39: ## 🛠 Module 0: Workspace Setup & Git Baseline
40:
41: ### Task 0.1: Initialize Next.js Project
42: - **Concept**: Next.js App Router uses file-system based routing and React Server Components.
43: - **Action**: Run the Next.js initialization command in the project root.
44: - **Command**:
45:   ```bash
46:   npx -y create-next-app@latest ./ --typescript --tailwind --eslint --app --src-dir --import-alias "@/*" --use-npm
47:   ```
48: - **Checkpoint**: Ensure `src/app/page.tsx` and `package.json` are created.
49:
50: ### Task 0.2: Install SQLite Dependency
51: - **Concept**:
52:   - `better-sqlite3`: Synchronous C-based SQLite driver for Node.js.
53:   - `@types/better-sqlite3`: TypeScript definitions for auto-completion.
54: - **Action**: Install production and dev dependencies.
55: - **Command**:
56:   ```bash
57:   npm install better-sqlite3
58:   npm install -D @types/better-sqlite3
59:   ```
60: - **Checkpoint**: Check `package.json` to verify `better-sqlite3` is listed under `dependencies`.
61:
62: ### Task 0.3: Git Commit #1 - Initial Project Baseline
63: - **Git Command**:
64:   ```bash
65:   git add .
66:   git commit -m "chore: initialize Next.js app with SQLite setup"
67:   ```

