Summary

  • Adds course category taxonomy with 31 categories across 6 groups
  • Browsable category hub at /dashboard/courses/categories
  • Category landing pages at /dashboard/courses/category/[slug]
  • URL-driven filters on main courses page (category chips, search, sort)

CodeRabbit Fixes

  • Guard getCategoryBySlug with Object.hasOwn to reject inherited prototype keys
  • Fix resolveSlug: reject empty strings, partial matching only returns slug on unique match
  • Fix fetchCourses error handling in categories hub, category landing, and courses page

Conflict Resolution

  • Rebased onto latest upstream/dev
  • Resolved 4 merge conflicts (categories.js, ComboBox, courseCard, courses/page.jsx)

Closes #122

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a course categories hub with category counts, grouped listings, and direct links to filtered courses.
    • Added category landing pages with descriptions, course counts, sorting options, course creation, and responsive loading, empty, and error states.
    • Course cards now display category badges that link to the relevant category page.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved course-loading error handling and reporting.
    • Improved category matching and handling of unrecognized categories.

dehonesty2-svg and others added 2 commits September 2, 2026 12:55
- Add lib/categories.js as single source of truth for 31 Islamic
  categories (slug, label, group, description, icon) across 6 groups.
  Includes resolveSlug() with legacy-value fallback + console.warn,
  getCategoryCounts() for client-side counts (backend-ready),
  getGroupedCategories(), and an islamicCategoriesCompat shim.

- Fix ComboBox.jsx: remove internal value state bug; now fully
  controlled by the category prop; imports from lib/categories.js.

- Update courseCard.jsx: category badge links to the category landing
  page via resolveSlug(); unknown/legacy categories render as a plain
  decorative badge (no crash).

- Update courses page with URL-driven filters: horizontally scrollable
  category chips, text search, sort (newest/price/rating), all state
  persisted in ?category=&sort=&q= query params; survives refresh.

- Add /dashboard/courses/categories: browsable hub showing all 6 groups
  and 31 category cards with live course counts; empty categories are
  de-emphasised (not hidden).

- Add /dashboard/courses/category/[slug]: landing page with hero,
  breadcrumb, filtered & sorted course grid, empty state with educator
  CTA, not-found state for unknown slugs.

Closes Deen-Bridge#113
- Guard _bySlug and _labelToSlug lookups with Object.hasOwn to reject
  inherited prototype keys (constructor, __proto__)
- Fix resolveSlug: empty string now returns null before any lookup
- Fix resolveSlug: partial matching now returns slug only on unique match
  (prevents ambiguous values like 'Islamic' resolving to wrong category)
- Fix fetchCourses error handling: failures now surface to error state
  instead of silently collapsing to empty list in categories hub,
  category landing, and main courses page (bookmark branch unchanged)
- Rebased onto latest upstream/dev to resolve merge conflicts

Walkthrough

Adds a shared category taxonomy, a grouped category hub, dynamic category landing pages, course sorting and filtering, navigable category badges, and explicit fetch error handling.

Changes

Course category discovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Category taxonomy and resolution
lib/categories.js
Adds the CATEGORIES alias, resolveSlug, and getGroupedCategories. Updates category lookup and the Seerah label.
Category hub loading and grouped rendering
app/dashboard/courses/categories/page.jsx
Adds grouped category sections with live course counts, loading placeholders, retry handling, and links to category pages.
Category landing page flow
app/dashboard/courses/category/[slug]/page.jsx
Adds dynamic category pages with slug validation, filtered and sorted courses, loading and empty states, retry handling, and the create-course modal.
Course card category navigation and fetch error handling
components/molecules/dashboard/cards/courseCard.jsx, app/[locale]/dashboard/courses/page.jsx
Uses resolved category slugs for linked badges and renders unknown categories as decorative badges. The courses page now treats missing fetch data as an error and logs failures.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 6f1f6

The new category experience is not merge-ready: the hub and category pages can fail at runtime, existing Seerah courses can disappear from category navigation, and fetch outages can appear as empty catalogs; the new dashboard route may also bypass the protection used by existing dashboard pages until authentication and server-side authorization are confirmed.

Expose fetch failures separately from an empty course catalog.

fetchCourses() catches request errors and returns []. An empty array is truthy, so every new if (!data) guard accepts the failure and renders an empty state instead of NetworkErrorComp. Make fetchCourses() reject on request failure, or return an explicit result status.

Use fields from the category group object.

CATEGORY_GROUPS contains objects, but this code compares c.group to the whole object and renders {group}. The comparison produces no category cards. Rendering the object throws and prevents the hub from loading. Use group.categories, group.id, and group.label.

Proposed fix
 {CATEGORY_GROUPS.map((group) => {
-  const groupCategories = CATEGORIES.filter(
-    (c) => c.group === group
-  );
+  const groupCategories = group.categories;
   return (
-    <section key={group}>
+    <section key={group.id}>
       <h2>
-        {group}
+        {group.label}
       </h2>

Render each Lucide icon as a JSX element.

The taxonomy stores Lucide component references. Rendering {cat.icon} or {category.icon} passes a component definition as a child, which React rejects. Assign the value to a capitalized local such as CategoryIcon, then render <CategoryIcon />.

  • app/dashboard/courses/categories/page.jsx#L128-L134: render the category icon component.
  • app/dashboard/courses/category/[slug]/page.jsx#L132-L134: render the header category icon component.
  • app/dashboard/courses/category/[slug]/page.jsx#L204-L206: render the empty-state category icon component.

Preserve the legacy Seerah category value.

Courses stored with Seerah (Life of the Prophet ﷺ) no longer resolve. resolveSlug() returns null, so cards lose category navigation and the category page excludes these courses. Add a legacy alias or apply the existing parenthetical-label normalization before matching.
