Speaker pattern

[dromo77]

On the speaking event prototype, there is a pattern similar to Author. It includes the speaker name and title. The Author pattern only supports a name and date field. We could update Author to include an optional text field for titles or we could add a new component.

Thanks, @dromo77!

I like the idea of reusing the Author component if we can. (Though I'm not opposed to creating a new one if we find it makes more sense)

I'm curious about your thoughts on how to handle presentations that have multiple speakers? Unless I'm mistaken, Jason and I will be presenting the first Cloud Four co-presented talk for PWA Summit this year. That means we actually have a use case to design for. 🙂

Here is what co-authors looks like, for reference:

I was trying to imagine what it might look like when there are two titles to account for if a presentation/even is co-presented.

Wanted to share with you before I got too far to make sure I didn't pin ourselves into a corner. I'll think about it a bit more as well. 😉

That's a great question @gerardo-rodriguez! I didn't consider multiple speakers when I created the prototype. There isn't an immediate solution that comes to mind. It seems like we should account for that use case in the design before we start updating or building a new component. I'm wondering if we should create a card for the design work and mark this as blocked until it's complete?

Yeah, nothing obvious comes to me either. 😅

Good idea! Would you like to create a card or would you prefer I do so?

Thanks, @dromo77! 🙂

@gerardo-rodriguez Just created an issue #1493. Going to mark this as blocked until that's done.

Removing the blocked label, there's a prototype of the speaking event page that includes multiple speakers. We landed on including the title for single speakers and dropping the titles when there are multiple speakers.

Single Speaker

Multiple Speakers

@gerardo-rodriguez Is the assignment on this issue correct? (It looks like you self-assigned back in August.)

[gerardo-rodriguez]

@tylersticka Oops, sorry, I never unassigned myself. 😬
