /* Near Black */
--card: oklch(1 0 0);                            /* White */
--card-foreground: oklch(0.141 0.005 285.823);   /* Near Black */
--primary: oklch(0.646 0.222 41.116);            /* Warm Yellow/Orange */
--primary-foreground: oklch(0.98 0.016 73.684);  /* Light cream */
--secondary: oklch(0.967 0.001 286.375);         /* Light gray */
--secondary-foreground: oklch(0.21 0.006 285.885);
--muted: oklch(0.967 0.001 286.375);             /* Light gray (buttons, etc) */
--muted-foreground: oklch(0.552 0.016 285.938);  /* Medium gray (text) */
--accent: oklch(0.967 0.001 286.375);            /* Light gray */
--accent-foreground: oklch(0.21 0.006 285.885);
--destructive: oklch(0.577 0.245 27.325);        /* Red */
--border: oklch(0.92 0.004 286.32);              /* Light gray */
--input: oklch(0.92 0.004 286.32);               /* Light gray */
--ring: oklch(0.75 0.183 55.934);                /* Orange/Gold for focus */
```

**Dark Mode (`.dark`):**
```css
.dark {
  --background: oklch(0.141 0.005 285.823);      /* Near Black */
  --foreground: oklch(0.985 0 0);                /* White */
  --card: oklch(0.21 0.006 285.885);             /* Dark gray */
  --card-foreground: oklch(0.985 0 0);           /* White */
  --primary: oklch(0.705 0.213 47.604);          /* Lighter Orange */
  --secondary: oklch(0.274 0.006 286.033);       /* Dark gray */
  --muted: oklch(0.274 0.006 286.033);           /* Dark gray */
  --muted-foreground: oklch(0.705 0.015 286.067);
  --border: oklch(1 0 0 / 10%);                  /* White with 10% opacity */
  --input: oklch(1 0 0 / 15%);                   /* White with 15% opacity */
  --ring: oklch(0.408 0.123 38.172);             /* Red-orange for focus */
}
```

### Chart Colors
```css
--chart-1: oklch(0.837 0.128 66.29);   /* Warm yellow */
--chart-2: oklch(0.705 0.213 47.604);  /* Orange */
--chart-3: oklch(0.646 0.222 41.116);  /* Dark orange */
--chart-4: oklch(0.553 0.195 38.402);  /* Red-orange */
--chart-5: oklch(0.47 0.157 37.304);   /* Deep red-orange */
```

### Sidebar Colors
```css
--sidebar: oklch(0.985 0 0);
--sidebar-foreground: oklch(0.141 0.005 285.823);
--sidebar-primary: oklch(0.646 0.222 41.116);
--sidebar-primary-foreground: oklch(0.98 0.016 73.684);
--sidebar-accent: oklch(0.967 0.001 286.375);
--sidebar-accent-foreground: oklch(0.21 0.006 285.885);
--sidebar-border: oklch(0.92 0.004 286.32);
--sidebar-ring: oklch(0.75 0.183 55.934);
```

### Color Usage

| Color | Usage |
|-------|-------|
| **Primary** | Main CTA buttons, active links, selected items |
| **Secondary** | Secondary buttons, badges |
| **Muted** | Disabled states, placeholder text, subtle backgrounds |
| **Accent** | Hover states, subtle highlights |
| **Destructive** | Delete buttons, error states |
| **Ring** | Focus indicators, form input focus |

## 4. Layout System

### Main Layout Structure

The application uses a **sidebar + content** layout pattern:

```
┌─────────────────────────────┐
│     SidebarProvider         │
├──────────┬──────────────────┤
│          │                  │
│AppSidebar│  SidebarInset    │
│          ├──────────────────┤
│          │   SiteHeader     │
│  Logo    │  (breadcrumbs)   │
│  Nav     ├──────────────────┤
│  Items   │                  │
│          │   Main Content   │
│ Footer   │                  │
│ (User)   │                  │
│          │                  │
└──────────┴──────────────────┘
```

### Layout Implementation

