## 🚀 Quick Start

### 1. Run Setup Script
```bash
./setup-page-layouts.sh
```

### 2. Manual Setup (Alternative)
```bash
# Backend migration
cd backend
npm run migrate:tenant

# Frontend dependencies (already installed)
cd frontend
npm install gridstack
```

### 3. Start Services
```bash
# Terminal 1: Backend
cd backend
npm run start:dev

# Terminal 2: Frontend
cd frontend
npm run dev
```

### 4. Create Your First Layout

1. Login to your application
2. Navigate to **Setup → Objects**
3. Select an object (e.g., Account, Contact)
4. Click the **Page Layouts** tab

## 🔄 Integration Examples

### Using Enhanced Views

```vue
<script setup>
import DetailViewEnhanced from '@/components/views/DetailViewEnhanced.vue'
import EditViewEnhanced from '@/components/views/EditViewEnhanced.vue'
</script>

<template>
  <DetailViewEnhanced
    :config="detailConfig"
    :data="currentRecord"
    :object-id="objectDefinition.id"
    @edit="handleEdit"
  />
</template>
```

### Using Renderer Directly

```vue
<script setup>
import PageLayoutRenderer from '@/components/PageLayoutRenderer.vue'

const { getDefaultPageLayout } = usePageLayouts()
const layout = ref(null)

onMounted(async () => {
  const result = await getDefaultPageLayout(objectId)
  layout.value = result?.layoutConfig
})
</script>

<template>
  <PageLayoutRenderer
    :fields="fields"
    :layout="layout"
    :model-value="formData"
    @update:model-value="formData = $event"
  />
</template>
```

## 🐛 Common Issues & Solutions

### Issue: GridStack CSS not loading
**Solution**: Add to your main layout or nuxt.config.ts:
```javascript
css: ['gridstack/dist/gridstack.min.css']
```

### Issue: Fields not draggable
**Solution**: Ensure the field elements have `draggable="true"` attribute

### Issue: Layout not appearing in views
**Solution**: Pass `objectId` prop to enhanced views

### Issue: Migration fails
**Solution**: Check database connection and ensure migrations directory is correct

## 📈 Performance Considerations

- Layouts are cached on the frontend after first fetch
- JSONB column in PostgreSQL provides efficient storage and querying
- GridStack uses CSS Grid for performant rendering
- Only default layout is auto-loaded (other layouts loaded on-demand)

## 🔐 Security

- All endpoints protected by JWT authentication
- Tenant isolation maintained through service layer
- Layout operations scoped to authenticated user's tenant
- Input validation on all DTOs

## 🎓 Learning Resources

- [GridStack.js Documentation](https://gridstackjs.com)
- [PAGE_LAYOUTS_GUIDE.md](./PAGE_LAYOUTS_GUIDE.md) - Comprehensive usage guide
- Backend API follows NestJS best practices
- Frontend follows Vue 3 Composition API patterns

## 🚦 Status: Production Ready ✅

All core functionality is implemented and tested. The feature is backward compatible and ready for production use.

## 📝 Notes

- Height resizing intentionally disabled for consistent UI
- Default width of 3 columns provides good starting point (2-column effect)
- Sidebar shows only fields not yet on the layout
- Multiple layouts per object supported (admin can switch between them)
- Enhanced views maintain full compatibility with existing views
