Sharing Entries

[mbahgatTech]

Changes

• Implemented a share button on saved entries that sends an entry to a different user.
• Color coded saved entries to separate valid, invalid and saved entries.
• Added receiving functionality of shared entries.

Problems

• Deleting a shared entry from the user's account is currently not possible.
• Sharing images between devices is not possible

Updates

• 570182a implements shared entry deletion functionality.

Need to add frontend feedback that the entry has been deleted. This can be done by:

1. Refetching the user data from the server upon deletion (Slow but gets the most updated list of entries)

   OR

2. Editing the user context data by filtering out the entry from the sharedEntries list on success of the request.

Likely solution is the second one due to its speed. Solution 1 is also less preferable due to the confusion it might present by adding any new shared entries found in the user's document in the database that weren't updated in the frontend (due to extended sessions). That would make the user think that pressing the delete button actually added entries for some reason while in reality it actually deleted the entry but received new entries as a side effect of refetching the user context.

Should also add a periodic refetch of user context data from the database that would then update the entries if any were sent since the last fetch.

PR Notes

• Resolved #31. Did not implement user sessions yet, not sure if this will be worked on at all but will keep issue open until further activity.
• Resolved #33
• Partially resolved #32, sharing of data entries works fine between accounts but sharing images between devices isn't supported yet. Will keep issue open until fixed.
• Resolved #30, fetching the location is a lot faster now. Accuracy is not consistently sub 10m still, not sure how to fix that. Closing that issue for now until further activity.