```tsx
// Standard page layout
export default function DashboardClient() {
  return (
    <SidebarProvider>
      <AppSidebar />
      <SidebarInset>
        <SiteHeader />
        <main className="flex flex-col gap-4 p-4 md:gap-6 md:p-6">
          {/* Page content */}
        </main>
      </SidebarInset>
    </SidebarProvider>
  );
}
```

### Content Container Sizing

```tsx
// Wide content area with centered max-width
<div className="flex flex-col gap-6 py-4 md:gap-6 md:py-6 px-4 lg:px-16">
  {/* Content */}
</div>

// Grid layout patterns
<div className="grid grid-cols-1 lg:grid-cols-3 gap-6">
  {/* Columns adjust: 1 on mobile, 3 on desktop */}
</div>

<div className="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3 gap-4">
  {/* Responsive grid: 1 → 2 → 3 columns */}

- `--font-sans: var(--font-geist-sans)` - Primary (body text, UI)
- `--font-mono: var(--font-geist-mono)` - Monospace (code, technical text)

Imported in `layout.tsx`:
```tsx
import { Geist, Geist_Mono } from "next/font/google";
```

### Typography Scale

| Element | Class | Size | Weight | Usage |
|---------|-------|------|--------|-------|
| H1 | `.text-3xl` | 30px | bold (700) | Page titles |
| H2 | `.text-2xl` | 24px | bold (700) | Section titles |
| H3 | `.text-xl` | 20px | semibold (600) | Subsection titles |
| H4 | `.text-lg` | 18px | semibold (600) | Card titles |
| Body | `.text-base` | 16px | normal (400) | Body text |
| Small | `.text-sm` | 14px | normal (400) | Labels, captions, secondary text |
| Extra Small | `.text-xs` | 12px | normal (400) | Tiny labels |

### Spacing Scale

Tailwind default spacing (4px base):

| Class | Size |
|-------|------|
| `gap-1` | 4px |
| `gap-2` | 8px |
| `gap-3` | 12px |
| `gap-4` | 16px |
| `gap-6` | 24px |
| `gap-8` | 32px |
| `p-4` | 16px padding |
| `p-6` | 24px padding |
| `py-4` | 16px vertical padding |
| `px-4` | 16px horizontal padding |

### Text Opacity/Color Hierarchy

```tsx
// Primary text
<p className="text-foreground">Main content</p>

// Secondary text
<p className="text-muted-foreground">Secondary info</p>

// Subtle text
<span className="text-xs text-muted-foreground">Caption</span>
```

          </Field>
        </FieldGroup>
      </form>
    </CardContent>
  </Card>
  <FieldDescription className="text-center">
    By continuing, you agree to our <a href="#">Terms of Service</a> and

<DataTable 
  columns={columns}
  data={data}
  onSave={handleSave}
  onDelete={handleDelete}
/>
```

**Modal Form Pattern:**

## 10. Responsive Design

### Tailwind Breakpoints

```
sm: 640px
md: 768px
lg: 1024px
xl: 1280px
2xl: 1536px
```

### Mobile-First Approach

All responsive classes use mobile-first convention:

```tsx
// Mobile: 1 column, Tablet: 2 columns, Desktop: 3 columns
<div className="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3 gap-4">
  {/* Content */}
</div>

// Mobile: padding-4, Desktop: padding-6
<main className="p-4 md:p-6">
  {/* Content */}
</main>

// Mobile: hidden, Desktop: visible
<aside className="hidden md:block">
  {/* Content only on desktop */}
</aside>
```

### Mobile-Specific Components

- **Drawer** - Off-canvas menus on mobile (instead of Dialog)
- **Sidebar Collapsible** - Sidebar collapses to mobile menu on small screens
- **useMobile Hook** - `hooks/use-mobile.ts` for React-based breakpoint logic

