# Navigation Bar Time Integration ## 🎯 Overview The navigation bar (`components/main-nav.tsx`) currently displays a static time that doesn't refresh. This document outlines how to integrate it into the unified refresh system. ## 🔍 Current Issue **File**: `components/main-nav.tsx` (lines 228-231) ```typescript // Current code - STATIC (doesn't refresh) const now = new Date(); const formattedDate = format(now, "d MMMM yyyy", { locale: fr }); const formattedTime = format(now, "HH:mm"); ``` **Problem**: Time is calculated once when component renders and never updates. ## ✅ Solution ### Step 1: Create Time Component **File**: `components/main-nav-time.tsx` (✅ Already created) This component: - Uses `useState` to track current time - Uses `useUnifiedRefresh` hook for 1-second updates - Properly cleans up on unmount - No API calls needed (client-side only) ### Step 2: Update MainNav Component **File**: `components/main-nav.tsx` **Changes needed**: 1. **Import the new component**: ```typescript import { MainNavTime } from './main-nav-time'; ``` 2. **Remove static time code** (lines 228-231): ```typescript // DELETE THESE LINES: // Format current date and time const now = new Date(); const formattedDate = format(now, "d MMMM yyyy", { locale: fr }); const formattedTime = format(now, "HH:mm"); ``` 3. **Replace time display** (lines 294-298): ```typescript // BEFORE: {/* Center - Date and Time */}
{formattedDate}
{formattedTime}
// AFTER: {/* Center - Date and Time */} ``` ### Step 3: Verify Integration After changes: - ✅ Time updates every second - ✅ Uses unified refresh system - ✅ Proper cleanup on unmount - ✅ No memory leaks - ✅ Consistent with other widgets ## 📊 Benefits 1. **Real-time clock**: Time updates every second 2. **Unified system**: Uses same refresh manager as widgets 3. **Memory safe**: Proper cleanup prevents leaks 4. **Consistent**: Same pattern as other components 5. **Maintainable**: Centralized refresh logic ## 🔧 Technical Details ### Refresh Configuration - **Resource**: `navbar-time` - **Interval**: 1000ms (1 second) - **Priority**: `high` (real-time display) - **API Calls**: None (client-side only) - **Cleanup**: Automatic via `useUnifiedRefresh` ### Integration with Refresh Manager The time component registers with the refresh manager: ```typescript useUnifiedRefresh({ resource: 'navbar-time', interval: REFRESH_INTERVALS.NAVBAR_TIME, // 1000ms enabled: true, // Always enabled onRefresh: async () => { setCurrentTime(new Date()); }, priority: 'high', }); ``` ## ✅ Implementation Checklist - [x] Create `components/main-nav-time.tsx` - [x] Add `NAVBAR_TIME` to refresh intervals - [x] Add `navbar-time` to refreshable resources - [ ] Update `components/main-nav.tsx` to use new component - [ ] Test time updates correctly - [ ] Verify cleanup on unmount - [ ] Test with multiple tabs ## 🎯 Expected Result After implementation: - Time updates smoothly every second - No performance impact - No memory leaks - Consistent with unified refresh system --- *Last Updated: Navbar Time Integration Guide*
