# Prolex Diary Module Analysis & Recommendations

## 🗄️ Current Database Tables
**Primary Table: `diaries`**
```
diary_id (bigIncrements PK)
date_time (datetime)
task_title (string 191)
client_case (string 191 nullable)
task_type (enum: 'meeting','court-filing','draft-review','call','follow-up','internal-task','other')
priority (enum: 'low','medium','high') 
status (enum? inferred from code: pending,in-progress,completed,deferred)
location (enum? inferred: office,courtroom,online-meeting,phone-call,other)
duration (string? hours+minutes)
notes (text nullable)
created_by (unsignedBigInteger nullable → users.id)
updated_by (unsignedBigInteger nullable → users.id)
timestamps
```

**Assessment:** ✅ Sufficient for core CRUD/filtering/calendar.  
**Issues:**
- No explicit `status` column (controllers use it)
- `duration` string vs separate hours/minutes columns
- Missing indexes on date_time, priority, status, created_by
- Soft deletes missing for recoverable entries

## 📋 Proposed Table Improvements
```sql
ALTER TABLE diaries ADD COLUMN status ENUM('pending','in-progress','completed','cancelled','deferred') DEFAULT 'pending';
ALTER TABLE diaries ADD COLUMN duration_minutes INT UNSIGNED NULL; -- Instead of string
CREATE INDEX idx_diaries_date_time ON diaries(date_time);
CREATE INDEX idx_diaries_priority_status ON diaries(priority, status);
CREATE INDEX idx_diaries_user ON diaries(created_by);
ALTER TABLE diaries SOFT DELETES;
```

**New Tables (Enhancements):**
```
diary_categories (
  id PK, name, color, sort_order
)
diary_tags (
  id PK, name, color
)
diary_entry_tags (diary_id FK, tag_id FK) -- Many-to-many
diary_attachments (
  id PK, diary_id FK, file_name, file_path, file_size, uploaded_at
)
diary_reminders (
  id PK, diary_id FK, remind_at DATETIME, reminded BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE
)
```

## 🎯 Current Features (Complete)
| Feature | Status | Routes | Views | Notes |
|---------|--------|--------|-------|-------|
| CRUD (Create/Read/Update/Delete) | ✅ Full | diary.add/store, diary.show/edit/update/delete | add-diary, edit-diary, diary-show | Working |
| List/Filter | ✅ Advanced | diary.list, diary.status/{}, diary.priority/{}, diary.type/{} | diary-list | Pagination, search |
| Dashboard Stats | ✅ | diary.dashboard | diary-dashboard | Counts by status/priority |
| Calendar View | ✅ Basic | diary.calendar | diary-calendar | Monthly, clickable |
| Bulk Actions | ✅ | diary.bulkDelete | - | JS confirmed |
| Quick Add (from date) | ✅ | diary.create-from-date | add-diary w/ prefill | URL param ?date= |

## 🚀 Proposed Features & Tables
| Feature | Required Tables | Priority |
|---------|-----------------|----------|
| Diary Categories | `diary_categories` | High |
| Tagging System | `diary_tags`, `diary_entry_tags` | High |
| File Attachments | `diary_attachments` | Medium |
| Recurring Tasks | ADD `recurrence_rule` to `diaries` | Medium |
| Email Reminders | `diary_reminders` + Jobs | High |
| Client/Case Linking | `diaries` → `matters`/`clients` FK | High |
| Time Tracking | Link to `tariff_time_logs` | Medium |
| iCal/Google Calendar Export | None (use model scopes) | Low |
| Mobile Push Notifications | External service | Low |

## 🔧 Migration Sufficiency Check
**Current:** 1 table (`diaries`) - **Sufficient for MVP** ✅  
**Missing:** 
- Status column explicit definition
- Duration as computed field or separate columns
- Relations: belongsTo User (created_by), hasMany DiaryReminder
- Indexes for performance

**Recommendation:** 
1. Add missing columns/indexes via new migration
2. Implement soft deletes
3. Add proposed tables for v2 features

## 📊 Controllers & Routes (20+)
- DiaryController.php: Full CRUD + filters (today/upcoming/overdue/by-status/etc.)
- ModuleController.php: Diary hub, list, calendar logic
- Routes: modules.processing.diary.* → Comprehensive

**Next Steps:**
```
1. php artisan make:migration add_status_to_diaries_table
2. Implement DiaryCategory, DiaryTag models/migrations
3. Add relationships to Diary model
4. Update controllers/views for new features
```
