# GarminSync UI Redesign Implementation Plan
## Overview
Transform the existing GarminSync web interface from the current bootstrap-based UI to a modern, clean design matching the provided mockups. The target design shows two main pages: Home (dashboard with statistics and sync controls) and Activities (data table view).
## Current State Analysis
### Existing Structure
- **Backend**: FastAPI with SQLAlchemy, scheduled daemon
- **Frontend**: Bootstrap 5 + jQuery, basic dashboard
- **Database**: SQLite with Activity, DaemonConfig, SyncLog models
- **Templates**: Jinja2 templates in `garminsync/web/templates/`
- **Static Assets**: Basic CSS/JS in `garminsync/web/static/`
### Current Pages
- Dashboard: Basic stats, daemon controls, logs
- Configuration: Daemon settings, cron scheduling
- Logs: Paginated sync logs with filters
## Target Design Requirements
### Home Page Layout
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Navigation: [Home] [Activities] │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Left Sidebar (25%) │ Right Content Area (75%) │
│ ┌─────────────────┐ │ ┌─────────────────────────────┐ │
│ │ Sync Now │ │ │ │ │
│ │ (Blue Button) │ │ │ Log Data Display │ │
│ └─────────────────┘ │ │ │ │
│ ┌─────────────────┐ │ │ │ │
│ │ Statistics │ │ │ │ │
│ │ Total: 852 │ │ │ │ │
│ │ Downloaded: 838 │ │ │ │ │
│ │ Missing: 14 │ │ │ │ │
│ └─────────────────┘ │ └─────────────────────────────┘ │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
### Activities Page Layout
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Navigation: [Home] [Activities] │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │
│ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │
│ │ Date │Activity Type│Duration│Distance│Max HR│Power │ │
│ │────────────────────────────────────────────────────│ │
│ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │
│ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
## Implementation Plan
### Phase 1: Backend API Enhancements
#### 1.1 New API Endpoints
**File: `garminsync/web/routes.py`**
Add missing endpoints:
```python
@router.get("/activities")
async def get_activities(
page: int = 1,
per_page: int = 50,
activity_type: str = None,
date_from: str = None,
date_to: str = None
):
"""Get paginated activities with filtering"""
@router.get("/activities/{activity_id}")
async def get_activity_details(activity_id: int):
"""Get detailed activity information"""
@router.get("/dashboard/stats")
async def get_dashboard_stats():
"""Get comprehensive dashboard statistics"""
```
#### 1.2 Database Model Enhancements
**File: `garminsync/database.py`**
Enhance Activity model:
```python
class Activity(Base):
__tablename__ = 'activities'
activity_id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
start_time = Column(String, nullable=False)
activity_type = Column(String, nullable=True) # NEW
duration = Column(Integer, nullable=True) # NEW (seconds)
distance = Column(Float, nullable=True) # NEW (meters)
max_heart_rate = Column(Integer, nullable=True) # NEW
avg_power = Column(Float, nullable=True) # NEW
calories = Column(Integer, nullable=True) # NEW
filename = Column(String, unique=True, nullable=True)
downloaded = Column(Boolean, default=False, nullable=False)
created_at = Column(String, nullable=False)
last_sync = Column(String, nullable=True)
```
Add migration function to populate new fields from Garmin API.
