civicideahub's Issues

Create mock utility API services for connecting to Mongo

Create mock utility services for connecting to ElasticSearch and functions to add them as routes in the base express server.

need rest post routes for:
submit new entry
submit like
submit coder like
fetch current entries by keyword, wildcard (*), etc

Expanded Entry view

Add functionality to view detailed view of a card based on being active.

This includes comments.

Add sort and filter options to main page

Add sort and filter options to main page

Create login functions

Need to add passport to the express server and integrate social media (true name) based logins.

Initially login via Oauth from Facebook or Twitter.

Change contributor icon to something else

The < /> icon is confusing.

Idea Status Icon and Sort/Filtering

Each idea needs metadata to capture the current status:

• new
• in progress
• testing
• live
• archived
• hot
• promising

This will be represented as an icon or label.

There's no react skeleton

It would be nice to have a directory structure w/ all the components/store things, whatnot, which contributors could fill in piece by piece (maybe cargo-culting from existing pieces)

Add search bar

Add search bar to main page

featured projects carousel

Top 5 projects "pinned" at top of the page in horizontal carousel

Create form for new idea

Initial Form needs to have at a minimum:

• User Name diplayed loaded from app store (from login) (id used for post)
• Idea title as text input from user
• Description of the problem needing to be addressed as text block input from user
• Description of the solution proposed as text block input from user

This should include validation (all 3 fields being required and likely some minimum length).

This data should be posted to "submitNewEntry" in NewEntry.action.js as an object like:

{
userid:"",
title:"",
problemDescription:"",
solutionIdea:""
}

schema

Is there a listing of the types? Where is the persistence code?

There's an unnecessary on line 19 (We're learning git)

Add click handler to entry cards

The handler should make the card active by id to show detailed view and threaded conversation for the entry.
