Event Creation & Management

This feature allows users to create, update, and delete events programmatically. Events can be defined with attributes such as title, date, time, location, description, and type (e.g., school assembly, sports day). The module provides APIs for batch operations and supports recurring events.

Customizable Templates

The tool includes a template system where users can design event announcements with custom text, images, colors, and layouts. These templates can be saved and reused for different events, ensuring consistent branding and formatting.

Dashboard Integration

Events are displayed on school dashboards in real-time. The module supports integration with various dashboarding tools and provides APIs to fetch event data for display. Events can appear as cards, lists, or other formats depending on the dashboard configuration.

Search & Filtering

Users can search for events by title, date, location, or type using a built-in query interface. Filters allow users to narrow down events based on multiple criteria, making it easy to find specific events quickly.

Notifications

The module provides APIs to send push notifications or emails when new events are added or when an event is approaching. Developers can configure notification rules and channels (e.g., in-app alerts, SMS) to ensure users stay informed.

Export/Import Functionality

Events and templates can be exported as JSON or XML files for backup, migration, or sharing across systems. The import functionality allows developers to restore events from exported files, ensuring data consistency and ease of use.

Category: Core
Summary: A tool to manage and display school events on dashboards.

This module provides APIs and UI components for creating, updating, and displaying school events.

Code Samples

1. FastAPI Endpoint (Python)

Here’s an example of a FastAPI endpoint to create a new event:

from fastapi import APIRouter, Depends, HTTPException
from typing import Annotated
from pydantic import BaseModel

router = APIRouter()

class EventCreate(BaseModel):
    title: str
    date: str
    description: str
    location: str
    is_featured: bool
    category: str  # e.g., "sports", "academic", "cultural"

# Example database model (simplified)
events_db = []

@router.post("/api/events/", response_model=EventCreate)
async def create_event(event: EventCreate):
    events_db.append(event.dict())
    return event

2. React UI Snippet

Here’s a React component for displaying upcoming events in a dashboard:

import React, { useState } from 'react';

const EventsDashboard = () => {
    const [events, setEvents] = useState([
        { id: 1, title: "Annual Sports Day", date: "2023-10-15" },
        { id: 2, title: "Science Fair", date: "2023-11-01" },
        // ... more events
    ]);

    const filteredEvents = events.sort((a, b) => {
        return new Date(a.date).getTime() - new Date(b.date).getTime();
    });

    return (
        <div className="events-dashboard">
            <h2>Upcoming Events</h2>
            <div className="event-grid">
                {filteredEvents.map((event) => (
                    <div key={event.id} className="event-card">
                        <h3>{event.title}</h3>
                        <p>Date: {new Date(event.date).toLocaleDateString()}</p>
                    </div>
                ))}
            </div>
        </div>
    );
};

export default EventsDashboard;

3. Data Schema (Pydantic)

Here’s the Pydantic schema for event data:

from pydantic import BaseModel
from typing import Optional

class Event(BaseModel):
    id: str
    title: str
    date: str
    description: Optional[str] = None
    location: Optional[str] = None
    is_featured: bool
    category: str  # Use enum or predefined categories
    created_at: str
    updated_at: str

class EventCreate(Event):
    id: Optional[str] = None

class EventUpdate(Event):
    title: Optional[str] = None
    date: Optional[str] = None

Usage Notes

• FastAPI Endpoint: Use the /api/events/ endpoint to create new events. Send a POST request with an EventCreate model in the request body.
• React UI: The EventsDashboard component displays upcoming events in a grid layout, sorted by date.
• Data Schema: Use Pydantic models for request validation and response handling.
