Refactor NavMenu to use DevExpress DxTreeView for navigation, replacing the old NavLink-based menu. Update sidebar and navigation row styling to use CSS variables, remove Bootstrap-specific and SVG icon CSS, and add a responsive hamburger menu for small screens. Improve dark mode support and overall maintainability.
Wrapped the Dark Mode toggle button in a span with left margin
for better separation from the theme combo box. Added a new
.btn-gap CSS class to standardize button spacing in the top row.
Introduce a DxComboBox in MainLayout for selecting between multiple themes. Update ThemeState to manage the current theme, provide a list of available themes, and apply the selected theme via a new SetTheme method. Refactor dark mode handling to work with the new theme system, and ensure UI updates on theme or mode changes.
Reorganize and deduplicate using directives in _Imports.razor for clarity and maintainability. Explicitly cast UpdateProcedure to CatalogUpdateProcedure in CatalogsGrid.razor to enforce type safety. Restore necessary DevExpress and DbFirst namespaces.
Refactored DTO class and namespace names from Massdata* to MassData* in DbFirst.Contracts. Updated all relevant application files to use the correct DTO namespaces for Catalogs and MassData. Adjusted _Imports.razor to include new DTO namespaces and removed unused usings. These changes improve code consistency and reduce namespace-related errors.
Refactored code to use C# 12 collection expressions ([]) for initializing empty lists and dictionaries instead of the older constructors. This change modernizes and simplifies collection initialization across models, services, and API clients without altering any logic.
Introduce interfaces for all API clients and update dependency injection to use these interfaces. Refactor services and components to depend on abstractions instead of concrete implementations, improving testability and maintainability.
Replaced direct StateHasChanged() calls with InvokeAsync(StateHasChanged) to ensure asynchronous state updates. This helps prevent issues that can arise from synchronous state changes during component lifecycle events or event callbacks in Blazor.
Added @using DbFirst.BlazorWebApp and reorganized the placement of @using Microsoft.Extensions.Options to improve code organization and maintain consistent dependency order.
Replaced direct IConfiguration usage with a strongly-typed AppSettings class for accessing the API base URL. Registered AppSettings with DI and updated Dashboard.razor to use IOptions<AppSettings>. Updated using statements and DI setup for improved type safety and centralized configuration management.
Move shared state and methods from CatalogsGrid and MassDataGrid into BandGridBase<TItem>. This centralizes edit context handling, validation, popup header logic, row editing/deleting, and layout feedback, reducing duplication and improving maintainability. Individual grid components now only override OnEditFieldChanged for custom validation.
Moved SignalR hub connection setup from OnInitializedAsync to OnAfterRenderAsync, ensuring initialization occurs only after the component's first render. This prevents premature connection attempts and aligns with best practices for component lifecycle management.
Introduce Add, Edit, and Delete buttons with Bootstrap Icons in the toolbars of CatalogsGrid and MassDataGrid. Hide the default command column by overriding ShowCommandColumn. Update BandGridBase to conditionally render the command column. Track focused row index for toolbar actions, enabling row operations via toolbar instead of the grid's built-in command column. Add Bootstrap Icons stylesheet to App.razor.
- Set default width and hide new button for DxGridBandColumn in BandGridBase.cs
- Always show column chooser button in CatalogsGrid and MassDataGrid
- Add "Spalten" toolbar button to open column chooser dialog
- Improves accessibility and consistency of grid column customization
Replaced custom Fluent theme registration (with ApplyToPageElements set to true) with the default Fluent theme registration, removing unnecessary property customization for a cleaner setup.
Previously, RefreshDashboards() was called automatically if the dashboards list was empty during parameter setting. This logic has been removed, so dashboards will no longer refresh automatically in this scenario.
MassDataApiClient.UpsertAsync now returns ApiResult to standardize success and error reporting, including detailed error extraction from API responses. Updated MassDataGrid.razor to handle the new result type and display error messages accordingly. Removed obsolete try-catch logic in favor of the new pattern.
