Date: October 26, 2025
Status: Ready for Integration
🎉 What Was Built
A complete Communication Queue Monitoring Dashboard for the frontend-pwa application with real-time monitoring, job management, and operational controls.
📁 Files Created
1. Type Definitions
File: apps/frontend-pwa/src/types/communicationQueue.ts
Defines TypeScript interfaces for:
CommunicationQueue- Queue job modelQueueStats- Statistics modelQueueActionResponse- API response modelQueueStatus- Job status typesQueuePriority- Job priority levelsQueueFilterStatus- Filter options
2. Service Layer
File: apps/frontend-pwa/src/services/communicationQueueService.ts
API service functions:

🚀 Integration Steps
Step 1: Add Route
Add the queue monitoring page to your routes:
// apps/frontend-pwa/src/App.tsx or router config
import QueueMonitoringPage from "@/components/queue/QueueMonitoringPage";
// In your routes:
{
path: "/admin/queue",
element: <QueueMonitoringPage />,
// Add auth guard if needed
}
Step 2: Add Navigation Link
Add a link to your admin navigation:
// In your sidebar/navigation component
<NavLink to="/admin/queue">
<Activity className="w-4 h-4" />
Queue Monitoring
</NavLink>
Step 3: Verify API Base URL
Make sure your API base URL is configured correctly:
// apps/frontend-pwa/src/lib/api.ts
// Should point to: http://localhost:3000/api (dev) or your production URL
Step 4: Test
# Start backend
cd apps/backend
npm run start:dev
# Start frontend (in another terminal)
cd apps/frontend-pwa
npm run dev
# Navigate to: http://localhost:5173/admin/queue
📊 Usage Examples
Monitor Queue Health
- Navigate to
/admin/queue - View stats cards at the top
- Check for alert banners (high pending/failed)
- Stats auto-refresh every 30 seconds
Retry Failed Jobs
- Click "Failed" filter tab
- View list of failed jobs
- Click "Retry" button on a job
- Confirm in toast notification
- Job resets and attempts delivery
View Job Details
- Click "View" (eye icon) on any job
- Modal opens with full details
- Review payload, error messages, timeline
- Close modal
Cancel Scheduled Job
- Click "Pending" filter tab
- Find the job to cancel
- Click "Cancel" button
- Confirm in dialog
- Job status changes to "cancelled"

🔔 Alert Thresholds
The dashboard shows alerts when:
- Pending > 100 - Queue backlog warning
- Failed > 10 - High failure rate alert
- Failed > 20 - Critical failure rate alert (red banner)
Customize thresholds in QueueStatsCards.tsx and QueueMonitoringPage.tsx
🎨 Customization
Change Refresh Interval
// In QueueMonitoringPage.tsx or useQueueStats hook
const { stats } = useQueueStats(60000); // 60 seconds instead of 30
Adjust Job Limit
// In QueueMonitoringPage.tsx
const { jobs } = useQueueJobs(filterStatus, 100); // 100 jobs instead of 50
Modify Alert Thresholds
// In QueueStatsCards.tsx
<StatCard
label="Pending"
value={stats.pending}
alert={stats.pending > 200} // Change from 100 to 200
/>
Add Custom Filters
// In QueueJobsList.tsx
const filters = [
{ value: "all", label: "All" },
{ value: "pending", label: "Pending" },
// Add your custom filter:
{ value: "high_priority", label: "High Priority" },
];
🧪 Testing Checklist
Manual Testing
- Dashboard loads without errors
- Stats cards display correctly
- Stats auto-refresh every 30 seconds
- Filter tabs work (all, pending, failed, etc.)
- View details modal opens and displays data
- Retry button works on failed jobs
- Cancel button works on pending jobs
- Toast notifications appear
- Refresh button updates data
- Process Now button works (admin)
- Mobile view is responsive
- Loading states display correctly
- Error states display correctly
Integration Testing
- API calls use correct authentication
- Business context is properly used
- Translations work (if i18n enabled)
- Routes are accessible
- Navigation links work
- Permissions are enforced (if applicable)
🐛 Troubleshooting
Issue: "Failed to load queue jobs"
Solution:
- Check backend is running:
http://localhost:3000/api - Verify business ID is set in context
- Check browser console for detailed error
- Verify API token is valid
Issue: Stats not updating
Solution:
- Check if auto-refresh interval is set
- Verify
useQueueStatshook is being called - Check browser console for errors
- Try manual refresh button
Issue: Actions not working (retry/cancel)
Solution:
- Check user has proper permissions
- Verify API endpoints are accessible
- Check job status is correct for action
- Review browser network tab for API errors
Issue: Modal not closing
Solution:
- Check
onCloseprop is passed correctly - Verify state management in parent component
- Check for JavaScript errors in console
📈 Performance Considerations
Optimizations Applied
✅ Auto-refresh interval (30s) to reduce API calls
✅ Conditional rendering for loading states
✅ Memoization in hooks with useCallback
✅ Lazy loading of job details (modal)
✅ Client-side filtering for instant response
✅ Efficient re-renders with proper dependencies
Monitoring
Track these metrics:
- API call frequency
- Component render count
- Memory usage (Chrome DevTools)
- Network payload size
🎓 Code Patterns Used
1. Custom Hooks Pattern
Encapsulate data fetching and state management:
const { stats, isLoading, refetch } = useQueueStats();
2. Service Layer Pattern
Separate API logic from components:
await retryJob(token, businessId, jobId);
3. Compound Component Pattern
Break UI into reusable pieces:
<QueueStatsCards stats={stats} isLoading={isLoading} />
4. Controlled Components
Parent manages state, children receive props:
<QueueJobsList
jobs={jobs}
onRetry={handleRetry}
onCancel={handleCancel}
/>
🔜 Future Enhancements
Short-Term
- Add bulk retry for all failed jobs
- Export failed jobs to CSV
- Add date range filter
- Show processing time charts
- Add keyboard shortcuts
Long-Term
- WebSocket for real-time updates
- Advanced filtering (by date, error type, priority)
- Queue analytics dashboard
- Scheduled reports
- Integration with notification system
