## Overview

This document provides a comprehensive reference to all CSS patterns available in the ROA2WEB frontend application. All patterns are production-ready, tested, and follow our design system.

### Key Principles

- ✅ **Use global patterns first** - Check this library before writing custom CSS
- ✅ **Design tokens** - Use CSS variables (`var(--color-primary)`) not hardcoded values
- ✅ **Responsive by default** - All patterns work on mobile
- ✅ **Accessibility** - WCAG 2.1 AA compliant
- ❌ **No duplication** - Never recreate existing patterns

<button class="btn btn-primary">
  <i class="pi pi-plus"></i>
  Add Item
</button>

<!-- Icon-only button -->
<button class="btn btn-icon btn-primary">

<button class="btn btn-primary" disabled>
  <i class="pi pi-spin pi-spinner"></i>
  Processing...
</button>
```

---

## Table Patterns

**Note:** Table styles are centralized in `tables.css`. Always use PrimeVue DataTable component with global styling.

### Basic Table

```html
<DataTable
  :value="data"
  class="p-datatable-sm"
  stripedRows
  :paginator="true"
>
  <Column field="name" header="Name" sortable></Column>
  <Column field="email" header="Email"></Column>
  <Column field="status" header="Status">
    <template #body="slotProps">
      <span :class="getStatusClass(slotProps.data.status)">
        {{ slotProps.data.status }}
      </span>
    </template>
  </Column>
</DataTable>
```

**Global Row Classes (App.vue):**
- `.bank-row` - Blue background for bank rows
- `.cash-row` - Green background for cash rows
- `.invoice-paid` - Light green for paid invoices
- `.invoice-overdue` - Light red for overdue invoices

### ⚠️ Important: Unified Table Column Structure

**All tables in the application MUST follow this structure for consistency:**

✅ **DO: One value per column**
```html
<!-- CORRECT: Separate columns for related data -->
<DataTable :value="data">
  <Column field="account" header="Account" sortable></Column>
  <Column field="debit" header="Debit" sortable>
    <template #body="slotProps">
      {{ formatCurrency(slotProps.data.debit) }}
    </template>
  </Column>
  <Column field="credit" header="Credit" sortable>
    <template #body="slotProps">
      {{ formatCurrency(slotProps.data.credit) }}
    </template>
  </Column>
</DataTable>
```

❌ **DON'T: Multiple values stacked vertically in single column**
```html
<!-- WRONG: Grouping debit/credit in one column -->
<Column header="Balance">
  <template #body="slotProps">
    <div class="balance-group">
      <div>D: {{ slotProps.data.debit }}</div>
      <div>C: {{ slotProps.data.credit }}</div>
    </div>
  </template>
</Column>
```

**Rationale:**
- Maintains visual consistency across all views
- Improves scannability and data comparison
- Better for sorting and filtering
- Follows established patterns (see InvoicesView, MaturityAndDetailsCard)

### Table Filter and Action Buttons

**Standard pattern: PrimeVue buttons with icon + label, separate row below filters**

All filter-related buttons (clear filters, export, refresh) MUST be:
- ✅ **PrimeVue Button** components (not HTML `<button>`)
- ✅ **Icon + label** (both icon and text visible)
- ✅ **Separate row below filters** (not on same row with inputs)
- ✅ **Standard PrimeVue styling** (outlined buttons with contextual colors)

```vue
<div class="form">
  <div class="form-row">
    <!-- Filter inputs -->
    <div class="form-col">
      <div class="form-group">
        <label class="form-label">Filter Name</label>
        <InputText v-model="filter" placeholder="Filter..." class="w-full" />
      </div>
    </div>
    <!-- More filter inputs... -->
  </div>

  <!-- Action Buttons (separate row below filters!) -->
  <div class="filters-actions">
    <Button
      icon="pi pi-filter-slash"
      label="Resetează Filtre"
      class="p-button-outlined p-button-secondary"
      @click="clearFilters"
    />
    <Button
      icon="pi pi-file-excel"
      label="Export Excel"
      class="p-button-outlined p-button-success"
      @click="exportExcel"
      :disabled="!hasData"
    />
    <Button
      icon="pi pi-file-pdf"
      label="Export PDF"
      class="p-button-outlined p-button-danger"
      @click="exportPDF"
      :disabled="!hasData"
    />
    <Button
      icon="pi pi-refresh"
      label="Actualizează"
      :loading="isLoading"
      @click="refresh"
    />
  </div>
</div>
```

**CSS Styles:**

```css
.filters-actions {
  display: flex;
  gap: 1rem;
  justify-content: flex-end;
  padding-top: 1rem;
  border-top: 1px solid var(--surface-border);
}

/* Responsive */
@media (max-width: 768px) {
  .filters-actions {
    flex-direction: column;
  }
}
```

**CRITICAL: Export ALL Data, Not Just Current Page**

Export functions MUST fetch ALL data from the backend, not just the current page:

```javascript
// ❌ WRONG: Only exports current page
const exportExcel = () => {
  const data = store.currentPageData; // Only current page!
  exportToExcel(data, 'filename');
};

// ✅ CORRECT: Exports ALL data
const exportExcel = async () => {
  // Fetch ALL data with large page_size or no pagination
  const params = {
    ...filters,
    page: 1,
    page_size: 999999 // Get all data
  };

  const response = await apiService.get('/endpoint', { params });
  const allData = response.data.items;

  exportToExcel(allData, 'filename');

  toast.add({
    summary: "Export reușit",
    detail: `${allData.length} înregistrări exportate`
  });
};
```

**Use Cases:**
- Financial reports (invoices, trial balance, etc.)
- Detailed data tables with multiple columns
- Any table with filters and pagination
