jordi fita mas ee2ed598a3 Fix invoice’s colspan for the empty index table’s row 2023-05-14 18:47:16 +02:00
jordi fita mas a06bc3df58 Use slugs too to select invoice products without JavaScript
The product search returns a list of products using its slug as the
“external key”, because i do not want people seeing the id in links,
and the search product list is just a different rendering of the product
index table.

However, now i had two almost identical select queries for product,
one using the product_id and the other its slug, the former intended for
the form to select products using checkboxes—the one non-JavaScript
users see—and the latter for the product search.

Using the slug in both forms i can now simplify the code and have a
single query.

jordi fita mas f2a0cd7d94 Move back most dialogs to regular (but still boosted) pages
With Oriol agreed that adding or editing invoices, products, and
contacts is not just a “user interruption” but the main flow of the
program, and, as such, it is not correct to use dialogs for these.

More importantly, it was harder to concentrate, specially with the more
involved form of invoices, because of all the “noise” behind the dialog.

jordi fita mas 7d895fe5f9 Use HTMx to add product rows “inline” in the invoice form
I actually find more comfortable to select the product from the list
presented up until now, but this is mostly because i have very few
products and the list is not too long, so the idea is that with
JavaScript we will dynamically add an empty product row to the invoice
and then use the name field to search the product by name.

I have the feeling that i am doing something wrong because i ended up
with a lot of HTMx attribute for what i feel is not that much work,
but for now it will work.

I have added the `Is` field to `InputField` in order to include the `id`
attribute to the HTML element, because the HTMLAttributes are attached
to the `input`, not the `div`, and i felt like this one should also be
a custom element based on div, like all the others.

These is not yet any keyboard control to select the search results.

I am not happy with having the search of products in a different URL
than the index, specially since they use the exact same SQL query and
ProductFilter struct, but i did not know how else ask for a different
representation without resorting to the more complicated MIME types.

jordi fita mas c2f6d299b4 Refactor the invoice product form template
I was using the exact same form from edit and new pages of invoice,
which is not too bad considering it won’t change very often, but i now
want to be able to add new empty product lines with the add product
button, and i will need to have a template for that form, which would
mean a third copy.

jordi fita mas 149557e42e “Integrate” the tags’ condition into the input field
We have reconsidered the toggle thing and instead moved the selection
into a little menu on top of the input, like the input’s label does à
la Material Design.

I just moved the checkboxes into a new details, that works as a menu,
but i had to add the type="search" to the existing input in the tags
field, or the CSS would style the checkboxes as well.

I do not do anything when the checkbox selection changes because that
already triggers a POST to the server that returns the new HTML with
the checkbox changed, and the JavaScript only has to retrieve that new
structure, exactly as it does in the initial rendering.

Since we want to add a little description to the options, i no longer
can use the same SelectOption in ToggleField, even though i could have
reused the Group element, but that felt wrong.

jordi fita mas 5e01965d7e Replace use of <select> for tags “and” and “or” with checkboxes
I realized that using a select for just two, short, options is overkill:
the select and its options use a lot more real state than the two
radios, which can have tooltips (not yet, though).

Since i am going to replace this field with a custom element that has
a toggle-like aspect, i already added the is="numerus-toggle" attribute
and use it for stying the non-JavaScript field.
2023-04-15 04:05:59 +02:00
jordi fita mas 8f7933ffe2 Allow to select AND or OR for tags filter
This is because Oriol thinks that there may be cases where you want to
search invoices and such that have any of the selected labels, not all
of them, so we agreed on adding an option to choose.

The idea is that it will be a toggle, but this requires JavaScript and
this commit adds it as a dropdown as a first non-JavaScript step.

jordi fita mas d20573aa99 Allow editing invoice tags inline from the index table
I use the same pattern as HTMx’s “Click to Edit” example[0], except that
my edit form is triggered by submit and by focus out of the tags input.

I could not, however, use the standard focus out event because it would
also trigger when removing a tag with the mouse, as for a moment the
remove button has the focus and the search input dispatches a bubbling
focusout.  I had to resort to a custom event for that, but i am not
happy with it.

The autofocus attribute seems to do nothing in this case, so i need to
manually change the focus to the new input with JavaScript.  However,
this means that i can not use the same input ID for all the forms
because getElementById would always return the first in document order,
changing the focus to that same element and automatically submit the
form due to focus out.  That’s why in this form i append the invoice’s
slug to the input’s ID.