```tsx
const isMobile = useIsMobile();

return isMobile ? <MobileLayout /> : <DesktopLayout />;
```

### Container Queries

Used for responsive component sizing:

```tsx
<div className="@container">
  <h1 className="@[250px]:text-3xl text-2xl">
    Responsive heading
  </h1>
</div>
```

## 11. Dark Mode Implementation

### Theme Provider Setup

Located in `app/providers.tsx`:

```tsx
<ThemeProvider
  attribute="class"        // Toggles 'class' on <html>
  defaultTheme="dark"      // Dark by default
  enableSystem={false}     // Don't auto-detect system preference
>
  {children}
</ThemeProvider>
```

### Dark Mode Styling

CSS variables automatically switch in `.dark` class:

```tsx
// Light mode (automatic)
:root {
  --background: oklch(1 0 0);      /* White */
  --foreground: oklch(0.141 0.005 285.823); /* Dark gray */
}

// Dark mode (when .dark is on <html>)
.dark {
  --background: oklch(0.141 0.005 285.823); /* Dark gray */
  --foreground: oklch(0.985 0 0);  /* White */
}
```

### Toggle Theme Button Pattern

```tsx
// In component
const { theme, setTheme } = useTheme();

<Button 
  onClick={() => setTheme(theme === 'dark' ? 'light' : 'dark')}
>
  {theme === 'dark' ? <SunIcon /> : <MoonIcon />}
</Button>
```

## 12. Reusable Patterns

### Protected Page Pattern

**Server Component (checks auth):**
```tsx
// app/dashboard/page.tsx
import { requireUser } from '@/lib/auth-check';
import DashboardClient from './dashboard-client';

export default async function DashboardPage() {
  const session = await requireUser('/login');
  return <DashboardClient />;
}
```

**Client Component (renders content):**
```tsx
// app/dashboard/dashboard-client.tsx
'use client';
import React from 'react';
import { AppSidebar } from '@/components/app-sidebar';
import { SiteHeader } from '@/components/site-header';

export default function DashboardClient() {
  return (
    <SidebarProvider>
      <AppSidebar />
      <SidebarInset>
        <SiteHeader />
        <main /* content */>
      </SidebarInset>
    </SidebarProvider>
  );
}
```

### Role-Based Navigation

Located in `components/app-sidebar.tsx`:

```tsx
const { data: session } = useSession();
const role = session?.user?.role ?? 'user';

const navMain = React.useMemo(() => {
  const base = [...navMainBase];
  
  if (role === 'admin' || role === 'superadmin') {
    base.unshift({
      title: 'Admin',
      url: '/admin',
      icon: IconShieldCheck,
      items: [/*submenu items*/]
    });
  }
  
  return base;
}, [role]);
```

### Session Initialization

Located in `app/layout.tsx`:

```tsx
export default async function RootLayout({ children }) {
  // Get server session once, pass to client providers
  const session = await getServerSession(authOptions);

  return (
    <html>
      <body>
        <Providers session={session}>
          {children}
        </Providers>
        <Toaster />
      </body>
    </html>
  );
}
```

### Data Fetching Pattern

Using `useFetch`/SWR for client-side data:

```tsx
// hooks/usePlaylists.ts
export function usePlaylists() {
  const [subjects, setSubjects] = React.useState([]);
  const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = React.useState(true);

  React.useEffect(() => {
    fetchPlaylists().then(data => {
      setSubjects(data);
      setIsLoading(false);
    });
  }, []);

  return { subjects, isLoading };
}

// Usage in component
export default function DashboardClient() {
  const { subjects, isLoading } = usePlaylists();
  
  if (isLoading) return <LoadingState />;
  
  return <>{/* Content */}</>;
}
```

### Carousel Pattern

```tsx
// Embla-based carousel
<Carousel className="w-full">
  <CarouselContent className="gap-4">
    {videos.map(video => (
      <CarouselItem key={video.id} className="basis-1/2 md:basis-1/3 lg:basis-1/4">
        <VideoCard video={video} />
      </CarouselItem>
    ))}
  </CarouselContent>
  <CarouselPrevious />
  <CarouselNext />
</Carousel>
```

### Badge & Status Pattern

