Notification Frontend

1. Overview

The Notification Module in the Audit Admin application is a comprehensive system designed to manage and configure various types of notifications across different communication channels. This module enables administrators to configure notification preferences for reports, issues, and system events, supporting multiple delivery channels including email, WhatsApp, and push notifications.

Related Features:

• Settings - Parent settings management
• Reports - Report notification triggers
• Issue Tracker - Issue notification events
• Users - Notification recipients and preferences
• Authentication - User context and permissions

1.1 Purpose

The notification system serves as the central hub for:

• Managing notification preferences for different user roles
• Configuring notification triggers for various system events
• Supporting multi-channel communication strategies
• Providing granular control over notification frequency and timing
• Enabling users to manage their subscription preferences

1.2 Key Capabilities

• Multi-channel Support: Email, WhatsApp, and Push notifications
• Role-based Configuration: Different notification settings for various user roles
• Event-driven Architecture: Notifications triggered by specific system events
• Flexible Scheduling: Daily, weekly, and custom frequency options
• Unsubscribe Management: User-controlled opt-out capabilities

2. Architecture

The notification module follows a modular, component-based architecture with clear separation of concerns:

    subgraph "UI Layer"
        Page[NotificationSettingPage]
        Settings[SettingsNotification]
        Report[ReportNotificationSettings]

2.1 Design Principles

1. Modularity: Each notification type has its own component and configuration
2. Reusability: Common components shared across different notification types
3. Scalability: Easy to add new notification types or channels
4. Maintainability: Clear separation between UI, state, and service layers

3. Module Structure

The notification module is organized into the following directory structure:

src/
├── pages/
│   └── settings/
│       └── notification.tsx                 # Entry point page component

4. Component Hierarchy

4.1 Main Components

4.1.1 NotificationSettingPage

Location: src/pages/settings/notification.tsx

The entry point component that provides the page layout and lazy loads the main notification settings component.

const NotificationSettingPage = () => {
    return (
        <Layout>
            <Suspense fallback={<div />}>
                <LeavePageConfirmationModal>
                    <SettingsNotification />
                </LeavePageConfirmationModal>
            </Suspense>
        </Layout>
    );
};

4.1.2 SettingsNotification

Location: src/components/settings/SettingsNotification/SettingsNotification.tsx

The main container component that orchestrates the notification settings interface. It manages:

• Tab navigation between different notification types
• Loading states and error handling
• Data fetching and state management integration
• Form submission and validation

const SettingsNotification = () => {
    const dispatch = useDispatch();
    const { t } = useTranslation();
    const [activeTab, setActiveTab] = useState('report');
    
    // Redux selectors
    const notificationSettings = useSelector(selectNotificationSettings);
    const isLoading = useSelector(selectNotificationLoading);
    const unsubscribeSettings = useSelector(selectUnsubscribeSettings);
    
    useEffect(() => {
        // Fetch notification settings on mount
        dispatch(fetchNotificationSettings({ 
            notificationType: activeTab 
        }));
        dispatch(fetchUnsubscribeSettings());
        dispatch(fetchNotificationRoles());
    }, [activeTab, dispatch]);
    
    const handleTabChange = (tab) => {
        setActiveTab(tab);
    };
    
    return (
        <div className={styles.container}>
            <Tabs 
                activeTab={activeTab}
                onChange={handleTabChange}
                tabs={[
                    { id: 'report', label: t('notification.tabs.report') },
                    { id: 'issue', label: t('notification.tabs.issue') },
                    { id: 'unsubscribe', label: t('notification.tabs.unsubscribe') }
                ]}
            />
            
            <div className={styles.content}>
                {activeTab === 'report' && (
                    <ReportNotificationSettings 
                        settings={notificationSettings}
                        isLoading={isLoading}
                    />
                )}
                {activeTab === 'issue' && (
                    <IssueNotificationSettings 
                        settings={notificationSettings}
                        isLoading={isLoading}
                    />
                )}
                {activeTab === 'unsubscribe' && (
                    <UnsubscribeSettings 
                        settings={unsubscribeSettings}
                        isLoading={isLoading}
                    />
                )}
            </div>
        </div>
    );
};

    const handleToggleNotification = (notificationId, enabled) => {
        dispatch(updateNotificationStatus(notificationId, enabled));
    };
    
    const handleUpdateChannels = (notificationId, channels) => {
        dispatch(updateNotificationChannels(notificationId, channels));
    };
    
    const groupedNotifications = useMemo(() => {
        return groupNotificationsByCategory(settings);
    }, [settings]);
    
