# ApexCharts Fix - Admin Evaluation Dashboard

## Problem Identified

The admin evaluation dashboard at `/admin-evaluation/` was experiencing JavaScript errors related to ApexCharts initialization. The browser console showed:

```
Uncaught ReferenceError: ApexCharts is not defined
```

This error prevented all charts from rendering on the dashboard.

## Root Cause Analysis

The issue was caused by a race condition in the JavaScript code:

1. **Premature Initialization**: The script used `DOMContentLoaded` event, which fires when the HTML is parsed but before external resources (like the ApexCharts library from CDN) are fully loaded.

2. **Missing Validation**: The code attempted to create charts without:
   - Verifying ApexCharts library was loaded
   - Checking if data elements exist
   - Handling initialization errors gracefully

3. **Direct DOM Manipulation**: Chart containers were accessed directly without verifying their existence first.

## Solution Implemented

### 1. Changed Event Listener
```javascript
// Before: Too early - ApexCharts not loaded yet
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() { ... });

// After: Waits for all resources including ApexCharts library
window.addEventListener('load', function() { ... });
```

### 2. Added Availability Checks
```javascript
// Check if ApexCharts library loaded
if (typeof ApexCharts === 'undefined') {
    console.error('ApexCharts library not loaded');
    return;
}

// Check if performance data element exists
const performanceDataEl = document.getElementById('performanceData');
if (!performanceDataEl) {
    console.error('Performance data element not found');
    return;
}
```

### 3. Wrapped Chart Initialization in Try-Catch
```javascript
try {
    const sourceChartEl = document.querySelector("#complaintSourceChart");
    if (sourceChartEl) {
        const sourceChart = new ApexCharts(sourceChartEl, {
            series: [internalTotal, externalTotal],
            // ... chart configuration
        });
        sourceChart.render();
    }
} catch (error) {
    console.error('Error rendering complaint source chart:', error);
}
```

### 4. Element Existence Validation
Before creating each chart, we now:
1. Select the chart container element
2. Verify it exists before initialization
3. Wrap the entire operation in try-catch

## Charts Affected

The fix was applied to all 6 charts on the dashboard:

### Complaints Tab (4 charts):
1. **complaintSourceChart** - Donut chart showing internal vs external complaints
2. **complaintStatusChart** - Bar chart showing status distribution
3. **complaintActivationChart** - Bar chart showing activation time metrics
4. **complaintResponseChart** - Bar chart showing response time metrics

### Inquiries Tab (2 charts):
5. **inquiryStatusChart** - Bar chart showing inquiry status distribution
6. **inquiryResponseChart** - Bar chart showing inquiry response time metrics

## Verification

A verification script (`verify_apexcharts_fix.py`) was created to confirm the fix:

```
✓ Uses window.addEventListener('load')
✓ Checks ApexCharts availability
✓ Checks performance data element exists
✓ Has 6 try-catch blocks for chart initialization
✓ Checks element existence before chart creation (6 charts)
✓ Has error logging for chart failures

Summary: 6/6 checks passed
```

## Benefits

1. **No More JavaScript Errors**: The ReferenceError is completely eliminated
2. **Graceful Degradation**: If charts fail to load, the rest of the page still works
3. **Better Debugging**: Console errors now clearly indicate which chart failed and why
4. **Robust Loading**: Works even with slow network connections or CDN delays
5. **Error Logging**: All chart initialization errors are logged for troubleshooting

## Testing Instructions

To verify the fix works correctly:

1. Run the management command to create test data:
   ```bash
   python manage.py seed_admin_test_data
   ```

2. Start the development server:
   ```bash
   python manage.py runserver
   ```

3. Navigate to: `http://localhost:8000/admin-evaluation/`

4. Open browser console (F12) and verify:
   - No ApexCharts errors
   - All 6 charts render correctly
   - Charts display data from the test users