The protected bool bandEditorExpanded, which tracked the expansion
state of the band editor, has been removed from BandGridBase<TItem>
as it is no longer used. This helps clean up unused state from
the component.
Extract band editor UI and logic from CatalogsGrid.razor and MassDataGrid.razor into a new BandEditor.razor component. This centralizes band management features (add/remove bands, edit captions, assign columns, save/reset layout) and reduces code duplication, improving maintainability and reusability. Existing UI and event handling remain functionally unchanged.
Move band and column management to BandGridBase, reducing duplication in MassDataGrid. Column definitions and layout key are now provided via overridden properties. Band editor actions now use feedback methods for user messages. Grid layout application and error display are streamlined. Improves maintainability and enables reuse across grid components.
Refactored CatalogsGrid.razor to inherit from BandGridBase<CatalogReadDto>, moving band layout and grid logic into the base class. Updated UI to use new async methods for saving and resetting the layout with user feedback. Removed redundant local fields and methods, centralizing layout management and improving maintainability and code reuse. Error and info messages are now shown after layout operations.
Introduced an abstract base class BandGridBase<TItem> to centralize banded grid functionality in Blazor apps using DevExpress. This class manages band layouts, column definitions, user-specific layout persistence, grid size modes, and rendering logic. It integrates with BandLayoutService for layout storage and retrieval, and is intended for inheritance by specific grid components.
Changed band editor toggle label to "Layout" in both CatalogsGrid.razor and MassDataGrid.razor. Relocated the page size selector in MassDataGrid.razor to appear after the band editor section for improved layout consistency.
Introduce a toggleable "Band-Layout konfigurieren" section in CatalogsGrid.razor and MassDataGrid.razor, allowing users to expand or collapse the band editor UI. Added bandEditorExpanded state to control visibility. Updated CSS to style the new toggle button and its expanded/collapsed states, improving usability and reducing UI clutter.
Consolidate shared grid and band-editor styles from CatalogsGrid.razor.css and MassDataGrid.razor.css into app.css for improved maintainability and consistency. Only component-specific min-width rules remain in the respective files. Also includes minor formatting cleanups in app.css.
Introduce BandLayoutService and shared models to manage grid band layouts across components. Refactor CatalogsGrid and MassDataGrid to use the new service, removing duplicated layout logic. Update _Imports.razor and register the service in Program.cs for improved maintainability and code reuse.
Separated CSS from Dashboard.razor by moving all dashboard-related styles into a new Dashboard.razor.css file. This improves maintainability and keeps styling concerns separate from markup and logic.
Moved CSS from inline <style> blocks in CatalogsGrid.razor and MassDataGrid.razor to dedicated CatalogsGrid.razor.css and MassDataGrid.razor.css files. This improves maintainability and keeps styling concerns separate from component logic. No changes to the actual styles were made.
Removed redundant using directives from CatalogsGrid.razor and MassDataGrid.razor. Added them to _Imports.razor to ensure global availability across components. Also added @using DbFirst.BlazorWebApp to _Imports.razor for consistency.
Replaced HTML-encoded German special characters with their Windows-1252 (Latin-1) encoded byte equivalents in user-facing strings in CatalogsGrid.razor and MassDataGrid.razor. Renamed and expanded the reset layout method for improved layout reset behavior. Updated button labels and info messages for consistency. These changes address encoding and rendering issues by shifting from HTML entities to direct byte encoding.
Added SizeMode property to BandLayout in both CatalogsGrid.razor and MassDataGrid.razor. The grid's current SizeMode is now saved and restored with the layout, ensuring user preferences for grid sizing persist across sessions. This improves the consistency of the user experience when reloading or switching layouts.
Introduced font size adjustment for grids via dropdown toolbar and CSS variable. Added JavaScript for dynamic font size changes. Replaced German umlauts with HTML entities for proper rendering. Refactored grid code and improved error/info message display. Enhances accessibility and user experience.
