Phase 2 Plan 03: Dashboard Integration Summary

DashboardPage wired with URL month navigation (useMonthParam), MonthNavigator in PageShell action slot, and a responsive 3-column chart grid (ExpenseDonutChart, IncomeBarChart, SpendBarChart) replacing the old recharts pie + progress bars

Performance

• Duration: 3 min
• Started: 2026-03-16T13:20:40Z
• Completed: 2026-03-16T13:23:04Z
• Tasks: 2
• Files modified: 2

Accomplishments

• Replaced hardcoded current-month logic with useMonthParam for URL search param-based month state
• Replaced old flat recharts PieChart + progress bar layout with 3-column grid of chart components from Plan 02
• Added empty-month prompt with "Create Budget" and "Generate from Template" buttons
• Updated DashboardSkeleton from 2-column to 3-column chart skeleton to prevent layout shift

Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

1. Task 1: Refactor DashboardPage with month navigation and 3-column chart grid - 01674e1 (feat)
2. Task 2: Update DashboardSkeleton for 3-column chart layout - 243cacf (feat)

Plan metadata: (final commit follows)

Files Created/Modified

• src/pages/DashboardPage.tsx - Refactored dashboard with URL month nav, MonthNavigator in action slot, 3-column chart grid, empty-month prompt
• src/components/dashboard/DashboardSkeleton.tsx - Updated skeleton with 3 chart skeleton cards matching real layout

Decisions Made

• All useMemo hooks declared before early returns (if (loading), if (!budget)) to comply with React Rules of Hooks — avoids conditional hook invocation
• QuickAdd button placed below chart grid (SummaryStrip -> charts -> QuickAdd ordering per plan decision)
• Chart grid uses md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3 responsive breakpoints (2-up on tablet, 3-up on desktop)

Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written. (Minor code placement adjustment: moved useMemo hooks before early returns to comply with Rules of Hooks — this was a correctness fix during implementation, not a plan deviation.)

Issues Encountered

• Lint errors flagged: 6 errors all pre-existing in unrelated files (MonthNavigator.tsx, badge.tsx, button.tsx, sidebar.tsx, useBudgets.ts). None caused by this plan's changes. Documented in scope boundary per deviation rules.

User Setup Required

None - no external service configuration required.

Next Phase Readiness

• Phase 2 is now complete: all 3 plans done (month navigation + chart infrastructure, chart components, dashboard integration)
• Phase 3 (collapsible category rows in BudgetDetailPage) can proceed
• Dashboard shows full financial picture: SummaryStrip + 3 charts + QuickAdd, navigable by month via URL
