Implemented comprehensive UI for displaying and managing environmental
data, with smart recommendations and health scoring.
Components Created:
- EnvironmentalForm.tsx - Multi-section form for all environmental data
* Tabbed interface for 8 environmental categories
* Soil composition (type, pH, texture, drainage, amendments)
* Nutrients (NPK, micronutrients, EC/TDS)
* Lighting (natural/artificial with detailed metrics)
* Climate (temperature, humidity, airflow, zones)
* Location (indoor/outdoor, growing type)
* Container (type, size, drainage warnings)
* Watering (method, source, quality)
* Surroundings (ecosystem, wind, companions)
* Real-time validation and helpful tips
- EnvironmentalDisplay.tsx - Beautiful display of environmental data
* Environmental health score with color coding (0-100)
* Priority-based recommendations (critical → low)
* Organized sections for soil, climate, lighting, etc.
* Data points with smart formatting
* Warning highlights for critical issues
* Integration with recommendations API
Plant Detail Page Integration:
- Added Environment tab to plant detail page
- Shows full environmental data when available
- Displays recommendations with health score
- Empty state with educational content when no data
- Link to Environmental Tracking Guide
- Call-to-action to add environmental data
Features:
- Health Score: 0-100 rating with color-coded progress bar
- Smart Recommendations: Auto-fetched, priority-sorted advice
- Critical Warnings: Red highlights for no drainage, extreme values
- Helpful Tips: Inline guidance for each section
- Responsive Design: Works on mobile and desktop
- Real-time Validation: pH ranges, temperature warnings
Environmental Health Scoring:
- 90-100: Excellent conditions
- 75-89: Good conditions
- 60-74: Adequate conditions
- 40-59: Suboptimal conditions
- 0-39: Poor conditions
Recommendation Priorities:
- 🚨 Critical: No drainage, extreme conditions
- ⚠️ High: pH problems, insufficient light
- 💡 Medium: Humidity, organic matter
- ℹ️ Low: Water quality tweaks
User Experience Improvements:
- "Add" badge on Environment tab when no data
- Educational empty states explaining benefits
- Smart formatting (snake_case → Title Case)
- Color-coded health indicators
- Expandable sections to prevent overwhelming UI
- Context-aware tips and recommendations
This enables users to:
- Easily input environmental data
- See personalized recommendations
- Monitor environmental health
- Learn best practices inline
- Track improvements over time

- Network statistics and visualization
Core Components:
- lib/blockchain/: PlantBlock, PlantChain, and blockchain manager
- lib/services/: plants.net API and geolocation services