### Phase 2: Frontend Architecture Redesign
#### 2.1 Modern CSS Framework
**File: `garminsync/web/static/style.css`**
Replace Bootstrap with custom CSS using modern techniques:
```css
/* CSS Variables for consistent theming */
:root {
--primary-color: #007bff;
--secondary-color: #6c757d;
--success-color: #28a745;
--danger-color: #dc3545;
--light-gray: #f8f9fa;
--dark-gray: #343a40;
--border-radius: 8px;
--box-shadow: 0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
}
/* CSS Grid Layout System */
.container {
max-width: 1200px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0 20px;
}
.layout-grid {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: 300px 1fr;
gap: 20px;
min-height: calc(100vh - 60px);
}
/* Modern Card Components */
.card {
background: white;
border-radius: var(--border-radius);
box-shadow: var(--box-shadow);
padding: 20px;
}
/* Responsive Design */
@media (max-width: 768px) {
.layout-grid {
grid-template-columns: 1fr;
}
}
```
#### 2.2 Navigation Component
**File: `garminsync/web/static/navigation.js`**
Create dynamic navigation:
```javascript
class Navigation {
constructor() {
this.currentPage = this.getCurrentPage();
this.render();
}
getCurrentPage() {
return window.location.pathname === '/activities' ? 'activities' : 'home';
}
render() {
const nav = document.querySelector('.navigation');
nav.innerHTML = this.getNavigationHTML();
this.attachEventListeners();
}
getNavigationHTML() {
return `
`;
}
}
```
### Phase 3: Home Page Implementation
#### 3.1 Home Page Template Redesign
**File: `garminsync/web/templates/dashboard.html`**
```html
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block content %}
{% endblock %}
```
#### 3.2 Home Page JavaScript Controller
**File: `garminsync/web/static/home.js`**
```javascript
class HomePage {
constructor() {
this.logSocket = null;
this.statsRefreshInterval = null;
this.init();
}
init() {
this.attachEventListeners();
this.setupRealTimeUpdates();
this.loadInitialData();
}
attachEventListeners() {
document.getElementById('sync-now-btn').addEventListener('click',
() => this.triggerSync());
}
async triggerSync() {
const btn = document.getElementById('sync-now-btn');
const status = document.getElementById('sync-status');
btn.disabled = true;
btn.innerHTML = ' Syncing...';
status.textContent = 'Sync in progress...';
try {
const response = await fetch('/api/sync/trigger', {method: 'POST'});
const result = await response.json();
if (response.ok) {
status.textContent = 'Sync completed successfully';
this.updateStats();
} else {
throw new Error(result.detail || 'Sync failed');
}
} catch (error) {
status.textContent = `Sync failed: ${error.message}`;
} finally {
btn.disabled = false;
btn.innerHTML = ' Sync Now';
}
}
setupRealTimeUpdates() {
// Poll for log updates every 5 seconds during active operations
this.startLogPolling();
// Update stats every 30 seconds
this.statsRefreshInterval = setInterval(() => {
this.updateStats();
}, 30000);
}
async startLogPolling() {
// Implementation for real-time log updates
}
async updateStats() {
try {
const response = await fetch('/api/activities/stats');
const stats = await response.json();
document.getElementById('total-activities').textContent = stats.total;
document.getElementById('downloaded-activities').textContent = stats.downloaded;
document.getElementById('missing-activities').textContent = stats.missing;
} catch (error) {
console.error('Failed to update stats:', error);
}
}
}
```
### Phase 4: Activities Page Implementation
#### 4.1 Activities Page Template
**File: `garminsync/web/templates/activities.html`**
```html
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block content %}
| Date |
Activity Type |
Duration |
Distance |
Max HR |
Power |
{% endblock %}
```
#### 4.2 Activities Table Controller
**File: `garminsync/web/static/activities.js`**
```javascript
class ActivitiesPage {
constructor() {
this.currentPage = 1;
this.pageSize = 25;
this.totalPages = 1;
this.activities = [];
this.filters = {};
this.init();
}
init() {
this.loadActivities();
this.setupEventListeners();
}
async loadActivities() {
