This reduces the ambiguity of ‘now’ vs ‘today’, and keeping the word
‘later’ suggests what this features is about.
This implementation here is a bit hacky, but it works…
The options for scheduling a job by time should be grouped by day,
because a long list of 96 options is not very usable.
On the server side, this commit generates label for the next 4 days in
a friendly format (ie today/tomorrow/Sunday/Monday)
The Javascript component for choosing a time was built in a kind of
old-school jQuery way, where it manipulated the elements on the page.
The complexity of introducing groups of options was just too much for
this pattern, because it involves storing a lot of state in the DOM.
This commit completely rewrites the JS to:
- read the initial options and groups from the HTML and store them
in the object
- use Hogan to completely re-render the UI from a series of Mustache
templates, each of which represents a state of the UI and takes the
inital options and groups
- filter the choices to show when the today/tomorrow/… buttons are
clicked
Users need to pick a time in the next 24hrs, or send a file immediately.
Rationale for this is a bit lost in time-before-holiday, but generally:
‘Now’ and ‘later’ as the inital choices makes it really clear what
this feature is about conceptually.
The choice of times is absolute, eg ‘1pm’ not ‘in 3 hours’
