Add "current class" filters to left filter bar

[yochannah]

For now this would simply be adding Gene and Protein filters (dependent on the active tab) to left - probably these will work ok all mines!

• This will mean we can allow IN queries if user is authenticated
• Also allow LOOKUP query with multiple identifiers pasted in or a single identifier (autocomplete possible here? Maybe not wise?)

This should be dynamic and not hard coded to Gene and Protein classes. I would suggest fixing this after #8 is implemented.

@yochannah This means to add a new filter to the sidebar where the user can choose Gene, Protein or both? And then remove the buttons on top?

We don't want to remove the buttons on the top. Maybe consider the buttons on the top the view, and the buttons on the left the filters?

@yochannah So if I understand correctly, the idea is to add a new filter that, depending on current view, works e.g. like this:

• If I'm in Proteins view, the user can specify a list in a textbox, and by filtering, the constraint applied is:

{
select: ["Protein.*"],
where: [["genes", "IN", "list from the textbox"]]
}

• If in Genes view, it will be:

{
select: ["Gene.*"],
where: [["genes", "IN", "list from the textbox"]]
}

Or I'm getting it wrong?

[yochannah]

that's exactly it!

We'd also want the user to be able to type a single identifier and run a LOOKUP query, e.g. type "adh" and show the single gene adh in the view, or type "adh, fkh, bsk" and show all three in the view.

I'm not sure if that should be one input or two - whatever's less confusing. A single smart box with typeahead might be nice?

@yochannah This looks like its working 😄
