[FE] Update Usage Of The Calendar Widget

by ADMIN 41 views

Refactoring Code for Upcoming Appointments

The DateAndTimeContent component has been updated to check for conflicting appointments and pass an error down as a prop. However, the CalendarWidget now takes an upcomingAppointments prop and handles the error itself as part of the recent PR. To ensure consistency and efficiency, we should refactor our code to pass upcomingAppointments to the CalendarWidget.

Action Items

Refactor Code to Pass Upcoming Appointments

  • Task 1: Refactor our code to just pass upcomingAppointments to the CalendarWidget. This will enable the CalendarWidget to handle the error and upcoming appointments seamlessly.

Verify Appointment Handling

  • Task 2: Double-check that the CalendarWidget handles cancelled appointments correctly. This is crucial to ensure that the calendar widget accurately reflects the user's schedule.

Optional Check with the Appointments Team

  • Task 3: Update the method that checks for a conflict to account for appointment length, not just start time. This can be achieved by using a similar approach to the one demonstrated in the provider.js file.

Benefits of Refactoring Code

Refactoring our code to pass upcomingAppointments to the CalendarWidget will have several benefits:

  • Improved Efficiency: By passing the upcomingAppointments prop, we can eliminate the need for the DateAndTimeContent component to handle the error and upcoming appointments. This will streamline the code and make it more efficient.
  • Enhanced Accuracy: The CalendarWidget will be able to handle cancelled appointments correctly, ensuring that the user's schedule is accurately reflected.
  • Simplified Code Maintenance: With the refactored code, maintenance and updates will be easier, as the code will be more modular and easier to understand.

Implementation Steps

To implement the refactored code, follow these steps:

  1. Update the DateAndTimeContent component: Remove the error handling code and pass the upcomingAppointments prop to the CalendarWidget.
  2. Verify appointment handling: Double-check that the CalendarWidget handles cancelled appointments correctly.
  3. Optional check with the appointments team: Update the method that checks for a conflict to account for appointment length, not just start time.
