Folders #52

Open holtwick opened 5 years ago

Requirements:

Hierarchical grouping element: "Folder".
A document can be referenced by multiple folders.
Optional: Sub folders are ordered

Implementation Idea 1:

Any folder has a parent or null
Without parent or valid parent the folder becomes top-level.
Problems: Break circular references; no custom ordering

Implementation Idea 2:

Any folder has an ordered list of sub folders
Problems: Avoid multiple references; circular references.

Implementation Idea 3:

Any folder has an ordered list of all its predecessors: a/b/c
If any of those is missing it becomes top-level
Problem: All sub folders need to be touched as well

Decision

Folders point to their parent
No custom ordering (instead alphabetical etc.)
Folders with missing parent folder are shown on top-level
An item can only refer to one folder

Are folders really required? Notes and relations could provide the ordering, see notion.so
