[Feature] Dashboard filter indicators #7908

graceguo-supercat · 2019-07-21T23:36:00Z

SUMMARY

Show indicator on each chart which filter can apply and what filter values are applied
Allow user navigate from chart to any of its applicable filter.

Implementation

Refactor filters in redux state.

Before this PR, filters state is a sub-state in dashboardstate:

dashboard redux state:

{
    datasources,
    sliceEntities,
    charts,
    dashboardInfo,
    dashboardState: {
      ...
      filters: {
        124: {
           __time_range: 'Last quarter',
        },
        131: {
           gender: ['boy', 'girl'],
        }
      }
      ...
    },
    dashboardLayout,
    messageToasts: [],
    impressionId: shortid.generate(),
}

In order to support UI features and in-dashboard navigation functionality, I move dashboardFilter up to be root-level state in redux store, and it will contain more props about filter value and its layout information:

dashboard redux state:

{
    datasources,
    sliceEntities,
    charts,
    dashboardInfo,
    dashboardState,
    dashboardFilters: {
      124: {
        chartId: 124,
        componentId: "CHART-CHTxAXRuJW",
        directPathToFilter: [
          'ROOT_ID',
          'TABS-VPEX_c476g',
          'TAB-1bnpXJkoS8',
          'ROW-qc1WPC4bOn',
          'CHART-CHTxAXRuJW'
        ],
        scope: "ROOT_ID",
        isDateFilter: true,
        isInstantFilter: true,
        columns: {
          __time_range(pin): "Last quarter",
        }
      },
      131: {
        ...
      }
    },
    dashboardLayout,
    messageToasts: [],
    impressionId: shortid.generate(),
}

Because filters prop is used by a lot of components in dashboard, I added a converter utility function buildActiveFilters, which converts raw dashboardFilters state into old filters format so that other components can still use filters as before, and won't be affected by this big state change.

buildActiveFilters function will be triggered whenever dashboardFilters state is changed, and the converted results will be cached. All other components in dashboard will call getActiveFilters to get the cached filters state, and they don't need to run the converter function again and again.

Color assignment

In this PR we introduced a new color palette for dashboard filters.

Each filter field is assigned a unique colorKey: chartId_filter_column_name. This colorKey is used by bother filter badge and filter indicator. Dashboard will pick a color from filter color palette based on colorKey and build a color map. During render time, each filter and indicators in the chart will lookup color code based on its colorKey. Similar to buildActiveFilters function, dashboardFilter state update will trigger re-build color map.

In-dashboard navigation

Suppose A is root, B,C,D are top level tabs, F, G are charts under tabs, H is nested tab, M is chart under nested tab. For example, when user lands on M, how to navigate user to a filter component in another root level tab B?

Dashboard stores layout data in flattened tree structure: each parent node contains ids of its children, and every UI component (chart, header, row, column, tabs, etc) keeps all the parent component ids from root to itself (see #6945):

  'CHART-PuHBPak5nl': {
    children: [],
    id: 'CHART-PuHBPak5nl',
    meta: {
      chartId: 146,
      height: 50,
      sliceName: 'Chart B2',
      width: 4
    },
    parents: [
      'ROOT_ID',
      'TABS-nGgMw9Fmmj',
      'TAB-YWfqbvBaqp',
      'TABS-cGWCi1V-mr',
      'TAB-CZxYwmgZZ',
      'ROW-iC9LI5XSxU'
    ],
    type: 'CHART'
  }

From this parents list it's very easy to find out to select which root tab or nested tab to a specific filter. dashboardState has a directPathToChild prop, which is the current state of dashboard, holding a path to one of the chart (or any UI component). When user clicks on a filter indicator, dashboard will update its directPathToChild to be target filter's path. Then dashboard will render the correct list of parent tab/tabs, and display filter chart.

Filter indicators UI components
- Container component: /dashboard/container/FilterIndicators.jsx
- /dashboard/components/FilterIndicatorsContainer.jsx: indicators organizer for each chart. Usually one chart will be applicable for one or more filters, but user can set dashboard metadata that a chart might be immune to all filters in the dashboard, or some filter fields. We only display indicators for applicable filters. The logic to show/group/hide applicable filters for each chart is here.
- /dashboard/components/FilterIndicator.jsx and /dashboard/components/FilterIndicatorGroup.jsx: little colored indicator component for each filter, if chart having > 5 filters, will group them into a group.

/dashboard/components/FilterTooltipWrapper.jsx: the basic usage of react-bootstrap Tooltip components are not enough for our need. We allow user to click on tooltip (especially needed for indicator group) to navigate to actual filter chart. So I added customized wrapper component to trigger/hide Overlay with some delay.
/dashboard/components/FilterIndicatorTooltip.jsx: tooltip component for filter. it shows column name and selected values.

If the filter is applicable but not applied, we will show **Not filtered**. If the filter is not applicable to the chart, we will not show indicator.

SCREENSHOTS OR ANIMATED GIF

Page landing:

each filter field is assigned a badge with unique color.

Interact with filter indicator

Hover on chart, you will see filter indicators popping out. The color bar in the filter indicator matched with filter's badge color.
Hover on filter indicator, it will show filter's name and selected value(s), as filter tooltip.
We show at most 5 filter indicators for each chart. For charts that having more filters, its indicators will be grouped in the last spot.
For immune chart, it doesn't have any filter indicator.
For chart with immune fields, we only show indicators for applicable fields.

Navigate from chart to filter

When user clicks on one of filter indicator, or click on pencil icon in the filter tooltip, page will navigate to the chart, even cross tabs.
The selected filter chart will be highlighted with green border.
If the chart has more than 1 field, the user selected field will be highlighted.

TEST PLAN

CI and manual test.

should this be wrapped in t()?

we don't translate values in map. the UI component which uses this map will translate the needed value.

thanks. i added this instance method before, because I had difficulty to add unit test, which needs to mock window.location.hash. now i found a better solution here.

is a z index absolutely needed here? Have we ensured that 10 is appropriate compared to all other possible z indexes?

be honest, i don't know how to make ensured 10 is appropriate. Just by manual test.
