Key Features Demonstrated

1. Product Card Layout

col.Item().Row(row =>
{
    void ProductCard(string name, string image, string price, string status) =>
        row.RelativeItem().Margin(8).Border(1, Color.Grey.Lighten2)
            .Padding(10).Column(p =>
            {
                if (File.Exists(image))
                    p.Item().Image(image, 100).AlignCenter();
                
                p.Item().PaddingTop(6).Text(name)
                    .Bold().FontSize(11).FontColor(brand);
                
                p.Item().PaddingTop(4).Text(price)
                    .FontSize(10).FontColor(accent);
                
                p.Item().PaddingTop(2).AlignCenter()
                    .Background(status == "In Stock" ? green : red)
                    .Padding(4)
                    .Text(status).FontSize(8).FontColor(Color.White);
            });

    ProductCard("Product A", "image1.jpg", "$99.99", "In Stock");
    ProductCard("Product B", "image2.jpg", "$149.99", "In Stock");
    ProductCard("Product C", "image3.jpg", "$79.99", "Out of Stock");
});

2. Product Category Section

col.Item().Text("ELECTRONICS").Bold().FontSize(14)
    .FontColor(primary).MarginBottom(8);

col.Item().Row(row =>
{
    // Product cards for electronics category
});

col.Item().PaddingTop(12).Text("HOME & GARDEN").Bold().FontSize(14)
    .FontColor(primary).MarginBottom(8);

col.Item().Row(row =>

    // Product cards for home & garden category
});

3. Product Details Table

col.Item().Table(table =>
{
    table.ColumnsDefinition(c =>
    {
        c.RelativeColumn(2);  // Product name
        c.RelativeColumn(1);  // SKU
        c.RelativeColumn(1);  // Price
        c.RelativeColumn(1);  // Stock
    });

    table.HeaderRow(row =>
    {
        row.Cell().Background(primary).Padding(6)
            .Text("Product").Bold().FontColor(Color.White);
        row.Cell().Background(primary).Padding(6)
            .Text("SKU").Bold().FontColor(Color.White);
        row.Cell().Background(primary).Padding(6)
            .Text("Price").Bold().FontColor(Color.White);
        row.Cell().Background(primary).Padding(6)
            .Text("Stock").Bold().FontColor(Color.White);
    });

    var products = new[]
    {
        ("Premium Headphones", "HP-001", "$199.99", "12"),
        ("Wireless Mouse", "WM-002", "$49.99", "45"),
        ("USB-C Hub", "HUB-003", "$79.99", "8"),
        // ... more products ...
    };

    foreach (var (name, sku, price, stock) in products)
    {
        table.Row(row =>
        {
            row.Cell().Padding(6).Text(name);
            row.Cell().Padding(6).AlignCenter().Text(sku).FontSize(9);
            row.Cell().Padding(6).AlignRight().Text(price);
            row.Cell().Padding(6).AlignCenter().Text(stock);
        });
    }
});
