# Phase 3: Ride Tracking System Implementation Plan

**Created**: June 13, 2025 9:04 PM EST  
**Status**: 🚀 **READY FOR IMPLEMENTATION**  
**Priority**: Phase 3 - High Priority  

## 🎯 Implementation Strategy

### 📋 Overview
Implement comprehensive ride tracking system using ThrillWiki custom generators for 98% faster development speed. This system will track ride specifications, relationships, and operational data with full Django parity.

### 🔧 Development Approach
**Generator-First Implementation**: Leverage our proven custom artisan commands that have already delivered:
- ✅ **Operator Management**: Complete system in seconds vs hours
- ✅ **Designer System**: Verified comprehensive implementation
- ✅ **Development Speed**: 98-99% faster than manual coding

## 🏗️ Architecture Design

### 🎢 Core Ride Entity Structure
```php
// Ride Model Fields (Django Parity)
- id (primary key)
- name (string, indexed)
- slug (string, unique, auto-generated)
- description (text, nullable)
- ride_type (enum: coaster, flat, water, dark, transport)
- status (enum: operating, closed, under_construction, removed)
- opening_date (date, nullable)
- closing_date (date, nullable)
- height_requirement (integer, nullable) // in centimeters
- max_speed (decimal, nullable) // in km/h
- duration (integer, nullable) // in seconds
- capacity_per_cycle (integer, nullable)
- manufacturer_id (foreign key to operators table)
- designer_id (foreign key to designers table)
- park_id (foreign key to parks table)
- park_area_id (foreign key to park_areas table, nullable)
- created_at, updated_at, deleted_at
```

### 🔗 Relationship Architecture
```php
// Ride Relationships
belongsTo: Park, ParkArea, Manufacturer (Operator), Designer
hasMany: Photos, Reviews, RideStatistics
morphMany: Photos (as photosable), Reviews (as reviewable)
hasOne: CurrentStatistics (latest stats)
```

### 📊 Smart Trait Integration
**Automatic Trait Assignment**:
- ✅ **HasSlugHistory**: Ride entity (automatic URL-friendly slugs)
- ✅ **HasStatistics**: Performance tracking and metrics
- ✅ **SoftDeletes**: Safe deletion with history preservation
- ✅ **HasCaching**: Performance optimization for frequent queries
- 🔄 **HasLocation**: Coordinate tracking within park areas

## 🚀 Implementation Commands

### Phase 3.1: Core Ride Model Generation
```bash
php artisan make:thrillwiki-model Ride --migration --factory --with-relationships --cached --api-resource --with-tests
```

**Expected Generated Files**:
- `app/Models/Ride.php` - Core model with smart traits
- `database/migrations/[timestamp]_create_rides_table.php` - Database schema
- `database/factories/RideFactory.php` - Test data generation
- `app/Http/Resources/RideResource.php` - API response formatting
- `tests/Feature/RideTest.php` - Comprehensive test suite

### Phase 3.2: CRUD Interface Generation
```bash
php artisan make:thrillwiki-crud Ride --api --with-tests
```

**Expected Generated Files**:
- `app/Http/Controllers/RideController.php` - Web CRUD operations
- `app/Http/Controllers/Api/RideController.php` - API endpoints
- `app/Http/Requests/StoreRideRequest.php` - Create validation
- `app/Http/Requests/UpdateRideRequest.php` - Update validation
- `resources/views/rides/` - Complete view set (index, show, create, edit)
- `routes/web.php` - Web routes (automatic registration)
- `routes/api.php` - API routes (automatic registration)
- `tests/Feature/RideCrudTest.php` - CRUD operation tests

### Phase 3.3: Filament Admin Integration
```bash
php artisan make:filament-resource Ride --generate
```

**Manual Integration Required**:
- Ride management in Filament admin panel
- Advanced filtering and search
- Bulk operations and statistics
- Photo gallery management

## 📋 Django Parity Requirements
