EPIC: Future Features (Stretch Epic)

[rpf13]

As a Developer I can define future features and improvements so that the app has the option to grow and getting better

Potential User Stories

• Add the possibility to have multiple images per item and display it via a carousel
• Use Social Accounts (Google, Facebook, ...) as part of AllAuth to sign into the app
• Implement an API to have a web picture search available directly in the image field of the collections / items section
• Build a feature to share a collection via mail (and possible other ways) with limited rights for the viewer
• Add the possibility for a shared collection to enable collaboration by the "the others" (very low prio)
• Add a feature for the image section of the collection / item level, that a user can take an image directly from his smart phone, once logged in and creating a new item
• Implement a feature to tag, label individual items
• Enhance the search to a dynamic live search. Will require JS and further modifications.
• User can update his profile - enhance the profile icon in the navbar with functionality that the user can update, delete his own profile.
• For paginated collections, display the page number of paginated pages, instead of only prev / next
• Advanced server & client side image file verification for uploading an image

I had to step back from the idea of having multiple images per item, since this has increased the level of complexity for the whole project quite a lot. Since I have to deliver MVP, I will let this feature for future implementation. I had to adapt the db model to reflect this. Here the original models.py file, which will be used once this feature will be implemented....creating a Image class:

# Class to create a new item in a collection
class Item(models.Model):
    item_id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
    item_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    collection_id = models.ForeignKey(Collection, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    reference = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    description = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    details = models.TextField()
    added_on = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

    class Meta:
        ordering = ["-added_on"]

    def __str__(self):
        return self.item_name

# Class to add image to an item
class Image(models.Model):
    image_id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
    item_id = models.ForeignKey(Item, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    image = CloudinaryField('image', default='placeholder')
