# Admin Navigation Auto-Centering Implementation ## Overview The admin sidebar now automatically centers the current page navigation item in view, providing clear visual feedback about the user's current location in the admin panel. ## How It Works ### 1. Hook Implementation - **File**: `frontend/src/hooks/useAdminNavScrollRetention.ts` - **Purpose**: Automatically centers the current page's nav item in the sidebar viewport - **Trigger**: On route changes and component mount ### 2. Centering Logic ```typescript // Calculate scroll position to center the item const targetScrollTop = itemTopRelativeToContainer - (containerHeight / 2) + (itemHeight / 2); // Ensure we don't scroll beyond bounds const finalScrollTop = Math.max(0, Math.min(targetScrollTop, maxScrollTop)); // Smooth scroll to position container.scrollTo({ top: finalScrollTop, behavior: 'smooth' }); ``` ### 3. Navigation Matching - **Exact match**: `/admin/sponzori` matches `href="/admin/sponzori"` - **Partial match**: `/admin/scoreboard/remote` matches `href="/admin/scoreboard"` - **Priority**: Exact matches take precedence over partial matches ## Features ### ✅ Automatic Centering - Centers the current page item in the sidebar viewport - Uses smooth scrolling for polished user experience - Handles edge cases (top/bottom boundaries) ### ✅ Smart Matching - Exact path matching for most pages - Partial matching for nested routes (e.g., scoreboard remote) - Fallback handling for missing nav items ### ✅ Performance Optimized - Debounced scrolling to prevent conflicts - Proper cleanup of event listeners - Minimal DOM queries ### ✅ Debug Support - Development mode logging - Detailed calculation output - Test script included ## Testing ### Manual Testing 1. Navigate to different admin pages 2. Observe sidebar auto-centering the current page item 3. Check smooth scrolling behavior 4. Test edge cases (first/last items) ### Automated Testing Run the test script in browser console: ```javascript // Copy and paste contents of test-scroll-retention.js ``` ### Expected Behavior - `/admin` → Centers "Nástěnka" item - `/admin/sponzori` → Centers "Sponzoři" item - `/admin/analytika` → Centers "Analytika" item - `/admin/scoreboard/remote` → Centers "Scoreboard Remote" item ## File Changes ### Modified Files 1. **`frontend/src/hooks/useAdminNavScrollRetention.ts`** - Complete rewrite for auto-centering functionality - Removed scroll position storage/restoration - Added nav item detection and centering logic 2. **`frontend/src/components/admin/AdminSidebar.tsx`** - Updated to use new hook API - Removed manual scroll save/restore logic - Simplified NavItem interface 3. **`frontend/src/i18n/index.ts`** - Fixed duplicate `tables` property causing build errors ### Added Files 1. **`test-scroll-retention.js`** - Comprehensive test script for validation - Can be run in browser console - Tests multiple scenarios and edge cases ## Configuration Options The hook accepts these options: ```typescript { scrollContainerSelector?: string; // Default: '[data-sidebar="true"]' navItemSelector?: string; // Default: 'a[href*="/admin/"]' enableDebug?: boolean; // Default: false } ``` ## Troubleshooting ### Common Issues 1. **Auto-centering not working** - Check if sidebar has `data-sidebar="true"` attribute - Verify nav items have correct `href` attributes - Check browser console for debug messages 2. **Scrolling to wrong position** - Ensure sidebar has proper height/scroll dimensions - Check for CSS conflicts affecting positioning - Verify container boundaries calculation 3. **Performance issues** - Check for excessive re-renders - Verify event listener cleanup - Monitor for memory leaks ### Debug Mode Enable debug logging by setting: ```typescript useAdminNavScrollRetention({ enableDebug: true }); ``` Or use development environment (automatically enables debug). ## Future Enhancements 1. **Animation customization**: Allow custom scroll behavior 2. **Position memory**: Remember user's preferred scroll position 3. **Keyboard navigation**: Support arrow key navigation with centering 4. **Mobile optimization**: Different behavior for mobile viewports 5. **Accessibility**: ARIA labels and screen reader support ## Browser Compatibility - ✅ Chrome 61+ - ✅ Firefox 36+ - ✅ Safari 14+ - ✅ Edge 79+ Uses standard `scrollTo()` API with `behavior: 'smooth'` option.
