Playground Examples - Fixed and Ready

Summary

Reviewed all 21 playground examples and fixed the broken ones. The examples are now ready for testing!

Fixed Examples

1. Data Flow ✅

Fixed: Changed from non-existent pan-fetch to pan-data-connector

// Before: ❌
{ name: 'pan-fetch', attributes: { url: '...', topic: '...' } }

// After: ✅
{ name: 'pan-data-connector', attributes: { resource: 'users', 'base-url': '...' } }

2. Search & Filter ✅

Fixed: Changed from pan-fetch to pan-data-connector

3. Paginated Data Table ✅

Fixed: Changed from pan-fetch to pan-data-connector

4. Dashboard Layout ✅

Fixed: Added chart data and options

{
  name: 'pan-chart',
  attributes: {
    'type': 'bar',
    'data': JSON.stringify({
      labels: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun'],
      datasets: [{
        label: 'Monthly Sales',
        data: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
        backgroundColor: '#2563eb'
      }]
    }),
    'options': JSON.stringify({
      responsive: true,
      maintainAspectRatio: false
    })
  }
}

5. Form with Validation ✅

Fixed: Added resource and fields attributes

{
  name: 'pan-form',
  attributes: {
    'resource': 'users',
    'fields': 'name,email,role'
  }
}

6. Server-Sent Events ✅

Fixed: Changed to placeholder (SSE requires backend)

Now shows a card explaining SSE needs a backend
Prevents console errors from failed fetch

7. GraphQL Integration ✅

Fixed: Changed to placeholder (GraphQL requires backend setup)

Now shows a card explaining GraphQL needs configuration
Prevents console errors from failed fetch

Known Limitations

Backend-Dependent Examples

These examples show placeholders since they need server endpoints:

SSE Stream - Needs /api/events endpoint
GraphQL Integration - Needs GraphQL server

External Service Examples

These examples may not work if external services are down:

WebSocket Real-time - Depends on echo.websocket.org
Data Flow / Search / Pagination - Depend on jsonplaceholder.typicode.com

Schema-Dependent Examples

These need configuration to show meaningful content:

Schema-based Form - Needs schema data
Authentication - Needs login endpoint (shows badges only)

Next Steps

Manual Testing: Go through each example systematically

Document Issues: Note any console errors or broken functionality

Add More Examples: Consider examples for components not yet shown

Add Help Text: Examples that need it should have usage guides

Create Demo Data: Add mock data for schema and auth examples

Success Metrics

An example is considered "working" if:

✅ Loads without console errors
✅ Components render correctly
✅ Core functionality works
✅ PAN messages flow (visible in monitor)
✅ Properties panel shows editable attributes

All 21 examples are now ready for systematic testing! 🎉
