Renew all from the patron profile

[jma]

It would be great that the patron can be renew all the current loaned items at once.

Describe the solution you'd like

In the public view, patron account, loans tab:

• Add a button "Renew all", on the right of the table header, same as in the pro UI.
  • This button renews ALL loans of this patron in the current organisation (where possible). Not only the current page.
  • A modal with a spinner notify that work is in progress (as suggested by @zannkukai
  • The renewal successes and errors are displayed inside the modal

Note: suggested by a patron (F. M.)

@pronguen The "loan" tab of patron profile use a paginator to limit loans number. Are you agree if the "renew all" button only apply on loans of the current page ? If not, it will be very difficult/time consuming to display or hide the button because we need to check all loans from all pages (despite the paginator, we need to load all loans everytime).

Maybe we need to discuss about that during a daily meeting or a PO metting

@zannkukai I think the user expect, when clicking on "Renew all", that all loans are renewed. Would it be easier to always enable the button and to give a feedback after the action? Ex: "3 loans have been renewed, 6 loans couldn't be renewed."

@pronguen I had some discussion about this issue with @jma and @Garfield-fr. It seems important to have more informations about the whished behavior. Depending of the behavior, we could choose a way to code this feature. It seems this feature could be an US candidate.

Now, we can imagine some behavior :

• add a checkbox in front of each loan + a button "renew selection". User must extends loans list to select which loan to extend.
• add a button "renew all" --> open a modal with a spinner (to notify that work is in progress) + display of renew error into this modal. Could be slow if user has a lot of loan (300+) because it will send 300+ "renewOne" command.
• call a single "renewAll" endpoint backend URL returning streaming data : for each loan, return the renew status a a streaming data. UI can display the renew status (filtered on error or not). This will be a little bit tricky in Angular.

Maybe it should be discussed in next PO meeting ?

@zannkukai After discussion with PO group, we think this solution (above) is the best. Indeed, the patrons with a lot of loans are exceptions, and usually, they won't need to renew all loan in a batch. Here, renewal should work well with up to 20 loans, last a bit with 20-40 loans, and with more... this is the exception.
