## Overview Architecture
|
|
|
|
The analytics dashboard at `/dashboard/overview` uses **Next.js parallel routes** to load multiple chart sections independently. Each chart slot streams in as its data becomes ready — no waterfall, no blocking.
|
|
|
|
**File structure:**
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
src/app/dashboard/overview/
|
|
├── layout.tsx # Composes all slots into a grid
|
|
├── @area_stats/
|
|
│ ├── page.tsx # Async server component (fetches data)
|
|
│ ├── loading.tsx # Skeleton shown while streaming
|
|
│ └── error.tsx # Error boundary if fetch fails
|
|
├── @bar_stats/
|
|
│ ├── page.tsx
|
|
│ ├── loading.tsx
|
|
│ └── error.tsx
|
|

## Parallel Routes Pattern
|
|
|
|
### Layout (`layout.tsx`)
|
|
|
|
The layout receives each parallel route as a prop and arranges them in a grid:
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
export default function OverviewLayout({
|
|
sales,
|
|
pie_stats,
|
|
bar_stats,
|
|
area_stats
|
|
}: {
|
|
sales: React.ReactNode;
|
|
pie_stats: React.ReactNode;
|
|
bar_stats: React.ReactNode;
|
|
area_stats: React.ReactNode;
|
|
}) {
|
|
return (
|
|
<PageContainer pageTitle='Dashboard' pageDescription='Overview analytics.'>
|
|
{/* Stats cards row */}
|
|
<div className='grid gap-4 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-4'>
|
|
<Card>
|
|
<CardHeader className='flex flex-row items-center justify-between pb-2'>
|
|
<CardTitle className='text-sm font-medium'>Total Revenue</CardTitle>
|
|
<Icons.billing className='h-4 w-4 text-muted-foreground' />
|
|
</CardHeader>
|
|
<CardContent>
|
|
<div className='text-2xl font-bold'>$45,231.89</div>
|
|
<p className='text-xs text-muted-foreground'>+20.1% from last month</p>
|
|
</CardContent>
|
|
</Card>
|
|
{/* ...more stat cards */}
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
{/* Charts grid — each slot loads independently */}
|
|
<div className='grid grid-cols-1 gap-4 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-7'>
|
|
<div className='col-span-4'>{area_stats}</div>
|
|
<div className='col-span-3'>{sales}</div>
|
|
<div className='col-span-4'>{bar_stats}</div>
|
|
<div className='col-span-3'>{pie_stats}</div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
</PageContainer>
|
|
);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Slot Page (`@area_stats/page.tsx`)
|
|
|
|
Each slot is an async server component that fetches data then renders the chart:
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
import { delay } from '@/constants/mock-api';
|
|
import { AreaGraph } from '@/features/overview/components/area-graph';
|
|
|
|
export default async function AreaStatsPage() {
|
|
await delay(2000); // Simulates API fetch
|
|
return <AreaGraph />;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Slot Loading (`@area_stats/loading.tsx`)
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
import { AreaGraphSkeleton } from '@/features/overview/components/area-graph-skeleton';
|
|
|
|
export default function Loading() {
|
|
return <AreaGraphSkeleton />;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Slot Error (`@area_stats/error.tsx`)
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
'use client';
|
|
import { Alert, AlertDescription, AlertTitle } from '@/components/ui/alert';
|
|
import { Icons } from '@/components/icons';
|
|
|
|
export default function AreaStatsError({ error }: { error: Error }) {
|
|
return (
|
|
<Alert variant='destructive'>
|
|
<Icons.alertCircle className='h-4 w-4' />
|
|
<AlertTitle>Error</AlertTitle>
|
|
<AlertDescription>Failed to load area stats: {error.message}</AlertDescription>
|
|
</Alert>
|
|
);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Each slot can fail independently without affecting others.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Chart Components
|
|
|
|
All chart components are `'use client'` and use **Recharts** wrapped in shadcn's `ChartContainer`.
|
|
|
|
### Chart Config
|
|
|
|
Every chart defines a config object mapping data keys to labels and theme colors:
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
import {
|
|
type ChartConfig,
|
|
ChartContainer,
|
|
ChartTooltip,
|
|
ChartTooltipContent
|
|
} from '@/components/ui/chart';
|
|
|
|
const chartConfig = {
|
|
desktop: { label: 'Desktop', color: 'var(--chart-1)' },
|
|
mobile: { label: 'Mobile', color: 'var(--chart-2)' }
|
|
} satisfies ChartConfig;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Theme colors `--chart-1` through `--chart-5` are defined in each theme's CSS file and automatically adapt to light/dark mode.