    return (
        <div className={styles.issueSettings}>
            {Object.entries(groupedNotifications).map(([category, notifications]) => (
                <NotificationCategory
                    key={category}
                    category={category}
                    notifications={notifications}
                    onToggle={handleToggleNotification}

const UnsubscribeSettings = ({ settings, isLoading }) => {
    const dispatch = useDispatch();
    const [localSettings, setLocalSettings] = useState(settings);
    
    const handleToggleChannel = (channel) => {
        const updated = {
            ...localSettings,
            [channel]: !localSettings[channel]
        };
        setLocalSettings(updated);
        dispatch(updateUnsubscribeSettings(updated));
    };
    
    return (
        <div className={styles.unsubscribeContainer}>
            <h3>{t('notification.unsubscribe.title')}</h3>
            <p>{t('notification.unsubscribe.description')}</p>
            
            <div className={styles.channelOptions}>
                <ChannelToggle
                    channel="email"
                    enabled={!localSettings.emailUnsubscribed}

/api/settings/[notifications](NotificationOverview.md)/roles	GET	Fetch available roles for notifications	Returns list of applicable roles
/api/settings/[notifications](NotificationOverview.md)/templates	GET	Get notification templates	Returns available notification templates

6.1 Service Implementation

Location: src/services/settings/settingsNotification/settingsNotification.service.ts

The service layer provides abstraction over HTTP requests with comprehensive error handling and response transformation:

const service = {
    // Fetch notification settings with pagination support
    getNotificationList: (currentPage, limit, keyword, notificationType) => 
        getRequest('/noti/getSettings', {
            params: {
                currentPage,
                limit,
                keyword,
                notificationType,
                sort: 'name'
            }
        }),
    
    // Create new notification configuration
    createNotificationSettings: (data) => 
        postRequest('/noti/updateNotificationSettings', data),
    
    // Update existing notification settings
    updateNotificationSettings: (settingsId, data) => 
        postRequest(`/noti/updateNotificationSettings/${settingsId}`, data),
    
    // Delete notification configuration
    deleteNotificationSettings: (settingsId) => 
        deleteRequest(`/noti/deleteNotificationSettings/${settingsId}`),
    
    // Fetch unsubscribe settings for current user
    getUnsubscribeSettings: () => 
        getRequest('/noti/getUnsubscribeSettings'),
    
    // Update unsubscribe preferences
    updateUnsubscribeSettings: (data) => 
        postRequest('/noti/updateUnsubscribeSettings', data),
    
    // Get available roles for notification recipients
    getNotificationRoles: () => 
        getRequest('/roles/list', {
            params: { limit: 1000 }
        })
};

6.2 API Response Structure

interface NotificationSettingsResponse {
    data: {
        docs: NotificationSetting[];
        totalDocs: number;
        limit: number;
        page: number;
        totalPages: number;
    };
    status: number;
    message: string;
}
 
interface NotificationSetting {
    _id: string;
    name: string;
    description: string;
    notificationType: 'report' | 'issue';
    eventType: string;
    channels: NotificationChannel[];
    recipients: {
        roles: string[];
        users: string[];
        reportedByManager: boolean;
        reportedByAreaManager: boolean;
    };
    frequency: {
        type: string;
        time?: string;
        interval?: number;
    };
    enabled: boolean;
    createdAt: string;
    updatedAt: string;
}

7. State Management

The notification module uses Redux for state management with a modular reducer structure:

7.1 Redux Structure

graph TB
    subgraph "Redux Store"
        Store[Global Store]
        Settings[settingsPage]
        Notification[settingsNotification]
        Query[Query State]
        Mutation[Mutation State]
    end
    
    Store --> Settings
    Settings --> Notification
    Notification --> Query
    Notification --> Mutation
    
    Query --> QData[Notification Data]
    Query --> QLoading[Loading States]
    Query --> QError[Error States]
    
    Mutation --> MData[Mutation Results]
    Mutation --> MLoading[Operation Status]
    Mutation --> MError[Operation Errors]

7.2 Query Reducer

Location: src/reducers/settingsPage/settingsNotification/settingsNotification.query.reducer.ts

Manages read operations and data fetching:

• Notification settings retrieval
• Loading states for data fetching
• Error handling for failed requests
• Caching of fetched data

7.3 Mutation Reducer

Location: src/reducers/settingsPage/settingsNotification/settingsNotification.mutation.reducer.ts

Handles write operations:

• Create notification settings
• Update existing configurations
• Delete notification rules
• Track operation status

7.4 Actions

Location: src/reducers/settingsPage/settingsNotification/settingsNotification.actions.ts

