Try autocomplete fields in the data table columns #75

Closed felipealbrecht closed 8 years ago

Try to use an autocomplete component in the input box of the data tables.

Important: Verify if the data table changes after changing the input data. Bonus: Only reload the data table after the user press

I did this for only the experiment datatable. I don't think it's necessary for the other datatable unless you say so.

Also, i implemented for only columns: Genome, Epigenetic marks, Projects, Techniques.

There are some UI bugs that may be introduced with the autocomplete dialog hanging differently if the UI dialog is open and the table columns resizes. Am considering using fixed column width for the table.

Please, do also for the BioSources column in the samples data table.

Please, implement also for the column BioSources in the experiments ID.

About the resize problems: is it possible to define a percentage of the data table width rather than a fixed column width? Using fixed column width is a very bad idea. We have users that access from low resolution screens (phone, tablets) to users that access from desktops.

Resize problem still remains even after usign percentages for the column and other ideas. The problem is once the content in the column becomes bigger, it resizes to fit the content even with autowidth set to false.

I didnt see the problem with resizing, may you explain me how it does affect ?

felipealbrecht commented 8 years ago

Overall, it seems very good.

Small points:

May you only exhibit the top 20 values?
The column type has not auto complete (peaks and signal)
How hard is to use the faceting_experiments command? I use it in the Dive page.

edeas123 commented 8 years ago

Should i hard code values of the column types?

felipealbrecht commented 8 years ago

No, I honestly do not remember by heart, but I think that in the list_in_use.php we call the faceting_experiments command, this command returns the experiments types being used.

Pay attention that you will get three values: "signal", "peaks", and "". The empty one is a bug that I am already working on. Dont do any special treatment for the empty value, but dont worry when you see it. It must be ~8 experiments in this case and they will be removed asap.

Please, ask me if you still have question.