70:
71: ## 🗄 Module 1: Data Layer & Database (SQLite)
72:
73: ### Task 1.1: Database Schema & Migration (`src/lib/db.ts`)
74: - **Concept**:
75:   - SQLite column constraints: `TEXT`, `INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT`.
76:   - `CHECK` constraint: Restricts `status` to `'Todo'`, `'In-Progress'`, `'Complete'`.
77:   - Archiving: `is_archived` stored as `INTEGER DEFAULT 0` (0 = active, 1 = archived).
78: - **Target File**: [src/lib/db.ts](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/src/lib/db.ts)
79: - **Instructions**: Create `src/lib/db.ts` to initialize SQLite connection and create the `tasks` table if it doesn't exist.
80: - **Code to Write**:
81:   ```typescript
82:   import Database from 'better-sqlite3';
83:   import path from 'path';
84:
85:   const dbPath = path.join(process.cwd(), 'todo.db');
86:   const db = new Database(dbPath);
87:
88:   // Initialize Schema
89:   db.exec(`
90:     CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS tasks (
91:       id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
92:       title TEXT NOT NULL,
93:       description TEXT,
94:       due_date TEXT NOT NULL,
95:       topic TEXT NOT NULL,
96:       status TEXT CHECK(status IN ('Todo', 'In-Progress', 'Complete')) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'Todo',
97:       is_archived INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
98:       created_at DATETIME DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
99:     )
100:   `);
101:
102:   export default db;
103:   ```
104:
105: ### Task 1.2: Type Definitions & Overdue Derived Property (`src/lib/types.ts`)
106: - **Concept**:
107:   - **Rubric Rule**: Overdue state **MUST NOT** be stored as a column or status. It must be computed at read-time.
108:   - Overdue Rule: `due_date < current_date` AND `status !== 'Complete'` AND `is_archived === 0`.
109: - **Target File**: [src/lib/types.ts](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/src/lib/types.ts)
110: - **Instructions**: Define TypeScript interfaces and helper functions.
111: - **Code to Write**:
112:   ```typescript
113:   export type TaskStatus = 'Todo' | 'In-Progress' | 'Complete';
114:
115:   export interface Task {
116:     id: number;
117:     title: string;
118:     description: string;
119:     due_date: string; // ISO Format YYYY-MM-DD
120:     topic: string;
121:     status: TaskStatus;
122:     is_archived: number; // 0 or 1
123:     created_at: string;
124:     is_overdue?: boolean; // Derived field
125:   }
126:
127:   export function computeIsOverdue(dueDateStr: string, status: TaskStatus): boolean {
128:     if (status === 'Complete') return false;
129:     const today = new Date().toISOString().split('T')[0];
130:     return dueDateStr < today;
131:   }
132:   ```
133:
134: ### Task 1.3: Data Access Layer Functions (`src/lib/tasks.ts`)
135: - **Concept**: SQL CRUD operations (`SELECT`, `INSERT`, `UPDATE`). Archiving sets `is_archived = 1`.
136: - **Target File**: [src/lib/tasks.ts](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/src/lib/tasks.ts)
137: - **Instructions**: Write SQL prepared statements for fetching, creating, updating, and archiving tasks.
138: - **Code to Write**:
139:   ```typescript
140:   import db from './db';
141:   import { Task, computeIsOverdue, TaskStatus } from './types';
142:
143:   export function getTasks(options?: { sortBy?: 'topic' | 'status' | 'due_date'; includeArchived?: boolean }): Task[] {
144:     const includeArchived = options?.includeArchived ?? false;
145:     const sortBy = options?.sortBy ?? 'due_date';
146:
147:     let sql = `SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE is_archived = ${includeArchived ? 1 : 0}`;
148:
149:     if (sortBy === 'topic') sql += ` ORDER BY topic ASC`;
150:     else if (sortBy === 'status') sql += ` ORDER BY status ASC`;
151:     else sql += ` ORDER BY due_date ASC`;
152:
153:     const rows = db.prepare(sql).all() as Task[];
154:     return rows.map(task => ({
155:       ...task,
156:       is_overdue: computeIsOverdue(task.due_date, task.status)
157:     }));
158:   }
159:
160:   export function createTask(task: { title: string; description: string; due_date: string; topic: string; status?: TaskStatus }): number {
161:     const stmt = db.prepare(`
162:       INSERT INTO tasks (title, description, due_date, topic, status)
163:       VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)
164:     `);
165:     const info = stmt.run(task.title, task.description, task.due_date, task.topic, task.status || 'Todo');
166:     return info.lastInsertRowid as number;
167:   }
168:
169:   export function updateTask(id: number, updates: { title?: string; description?: string; due_date?: string; topic?: string; status?: TaskStatus }): void {
170:     const current = db.prepare(`SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE id = ?`).get(id) as Task;
171:     if (!current) throw new Error('Task not found');
172:
173:     const stmt = db.prepare(`
174:       UPDATE tasks
175:       SET title = ?, description = ?, due_date = ?, topic = ?, status = ?
176:       WHERE id = ?
177:     `);
178:     stmt.run(
179:       updates.title ?? current.title,
180:       updates.description ?? current.description,
181:       updates.due_date ?? current.due_date,
182:       updates.topic ?? current.topic,
183:       updates.status ?? current.status,
184:       id
185:     );
186:   }
187:
188:   export function archiveTask(id: number): void {
189:     const stmt = db.prepare(`UPDATE tasks SET is_archived = 1 WHERE id = ?`);
190:     stmt.run(id);
191:   }
192:   ```
193:
194: ### Task 1.4: Git Commit #2 - Database & Data Access Layer
195: - **Git Command**:
196:   ```bash
197:   git add src/lib/
198:   git commit -m "feat(db): create sqlite schema, data access layer, and dynamic overdue computation"
199:   ```
200:
201: ---
202:
203: ## ⚡ Module 2: Backend & Server Actions
204:
205: ### Task 2.1: Implement Server Actions (`src/app/actions.ts`)
206: - **Concept**: Next.js Server Actions allow client components/forms to mutate database state on the server securely. `revalidatePath('/')` triggers automatic UI refresh.
207: - **Target File**: [src/app/actions.ts](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/src/app/actions.ts)
208: - **Instructions**: Create server actions wrapping the database layer.
209: - **Code to Write**:
210:   ```typescript
211:   'use server';
212:
213:   import { createTask, updateTask, archiveTask } from '@/lib/tasks';
214:   import { TaskStatus } from '@/lib/types';

**Examining Database Schema**

I've been meticulously comparing the database schema defined in `src/lib/db.ts` with the specifications outlined in Task 1.1 of `TASKS.md`. Specifically, I'm focusing on the `tasks` table creation (lines 9-18). It's crucial to confirm this implementation accurately reflects the intended structure and datatypes. I will be looking closely at the inclusion of a "topic" column, and will cross-reference the schema, and look for any discrepancies.

**Pinpointing the Error**

I've zeroed in on the error: a `SqliteError` pointing to a missing 'description' column in the 'tasks' table. My initial investigation suggests the issue lies within `src/lib/db.ts` and its initialization process, specifically the omission of the critical 'description' column. The root cause analysis seems straightforward here.

