I will start by sketching wireframes and mockups in Figma to outline the dashboard layout and user flow.
Then, I'll translate these designs into React components within your Next.js application, ensuring a seamless integration with the existing UI.

Fetch Data:

I’ll create API routes in Next.js (e.g., pages/api/analytics.js) to handle backend requests for fetching analytics data.
Next, I’ll  pull data from these endpoints and manage any data fetching errors gracefully.

Display Data:

I’ll integrate a charting library like Chart.js  to visualize the data effectively.
Then, I’ll implement these charts within Next.js pages, making sure they adapt responsively to different screen sizes using tailwindcss.

Real-Time Updates:

I will set up WebSocket connections using a library such as socket.io to enable real-time data updates.
Next, I’ll ensure that React components in Next.js properly handle these updates, reflecting changes in the UI without needing a full page reload.

Testing:

I’ll write unit tests for the React components using Jest and React Testing Library to ensure they work as expected.
Finally, I’ll conduct end-to-end tests with Cypress to verify the complete functionality of the dashboard, including real-time updates.

4. Ensure Real-Time Updates:
   Implement WebSockets:
   Use Socket.IO for real-time communication in Node.js.
   npm install socket.io

// In your backend code
const http = require('http').Server(app);
const io = require('socket.io')(http);

io.on('connection', (socket) => {
console.log('a user connected');
// Emit data updates
setInterval(() => {
const data = fetchDataFromSource();
socket.emit('updateData', data);
}, 10000); // Update every 10 seconds
});

http.listen(PORT, () => {
console.log(Server is running on port ${PORT});
});

// In the React frontend
import { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
import io from 'socket.io-client';

const socket = io('http://localhost:3000');

useEffect(() => {
socket.on('updateData', (newData) => {
setData(newData);
});
}, []);

[Jemiiah]

Hello @Julian-dev28 i tried messaging you telegram no response I would like clarification on certain things :

Backend Framework: I want to confirm if I’ll be using Next.js server-side capabilities for the backend, or if I’ll set up a separate backend service? If a separate backend is considered, what technologies I’m I evaluating?

Data Storage: How will I store and manage the analytics data? I’m I considering a dedicated database, and if so, which one (e.g., PostgreSQL, MongoDB)?

Events: I’m I going to setup the events listeners| indexer on the backend or what infra do you suggest here?
