Interpolation: Missing UI Feedback/Suggestions on Available Phenomena #391

Open hf-kklein opened 3 years ago

hf-kklein commented 3 years ago

This is about the interpolation feature.

Expected Behavior

When typing in the phenomena box I'd expect the website to tell me, which phenomena are available instead of being forced to guess. grafik

Actual Behavior

The user can only guess, what phenomena are actually available. E.g. a German speaking user might search for "Feinstaub" which returns neither an interpolation nor an error message.

grafik The input "Feinstaub" doesn't work but the user get's no feedback.

The user has to already know the exact name of the phenomena (e.g. "PM10") they'd like to use for interpolation but the user has no other chance than to guess.

In some cases, there is an error message, but a very general one which is not helpful to the user: grafik The input "PM" returns an unspecific error message.

Environment

@hf-kklein thanks for opening up. Normally there should be suggestions as you start typing. https://github.com/sensebox/openSenseMap/blob/master/app/views/explore2.sidebar.interpolation.html#L12

Going to investigate.

Any updates on this one? I had the pop-down show once and now I can't get it show again. Tried with different browsers as well.