**Addressing the Data Schema**

I'm now focusing on the SQLite table schema. The crucial point is the `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS` statement. Because this has already run, changes to the `src/lib/db.ts` file won't update the existing `todo.db` file. I'm also noting discrepancies like the missing 'description' column and the inconsistent naming in `is_Archived` and the status constraint. These must be addressed for consistency and functionality. It's imperative that the status strings match across all related files.

> 2. Delete the local `todo.db` file in the root folder (`rm todo.db` or `Remove-Item todo.db`).

 ### Task 1.2: Type Definitions & Overdue Derived Property (`src/lib/types.ts`)
[diff_block_end]

Please note that the above snippet only shows the MODIFIED lines from the last change. It shows up to 3 lines of unchanged lines before and after the modified lines. The actual file contents may have many more lines not shown.


### 🔍 Root Cause Analysis

The error **`SqliteError: table tasks has no column named description`** occurred because:

1. **Missing Column in Schema Definition**: In [src/lib/db.ts](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/src/lib/db.ts#L9-L18), the SQL table creation query omitted the `description` column.
2. **SQLite `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS` Behavior**: When `todo.db` was first generated, SQLite created the `tasks` table with the old schema on disk. Because `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS` only executes if the table does *not* exist, editing `db.ts` alone will **not** automatically update or migrate an existing `todo.db` table.

---

### 🛠 Step-by-Step Fix Guide

Please follow these steps to update your database schema and reset the local database:

#### Step 1: Update Database Schema in [src/lib/db.ts](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/src/lib/db.ts)

Open [src/lib/db.ts](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/src/lib/db.ts) and update the `CREATE TABLE` query to include `description TEXT`, match `is_archived` (lowercase), and align `status` values (`'Todo'`):

```typescript
import Database from 'better-sqlite3';
import path from 'path';

const dbPath = path.join(process.cwd(), 'todo.db');
const db = new Database(dbPath);

// Initialise the database schema
db.exec(
    `
    CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS tasks (
        id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
        title TEXT NOT NULL,
        description TEXT,
        due_date TEXT NOT NULL,
        topic TEXT NOT NULL,
        status TEXT CHECK(status IN ('Todo','In-Progress','Complete')) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'Todo',
        created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
        is_archived BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT 0
    )
    `
);

export default db;
```

---

#### Step 2: Delete the Existing Database File

Delete the old `todo.db` file from your project root so SQLite creates a new database with the correct columns when the server runs.

In your terminal, run:
```powershell
Remove-Item todo.db
```
*(or delete `todo.db` directly in your file explorer).*

---

#### Step 3: Align Status Fallback in [src/lib/actions.ts](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/src/lib/actions.ts)

In [src/lib/actions.ts](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/src/lib/actions.ts#L12), change `'To-Do'` to `'Todo'` so it matches the `TaskStatus` type definition in [types.ts](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/src/lib/types.ts#L1) and the SQLite `CHECK` constraint:

```typescript
// In src/lib/actions.ts
const status = (formData.get('status') as TaskStatus) || 'Todo';
```

---

### 💡 Verification

1. Restart your Next.js dev server (`npm run dev`).
2. Navigate to your app in the browser and try adding a task again.
3. The task should now be inserted cleanly into SQLite without errors!

> 📘 **Updated Learning Guide**:
> A troubleshooting reference has also been updated in [TASKS.md](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/resources/learning_guides/TASKS.md#L101-L109) for future reference.

**Drafting A Pedagogical Response**

Okay, I'm currently focused on structuring a step-by-step explanation. I'm aiming to clearly articulate the nature of the error: "table tasks has no column named description." My goal is to break down both *what* went wrong and *why* SQLite produced this error message. It's becoming clearer how to craft a response that explains these concepts in a digestible way.

### ℹ What the Warning Means

The warning:
```text
Detected additional lockfiles:
  * C:\Users\mahla\critical_projects\SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app\package-lock.json
See https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/turbopack#root-directory
```

#### Why Next.js / Turbopack Displays This:
When Next.js starts up, it searches upward through parent folders (e.g., `C:\Users\mahla\` or `C:\Users\mahla\critical_projects\`) to locate the root of your workspace.

It detected a package lockfile (`package-lock.json`, `yarn.lock`, etc.) in a parent folder **in addition** to the `package-lock.json` inside your project directory (`SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app`).

---

### 🟢 Does it affect your app?

**No, it is completely harmless!**
It will **not** break your application, corrupt dependencies, or affect your lab submission. Next.js will simply use your project's local `package-lock.json`.

