fix(assign-doctor): show live pending queue counts per doctor (!347) · Merge requests · HealthTech / Medical Camp / eHRS-Frontend

Swarna rathna madhuri Kanda requested to merge active-consultation-count into develop Apr 04, 2026

This MR fixes an issue where the number of patients assigned to each doctor was not visible in the UI after assignment, even though the backend was returning the correct data.

It also includes test cases to validate that the pending queue count is correctly displayed and updated.

What does this MR do and why?

Previously, after assigning patients to doctors, the UI did not reflect the updated count of assigned patients. Although the backend response included the correct pending queue count, it was not being rendered in the doctor component.

The motivation behind this change is to ensure accurate, real-time visibility of doctor workloads and improve reliability through test coverage.

This MR updates the frontend logic and adds test cases to ensure the issue does not reoccur.

Changes Made

Updated API response mapping to UI state
Ensured proper re-render after assignment
Added test cases for pending queue count functionality
