A feature is needed to include staged users in the user-chooser component’s dropdown results. fzngagan proposes adding an includeStagedUsers parameter, defaulting to false, to achieve this. The idea is met with neutrality from joffreyjaffeux, who seeks input from zogstrip. After further discussion, fzngagan emphasizes the need for extensibility in this part of the codebase. A PR (#4) is created and eventually merged (fzngagan).
One of our clients needs a feature which involved being able to select a user via a dropdown which should include staged users.
I’ve checked the codebase and the component uses userSearch library method to make the API call to the server. Currently, there’s no way in there to pass additional params.
Moreover, the rails controller action search_users doesn’t have any mechanism to accept additional parameters.
I’m thinking to make a PR, that would allow passing a param includeStagedUsers which would default to false to the user-chooser component which would allow listing staged users in the dropdown. Thoughts @j.jaffeux ?
some more thoughts:
The key thing here is, this part of the codebase is not extensible. It would also help if you could suggest a spec to make it extensible. I would be happy to make a PR around those lines then.