---

### 🔧 Options to Address It

1. **Ignore it (Recommended)**:
   You do not need to take any action. Your app will run and function normally.

2. **Remove the extra parent lockfile**:
   If you accidentally ran `npm install` in `C:\Users\mahla\` or `C:\Users\mahla\critical_projects\`, delete the extra `package-lock.json` file in that outer folder.

3. **Explicitly set root directory in [next.config.ts](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/next.config.ts)**:
   If you want to silence the warning, you can tell Next.js to treat your project folder as the strict root:
   ```typescript
   import type { NextConfig } from "next";

   const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
     outputFileTracingRoot: __dirname,
   };

   export default nextConfig;
   ```

**Analyzing the Inquiry**

I'm now zeroing in on the user's question about a warning. I've noted the specific terminal reference, `@<TerminalName: node, ProcessId: 22688>`, and am cross-referencing this with the terminal buffer content. I am expecting some sort of warning in the nextjs documentation link.

### 🧠 Complete Guide: Next.js Server Actions, SQL Security & `revalidatePath`

Here is a breakdown of how **Server Actions**, **SQL Security**, and **`revalidatePath`** work together in Next.js and SQLite.

---

### 🏗 1. The Architectural Flow

```
┌─────────────────────────┐
│   React Component (UI)  │  <form action={createTaskAction}>
└────────────┬────────────┘
             │ (Invokes action across network boundary)
             ▼
┌─────────────────────────┐
│  Server Action          │  src/lib/actions.ts ('use server')
│  - Parses & Validates   │  Checks required fields
└────────────┬────────────┘
             │ (Direct server function call)
             ▼
┌─────────────────────────┐
│  Data Layer             │  src/lib/tasks.ts
│  - SQL Query Prep       │  db.prepare("INSERT ... (?, ?)")  <-- Prevents SQL Injection
└────────────┬────────────┘
             │ (Prepared Statement Execution)
             ▼
┌─────────────────────────┐
│  SQLite Database        │  todo.db
└────────────┬────────────┘
             │
             ▼
┌─────────────────────────┐
│  revalidatePath('/')    │  Purges server cache -> Re-renders page.tsx -> UI updates!
└─────────────────────────┘
```

### ⚡ Part 1: What are Server Actions? (`'use server'`)

At the top of [src/lib/actions.ts](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/src/lib/actions.ts#L1), you see:
```typescript
'use server';
```

#### **What it does:**
- Tells Next.js that **every function exported from this file must ONLY execute on the Node.js server**.
- Even though a button inside a Client Component (in the browser) clicks and triggers `createTaskAction()`, Next.js under the hood sends a lightweight HTTP POST request to the server to execute that function.

#### **Why we use Server Actions:**
1. **Security / Isolation**: Database drivers (`better-sqlite3`) and database files (`todo.db`) stay strictly on the server. The browser can **never** access your database credentials or direct database connection.
2. **No API Boilerplate**: Instead of creating separate REST API endpoints (`/api/tasks`) and writing `fetch('/api/tasks', { method: 'POST', body: ... })`, you call TypeScript functions directly from your forms or components.
3. **Input Validation**: Server Actions act as the gateway guard. In [actions.ts](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/src/lib/actions.ts#L16), we check that required fields are present before even touching the database:
   ```typescript
   if (!title || !description || !topic || !due_date) {
       throw new Error('All fields are required');
   }
   ```

---

### 🛡 Part 2: Preventing SQL Injection

#### **What is SQL Injection?**
If we constructed SQL queries using string concatenation, like this:
```typescript
// ❌ UNSAFE (Vulnerable to SQL Injection! DO NOT DO THIS)
db.exec(`INSERT INTO tasks (title) VALUES ('${title}')`);
```
An attacker could submit a title like: `Clean room'); DROP TABLE tasks; --`.
The resulting SQL executed by SQLite would delete your whole table!

#### **How our Data Layer Prevents SQL Injection:**
In [src/lib/tasks.ts](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/src/lib/tasks.ts#L24-L29), we use **Prepared Statements** with parameter placeholders (`?`):

```typescript
// ✅ SAFE (Prepared Statement with Parameterized Placeholders)
const stmt = db.prepare(`
  INSERT INTO tasks (title, description, due_date, topic, status)
  VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)
`);

stmt.run(task.title, task.description, task.due_date, task.topic, task.status);
```

**Why parameter placeholders (`?`) are 100% secure:**
- SQLite compiles the SQL structure **first** (`INSERT INTO tasks ...`).
- When `stmt.run(...)` passes values into `?`, SQLite treats those inputs **strictly as literal data**, never as executable SQL code commands. Even if someone enters SQL commands in the title or description, SQLite treats it purely as harmless text strings.

