autocompletion for customers, projects, services, and tags

[quafzi]

In order to provide a faster and better usable interface, we need autocompletion for relations. I'll provide my ideas in Gherkin Language:

Feature: autocompletion for customers, projects, services, and tags
  In order to provide a faster and better usable interface,
  We need autocompletion for relations.

  Scenario: basic autocompletion for customers, projects, services, and tags
    Given I use the magic input box to start an activity,
    When I enter one of the trigger characters (@ for customers, / for projects, : for services, # for tags),
    Then I want to get a drop down with all matching items.

In addition, it would be great to get only projects of a given customer, if I already entered one. If a project is chosen before the customer, the drop down could provide the customer, too.

Example:

  Background:
    Given there is a customer "A" with projects "A1" and "A2"
    And there is a customer "B" with project "B1"

  Scenario: list projects of given customer
    Given the text field contains a customer alias "A"
    When I enter a "/"
    Then the appearing list contains projects "A1" and "A2"
    And the appearing list does not contain project "B1"

  Scenario: add customer to project
    Given the text field does not contain any customer
    When I enter a "/"
    Then the appearing list contains projects "A1 @A", "A2 @A", and "B1 @B"

Some first steps are made in branch "autocompletion".

Remaining steps:

• some refactoring
• maybe stop activity autocompletion
• show only projects of given customers (and vice versa)

[quafzi]

Done:

• no more autocompletion for activities
• better code readability
• suggest customers on project autocompletion

@nogo Please have a look into my branch. I already merged your branch 19-improve-activity-view into mine.

Good start but only the projects are working at my test. Customer and Service doesn't show up.

[nogo]

Btw, you dont have to show project and customer together because customer will be set automatically on project selection.

Oh, great to know, never noticed that :)
