## Usage Examples

### Using Layouts in Views

#### Super Admin
```blade
<x-superadmin-layout>
    <x-slot name="header">
        Dashboard
    </x-slot>
    
    <x-slot name="breadcrumbs">
        <li><a href="{{ route('superadmin.dashboard') }}">Home</a></li>
        <li>Dashboard</li>
    </x-slot>
    
    <!-- Your content here -->
</x-superadmin-layout>
```

#### Brand Admin
```blade
<x-brand-admin-layout>
    <x-slot name="header">
        Campaigns
    </x-slot>
    
    <!-- Your content here -->
</x-brand-admin-layout>
```

#### Creator
```blade
<x-creator-admin-layout>
    <x-slot name="header">
        Dashboard
    </x-slot>
    
    <!-- Your content here -->
</x-creator-admin-layout>
```

#### Agency Admin
```blade
<x-agency-admin-layout>
    <x-slot name="header">
        Managed Brands
    </x-slot>
    
    <!-- Your content here -->
</x-agency-admin-layout>
```

### Adding Confirmation to Destructive Actions

Add `data-confirm` attributes to links or buttons:

```html
<!-- Delete action -->
<a href="{{ route('brand.campaigns.destroy', $campaign) }}" 
   data-confirm="Are you sure you want to delete this campaign? This action cannot be undone."
   data-confirm-title="Delete Campaign"
   data-confirm-type="danger"
   class="btn btn-danger">
    Delete Campaign
</a>

<!-- Reject action -->
<button type="submit"
        data-confirm="Are you sure you want to reject this proposal?"
        data-confirm-title="Reject Proposal"
        data-confirm-type="warning">
    Reject Proposal
</button>
```

### Audit Logging Integration

All confirmation actions are ready for audit logging. Implement in your controllers:

```php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log;

// After destructive action
Log::channel('audit')->info('Campaign deleted', [
    'user_id' => auth()->id(),
    'campaign_id' => $campaign->id,
    'action' => 'delete',
    'timestamp' => now(),
    'ip_address' => request()->ip()
]);
```

## Color Schemes

| Role | Background Gradient | Active State | Hover State |
|------|-------------------|--------------|-------------|
| Super Admin | Gray-900 → Gray-900 | Red-600 | Gray-700 |
| Brand Admin | Gray-900 → Gray-800 | Blue-600 | Gray-700 |

## Badge Color Coding

| Badge Type | Color | Usage |
|------------|-------|-------|
| Info | Blue-500 | Counts, general information |
| Success | Green-500 | Active items, completed |
| Warning | Yellow-500 | Pending items, needs attention |
| Danger | Red-500 | Errors, failed items, urgent |
| Primary | Purple-500 | Agency-specific counts |
| Payment | Orange-500 | Payment-related items |

---

## Security Implementation

### Role-Based Access Control

Each sidebar is protected by role middleware:

```php
// In routes/web.php
Route::prefix('superadmin')->middleware(['auth', 'role:superadmin'])->group(...);
Route::prefix('brand')->middleware(['auth', 'role:brand_admin'])->group(...);
Route::prefix('creator')->middleware(['auth', 'role:creator'])->group(...);
Route::prefix('agency')->middleware(['auth', 'role:agency'])->group(...);
```

### Confirmation System

Destructive actions require confirmation:

1. User clicks action with `data-confirm` attribute
2. Modal appears with warning message
3. User must explicitly confirm
4. Action executes and logs to audit trail

### Audit Trail

All confirmed actions should be logged:

```php
// Example audit log entry
[
    'user_id' => auth()->id(),
    'action' => 'delete_campaign',
    'resource_type' => 'Campaign',
    'resource_id' => $campaign->id,
    'ip_address' => request()->ip(),
    'user_agent' => request()->userAgent(),
    'timestamp' => now()
]
```

## Troubleshooting

### Sidebar Not Showing

1. **Check user role**:
   ```php
   dd(auth()->user()->getRoleNames());
   ```

2. **Verify middleware**:
   ```bash
   php artisan route:list | grep sidebar
   ```

3. **Check Alpine.js loaded**:
   ```javascript
   console.log(window.Alpine);
   ```

### Badges Not Updating

1. **Check API endpoint**:
   ```bash
   curl -H "Accept: application/json" http://localhost/brand/api/sidebar/badges
   ```

2. **Verify CSRF token**:
   ```javascript
   console.log(document.querySelector('meta[name="csrf-token"]').content);
   ```

3. **Check browser console** for errors

4. **Clear cache**:
   ```bash
   php artisan cache:clear
   ```

### Search Not Working

1. **Verify route exists**:
   ```bash
   php artisan route:list | grep sidebar.search
   ```

2. **Check database indexes**:
   ```sql
   SHOW INDEX FROM campaigns;
   SHOW INDEX FROM proposals;
   ```

3. **Review error logs**:
   ```bash
   tail -f storage/logs/laravel.log
   ```

### Mobile Menu Issues

1. **Check viewport meta tag** in layout:
   ```html
   <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
   ```

2. **Verify z-index hierarchy**:
   - Sidebar: z-50
   - Overlay: z-40
   - Modals: z-50

3. **Test touch events** on actual mobile device

## Customization Guide

### Changing Sidebar Width

Edit the component file:

```javascript
// Change expanded width
:style="{'width': sidebarCollapsed ? '80px' : '320px'}" // Change 320px

// Update layout margin
:style="{ marginLeft: sidebarCollapsed ? '80px' : '320px' }"
```

### Adding New Navigation Item

1. **Add HTML in component**:
```blade
<a href="{{ route('role.new-feature') }}" 
   @click="setActive('new-feature')"
   :class="isActive('new-feature') ? 'bg-blue-600 text-white' : 'text-gray-300 hover:bg-gray-700'"
   class="nav-item flex items-center space-x-3 px-3 py-2.5 rounded-lg transition-all duration-200 group"
   role="menuitem">
    <svg class="w-5 h-5 flex-shrink-0" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" viewBox="0 0 24 24">
        <!-- Icon path -->
    </svg>
    <span x-show="!sidebarCollapsed" class="text-sm font-medium">New Feature</span>
</a>
```

2. **Add to search array**:
```javascript
allNavItems: [
    // ... existing items
    { name: 'New Feature', url: '{{ route("role.new-feature") }}', category: 'Navigation' }
]
```

3. **Add to URL detection**:
```javascript
else if (path.includes('/new-feature')) this.activeItem = 'new-feature';
```

### Adding Badge to Item

```blade
<span x-show="!sidebarCollapsed && badges.newFeatureCount > 0" 
      class="ml-auto bg-blue-500 text-white text-xs px-2 py-0.5 rounded-full"
      x-text="badges.newFeatureCount"></span>
```

Update controller to include the count in badge API response.