Defines action creators using Redux-Saga patterns:

// Action Types
export const ActionTypes = {
    // Query Actions
    FETCH_NOTIFICATION_SETTINGS: 'FETCH_NOTIFICATION_SETTINGS',
    FETCH_NOTIFICATION_SETTINGS_SUCCESS: 'FETCH_NOTIFICATION_SETTINGS_SUCCESS',
    FETCH_NOTIFICATION_SETTINGS_FAILURE: 'FETCH_NOTIFICATION_SETTINGS_FAILURE',
    
    FETCH_UNSUBSCRIBE_SETTINGS: 'FETCH_UNSUBSCRIBE_SETTINGS',
    FETCH_UNSUBSCRIBE_SETTINGS_SUCCESS: 'FETCH_UNSUBSCRIBE_SETTINGS_SUCCESS',
    FETCH_UNSUBSCRIBE_SETTINGS_FAILURE: 'FETCH_UNSUBSCRIBE_SETTINGS_FAILURE',
    
    // Mutation Actions
    CREATE_NOTIFICATION_SETTINGS: 'CREATE_NOTIFICATION_SETTINGS',
    UPDATE_NOTIFICATION_SETTINGS: 'UPDATE_NOTIFICATION_SETTINGS',
    DELETE_NOTIFICATION_SETTINGS: 'DELETE_NOTIFICATION_SETTINGS',
    UPDATE_UNSUBSCRIBE_SETTINGS: 'UPDATE_UNSUBSCRIBE_SETTINGS',
};
 
// Action Creators
export const fetchNotificationSettings = (params) => ({
    type: ActionTypes.FETCH_NOTIFICATION_SETTINGS,
    payload: params
});
 
export const updateNotificationSettings = (id, data) => ({
    type: ActionTypes.UPDATE_NOTIFICATION_SETTINGS,
    payload: { id, data }
});
 
// Saga Implementation
function* fetchNotificationSettingsSaga(action) {
    try {
        const response = yield call(
            service.getNotificationList,
            action.payload.currentPage,
            action.payload.limit,
            action.payload.keyword,
            action.payload.notificationType
        );
        
        yield put({
            type: ActionTypes.FETCH_NOTIFICATION_SETTINGS_SUCCESS,
            payload: response.data
        });
    } catch (error) {
        yield put({
            type: ActionTypes.FETCH_NOTIFICATION_SETTINGS_FAILURE,
            payload: error.message
        });
    }
}

7.5 Selectors

Location: src/reducers/settingsPage/settingsNotification/settingsNotification.selector.ts

Provides memoized selectors for efficient state access:

import { createSelector } from 'reselect';
 
// Base selectors
const selectNotificationState = (state) => state.settingsPage.settingsNotification;
const selectQueryState = (state) => selectNotificationState(state).query;
const selectMutationState = (state) => selectNotificationState(state).mutation;
 
// Memoized selectors
export const selectNotificationSettings = createSelector(
    [selectQueryState],
    (query) => query.notificationSettings
);
 
export const selectNotificationLoading = createSelector(
    [selectQueryState],
    (query) => query.isLoading
);
 
export const selectUnsubscribeSettings = createSelector(
    [selectQueryState],
    (query) => query.unsubscribeSettings
);
 
export const selectNotificationRoles = createSelector(
    [selectQueryState],
    (query) => query.roles || []
);

11. Data Flow

The notification module follows a unidirectional data flow pattern:

sequenceDiagram
    participant User
    participant Component
    participant Action
    participant Reducer
    participant Store
    participant Service
    participant API
    
    User->>Component: Configure notification
    Component->>Action: Dispatch update action
    Action->>Service: Call API service
    Service->>API: HTTP request
    API-->>Service: Response data
    Service-->>Action: Process response
    Action->>Reducer: Update state
    Reducer->>Store: New state
    Store-->>Component: State update
    Component-->>User: UI update

11.1 Data Flow Stages

1. User Interaction: User modifies notification settings through UI
2. Component Handling: Component validates input and prepares data
3. Action Dispatch: Action creator is called with configuration data
4. Service Call: Service layer makes API request
5. State Update: Reducer processes response and updates store
6. UI Sync: Component re-renders with updated state

12. Key Features

12.1 Role-Based Notification Management

The system provides granular control over notifications based on user roles:

• Role Hierarchy Support: Notifications can cascade through role hierarchies
• Multi-Role Selection: Configure notifications for multiple roles simultaneously
• Role-Specific Templates: Different notification templates per role
• Dynamic Role Loading: Roles fetched from backend based on permissions

