MembersPage: add search feature

[bartekpacia]

Is your feature request related to a problem?
Currently the searching functionality in the MembersPage doesn't work.

Describe the solution you'd like
Adding the search feature like in the Android app.

A final solution should preferably use BLoC pattern (like the rest of the app). I'm not quite sure how it would look like, so the person who will be doing it: implement it so that it will just work and we will iterate on it & improve.

@anitab-org/mentorship-flutter-maintainers Can i work on this? 😉 :)

[bartekpacia]

good luck:D

[techno-disaster]

Ok lol, i have no idea how to implement this, do we plan to use the /users/{userId} endpoint? or just load all the users first and check for names in the list?

[isabelcosta]

@techno-disaster You can use search query parameter.

@isabelcosta I tried entering the name in the search query field, but kept getting a empty list.I also tried entering the userId in the search field. What am i supposed to put in it?

Have you tried doing it using sth like Postman just to exclude that it's API pitfall?

i tried curl from my command line, I really don't think its a pitfall. The search parameter should have better documentation imo

[techno-disaster]

Were you able go get any output?

I cannot set up backend locally, getting really crazy errors that some native libraries can't be compiled.
Maybe you should create an issue for this in the backend repo?

It's open source 🤹‍♀️ @techno-disaster what should be better in the documentation in your own opinion? Do create an issue if you really feel there is something missing.
@bartekpacia what are the crazy errors?

If we want to get this flutter app working with the backend we have to be comfortable working with the backend and communicating issues we have with it. Otherwise, you will be dependent on other people to deal with backend. I or anyone who already ran the backend can help you both. Have you asked on zulip? (I am falling behind on Zulip messages to be honest)

@isabelcosta I would like to know what exactly do we enter in the search field. An example in the swagger UI would be helpful. Also I am trying to get the backend ready by changing some versions, will ask on zulip if i get stuck again

[isabelcosta]

@techno-disaster its just a string, for example if you want to find a user called "Isabel" the query could be "search": "isa".

I answered on Zulip as well. Could you create an issue on backend to improve documentation about search query parameter?

[techno-disaster]

@isabelcosta tried it, still getting an empty list. can you upload a screenshot with what exactly we have to put in the search box?

[isabelcosta]

What is the "%22" in the search parameter @techno-disaster ?
Remove the " quotes, that should not be there. When removing the quotes that will work

strangely searching isa gives me a output but tech does not. does the search need a page too? like does the search only search on the particular page or whole database? Can you try searching tech

[techno-disaster]

This is what I mean @isabelcosta ,searching isa gives me a result but urs or tech only gives me an empty list

urs

isa