```tsx
// Icon + Badge combination
<div className="flex items-center gap-2">
  <Badge variant="outline">
    <IconTrendingUp className="size-4" />
    +12.5%
  </Badge>
</div>

// Status badge
<Badge variant={status === 'active' ? 'default' : 'secondary'}>
  {status}
</Badge>
```

## 13. Asset Guidelines

### Logo & Branding

- **Icon**: `/public/icon.svg` - Small 5x5 size in sidebar header
- **Vault Image**: `/public/vault.png` - 1:1 aspect ratio for login page
- **High-Res Alternative**: `/public/vault.exr` - For promotional use

### Image Optimization

```tsx
// Use Next.js Image for optimization
import Image from 'next/image';

<Image 
  src="/path/to/image.png" 
  alt="Description" 
  width={400} 
  height={300}
  quality={60}
/>

// Regular images
<img src="/icon.svg" alt="Icon" className="size-5" />
```

### Approved Icon Sets

1. **Tabler Icons** (`@tabler/icons-react`) - Primary
   - Large collection (4000+)
   - Consistent stroke weight
   - Import: `import { IconHome, IconUsers } from '@tabler/icons-react';`

2. **Lucide React** (`lucide-react`) - Secondary
   - Modern, clean icons
   - Import: `import { Home, Users } from 'lucide-react';`

3. **SVG Files** - Custom branding
   - Small icons in public/
   - Optimized for performance

### Sizing Conventions

```tsx
// Icon sizes
<Icon className="size-3" />  /* 12px */
<Icon className="size-4" />  /* 16px */
<Icon className="size-5" />  /* 20px */
<Icon className="w-6 h-6" /> /* 24px */
<Icon className="w-8 h-8" /> /* 32px */

// Image sizes
<Image className="w-full" />     /* Full width */
<Image className="max-w-sm" />   /* Max 448px */
<Image className="max-w-md" />   /* Max 512px */
```

## Quick Reference - Common Patterns

### Button Variants
```tsx
<Button>Default</Button>
<Button variant="secondary">Secondary</Button>
<Button variant="outline">Outline</Button>
<Button variant="ghost">Ghost</Button>
<Button variant="destructive">Delete</Button>
<Button disabled>Disabled</Button>
<Button size="sm">Small</Button>
<Button size="lg">Large</Button>
```

### Card Layout
```tsx
<Card>
  <CardHeader>
    <CardTitle>Title</CardTitle>
    <CardDescription>Subtitle</CardDescription>
  </CardHeader>
  <CardContent>
    {/* Content */}
  </CardContent>
  <CardFooter>
    {/* Footer */}
  </CardFooter>
</Card>
```

### Container Classes
```tsx
// Full width
className="w-full"

// Max width containers
className="w-full max-w-sm"      /* 448px */
className="w-full max-w-md"      /* 512px */
className="w-full max-w-lg"      /* 576px */
className="w-full max-w-2xl"     /* 672px */

// Flex containers
className="flex flex-col gap-4"
className="flex items-center justify-between"

// Grid containers
className="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3 gap-4"
```

### Responsive Padding
```tsx
className="p-4 md:p-6 lg:p-8"          /* All sides */
className="px-4 py-6"                  /* Horizontal & vertical */
className="p-4 md:py-6 md:px-8"        /* Different per breakpoint */
```

### Text & Styling
```tsx
className="text-foreground"            /* Main text */
className="text-muted-foreground"      /* Secondary text */
className="text-sm text-muted-foreground" /* Label text */
className="font-semibold"              /* Bold text */
className="line-clamp-1"               /* Truncate to 1 line */
className="text-center"                /* Centered text */
```