|
|
|
|
### Area Chart Example
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
'use client';
|
|
import { Area, AreaChart, CartesianGrid, XAxis } from 'recharts';
|
|
import {
|
|
type ChartConfig,
|
|
ChartContainer,
|
|
ChartTooltip,
|
|
ChartTooltipContent
|
|
} from '@/components/ui/chart';
|
|
import { Card, CardContent, CardHeader, CardTitle } from '@/components/ui/card';
|
|
import { Badge } from '@/components/ui/badge';
|
|
import { Icons } from '@/components/icons';
|
|
|
|
const chartData = [
|
|
{ month: 'January', desktop: 186, mobile: 80 },
|
|
{ month: 'February', desktop: 305, mobile: 200 }
|
|
// ...more months
|
|
];
|
|
|
|
const chartConfig = {
|
|
desktop: { label: 'Desktop', color: 'var(--chart-1)' },
|
|
mobile: { label: 'Mobile', color: 'var(--chart-2)' }
|
|
} satisfies ChartConfig;
|
|
|
|
export function AreaGraph() {
|
|
return (
|
|
<Card className='@container/card'>
|
|
<CardHeader>
|
|
<CardTitle>Area Chart - Stacked</CardTitle>
|
|
<Badge variant='outline'>
|
|
<Icons.trendingUp className='mr-1 h-3 w-3' /> +12.5%
|
|
</Badge>
|
|
</CardHeader>
|
|
<CardContent>
|
|
<ChartContainer config={chartConfig} className='aspect-auto h-[250px] w-full'>
|
|
<AreaChart data={chartData}>
|
|
<CartesianGrid vertical={false} />
|
|
<XAxis
|
|
dataKey='month'
|
|
tickLine={false}
|
|
axisLine={false}
|
|
tickFormatter={(value) => value.slice(0, 3)}
|
|
/>
|
|
<ChartTooltip content={<ChartTooltipContent indicator='dot' />} />
|
|
<Area
|
|
dataKey='mobile'
|
|
type='natural'
|
|
fill='var(--color-mobile)'
|
|
stroke='var(--color-mobile)'
|
|
stackId='a'
|
|
/>
|
|
<Area
|
|
dataKey='desktop'
|
|
type='natural'
|
|
fill='var(--color-desktop)'
|
|
stroke='var(--color-desktop)'
|
|
stackId='a'
|
|
/>
|
|
</AreaChart>
|
|
</ChartContainer>
|
|
</CardContent>
|
|
</Card>
|
|
);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Bar Chart Pattern
|
|
|
|
Same structure, using `BarChart` + `Bar`:
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
<ChartContainer config={chartConfig}>
|
|
<BarChart data={chartData}>
|
|
<CartesianGrid vertical={false} />
|
|
<XAxis dataKey='month' tickLine={false} axisLine={false} />
|
|
<ChartTooltip content={<ChartTooltipContent />} />
|
|
<Bar dataKey='desktop' fill='var(--color-desktop)' radius={4} />
|
|
<Bar dataKey='mobile' fill='var(--color-mobile)' radius={4} />
|
|
</BarChart>
|
|
</ChartContainer>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Pie/Donut Chart Pattern
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
<ChartContainer config={chartConfig}>
|
|
<PieChart>
|
|
<ChartTooltip content={<ChartTooltipContent hideLabel />} />
|
|
<Pie data={chartData} dataKey='visitors' nameKey='browser' innerRadius={30}>
|
|
<LabelList dataKey='visitors' className='fill-background' />
|
|
</Pie>
|
|
</PieChart>
|
|
</ChartContainer>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Stats Cards
|
|
|
|
Stats cards are simple server-rendered `Card` components at the top of the layout — no parallel routes needed since they render instantly:
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
<Card>
|
|
<CardHeader className='flex flex-row items-center justify-between space-y-0 pb-2'>
|
|
<CardTitle className='text-sm font-medium'>Total Revenue</CardTitle>
|
|
<Icons.billing className='h-4 w-4 text-muted-foreground' />
|
|
</CardHeader>
|
|
<CardContent>
|
|
<div className='text-2xl font-bold'>$45,231.89</div>
|
|
<p className='text-xs text-muted-foreground'>+20.1% from last month</p>
|
|
</CardContent>
|
|
</Card>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For dynamic stats that need data fetching, wrap in their own Suspense boundary or parallel route slot.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Skeleton Loading
|
|
|
|
Each chart has a matching skeleton component. Pattern:
