Non-EB Claims Module — Session 5

---

1. Asset File Upload — createClaim() API Endpoint

Replaced the silent handleAssetFileUpload() call with inline validation to give proper API error responses.

Problems fixed:

• Invalid file extension was silently ignored — claim was created without the file, no error returned
• Upload failure had no error response
• Success response had no asset_file field

Changes in app/Controllers/Api/NonEbClaimApiController.php:

• Reads asset_file from request directly
• Returns 415 with allowed types listed if extension is not in UPLOAD_EXT_ASSET_FILES (pdf, xls, xlsx, csv)
• Returns 400 if loss_description is missing when file is provided
• Returns 500 if file_Upload() fails
• Success response now includes "asset_file": "filename.pdf" (or null if none sent)
• asset_file is optional — omitting it creates the claim normally

How to call:

POST /api/v1/non-eb-claim/create
Content-Type: multipart/form-data
Authorization: Bearer <token>

client_policy_id, nature_of_loss, loss_location, loss_date, [asset_file]

2. Sidebar — Claims Menu Restructured

app/Views/layout/header.php

Before	After
New claim	New EB Claim
Non EB Claims	EB Claim List
Claim List	New Non EB Claim
(nothing)	Non EB Claim List

Final menu order:

1. New EB Claim → openTicketTypeAskModal()
2. EB Claim List → /ticket/list
3. New Non EB Claim → /non-eb-claim/new
4. Non EB Claim List → /non-eb-claim/list

---

3. New Non-EB Claim — Route Added

app/Config/Routes.php

• Added GET non-eb-claim/new → NonEbClaimController::claimForm/50 (bare route, policy type hardcoded to 50 temporarily)
• Existing new/(:any) route preserved for dynamic use

---

4. Non-EB List Page — Add Button Bypasses Policy Type Modal

app/Views/non_eb_claim_search.php

• #policyTypeModal HTML commented out
• goToNewClaim() JS function commented out

app/Views/non_eb_claim_list.php

• Add button action changed from openPolicyTypeModal() → window.location.href = base_url('non-eb-claim/new/50')
• openPolicyTypeModal() JS function commented out

---

5. New Non-EB Claim Form — Nhance Logo Loader on Client Select

app/Views/non_eb_claim_form.php

• Shows global nhance gif loader (.loader / .loader-mask) when client is selected and AJAX fires to fetch branches/policies
• Hides loader on AJAX success and on AJAX error (so loader never gets stuck)

---

6. New API Endpoints — Policies List & Claim Statuses

app/Controllers/Api/NonEbClaimApiController.php — 2 new methods added

GET /api/v1/non-eb-claim/statuses

• Returns all ticket_claim_status rows where ticket_type = 50 (Non-EB, hardcoded) and is_active = 1
• Returns: id, claim_status, display_name
• No request body required

POST /api/v1/non-eb-claim/policies

• Accepts: client_id (MD5 hash, required), client_branch_id (integer, required)
• Validates MD5 format — returns 400 if not a 32-char hex string
• Queries client_policy using MD5(cp.client_id) for secure lookup
• Filters: client_branch_id, is_active = 1, policy_type.allocg IN ('Non-EB', 'Marine')
• Returns: id, policy_no, policy_type_id, policy_type_name, insurer_id, insurer_name, insurer_short_name, policy_start_date, policy_end_date

app/Config/Routes.php — 2 new routes added inside api/v1/non-eb-claim group:

GET  api/v1/non-eb-claim/statuses   → listClaimStatuses
POST api/v1/non-eb-claim/policies   → listPolicies
