Requirements for Class based Filter API
- Author: Daryn Warriner (daryn)
- Status: Draft
- Associated Issues:
Introduction
The codebase for filter api is overly complicated and confusing both from a users perspective and a developers perspective. A class based filter api would:
- Simplify the codebase
- Increase maintainability
- Enable greater filter customization
- Allow a simpler user interface
Implementation Notes
- The default simple filter would be a Google-like single textbox.
- It may include a select list of fields to search.
- Alternatively, administrators may be able to choose lists of fields to search/display for simple/advanced filters
- The current search field searches the summary, description, steps to reproduce, additional information, issue bugnotes, bug id, and bugnote id fields.
- The new search may include those fields as well as text based custom fields, tags, and in the future, expand to other fields.
- Simple stored queries would be converted to advanced queries
- hide status would be removed in favour of explicit show status in advanced query
- Advanced filter would look similar to the current advanced filter with multi select fields