Finally, this is the first time i am using an HTMx-only solution and i
needed a way to return back just the HTML for the <td>, without <title>,
breadcrumbs, or <dialog>.  In principle, the template would be the
“layout”, but then i would need to modify everything to check whether
the template file is empty, or something to that effect, so instead i
created a “standalone” template for these cases.

jordi fita mas 233e7723c3 Use HX-Location instead of HX-Refresh when editing invoices
This makes reload only the <main> portion of the page, instead of the
whole thing, which to me looks faster; haven’t really measured it.

Like with duplicate, i had to add the location query argument when
inside the view page in order to return back to the same page, not the
index.
2023-04-05 10:29:03 +02:00
jordi fita mas dbfa58699c Show the duplicate invoice form in a dialog
Had to add a new hidden field to the form to know whether, when the
request is HTMx-triggered, to refresh the page, as i do when duplicating
from the index, or redirect the client to the new invoice’s view page,
but only if i was duplicating from that same page, not the index.

Since i now have to target main when redirecting to the view page, so
i had to add a location structure with the required json fields and all
that, when “refreshing” i actually tell HTMx to open the index page
again, which seems faster, now that i am used to boosted links.

jordi fita mas b6668e72ef Trigger filter form on change and search, as well as submit as before
Changed the invoice number field’s type to search to add the delete icon
on Chromium.  Firefox does not add that icon, but i do not care; it is
still better that type="text".

Had to emit the change event to the numerus-tag field, otherwise the
form would not detect the change.

I also can not use keyup as a trigger because the changed modifier can
not be used in the <form>, as nothing ever changes, i do not know how to
trigger the form from children (i.e., data-hx-trigger on the <input>
does nothing), and i can not trigger for just any keyup, or i would
make the request even if they only moved the cursor with the arrow keys,
which is very confusing as Firefox resets the position (this may be due
the fact that i reload the whole <main>, but still).

jordi fita mas c453715ee1 Remove the number field from new invoice form
Initially, this field was meant to be left almost always blank, except
for when we deleted invoiced and had to “replace” its number with a new
invoice; using the automatic numbering in this cas would not “fill in”
the missing number in the sequence.

However, we decide to not allow removing invoicer not edit their
numbers, therefore, if everything goes as planned, there should not be
any gap in the sequence, and that field is rendered useless.

Oriol suggested making it a read-only field, both for new and edit
forms, but i do not think it makes sense to have a field if you can not
edit it at all, specially in the new invoice dialog, where it would
always be blank.  In the edit form we already show the number in the
title and breadcrumbs, thus no need for the read-only field as
reference.

I still keep a Number member to the form struct, but is now a string
(kind of “a read-only field”, in a way) and just to be written in the
title or breadcrumbs.  I did not like the idea of adding a new SQL
query just for that value.

jordi fita mas 5717a5b9ed Put new invoice and edit invoice forms into a dialog
In this case i have to use the same id for the dialog content in all
pages because, for now, there are a couple of forms that need to replace
it on submit—the new/edit form and the product selection form.

Unfortunately, HTMx does not have support for `formaction` attribute at
this point, so i had to use the workaround described in [0].

jordi fita mas b7881c505f Add filters form for invoices
Instead of using links in the invoice tags, that we will replace with a
“click-to-edit field”, with Oriol agreed to add a form with filters that
includes not only the tags but also dates, customer, status, and the
invoice number.

This means i now need dynamic SQL, and i do not think this belongs to
the database (i.e., no PL/pgSQL function for that).  I have looked at
query builder libraries for Golang, and did not find anything that
suited me: either they wanted to manage not only the SQL query but also
all structs, or they managed to confuse Goland’s SQL analyzer.

For now, at least, i am using a very simple approach with arrays, that
still confuses Goland’s analyzer, but just in a very specific part,
which i find tolerable—not that their analyzer is that great to begin
with, but that’s a story for another day.

jordi fita mas 2417b4ebd2 Remove the link to edit contact from the invoice table
We agreed with Oriol that this link would only serve to confuse people.
I initially added the link because i thought it was a shame to have to
navigate to the contact section to look or change the info of a customer
that you have an invoice for in front of you.  However, it makes little
sense to be able to edit the contact from both sections, and we do not
have a “view page” for contacts to link to, thus the removal.

Had to split the actual page content and the breadcrumbs because they
do not belong in a dialog.  However, i had to change all templates to

jordi fita mas 82eb8a2733 Start the tag input custom element
This is more or less the same as a multiselect, except that now it
adds a list of string element that you write into the search element.

