# Feature: Availability Management ## Overview Instructors define date/time windows during which they are available for private lessons. Students book from these windows. Windows carry a lesson length and may be generated as a weekly-recurring series. ## Data Model — `{prefix}us_availability` | Column | Type | Notes | |--------------------|------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------| | `id` | BIGINT UNSIGNED | Primary key | | `instructor_id` | BIGINT UNSIGNED | WordPress user ID | | `offering_id` | BIGINT UNSIGNED | Nullable FK → `us_offerings.id` (private-lesson type) | | `start_dt` | DATETIME | Slot start — stored as `Y-m-d H:i:s` | | `end_dt` | DATETIME | Slot end — stored as `Y-m-d H:i:s` | | `duration_minutes` | SMALLINT | Lesson length the window accommodates (e.g. 30, 60) | | `is_booked` | TINYINT(1) | 0 = available, 1 = booked | | `recurrence_group` | BIGINT UNSIGNED | Nullable — weekly-recurring windows share one group id | | `created_at` | DATETIME | Insertion time | A window's `duration_minutes` is matched against the offering a student picks: a 30-minute private offering can only be booked into a window whose `duration_minutes` accommodates it. ## Weekly-Recurring Windows Instructors may generate a window weekly across a date range. Each occurrence is a separate row sharing one `recurrence_group` id, so a recurring set can be added or removed together while individual occurrences are still booked independently. ## Admin Interface Instructors access **My Availability** in wp-admin (`?page=us-availability`). - Add a slot: provide start/end datetime, duration, and (optionally) a linked private-lesson offering - Add a weekly series: provide the weekday/time plus a date range - Delete a slot: only allowed if `is_booked = 0` ## Public Calendar The front-end booking shortcode renders a month/week calendar of open windows, populated from `GET /availability`. Students can filter by instructor and by offering/duration before selecting a slot to register for. ## REST API | Method | Endpoint | Permission | |----------|-----------------------------------------------|------------------------------------| | `GET` | `/wp-json/us-scheduler/v1/availability` | `book_lesson` | | `POST` | `/wp-json/us-scheduler/v1/availability` | `manage_availability` | | `DELETE` | `/wp-json/us-scheduler/v1/availability/{id}` | `manage_availability` + slot owner | `GET` supports query params: `instructor_id`, `offering_id`, `duration_minutes`, `from` (datetime), `to` (datetime). ## Implementation - Repository: `Unsupervised\Schedular\Availability\AvailabilityRepository` - Model: `Unsupervised\Schedular\Availability\AvailabilitySlot` - Admin controller: `Unsupervised\Schedular\Availability\AvailabilityController` - REST endpoint: `Unsupervised\Schedular\Availability\AvailabilityEndpoint` ## Tests - `tests/Unit/Availability/AvailabilityRepositoryTest.php` - `tests/Unit/Availability/AvailabilitySlotTest.php`
