Job ID: 37522430

Budget: €30 – €250 EUR

Drag-and-Drop Schedule Manager Component Brief
----------------------------------------------

Objective:
----------
Develop a standalone drag-and-drop schedule manager component using React and Next.js with TypeScript (.tsx). The component should allow users to manage and visualize scheduled events across different days with drag-and-drop functionality.

Prototype that should be implemented:

Feel free to ask question in comments.

Features:
---------
1. Day View
- Display multiple days with a scrollable view.
- Each day showcases a timeline for scheduling events.

2. Events Visualization
- Represent events and contents with draggable elements.
- Events may have various durations and content.

3. Drag-and-Drop Functionality
- Enable users to drag events across different time slots or days, and reorder
- Implement smooth transitions while dragging and dropping events.

4. Nested Events Support
- Support nested events or sections within a day's schedule.

6. TypeScript Integration
- Use TypeScript to define and enforce types for components, props, and state.

8. API Interaction (optional)
- Allow interaction with an API to fetch and update event data, but use dummy data for this, with JSON result of structure (it will be sent to the backend if user finish (save))

Technical Requirements:
------------------------
- Tech Stack: React and Next.js for frontend development. TypeScript (.tsx) for type safety and code integrity.
- Component Structure: Organize the component with modularity and reusability in mind. Create separate components for schedule, events, and any nested sections.
- React-DnD Integration: Utilize 'react-dnd' or a suitable drag-and-drop library for implementing draggable behavior.
- Data Handling: Manage schedule data using state management (React 'useState' or other suitable state management libraries).
- Styling and UI/UX: as in provided wireframe
- Testing and Error Handling: Implement unit tests for critical components and functionalities. Handle potential errors gracefully (e.g., network errors, unexpected data).

Deliverables:
-------------
1. Component Implementation: Build the drag-and-drop schedule manager component as a standalone reusable module.
2. Documentation: Provide clear documentation on how to use the component, including props, methods, and examples.
3. Testing: Unit tests to ensure the stability and reliability of the component.

Considerations:
---------------
- Usability: Ensure the component is intuitive and easy to use for end-users.
- Performance
