# Phase 1 Completion Summary - Backend Enhancements ## Completed Tasks ### 1. ✅ Action Categories Endpoint **Endpoint:** `GET /api/v1/configuration/action-categories` **Response Format:** ```json { "categories": { "Camera Control": ["PanLeft", "PanRight", "PanStop", ...], "Video Switching": ["CrossSwitch C -> M", "CrossSwitch OpCon -> Matrix"], "System": ["SystemWarning", "SystemError", ...], ... }, "total_categories": 10, "total_actions": 45 } ``` **Categories Available:** - **Camera Control** (22 actions) - Pan, Tilt, Zoom, Focus, Iris, Presets, Movement - **System** (7 actions) - Warnings, Errors, Info, Video sync/contrast notifications - **Viewer** (3 actions) - Live connections, disconnections - **Events** (3 actions) - Start, Stop, Kill - **Digital I/O** (2 actions) - Contact activation/deactivation - **Recording** (2 actions) - Start/Stop recording - **Video Switching** (2 actions) - CrossSwitch operations - **Custom** (2 actions) - GSC and GNG custom actions - **Alarms** (1 action) - Alarm recording - **Input** (1 action) - Input contact triggers ### 2. ✅ Enhanced Action Templates All action templates now include: - **description** - Detailed description of what the action does - **category** - Category for organization - **required_caption** - Whether a caption field is required - **supports_delay** - Whether delay execution is supported - **parameter_types** (optional) - Data types for parameters **Example Enhanced Template:** ```json { "action_name": "PanStop", "parameters": ["GCoreServer", "PTZ head"], "description": "Stop pan movement. The panning of the camera will be stopped.", "category": "Camera Control", "required_caption": true, "supports_delay": true } ``` ### 3. ✅ Expanded Action Library Increased from 30 to **45 actions** covering: **Camera Control:** - Basic: Pan, Tilt, Zoom, Focus, Iris operations - Advanced: Move to absolute/relative position, Move by speed, Auto pan - Presets: Save and recall preset positions **System Actions:** - SystemWarning, SystemError, SystemInfo - VideoSyncFailure, VideoSyncOk - VideoContrastAlarm, VideoContrastOk **Video Actions:** - ViewerConnectLive (with parameters) - CrossSwitch operations **Custom Actions:** - GscCustomAction - for custom GSC commands - GNGCustomAction - for custom GNG commands **Input Actions:** - InputContact - for digital input triggers ## API Endpoints Summary | Endpoint | Method | Description | |----------|--------|-------------| | `/api/v1/configuration/action-types` | GET | Get all action templates | | `/api/v1/configuration/action-types/{name}` | GET | Get specific action template | | `/api/v1/configuration/action-categories` | GET | Get actions grouped by category | ## Testing Results All endpoints tested and working: - ✅ Categories endpoint returns 10 categories with 45 actions - ✅ Action templates include enhanced metadata - ✅ Descriptions match native GeViSet app - ✅ Parameter types defined for form generation ## Usage for Flutter App ### 1. On App Startup - Load Categories ```dart final response = await http.get( Uri.parse('$apiUrl/action-categories'), headers: {'Authorization': 'Bearer $token'}, ); final categories = jsonDecode(response.body)['categories']; // categories = { // "Camera Control": ["PanLeft", "PanRight", ...], // "Video Switching": [...], // ... // } ``` ### 2. Build Category Dropdown ```dart DropdownButton( value: selectedCategory, items: categories.keys.map((category) => DropdownMenuItem(value: category, child: Text(category)) ).toList(), onChanged: (category) { setState(() { selectedCategory = category; // Load actions for this category }); }, ) ``` ### 3. Display Actions in Category ```dart ListView.builder( itemCount: categories[selectedCategory].length, itemBuilder: (context, index) { final actionName = categories[selectedCategory][index]; return ListTile( title: Text(actionName), onTap: () => _selectAction(actionName), ); }, ) ``` ### 4. Show Action Details ```dart // Fetch full action template final response = await http.get( Uri.parse('$apiUrl/action-types/$actionName'), headers: {'Authorization': 'Bearer $token'}, ); final template = jsonDecode(response.body); // Show description Text(template['description']); // Generate parameter fields for (var param in template['parameters']) { TextField( decoration: InputDecoration(labelText: param), ); } // Show caption field if required if (template['required_caption'] == true) { TextField( decoration: InputDecoration(labelText: 'Caption (required)'), ); } // Show delay field if supported if (template['supports_delay'] == true) { TextField( decoration: InputDecoration( labelText: 'Delay execution', suffixText: 'ms', ), ); } ``` ## Files Modified 1. **C:\DEV\COPILOT\geutebruck-api\src\api\routers\configuration.py** - Added 15 new action templates - Enhanced existing templates with metadata - Added `/action-categories` endpoint - Total action count: 30 → 45 ## Next Steps (Phase 2 & 3) ### Phase 2: Flutter UI Components 1. Create ActionPickerDialog with two-pane layout 2. Implement category dropdown + action list 3. Build dynamic parameter fields based on templates 4. Add description display at bottom 5. Add caption and delay execution fields ### Phase 3: DataTable Main View 1. Replace card-based list with DataTable 2. Show multiple output actions as columns 3. Add row selection 4. Implement Add/Edit/Remove buttons ### Phase 4: Full Integration 1. Wire up ActionPickerDialog to mapping editor 2. Implement output action reordering 3. Add validation for required fields 4. Test full workflow: List → Edit → Pick Action → Set Parameters → Save ## Performance Notes - All action templates loaded in-memory (45 templates = ~10KB) - Categories computed on-demand (fast, <1ms) - Action names sorted alphabetically within categories - No database queries - all static data ## Backward Compatibility ✅ All existing endpoints remain unchanged: - `/action-mappings` - Still works, now includes `output_action_names` - `/action-types` - Still works, now includes enhanced metadata - New `/action-categories` endpoint is additive ## Ready for Flutter Development The backend is now ready for Flutter app Phase 2 development. All necessary data is available through clean REST APIs with proper authentication and authorization.