Implementation approach:

interface RoleNotificationConfig {
    roleId: string;
    roleName: string;
    channels: NotificationChannel[];
    frequency: NotificationFrequency;
    enabled: boolean;
}
 
// Role selection component implementation
const ConfigRoleRecipients = ({ formik, name, disabled }) => {
    const roles = useSelector(selectNotificationRoles);
    
    const handleRoleSelection = (selectedRoles) => {
        formik.setFieldValue(name, selectedRoles);
    };
    
    return (
        <MultiSelect
            options={roles}
            value={formik.values[name]}
            onChange={handleRoleSelection}
            disabled={disabled}
            placeholder="Select roles"
        />
    );
};

12.2 Flexible Scheduling System

The notification scheduling system supports:

• Immediate Notifications: Real-time alerts for critical events
• Daily Digests: Consolidated daily summaries at configured times
• Weekly Reports: Weekly rollup notifications
• Custom Schedules: Cron-based scheduling for complex patterns

Scheduling configuration:

interface ScheduleConfig {
    type: 'immediate' | 'daily' | 'weekly' | 'custom';
    time?: string; // HH:MM format
    dayOfWeek?: number; // 0-6 for weekly
    cronExpression?: string; // For custom schedules
    timezone: string;
}
 
// Frequency component implementation
const ConfigFrequency = ({ formik, name, disabled }) => {
    const frequencyOptions = [
        { value: 'immediate', label: 'Immediate' },
        { value: 'daily', label: 'Daily' },
        { value: 'weekly', label: 'Weekly' },
        { value: 'custom', label: 'Custom' }
    ];
    
    return (
        <div className={styles.frequencyConfig}>
            <Select
                options={frequencyOptions}
                value={formik.values[`${name}.type`]}
                onChange={(value) => formik.setFieldValue(`${name}.type`, value)}
                disabled={disabled}
            />
            
            {formik.values[`${name}.type`] === 'daily' && (
                <TimePicker
                    value={formik.values[`${name}.time`]}
                    onChange={(time) => formik.setFieldValue(`${name}.time`, time)}
                    format="HH:mm"
                />
            )}
            
            {formik.values[`${name}.type`] === 'weekly' && (
                <>
                    <DayPicker
                        value={formik.values[`${name}.dayOfWeek`]}
                        onChange={(day) => formik.setFieldValue(`${name}.dayOfWeek`, day)}
                    />
                    <TimePicker
                        value={formik.values[`${name}.time`]}
                        onChange={(time) => formik.setFieldValue(`${name}.time`, time)}
                        format="HH:mm"
                    />
                </>
            )}
        </div>
    );
};

17.1.1 Notifications Not Being Delivered

Symptoms: Configured notifications are not reaching recipients

Possible Causes & Solutions:

• Check notification status: Ensure the notification is enabled in settings
• Verify recipient configuration: Confirm roles/users are correctly set
• Channel availability: Verify the channel (email/WhatsApp) is configured
• Permission issues: Check if users have proper permissions

// Debug notification delivery
const debugNotificationDelivery = async (notificationId) => {
    const settings = await service.getNotificationSettings(notificationId);
    console.log('Notification enabled:', settings.enabled);
    console.log('Recipients:', settings.recipients);
    console.log('Channels:', settings.channels);
    
    // Check user permissions
    const permissions = await service.getUserPermissions();
    console.log('User permissions:', permissions);
};

17.1.2 Performance Issues

Symptoms: Slow loading of notification settings page

Solutions:

• Implement pagination for large notification lists
• Use React.memo for component optimization
• Enable caching for role and user data

17.1.3 WhatsApp Integration Failures

Symptoms: WhatsApp notifications failing

Checklist:

• Verify WhatsApp Business API credentials
• Check template approval status
• Ensure phone numbers are in correct format
• Monitor API rate limits

17.2 Debugging Tools

// Enable debug mode for notification module
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
    window.__NOTIFICATION_DEBUG__ = {
        logStateChanges: true,
        logAPIRequests: true,
        mockDelivery: false
    };
}
 
// Redux DevTools integration
const notificationMiddleware = store => next => action => {
    if (action.type.includes('NOTIFICATION') && window.__NOTIFICATION_DEBUG__) {
        console.group(`Notification Action: ${action.type}`);
        console.log('Payload:', action.payload);
        console.log('State before:', store.getState().settingsPage.settingsNotification);
        const result = next(action);
        console.log('State after:', store.getState().settingsPage.settingsNotification);
        console.groupEnd();
        return result;
    }
    return next(action);
};