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
import { Card, CardContent, CardHeader } from '@/components/ui/card';
|
|
import { Skeleton } from '@/components/ui/skeleton';
|
|
|
|
export function AreaGraphSkeleton() {
|
|
return (
|
|
<Card className='@container/card'>
|
|
<CardHeader>
|
|
<Skeleton className='h-5 w-[140px]' />
|
|
<Skeleton className='h-4 w-[80px]' />
|
|
</CardHeader>
|
|
<CardContent>
|
|
<Skeleton className='h-[250px] w-full rounded-md' />
|
|
</CardContent>
|
|
</Card>
|
|
);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Match the skeleton dimensions to the actual chart for smooth visual transitions.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Adding a New Chart Section
|
|
|
|
To add a new chart (e.g., line chart for user growth):
|
|
|
|
### 1. Create the chart component
|
|
|
|
`src/features/overview/components/line-graph.tsx`:
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
'use client';
|
|
import { Line, LineChart, CartesianGrid, XAxis } from 'recharts';
|
|
import {
|
|
type ChartConfig,
|
|
ChartContainer,
|
|
ChartTooltip,
|
|
ChartTooltipContent
|
|
} from '@/components/ui/chart';
|
|
|
|
const chartConfig = {
|
|
users: { label: 'Users', color: 'var(--chart-3)' }
|
|
} satisfies ChartConfig;
|
|
|
|
const chartData = [
|
|
/* monthly user data */
|
|
];
|
|
|
|
export function LineGraph() {
|
|
return (
|
|
<Card>
|
|
<CardHeader>
|
|
<CardTitle>User Growth</CardTitle>
|
|
</CardHeader>
|
|
<CardContent>
|
|
<ChartContainer config={chartConfig} className='aspect-auto h-[250px] w-full'>
|
|
<LineChart data={chartData}>
|
|
<CartesianGrid vertical={false} />
|
|
<XAxis dataKey='month' tickLine={false} axisLine={false} />
|
|
<ChartTooltip content={<ChartTooltipContent />} />
|
|
<Line dataKey='users' type='monotone' stroke='var(--color-users)' strokeWidth={2} />
|
|
</LineChart>
|
|
</ChartContainer>
|
|
</CardContent>
|
|
</Card>
|
|
);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2. Create matching skeleton
|
|
|
|
`src/features/overview/components/line-graph-skeleton.tsx`
|
|
|
|
### 3. Create parallel route slot
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
src/app/dashboard/overview/@line_stats/
|
|
├── page.tsx → async, fetches data, returns <LineGraph />
|
|
├── loading.tsx → returns <LineGraphSkeleton />
|
|
├── error.tsx → error alert
|
|
└── default.tsx → return null (fallback when route doesn't match)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`default.tsx` is required for parallel routes — return `null` or a fallback:
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
export default function Default() {
|
|
return null;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 4. Add slot to layout
|
|
|
|
Update `src/app/dashboard/overview/layout.tsx`:
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
export default function OverviewLayout({
|
|
sales,
|
|
pie_stats,
|
|
bar_stats,
|
|
area_stats,
|
|
line_stats // ← add new slot
|
|
}: {
|
|
/* ...types */
|
|
}) {
|
|
return (
|
|
<div className='grid grid-cols-1 gap-4 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-7'>
|
|
{/* existing charts */}
|
|
<div className='col-span-4'>{line_stats}</div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Available Recharts Components
|
|
|
|
Common chart types to use with `ChartContainer`:
|
|
|
|
- `AreaChart` + `Area` — filled area charts (stacked or standalone)
|
|
- `BarChart` + `Bar` — vertical/horizontal bars
|
|
- `LineChart` + `Line` — line/trend charts
|
|
- `PieChart` + `Pie` — pie/donut charts
|
|
- `RadarChart` + `Radar` — radar/spider charts
|
|
- `RadialBarChart` + `RadialBar` — radial progress bars
|
|
|
|
All support `ChartTooltip`, `ChartLegend`, and theme-aware colors via `var(--chart-N)`.