try {
const params = new URLSearchParams({
page: this.currentPage,
per_page: this.pageSize,
...this.filters
});
const response = await fetch(`/api/activities?${params}`);
const data = await response.json();
this.activities = data.activities;
this.totalPages = Math.ceil(data.total / this.pageSize);
this.renderTable();
this.renderPagination();
} catch (error) {
console.error('Failed to load activities:', error);
this.showError('Failed to load activities');
}
}
renderTable() {
const tbody = document.getElementById('activities-tbody');
tbody.innerHTML = '';
this.activities.forEach((activity, index) => {
const row = this.createTableRow(activity, index);
tbody.appendChild(row);
});
}
createTableRow(activity, index) {
const row = document.createElement('tr');
row.className = index % 2 === 0 ? 'row-even' : 'row-odd';
row.innerHTML = `
${this.formatDate(activity.start_time)} |
${activity.activity_type || '-'} |
${this.formatDuration(activity.duration)} |
${this.formatDistance(activity.distance)} |
${activity.max_heart_rate || '-'} |
${this.formatPower(activity.avg_power)} |
`;
return row;
}
formatDate(dateStr) {
return new Date(dateStr).toLocaleDateString();
}
formatDuration(seconds) {
if (!seconds) return '-';
const hours = Math.floor(seconds / 3600);
const minutes = Math.floor((seconds % 3600) / 60);
return `${hours}:${minutes.toString().padStart(2, '0')}`;
}
formatDistance(meters) {
if (!meters) return '-';
return `${(meters / 1000).toFixed(1)} km`;
}
formatPower(watts) {
return watts ? `${Math.round(watts)}W` : '-';
}
}
```
### Phase 5: Styling and Visual Polish
#### 5.1 Advanced CSS Styling
**File: `garminsync/web/static/components.css`**
```css
/* Table Styling */
.activities-table {
width: 100%;
border-collapse: collapse;
font-size: 14px;
}
.activities-table thead {
background-color: #000;
color: white;
}
.activities-table th {
padding: 12px 16px;
text-align: left;
font-weight: 600;
border-right: 1px solid #333;
}
.activities-table td {
padding: 12px 16px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;
}
.activities-table .row-even {
background-color: #f8f9fa;
}
.activities-table .row-odd {
background-color: #ffffff;
}
/* Sync Button Styling */
.btn-primary.btn-large {
width: 100%;
padding: 15px;
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: 600;
border-radius: var(--border-radius);
background: linear-gradient(135deg, #007bff 0%, #0056b3 100%);
border: none;
color: white;
cursor: pointer;
transition: all 0.2s ease;
}
.btn-primary.btn-large:hover {
transform: translateY(-2px);
box-shadow: 0 4px 12px rgba(0,123,255,0.3);
}
.btn-primary.btn-large:disabled {
opacity: 0.6;
cursor: not-allowed;
transform: none;
}
/* Statistics Card */
.statistics-card .stat-item {
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
margin-bottom: 10px;
padding: 8px 0;
border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;
}
.statistics-card .stat-item:last-child {
border-bottom: none;
}
.statistics-card label {
font-weight: 500;
color: #666;
}
.statistics-card span {
font-weight: 600;
color: #333;
}
```
#### 5.2 Responsive Design
**File: `garminsync/web/static/responsive.css`**
```css
/* Mobile-first responsive design */
@media (max-width: 768px) {
.layout-grid {
grid-template-columns: 1fr;
gap: 15px;
}
.sidebar {
order: 2;
}
.main-content {
order: 1;
}
.activities-table {
font-size: 12px;
}
.activities-table th,
.activities-table td {
padding: 8px 10px;
}
}
@media (max-width: 480px) {
.activities-table {
display: block;
overflow-x: auto;
white-space: nowrap;
}
}
```
### Phase 6: Integration and Testing
#### 6.1 Updated Base Template
**File: `garminsync/web/templates/base.html`**
```html
GarminSync
{% block content %}{% endblock %}
{% block page_scripts %}{% endblock %}
```
#### 6.2 App Router Updates
**File: `garminsync/web/app.py`**
Add activities route:
```python
@app.get("/activities")
async def activities_page(request: Request):
"""Activities page route"""
if not templates:
return JSONResponse({"message": "Activities endpoint"})
return templates.TemplateResponse("activities.html", {
"request": request
})
```