---

### 🔄 Part 3: What does `revalidatePath(...)` do?

#### **The Problem (Server-Side Caching):**
Next.js App Router aggressively caches rendered Server Components (like `src/app/page.tsx`) to make page loads instant.

If you add a new task to SQLite in the database, **the database updates**, but Next.js's in-memory render cache still holds the old HTML list of tasks. Without revalidation, the user would not see their newly added task on the screen!

#### **The Solution:**
In [src/lib/actions.ts](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/src/lib/actions.ts#L19), after writing to SQLite, we call:
```typescript
revalidatePath('/');
```

#### **What happens under the hood when `revalidatePath('/')` runs:**
1. Next.js marks its internal cache for route `/` as **stale / invalid**.
2. Next.js immediately re-executes `page.tsx` on the server.
3. `page.tsx` calls `getTasks()`, fetching the newly updated task list from SQLite.
4. Next.js streams the updated UI components down to the browser.
5. The user sees their new task appear on screen instantly **without requiring a full manual browser page refresh!**

### 📝 Summary Checklist

| Concept | File Location | Responsibility |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Server Action** (`'use server'`) | [src/lib/actions.ts](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/src/lib/actions.ts) | Receives form data securely on Node.js server & validates fields. |
| **SQL Security** (`db.prepare(...?...)`) | [src/lib/tasks.ts](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/src/lib/tasks.ts) | Uses parameterized placeholders (`?`) to eliminate SQL injection. |
| **`revalidatePath('/')`** | [src/lib/actions.ts](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/src/lib/actions.ts#L19) | Invalidates Next.js server cache so the UI immediately reflects DB changes. |

**Clarifying User Intent**

I'm currently dissecting the user's prompt to pinpoint their precise needs. It looks like they're seeking a comprehensive explanation of server actions in Next.js, particularly focusing on how validation, including revalidation, plays a crucial role in preventing vulnerabilities like SQL injection. I'm aiming to provide a clear, step-by-step breakdown of the mechanics and actions involved.

**Defining Server Actions**

I've been solidifying my understanding of server actions, specifically what `'use server'` signifies and its advantages in securing backend operations. I'm focusing on how it protects against SQL injection by moving the query execution onto the server and away from client-side manipulation. Data validation is also a focal point in this paradigm.

**Structuring the Explanation**

I'm structuring the explanation into sections for better clarity. The sections will include an overview of the architecture, what server actions are and why they are useful. I'm also preparing to explain SQL injection and the prevention methods using prepared statements. I plan to use markdown to link to relevant files like actions.ts and tasks.ts for context.


<USER_REQUEST>
cool now lets understand the fronend since i did a basic ui which is not intuitive i want to understand it thoroughly what are these tsx components and how do they work apart from html css and js ....explain every line like we do thi and why this can be wrote in this way or this way and this is what happens etc letso do the tsx not the styling i want to understand where we control and where the ui goes etc the imports are what etc

### 🎨 Master Guide: React, TSX & Frontend Architecture in Next.js

In traditional web development, **HTML** defines static markup, **JS** manipulates the DOM manually (`document.getElementById`), and **CSS** styles elements.

In Next.js and React, we use **TSX (TypeScript + JSX)**.
- **TSX** allows us to write HTML-like markup directly inside TypeScript functions.
- Instead of manually modifying HTML elements, **UI is a direct function of State & Data**. When your data changes, React automatically updates only the specific parts of the DOM that changed!

---

### 🏛 The Architecture: Server vs Client Components

Next.js App Router splits UI into two categories:

```
                                  ┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
                                  │      HomePage (app/page.tsx)            │
                                  │    ★ SERVER COMPONENT (Default)         │
                                  │  - Queries SQLite database directly     │
                                  │  - Generates HTML on the server         │
                                  └────────────────────┬────────────────────┘
                                                       │ Passes data as "props"
                     ┌─────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────┐
                     ▼                                 ▼                                 ▼
┌──────────────────────────────────┐  ┌──────────────────────────────────┐  ┌──────────────────────────────────┐
│ TaskForm Component               │  │ TaskFilterToolbar Component      │  │ TaskCard Component               │
│ ⚛ CLIENT COMPONENT              │  │ ⚛ CLIENT COMPONENT              │  │ ⚛ CLIENT COMPONENT              │

### 📄 File 1: `app/page.tsx` — The Master Server Page

Open [app/page.tsx](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/app/page.tsx) to follow along line-by-line.

#### **1. Imports & Page Props (Lines 4-12)**
```typescript
import { getTasks } from '@/src/lib/tasks';
import TaskForm from '@/src/lib/components/TaskForm';
import TaskCard from '@/src/lib/components/TaskCard';
import TaskFilterToolbar from '@/src/lib/components/TaskFilterToolbar';

