Add Clear

Today is another great day because i get to work on the productivity page!

I have worked with this before but I need to learn more about how dropdowns work, and that is what I will be doing.

Besides what I mentioned I need to work on fitting the sandbox design to the actual page.

Design

From what I have heard, it is probably best to begin on this first. So that any changes made after you fit the design, will not change the design.

It would be a mistake to complete the functionality and have to go back so it fit the new look.

Well, I tried to fit the new design and I got stuck.

Adding Funtionality

Now I had to add the Clear button. For memberss there is an All Members checkbox at the top, this toggles between all members and none.

However, there needs to be a clear and baby blue button to highlight these wonderful capabilities. Implementing this was not so back.
The tests were ok themselves.

Now I had to do this for our labels. But fight I had to make a checkbox similar to All Members but as All Labels, this way this new checkbox behaves the same way.

Also I can’t add a Clear if I don’t have an All checkbox.

Problems

What I did above was relatively simple but it did take some time to implement, test, and refactor.

However I began looking into what needs to be done next. Which is add a new checkbox that has interesting funcitonality.

This checkbox is Unlabelled Stories. This contains completed stories that have no labels. This does not fall under All Labels because it has none.

Now this new checkbox should provide those stories along with the previous capabilites of playing with the other labels.

This will be a post for tomorrow.

Until then…

Best,
