aesmail/kaffy

Kaffy is an Elixir/Phoenix-based admin panel generator that provides a customizable user interface for managing database resources. It features a dynamic dashboard with various widget types, in-memory caching, and scheduled background tasks. The system supports full CRUD operations with pagination, filtering, and form validation, all wrapped in a modern, responsive UI built on the sb-admin framework.

Added new JavaScript modules to the static assets: chart.js provides ChartJS configurations for line, doughnut, and area charts; dashboard.js handles editor initialization, filter submission, search, and per-column ordering; file-upload.js manages file input styling; hoverable-collapse.js manages sidebar hover states; misc.js initializes flatpickr date/time pickers and fullscreen mode; off-canvas.js handles sidebar toggling; phoenix\_html.js enables POST/PUT/DELETE via link clicks; select-all-checkbox.js implements bulk selection logic.

A new in-memory cache implementation has been added to Kaffy, consisting of a GenServer client and an ETS-based table for storing and retrieving cached values with expiration support. This introduces a new caching mechanism that stores data in memory using Erlang's ETS tables, allowing for faster access to cached data before falling back to database queries.

Introduces new SCSS files to define the visual styling for the dashboard, sidebar, navbar, footer, and various UI components like badges, buttons, cards, and forms. This includes layout wrappers, typography, and utility classes, establishing the visual foundation for the application's interface.

The update introduces a new PageController to support custom pages, allowing users to define and render arbitrary content via slugs. The existing HomeController and ResourceController have been refactored to use a new Phoenix controller format (formats: \[html: "View"\]), and the ResourceController now passes the connection (conn) to utility functions, improving how resources are fetched and rendered. Additionally, the dashboard view is now rendered with a specific layout and context, and the resource index/show actions now include pagination details and action availability flags (can\_edit, can\_delete) to control UI elements.

Adds support for scheduled background tasks via new Kaffy.Scheduler modules (Task, Supervisor, and Tasks) and a corresponding /tasks route. Introduces Kaffy.Pagination for generating page number lists and Kaffy.ResourceCallbacks to handle create, update, and delete lifecycle hooks (before/after insert, update, delete, and save). Adds Kaffy.Inflector for pluralizing resource names and Kaffy.ResourceError for rendering form validation errors. The application now starts a Kaffy.Supervisor to manage these new processes.

The home page now renders a dynamic grid of widgets including text, chart, progress, and tidbit components, replacing the previous static welcome message. Each widget type has a dedicated template (\_text, \_chart, \_progress, \_tidbit) that allows for flexible content and styling, enabling users to customize their dashboard with various data visualizations and informational cards.

The resource index page has been redesigned with a card-based layout, a new header with record counts, and a refined pagination bar. A new dashboard template has been added to display widgets (text, chart, progress, and tidbit types) for each context. The resource picker template now includes a search field and pagination controls. Additionally, the show and new templates have been updated to use the new card-based design, and the list table now supports per-column ordering and field filters.

The Kaffy admin interface has been significantly redesigned with new layout templates (app, bare, root, and backup) that integrate the sb-admin 5.1.1 framework, FontAwesome icons, and custom logo support. The main app template now includes a fixed-top navbar with full and mini logo support, a sticky sidebar for navigation, and a main content area that renders flash messages and inner content. This change replaces the previous Bootstrap-based layout with a more modern, feature-rich UI that supports custom CSS/JS extensions and improves the overall visual consistency of the admin panel.

The configuration file has been updated to use the modern \import Config\ syntax instead of the deprecated \use Mix.Config\. This change aligns the project with current Elixir/Phoenix standards, ensuring compatibility with newer versions of the framework and removing reliance on legacy configuration patterns.

The view modules in lib/kaffy\_web/views have been updated to remove the deprecated Phoenix.HTML dependency, replacing it with PhoenixHTMLHelpers. Additionally, the LayoutView was modified to conditionally handle flash messages using Phoenix.Flash for Phoenix 1.7+, ensuring compatibility with newer Phoenix versions while maintaining support for older releases.