interface PageProps {
  searchParams: Promise<{ sortBy?: 'due_date' | 'topic' | 'status' }>;
}
```
- **`import ... from '...'`**: Imports other reusable TSX component functions and backend database query functions.
- **`interface PageProps`**: In Next.js 15, URL query parameters (e.g., `?sortBy=topic`) are passed into the page as an async `Promise`. We define this TypeScript interface to strictly type what parameters we expect.

#### **2. Server Component Function & Database Query (Lines 14-20)**
```typescript
export default async function HomePage({ searchParams }: PageProps) {
  const params = await searchParams;
  const sortBy = params.sortBy || 'due_date';
  const tasks = getTasks(sortBy);
```
- **`async function HomePage(...)`**: Notice `page.tsx` does **NOT** have `'use client'`. This makes it a **React Server Component**. It runs exclusively on the Node.js server.
- **`getTasks(sortBy)`**: Because it runs on the server, it calls `better-sqlite3` directly to read from `todo.db` before sending any HTML to the browser!

#### **3. Conditional & List Rendering in TSX (Lines 43-58)**
```typescript
{tasks.length === 0 ? (
  <div className="...">
    <p>No active tasks found. Create one above!</p>
  </div>
) : (
  <div className="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 gap-4">
    {tasks.map(task => (
      <TaskCard key={task.id} task={task} />
    ))}
  </div>
)}
```
- **`{ condition ? (A) : (B) }` (Ternary Operator)**: In TSX, we wrap JavaScript logic inside `{}` curly braces. If `tasks.length === 0`, it renders the empty state message `(A)`. Otherwise, it renders the task grid `(B)`.
- **`tasks.map(...)`**: Converts an array of task data objects into an array of visual `<TaskCard />` elements.
- **`key={task.id}`**: React **requires** a unique `key` prop when rendering lists. It allows React to track which individual item was added, updated, or removed without re-rendering the entire list.

---

### 📝 File 2: `TaskForm.tsx` — Client Component & Form Handling

Open [src/lib/components/TaskForm.tsx](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/src/lib/components/TaskForm.tsx) line-by-line.

#### **1. Client Directive & Hooks Setup (Lines 1-9)**
```typescript
'use client';

import { useRef, useState } from 'react';
import { createTaskAction } from '../actions';

export default function TaskForm() {
  const formRef = useRef<HTMLFormElement>(null);
  const [isSubmitting, setIsSubmitting] = useState(false);
```
- **`'use client'`**: Crucial! Tells Next.js that this component runs in the browser because it needs browser interactivity (button clicks, form submits, and React hooks).
- **`useState(false)`**: Creates a local memory state `isSubmitting` initialized to `false`. When `setIsSubmitting(true)` is called, React automatically re-renders the component to show `"Adding Task..."` on the button.
- **`useRef<HTMLFormElement>(null)`**: Gives us a direct reference to the `<form>` HTML element in memory so we can reset its input fields (`formRef.current.reset()`) after submitting.

#### **2. Event Handler Function (Lines 11-23)**
```typescript
const handleSubmit = async (e: React.FormEvent<HTMLFormElement>) => {
  e.preventDefault(); // Prevents standard browser page reload
  setIsSubmitting(true);
  const formData = new FormData(e.currentTarget);
  try {
    await createTaskAction(formData); // Calls Server Action
    formRef.current?.reset();         // Clears all form input fields
  } catch (err) {
    alert('Failed to create task');
  } finally {
    setIsSubmitting(false);
  }
};
```
- **`e.preventDefault()`**: Standard HTML forms reload the whole web page on submit. `e.preventDefault()` intercepts the browser submission so we can handle it seamlessly in JavaScript via Server Actions.

---

### 🎴 File 3: `TaskCard.tsx` — Props & Modal Triggers

Open [src/lib/components/TaskCard.tsx](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/src/lib/components/TaskCard.tsx) line-by-line.

#### **1. Props Interface & State (Lines 20-29)**
```typescript
interface TaskCardProps {
    task: Task;
}

