# ContactTable Component Fix

## Problem
The `<contact-table />` component was not showing in the Contacts.vue page.

## Root Cause
The **ContactTable.vue** component had an incomplete `<script>` section:
- Missing `export default` statement
- Not using `<script setup>` properly
- Components (SoftCheckbox, SoftButton, SoftAvatar) were not imported
- Images (img1-img6) were imported but not exposed to the template
- No proper component setup

## Solution
Converted both files to use Vue 3 `<script setup>` without TypeScript.

### Changes Made

#### 1. ContactTable.vue (`src/components/molecules/Tables/ContactTable.vue`)

**Before:**
```vue
<script>
import { DataTable } from "simple-datatables";
import img1 from "../../../assets/img/team-2.jpg";
// ... more imports but no export or setup
</script>
```

**After:**
```vue
<script setup>
import { onMounted } from 'vue'
import { DataTable } from 'simple-datatables'
import SoftCheckbox from '@/components/SoftCheckbox.vue'
import SoftButton from '@/components/SoftButton.vue'
import SoftAvatar from '@/components/SoftAvatar.vue'
import img1 from '@/assets/img/team-2.jpg'
import img2 from '@/assets/img/team-1.jpg'
import img3 from '@/assets/img/team-3.jpg'
import img4 from '@/assets/img/team-4.jpg'
import img5 from '@/assets/img/team-5.jpg'
import img6 from '@/assets/img/ivana-squares.jpg'

onMounted(() => {
  const dataTableEl = document.getElementById('order-list')
  if (dataTableEl) {
    new DataTable(dataTableEl, {
      searchable: false,
      fixedHeight: true
    })
  }
})
</script>
```

**Key fixes:**
- ✅ Added `<script setup>` for proper Vue 3 Composition API
- ✅ Imported required components (SoftCheckbox, SoftButton, SoftAvatar)
- ✅ Used `@/` alias for cleaner imports
- ✅ Added `onMounted` to initialize DataTable after component mounts
- ✅ All imports are now properly exposed to the template

#### 2. Contacts.vue (`src/views/pages/CRM/Contacts.vue`)

**Before:**
```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import SoftButton from "@/components/SoftButton.vue";
import ContactTable from "@/components/molecules/Tables/ContactTable.vue";
</script>
```

**After:**
```vue
<script setup>
import SoftButton from '@/components/SoftButton.vue'
import ContactTable from '@/components/molecules/Tables/ContactTable.vue'
</script>
```

**Key fixes:**
- ✅ Removed TypeScript (`lang="ts"`)
- ✅ Consistent quote style
- ✅ Properly imports ContactTable component

## How `<script setup>` Works

With `<script setup>`:
- No need for `export default`
- All top-level imports are automatically available in the template
- All top-level variables are automatically reactive
- Cleaner, more concise syntax
- Better TypeScript inference (when needed)

## Component Structure

```
Contacts.vue (parent)
    └── ContactTable.vue (child)
            ├── SoftCheckbox.vue
            ├── SoftButton.vue
            └── SoftAvatar.vue
```

## Features Added

1. **DataTable Integration**: The table is now initialized as a DataTable on mount
2. **Component Registration**: All child components properly imported and registered
3. **Image Assets**: All team images properly imported and accessible
4. **Clean Setup**: No TypeScript complexity, pure Vue 3 Composition API

## Testing

To verify the fix works:
1. Navigate to the Contacts page
2. The table should now render with all data
3. DataTable features (sorting, etc.) should work
4. All avatars and images should display

## Common Issues with `<script setup>`

### ❌ Wrong - Old Options API style:
```vue
<script>
export default {
  components: { MyComponent },
  data() { return {} }
}
</script>
```

### ✅ Correct - Script setup:
```vue
<script setup>
import MyComponent from './MyComponent.vue'
// MyComponent is automatically registered
// No need for components: {} registration
</script>
```

### ❌ Wrong - Missing imports:
```vue
<template>
  <soft-button /> <!-- Won't work, not imported -->
</template>
<script setup>
// Missing import!
</script>
```

### ✅ Correct - With imports:
```vue
<template>
  <soft-button /> <!-- Works! -->
</template>
<script setup>
import SoftButton from '@/components/SoftButton.vue'
</script>
```

## Benefits of This Approach

1. **Simpler**: No TypeScript complexity
2. **Cleaner**: Less boilerplate code
3. **Standard**: Follows Vue 3 best practices
4. **Maintainable**: Easy to understand and modify
5. **Performant**: `<script setup>` has better runtime performance

## Next Steps

If you want to add more features:

### Add Search to the table:
```vue
<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'

const searchQuery = ref('')

onMounted(() => {
  new DataTable(dataTableEl, {
    searchable: true,  // Enable search
    fixedHeight: true
  })
})
</script>
```

### Make the data dynamic:
```vue
<script setup>
import { ref, onMounted } from 'vue'
import axios from 'axios'

const contacts = ref([])

onMounted(async () => {
  const response = await axios.get('/api/contacts')
  contacts.value = response.data
})
</script>
```

Then loop through contacts in the template with `v-for`.
