Week of 5/22 changes

[camdendotlol]

Note

Since Nick is away this week and I have several interconnected tasks, I've decided to make all the changes in one PR. I know it's not the best as far as code review goes, but it's difficult to work across several branches that build upon one another and I know the rebases would be a whole project in themselves.

Summary

• removes the Introduction story from the Storybook folder so EditionCrafter will pop up right away when you npm run storybook

13 - Configurable transcription types

• updates the Navigation component to use the values from the config object when building the transcription type dropdown
• updates the logic in loadFolio to only resolve the folio object when all transcription types are loaded
  • Because the folio object is being mutated within that function and not being used in e.g. a Redux store or a component's state, the components don't know to re-render when a new transcription type finishes loading. This caused crashes when attempting to switch between types in the viewer. With this change, I've made it watch for all the types to load using a tracker object, and only resolve when they've all finished - the component can then rely on having all the data for all the transcription types. In the long run, it would be a lot better to refactor loadFolio so it writes to a Redux state, so any components that connect to it automatically re-render. But this issue is fixed for now!
• adds a couple null checks to TranscriptionView to handle when a folio doesn't have a given transcription

15 - Inline figures

• updates the htmlToReactParserOptions to handle figure elements from the TEI

This assumes a structure of:

<figure>
    <graphic url="/cats/hungry.png" />
    <figDesc>I'm a description!</figDesc>
</figure>

The figDesc is optional, but if it exists the function will add an alt tag and a figCaption HTML element containing the text.

14 - Moving comments from JSON file to TEI

• updates TranscriptionView to display the EditorComment popup when a tei-note element is encountered
• removes everything related to the old comments.json technique, including the Redux state stuff and loading logic

Note

The note contents are still parsed as HTML using html-react-parser. It may be desirable to simplify this to a simple string display, but I didn't want to assume anything.

16 - Glossary file in manifest

• updates the state management and saga logic to use the glossary URL from the manifest, instead of the one passed in via the config object

The changes on the CLI side at https://github.com/cu-mkp/editioncrafter-cli/pull/11 are more substantial and more likely to require changes.

This is great - I tried out #13 with some test data and that worked great for me. On #16, I was hitting an error here switching pages. It was blocking me, so I fixed it with this modification:

function* resolveGlossary(manifest) {
  const glossary = yield select(justGlossary);
  if (!glossary.loaded) {
    if (
      !manifest?.seeAlso
      || manifest.seeAlso.length === 0
      || !manifest.seeAlso[0].id
    ) {
      throw new Error('Missing glossary link in seeAlso array.');
    }

    const glossaryURL = manifest.seeAlso[0].id;  
    const response = yield axios.get(glossaryURL);
    yield putResolveAction('GlossaryActions.loadGlossary', response.data);
  }
}

If this looks good, please include it in your PR, I didn't check it in on my end. Also, I think it will be necessary to make the glossary an optional thing, not every project will have one. This is probably a seperate issue/feature.

I haven't looked at #14 and #15 yet but will feedback here when I do.

Hi @camdendotlol I looked at this for a bit, it would be a lot easier for me to test if you could patch in the code for the glossary, makes stuff on my branch of editioncrafter-cli work beter.

@NickLaiacona Just seeing this now - I'll set a reminder to do it first thing Monday.

@NickLaiacona Done.
