Donor Lookup and Add Donation at Checkout

[jayrevolinskyjr]

Update: 05/08/2023

Due to the size of the PR linked to this issue. The four remaining subtasks will be striken-through and split into new issues, especially given the capacity of the remaining subtasks to have advanced functionality.

• Search Functionality: Donor Lookup Feature -- Search Functionality #232
• Edit Functionality: Donor Lookup Feature -- Edit Donation Functionality #233
• Scan Functionality: Donor Lookup Feature -- Scanner Functionality #234

Built off of original project requirements.

Construct a feature that returns the number of transactions and quantity of donations that correspond to a given donor.

Frontend

Donor Lookup Page Updates:

• Donor Lookup Page populated by FindDonor(Name/Id) or Function/Query that returns all Donor Names, Emails, Location @ysiddhapura
• 'Add Donor' Button linked to NewDonor(Name). @ysiddhapura
• 'FindDonor(Name/Id)' has checkbox to flip a Bool for setting Anonymous donor with hardcoded values @ysiddhapura
• Add 'Lookup Button' @Anoushka444
  'Lookup Button' linked to FindDonor(Name/Id) @Anoushka444
• 'Donate' button routes to 'Donor View Page' @xl26

Donor View Page:

• Design Donor View Page @xl26
• Populate view with DonorJSON returned by FindDonor(Name/Id) or Function/Query that returns all Donor Names, Emails, Location @xl26
  'Edit' button calls "editDictValue(DonorJSON)" and updates DonorJSON by index. @jayrevolinskyjr
  'Scan' button calls "readScan(DonorJSON, ScanJSON)" to call "SKU Feature Lookup" scan() which returns ScanJSON, then add a new row to Donor View Page. @jayrevolinskyjr
• 'Add Item' button uses "addDictValue(DonorJSON)" to append a new Item with Name and user-specified quantity to DonorJSON. @xl26 @jayrevolinskyjr

Backend

DonorLookup(Name, Id):

• 'NewDonor(Name)' use Sequelize to create a new user in the DB table @Anoushka444 @ysiddhapura
• 'FindDonor(Name/Id)' use Sequelize to SELECT on a Person ID that matches 'Name/Id' and has transaction types = "Donation". (Implemented /lookupDonor endpoint) @parthpandey1
• 'AddDonorItems(Name/Id)' - update DB using Sequelize with updated DonorJSON values by Person Name/Id (Implemented /donate endpoint) @parthpandey1
• 'FindAllDonors' - to list out all users which have atleast one donation. (implemented /donors endpoint) @parthpandey1
• 'Donations/<person_id>' - to return all the 'donation' transactions by a particular donor. This should also return trans_items within a transaction. (implemented /donations/:person_id endpoint) @parthpandey1

This looks like a good start. One more feature I'd like:

• Be able to create a new donor if the query does not yield a match. For example, if the user searches Safeway but that name is not identified as a donor yet, the option should be presented to create a new donor named Safeway

To design, break down into tasks, and then report here to see what's needed (and let people claim)

To everyone else, assign yourself here if you need a feature code PR. We will assign tasks by order of assignee (as break-down permits)

the FindDonor() endpoint sounds more like a person search feature. I am a bit skeptical of using it in context of donor feature as we are basically limiting this function to only find persons with atleast one donation. I feel this endpoint will work better as a general person search feature. As for looking up donors, since we are already sending list of all donors from backend to populate the donor lookup page, I think a more efficient and simpler method would be to implement a frontend filter which can list out matching records based on name or id entered by the end user.

I am planning to create an endpoint which returns matching person records based on person name or id entered by the end user. This endpoint maybe useful in future if we plan on implementing user search functionality on the frontend. Let me know your thoughts on this.

The FindDonor() function can then filter the results from that endpoint to show the donor list, which will be sufficient to get the feature running.