It is supposed to fetch a list of tag suggestions from the server, but i
have not implemented it yet.

jordi fita mas 8efae0485e Add the edit form for invoices
I had to change the way /invoices/new and /invoices/batch are handled,
because httprouter was not happy with the new POST /invoices/:slug/edit
route, claiming that /invoices/:slug conflicts with the previously
existing routes.

I also could not make it work with the PATCH method, even though i
correctly added the patchMethod override function, therefore editing
invoices is also weird because i have to take into account the “quick”
invoice status change.

I use the same form for both new and edit invoices, because the only
changes are that we can not edit the invoice date and number, by
Oriol’s design, but must be able to change the status; very similar
forms.

jordi fita mas d6034ad732 Add discount and tax classes columns to invoice
This was actually the (first) reason we added the tax classes: to show
them in columns on the invoice—without the class we would need a column
for each tax rate, even though they are the same tax.

The invoice design has the product total with taxes at the last column,
above the tax base, that i am not so sure about, but it seems that it
has not brought any problem whatsoever so far, so it remains as is.

Had to reduce the invoice’s font size to give more space to the table
or the columns would be right next to each other.  Oriol also told me
to add more vertical spacing to the table’s footer.

jordi fita mas 4d2379555e Convert invoices to PDF with WeasyPrint
Although it is possible to just print the invoice from the browser, many
people will not even try an assume that they can not create a PDF for
the invoice.

I thought of using Groff or TeX to create the PDF, but it would mean
maintaining two templates in two different systems (HTML and whatever i
would use), and would probably look very different, because i do not
know Groff or TeX that well.

I wish there was a way to tell the browser to print to PDF, and it can
be done, but only with the Chrome Protocol to a server-side running
Chrome instance.   This works, but i would need a Chrome running as a
daemon.

I also wrote a Qt application that uses QWebEngine to print the PDF,
much like wkhtmltopdf, but with support for more recent HTML and CSS
standards.  Unfortunately, Qt 6.4’s embedded Chromium does not follow
break-page-inside as well as WeasyPrint does.

To use WeasyPrint, at first i wanted to reach the same URL as the user,
passing the cookie to WeasyPrint so that i can access the same invoice
as the user, something that can be done with wkhtmltopdf, but WeasyPrint
does not have such option.  I did it with a custom Python script, but
then i need to package and install that script, that is not that much
work, but using the Debian-provided script is even less work, and less
likely to drift when WeasyPrint changes API.

Also, it is unnecessary to do a network round-trip from Go to Python
back to Go, because i can already write the invoice HTML as is to
WeasyPrint’s stdin.

jordi fita mas 419ac3ed46 Adjust invoice.css to work with WeasyPrint too
I am planning to use WeasyPrint to “generate PDF” from the same HTML
that the user view, but it seems that it does not support flex’s gap
and some other properties that i had to change to work in both user
agents.

I also moved the invoice’s “footer” inside the last product’s body
because i do not want the footer to be a “widow”.

jordi fita mas 18fba2964f Add invoice view, with print CSS
Had to group name and description rows in tbody because i do not want
to break them on pagination.

I also could not use tfoot for subtotal, taxes, and total because then
they appear on every page.

The disclaimer should appear only at the very bottom of the last page,
but i do not know how to do that; using position fixed shows it on
every page.

jordi fita mas 8dbf8ef2d0 Add currency_pattern to language relation
The design calls for rendering all amounts with their currency symbol,
but golang.org/x/text’s currency package always render the symbol in
front, which is wrong in Catalan and Spanish, and a lot of other
languages.

Consulting the Internet, the most popular package for that is
accounting[0], which is almost as useless because they confuse locale
with the currency’s country of origin’s “usual locale” (e.g., en-US for
USD), which is also wrong: in Catalan i need to write USD prices as
"1.234,56 $" regardless of what Americans do.

With accounting i have the recourse of initializing the struct that
holds all the “locale” information, which is also wrong because i have
to define the decimal and thousands separators, something that depends
only on the locale, next to the currency’s precision, that is
locale-independent.  But, since all CLDR data from golang.org/x/text
is inside an internal package, i can not access it and would need to
define all that information myself, which defeats the purpose of using
an external package.

Since for now i only need the format pattern for currency, i just saved
it into the database of available languages, that i do not expect to
grow too much.

jordi fita mas 97ef02b0f9 Add views to compute taxes and total amount of invoices
They are not functions because i need to join them with the main
invoice relation, and although possible is a bit more awkward with
functions.

The taxes have their own relation because i will need them grouped by
their name in the PDF, so it will probably be a select for that
relation.
