Frontend: Email/messaging

[aidenhuynh]

Objective

The objective of this final week/sprint is to pull together and make sure that OUR INBOX WORKS. Our feature is basically an inbox that will allow students to send mail to certain people and students. It is basically just like Canvas inbox and it allows students and teachers, or even students and students to contact each other.

Currently, the inbox feature works, and the inbox uses GET and POST methods to make letters. The next step for this is to create more functionality for it and make it more similar to an actual inbox. This can only be hard-coded in once the actual SASS is complete for this page. Refer to wireframes

Another thing that will have to be hard-coded is sending messages to actual users such as [email protected] to [email protected], which does work right now, but will have to be implemented

Tasks

• Copy the wireframes provided and actually make the SASS Files
• Replace ID tag with the date it was sent

Next Steps

Make the Perfect Best Ideal Paramount Unsurpassed Ultimate Utmost Optimum Epitome of Peaks of Pinnacles of all CSA SASS Lessons which has somewhat been started. The whole group's idea is to make a video series that is similar to Khan Academy but is entirely for SASS Lessons. Given that most of the students in our group are Seniors, we have a deadline of 05/31, so it might not be enough time to make assignments, but should be enough to make a video series.

Our partnership has been working on this as a side project on a branch called SASSy. We are basing it off of this website

Tasks for this:.

• Make the SASS for the SASS video series
• Implement the video series code
• Refer to issue SASS Lessons #87 for the Group Tasks
• Make the padding for the video when it is opened
• Make script for duration of video watched

Requirements:

• A working inbox that fits with the theme of Del Norte nighthawkcoders
• A SASS video series that future CSSE/CSP/CSA students will find useful to watch and help them implement into their projects
• An improved site search function that previews blogs within the page
• Implement Wireframes into the projects

Cool! I recommend you focus on functionality for now, and instead of username just test with user ids. Ideally we have that be a dropdown menu of available people to message for convenience (like Canvas).

I'm also gonna do some redesigning of that wireframe so don't go too hard on frontend for now
