My Bench: Conditional Rendering

[ae-andre]

Primary changes

• Added conditional rendering for the My Bench page
  • My Bench will display 'conversationCard' if a conversation already exists
  • Cards.jsx includes logic to dynamically render 'conversationCards' if we can support a user having multiple conversations at once (incl. conversation history)
  • In the same vein, a card is presented to the user to start a new conversation on the My Bench place as a static element

• I set up this logic to conditionally render either the Cards OR the ConversationsForm, but it might be worth rethinking the flow since we can use the Start New Convo card instead:

• For above, I'd recommend a new page for the start new convo form

---

Minor details / Notes

• Added logic to limit characters shown on cards
• Once the matching logic works, the Cards.jsx can be adjusted to display the buddy's name
• BUG: From /my-bench, the logout button does not redirect away from my-bench, so it causes an error saying the validation token is invalid:

I set up this logic to conditionally render either the Cards OR the ConversationsForm, but it might be worth rethinking the flow since we can use the Start New Convo card instead:

@ae-andre I am guessing this means that the current flow is:

-> Yes conversation will render the cards components including the + a new conversation & the current convo -> No conversation will render the conversation form
