John Cowen	32a619ae99	ui: Add tab navigation to the browser history/URLs (#7592) ... * ui: Add tab navigation to the browser history/URLs This commit changes all our tabbed UI interfaces in the catalog to use actual URL changes rather than only updating the content in the page using CSS. Originally we had decided not to add tab clicks into the browser history for a variety of reasons. As the UI has progressed these tabs are a fairly common pattern we are using and as the UI grows and stabilizes around certain UX patterns we've decided to make these tabs 'URL changing'. Pros: - Deeplinking - Potentially smaller Route files with a more concentrated scope of the contents of a tab rather than the entire page. - Tab clicks now go into your history meaning backwards and forwards buttons take you through the tabs not just the pages. - The majority of our partials are now fully fledged templates (Octane 🎉) Cons: - Tab clicks now go into your history meaning backwards and forwards buttons take you through the tabs not just the pages. (Could be good and bad from a UX perspective) - Many more Route and Controller files (yet as mentioned above each of these have a more reduced scope) - Moving around the contents of these tabs, or changing the visual names of them means updates to the URL structure, which then should potentially entail redirects, therefore what things that seem like straightforwards design reorganizations are now a little more impactful. It was getting to the point that the Pros outweight the Cons Apart from moving some files around we made a few more tiny tweaks to get this all working: - Our freetext-filter component now performs the initial search rather than this happening in the Controller (remove of the search method in the Controllers and the new didInsertElement hook in the component) - All of the <TabNav>'s were changed to use its alternative href approach. - <TabPanel>s usage was mostly removed. This is th thing I dislike the most. I think this needs removing, but I'd also like to remove the HTML it creates. You'll see that every new page is wrappe din the HTML for the old <TabPanel>, this is to continue to use the same HTML structure and id's as before to avoid making further changes to any CSS that might use this and being able to target things during testing. We could have also removed these here, but it would have meant a much larger changeset and can just as easily be done at a later date. - We made a new `tabgroup` page-object component, which is almost identical to the previous `radiogroup` one and injected that instead where needed during testing. * Make sure we pick up indexed routes when nspaces are enabled * Move session invalidation to the child (session) route * Revert back to not using didInsertElement for updating the searching This adds a way for the searchable to remember the last search result instead, which changes less and stick to the previous method of searching.	5 years ago

John Cowen	eeb7a858e2	ui: Search improvements (#5540) ... * ui: Replaces Service listing filterbar with a phrase-editor search (#5507) 1. New phrase-editor restricting search to whole phrases (acts on enter key). Allows removal of previously entered phrases 2. Searching now allows arrays of terms, multiple terms work via AND	6 years ago
John Cowen	65ef2969c7	ui: Async Search (#4859) ... This does several things to make improving the search experience easier moving forwards: 1. Separate searching off from filtering. 'Searching' can be thought of as specifically 'text searching' whilst filtering is more of a boolean/flag search. 2. Decouple the actual searching functionality to almost pure, isolated / unit testable units and unit test. (I still import embers get which, once I upgrade to 3.5, I shouldn't need) 3. Searching rules are now configurable from the outside, i.e. not wrapped in Controllers or Components. 4. General searching itself now can use an asynchronous approach based on events. This prepares for future possibilities of handing off the searching to a web worker or elsewhere, which should aid in large scale searching and prepares the way for other searching methods. 5. Adds the possibility of have multiple searches in one template/route/page. Additionally, this adds a WithSearching mixin to aid linking the searching to ember in an ember-like way in a single place. Plus a WithListeners mixin to aid with cleaning up of event listeners on Controller/Component destruction. Post-initial work I slightly changed the API of create listeners: Returning the handler from a `remover` means you can re-add it again if you want to, this avoids having to save a reference to the handler elsewhere to do the same. The `remove` method itself now returns an array of handlers, again you might want to use these again or something, and its also more useful then just returning an empty array. The more I look at this the more I doubt that you'll ever use `remove` to remove individual handlers, you may aswell just use the `remover` returned from add. I've added some comments to reflect this, but they'll likely be removed once I'm absolutely sure of this. I also added some comments for WithSearching to explain possible further work re: moving `searchParams` so it can be `hung` off the controller object	6 years ago