export default function TaskCard({ task }: TaskCardProps) {
    const [isEditing, setIsEditing] = useState(false);
    const [isArchiving, setIsArchiving] = useState(false);
```
- **`props` (`{ task }`)**: Components accept inputs called **props** (short for properties). Parent `page.tsx` passes a single `task` object down into each `<TaskCard task={task} />`.
- **`isEditing`**: State variable controlling whether the edit modal popup is visible (`true`) or hidden (`false`).

#### **2. Short-Circuit Conditional Rendering (Lines 63-79)**
```typescript
{/* Render description only if present */}
{task.description && (
    <p className={styles.description}>{task.description}</p>
)}

{/* Render OVERDUE badge only if calculated as true */}
{task.is_overdue && (
    <span className={styles.overdueBadge}>OVERDUE</span>
)}
```
- **`{ condition && <Element /> }` (Short-Circuit Rendering)**: In JavaScript, if `condition` is false, `&&` stops evaluating immediately and renders nothing. If `task.is_overdue` is true, it renders `<span className={styles.overdueBadge}>OVERDUE</span>`.

#### **3. Modal Pop-Up Control (Lines 96-98)**
```typescript
{isEditing && (
    <TaskEditModal task={task} onClose={() => setIsEditing(false)} />
)}
```
- When the user clicks the "Edit" button ([Line 85](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/src/lib/components/TaskCard.tsx#L85)), `setIsEditing(true)` runs.
- `isEditing` becomes `true`, causing React to mount and render `<TaskEditModal />`.
- When the modal calls its `onClose` callback, `setIsEditing(false)` runs, hiding the modal!

---

### 🎛 File 4: `TaskFilterToolbar.tsx` — URL State Control

Open [src/lib/components/TaskFilterToolbar.tsx](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/src/lib/components/TaskFilterToolbar.tsx) line-by-line.

```typescript
'use client';

import { useRouter, useSearchParams } from 'next/navigation';
import styles from './TaskFilterToolbar.module.css';

export default function TaskFilterToolbar() {
  const router = useRouter();
  const searchParams = useSearchParams();
  const currentSort = searchParams.get('sortBy') || 'due_date';

  const handleSortChange = (e: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLSelectElement>) => {
    const params = new URLSearchParams(searchParams);
    params.set('sortBy', e.target.value);
    router.push(`/?${params.toString()}`);
  };
```

- **`useSearchParams()`**: Reads current URL parameters (e.g. `?sortBy=topic`).
- **`router.push('/?sortBy=topic')`**: Updates the browser URL to `/?sortBy=topic`.
- **How it updates the UI**: Changing the URL triggers Next.js to re-evaluate `app/page.tsx` on the server with the new `sortBy` parameter, querying SQLite sorted by topic, and sending fresh HTML back to the screen!

---

### 💡 Core Takeaways: Where Code Lives & Controls UI

1. **`app/page.tsx`**: The orchestrator. Fetches SQLite data on the server and passes individual task items down to components as props.
2. **State (`useState`)**: Local memory inside a component. Changing state causes React to automatically redraw that component.
3. **Props (`{ task }`)**: Inputs passed from parent components down to child components.
4. **Events (`onSubmit`, `onClick`)**: React listeners that trigger JavaScript logic (such as Server Actions or state updates).

**Defining Frontend Architecture**

I'm now focusing on structuring a detailed, line-by-line explanation of the frontend TSX architecture. My aim is to make the explanation easy to follow and understand, particularly focusing on how components work and interact. I'm prioritizing clarity for someone with basic UI knowledge.

**Analyzing the Main Structure**

I'm now diving into the `app/page.tsx` file. Currently, I'm parsing the HTML structure. I've begun mapping the `main` element and assigning it the class `.mainContainer`. Next, I will tackle the `<header>` element and its className attributes.

**Defining the Elements**

I've moved on to refining the CSS classes. I'm assigning specific class names based on the HTML elements and their attributes. For instance, the `<h1>` element with the specified class is getting the `.title` class. Similarly, `<p>`, `<section>`, and other elements are also being assigned new class names to make for cleaner CSS rules.

**Refining the CSS Classes**

I'm now focusing on defining styles. I've created classes for subtitles, sections, and empty states. I've implemented responsive design using media queries for dark mode and different screen sizes. I also defined a task grid structure with responsive columns.

### 🎨 Modularizing CSS for `app/page.tsx`

Moving inline utility classes into a dedicated **CSS Module** (`app/page.module.css`) brings several key benefits:
1. **Encapsulation & Scoping**: CSS Module class names are automatically uniquely scoped by Next.js (e.g., `page_mainContainer__a1b2c`), preventing global style collisions.
2. **Readability**: Keeps [app/page.tsx](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/app/page.tsx) clean and focused strictly on JSX structure and data flow rather than long utility strings.
3. **Consistency**: Matches the design system used across your other components (`TaskCard.module.css`, `TaskForm.module.css`, etc.).

### 📁 Step 1: Create `app/page.module.css`

Create a new file at [app/page.module.css](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/app/page.module.css) with the following CSS rules:

```css
/* Container & Page Layout */
.mainContainer {
  max-width: 56rem; /* 896px */
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
  padding: 2.5rem 1rem;
  min-height: 100vh;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  gap: 2rem;
  background-color: #fafafa;
  color: #18181b;
}

@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
  .mainContainer {
    background-color: #09090b;
    color: #f4f4f5;
  }
}

/* Header Section */
.header {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  gap: 0.25rem;
}

.title {
  font-size: 1.875rem;
  line-height: 2.25rem;
  font-weight: 700;
  letter-spacing: -0.025em;
  color: #18181b;
}

@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
  .title {
    color: #f4f4f5;
  }
}

.subtitle {
  font-size: 0.875rem;
  color: #71717a;
}

@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
  .subtitle {
    color: #a1a1aa;
  }
}

/* Task List Section */
.section {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  gap: 1rem;
}

.sectionTitle {
  font-size: 1.125rem;
  font-weight: 600;
  color: #27272a;
}

@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
  .sectionTitle {
    color: #e4e4e7;
  }
}

/* Empty State Card */
.emptyState {
  text-align: center;
  padding: 3rem 1rem;
  border: 1px dashed #d4d4d8;
  border-radius: 0.75rem;
}

@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
  .emptyState {
    border-color: #27272a;
  }
}

.emptyText {
  color: #71717a;
}

@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
  .emptyText {
    color: #a1a1aa;
  }
}

/* Grid Layout for Task Cards */
.taskGrid {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr;
  gap: 1rem;
}

@media (min-width: 768px) {
  .taskGrid {
    grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr);
  }
}
```

### 📄 Step 2: Update [app/page.tsx](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/app/page.tsx)

Update [app/page.tsx](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/app/page.tsx) to import `styles from './page.module.css'` and replace the inline classes with modular CSS class names:

```tsx
import { getTasks } from '@/src/lib/tasks';
import TaskForm from '@/src/lib/components/TaskForm';
import TaskCard from '@/src/lib/components/TaskCard';
import TaskFilterToolbar from '@/src/lib/components/TaskFilterToolbar';
import styles from './page.module.css';

interface PageProps {
  searchParams: Promise<{ sortBy?: 'due_date' | 'topic' | 'status' }>;
}

export default async function HomePage({ searchParams }: PageProps) {
  const params = await searchParams;
  const sortBy = params.sortBy || 'due_date';
  const tasks = getTasks(sortBy);

  return (
    <main className={styles.mainContainer}>
      {/* Header */}
      <header className={styles.header}>
        <h1 className={styles.title}>📝 Todo App</h1>
        <p className={styles.subtitle}>
          Local-first SQLite task manager with dynamic overdue detection.
        </p>
      </header>

      {/* Task Creation Form */}
      <TaskForm />

      {/* Task Sorting Toolbar */}
      <TaskFilterToolbar />

      {/* List of Tasks */}
      <section className={styles.section}>
        <h2 className={styles.sectionTitle}>
          Tasks ({tasks.length})
        </h2>

        {/* Empty state if no tasks exist */}
        {tasks.length === 0 ? (
          <div className={styles.emptyState}>
            <p className={styles.emptyText}>No active tasks found. Create one above!</p>
          </div>
        ) : (
          /* Render grid of task cards */
          <div className={styles.taskGrid}>
            {tasks.map(task => (
              <TaskCard key={task.id} task={task} />
            ))}
          </div>
        )}
      </section>
    </main>
  );
}
```
