Help Requests, Gifting

Overview

Complete the functionality for students to ask for help on a task, teachers to respond to those help requests, and students to send money gifts to one another

Frontend

• Help requests:
  • Student View: Add to task modal a text field + button for asking for help (Student View Main Page frame on Figma)
  • Teacher View: Add tab structure to Requests page and populate the Help Requests page with students' help requests
  • Display: name of task, task description, user name, user email, request information
• Gifting:
  • Student View: To player modal in class page, add an option to gift that player an amount (int) of the current player's money
  • Teacher View: Add to settings page an option to enable/disable player gifting

Backend

• Help requests:
  • Upon student asking for help, update the helpRequests collection accordingly
  • We are prepopulating the help request with task name and description instead of just the task ID, because that will save us a Firestore query when displaying
  • The request field should be whatever the student enters into the text field
  • Upon teacher responding, remove the corresponding entry from helpRequests and update student's messages with the response
  • Access the player's messages using the user field in the help request
  • Message can be something like: "For {taskName}, {teacherName} says: {teacherResponse}"
• Gifting:
  • Students:
  • Conditionally display gifting UI based on doGifting boolean from database
  • Upon gift, update player balances accordingly
  • Make sure to check that the current player can afford it
  • Do field validation to make sure it's an int
  • Teachers:
  • Upon settings toggle, update doGifting boolean in database
