Enhancement: Autocomplete functionality when setting reminders #107

mcdougs commented 7 years ago

As a high school student setting a reminder on the YadaGuru app, I want the school and submit date fields to autocomplete, so that I can set my reminders consistently, accurately, and quickly.

Acceptance criteria:

  1. The school field begins autocomplete showing the options for possible schools to apply to
  2. If the autocomplete selection does not exist in the database, then a student can finish writing in the school name
  3. If a school name is recognized from the autocomplete field, the date field dynamically updates to reflect the due date stated by the school

love this idea. I think school name is fairly easy, just a list of names in a db somewhere. This is the ultimate idea actually - to be able to fill in a lot of the information directly from the school data.

Connecting the school name with the due date gets more complicated as there are different dates for schools (think Temple School of Art or Nursing vs Temple Undergrad) and different dates for rolling, early admissions.

For doing parts 1/2, we could probably leverage gov data of accredited colleges - http://academia.stackexchange.com/questions/18971/downloadable-list-of-all-accredited-u-s-colleges . Part 3 would probably split to a second issue if we touch it at all - the open data just probably doesn't exist out there.
