EPIC: Saved Search

[zebdelk]

Summary

As a	Person with login.gov
I want to be able to	save my searches within the app
So that I can	bookmark across browsers

Description

Eventually create a login-based feature that can be expanded and built from in the future. This feature requires no roles, as anyone with a public login is allowed to use it.

Authentication Mechanism

• user api, micronaut, pac4j integration with OpenID client / login.gov api
• check out this tutorial for some guidance on proper SPA security
• follow these examples for:
  • using pac4j in a new framework (micronaut)
  • and using the OpenID Connect protocol supported by login-gov with pac4j

Consider storing our own user states in the following ways:

USER.USERS
id  | createdDate | updatedDate | lastLoginDate | 

Research Tasks

• [x] micronaught / quarkus research
• [x] Spike: ksqlDB
• [x] Gateway api

Database Tasks

• [x] Persistence - backend store for saved searches, favorites, etc #1148
  • [x] PostGreSQL ? (see ideas below)
  • [x] well-defined schema, bootstrap data
  • [x] table that saves userid, name, url, where name is a user-provided label for the saved search and url contains the context (collection vs granules) and query parameters needed to recreate the search

UI Tasks

• [x] UI / wireframes #1185
  • [ ] UI mockups for user landing page, and separate page/sections for:
    • saved searches
    • cart
    • CAS-features (dashboards)
• [ ] make a user /dashboard only allowable to be seen by logged-in users
• [ ] add UI components, reducers, and actions associated with saving searches
• [ ] a star button or similar at the top of searches to save (prompts to log in? only available if logged in?)

Service Tasks

• [x] Add REST endpoint to save searches / remove saved searches (by db id) #1184
  • [x] user service backend (DB) required
  • [x] a way to view saved searches (see mockups for user / saved search page ideas, or via hamburger menu?)
  • [x] a way to delete saved searches

Move this task to security epic -> api gateway pattern

• [x] replace spring security with pac4j OBE

Saved Searches

• First rough-pass could simply save the url (or the JSON serialized filter state which derives it)
• one of these "saved" could be as simple as a row in a PostGreSQL for the login-gov id (not email)

USER.SAVED_SEARCHES (LIMIT per user_id = 100)
id  | user_id       | name             | description?                                        | filter
123   456             "Jurassic Park"    "OneStop Search for Michael-Crichton-related data"  | { JSON }