Implement dark mode support using a new ThemeState service that manages theme switching and integrates with DevExpress Blazor theming. Update App.razor to apply the theme globally, enhance MainLayout with a toggle button and dynamic CSS classes, and add dark mode styles to CSS files. Register ThemeState as a scoped service in Program.cs.
Enable row focusing in both grid components by introducing the focusedRowKey property and binding it to the grid. After create or update operations, set focusedRowKey to the affected item's key, ensuring the grid automatically focuses the relevant row. Improves user experience by highlighting newly created or updated items.
Deleted styles for custom sort icons, filter row layout, and search input in MassDataGrid. Retained only general layout and popup/editor styles, reverting to default grid visuals.
Removed custom filter row templates and operator logic for date and number columns in CatalogsGrid.razor and MassDataGrid.razor. Grids now use DevExpress's built-in filter menu (FilterMenuButtonDisplayMode.Always), simplifying code and UI. All related filter fields and methods were deleted.
Removed references to fluent-light.bs5.min.css and bootstrap-external.bs5.min.css from App.razor. These DevExpress Blazor theme stylesheets are no longer included in the application. All other stylesheets remain unchanged.
Replaced Fluent theme CSS with Bootstrap 5 Fluent Light theme. Updated DevExpress Blazor service registration to explicitly use BootstrapVersion.v5 for consistent styling. Cleaned up and reordered CSS includes.
Replaced plain loading text with a centered Bootstrap spinner in CatalogsGrid and MassDataGrid. Introduced hasLoaded flag for more accurate loading state handling. Increased min-width of filter input fields for better usability. Added .loading-container CSS for consistent spinner placement.
Introduce custom filter row cell templates for date and numeric columns in CatalogsGrid and MassDataGrid. Users can now select a filter operator (e.g., =, <, >, <=, >=) alongside the filter value for columns like AddedWhen, ChangedWhen, and Amount. Updated filter criteria logic to support these operators using DevExpress expressions. Added new CSS for filter row alignment and appearance. Removed obsolete methods and improved layout logic. This enhances filtering flexibility and user experience in both grids.
Added ShowGroupPanel, ShowGroupedColumns, and AllowGroup to DxGrid in CatalogsGrid.razor and MassDataGrid.razor for enhanced data grouping. Also set PagerVisible="false" in MassDataGrid.razor to hide pager controls.
Replaced icons for "Catalogs", "Dashboards", and "MassData" in NavMenu.razor with new custom Bootstrap-style SVG icons. Added corresponding CSS classes using data URIs to embed the new white icons, ensuring consistent appearance in the navigation menu.
Removed the Counter and Weather pages by deleting their component files. Also updated the navigation menu to remove links to these pages, leaving only Home and Catalogs. This simplifies the app's navigation and available features.
Unify band and grid layout saving into a single "Layout speichern" action and method. Store the full grid layout in BandLayout, and simplify column/band rendering logic. Apply saved layouts after render for consistency. Remove obsolete ordering logic and update messages for clarity. These changes improve robustness and maintainability of layout persistence in CatalogsGrid and MassDataGrid.
Implemented user-customizable, persistent grid and band layouts for CatalogsGrid and MassDataGrid. Added backend API, database entity, and repository for storing layouts per user. Refactored grids to support dynamic band/column rendering, layout management UI, and per-user storage via localStorage and the new API. Registered all necessary services and updated data context. Enables flexible, user-specific grid experiences with saved layouts.
Users can now choose how many records to display per page in the MassData grid (100, 1,000, 10,000, 100,000, or all). The backend and API client are updated to support nullable skip/take parameters, allowing "all" records to be fetched when desired. The pager and page count calculations are updated to reflect the selected page size, and the pager is hidden if only one page exists. Additional UI and CSS changes provide a combo box for page size selection. The API controller now treats take <= 0 as "no limit."
