[some node / js experience required] Save user's preferred export format in localstorage or cookie #36

Open alexkalderimis opened 11 years ago

alexkalderimis commented 11 years ago

Under the assumption that users typically want data in a consistent format, we should offer to save the current user's export format for future sessions, if possible.

This is an old issue but still relevant - contributors very welcome.

I suspect the method we need to update is here: https://github.com/intermine/im-tables/blob/dev/src/views/export-dialogue.js#L129

This should save a preferred export format to localstorage or a cookie.

A demo of the export dialogue in use is available here - http://www.flymine.org/flymine/bagDetails.do?scope=all&bagName=esyN+demo+list (look for the export button)

@yochannah, in contributing.md it says that I should use Coffee.js whose syntax I'm not familiar with. Can I work on the same using javascript or do you have any ideas of how one can pick up the syntax faster?
