Notify user when trying to create a lesson with no notes

[jrobind]

Currently, a user is prevented from creating a lesson that contains no text. Even though the validation logic is correct there isn't a message or visual cue to inform the user the lesson creation has failed.

I think, there's different approaches for this:

• Notify the user via pop-up
• Modify the text within the fields: "Can't add empty lessons."
• Add some different style to the empty field, so the user notices. Maybe change the border.

Maybe, the better option is the less invasive for the user.

What do you think?

I think at a minimum we should at least change the border colour. The native HTML input validation renders a tooltip when trying to submit without a lesson title like so:

I think changing the border colour is something we should definitely do – maybe adding a tooltip/pop-up is a nice-to-have. You could take that on if you wanted to? Or maybe add the border colour for validation for this issue and tackle a tooltip/pop-up in another, follow-up issue ?

[edXmO]

Yes, I'll give it a go. I'll first focus on adding the border colour in the respective use cases and then maybe address the tooltip/pop-up.

Take a look at #113. That's a good one to start with. If you want I can assign you to it?

Looks good for me. I finally have the opportunity to tackle SASS/SCSS
