LG-1399 Spinner for docauth requests#3021
Conversation
|
We should present a spinner for the "Continue" button since we do not know how long it will take for the API request to complete. However, I thought this story is for "a visual indicator of progress when uploading the state issued ID". Really, we need it in both places. We may want to create a separate story for the "Continue" spinner and get it merged. |

@achapm I just looked at the title of the story I didn't realize the text said provide visual progress. That is different than a spinner. I've done it before but it's tricky business to get it to be compatible with all browsers. This is a cheap feedback mechanism to show them we are working on it. The upload actually does occur when they click continue. The preview is a browser/javascript hack and not actually the upload. |

@stevegsa Thank you for the clarification. John D said that a spinner is fine. I think you nailed it here. |
**Why**: So users don't get frustrated and leave or cancel when the upload takes a while on slow internet connections **How**: Create a general solution for one spinner per page. Hook in javascript to where we disable submit buttons and add a generic mechanism to unhide a single spinner if it exists.

Hi! Before submitting your PR for review, and/or before merging it, please
go through the checklists below. These represent the more critical elements
of our code quality guidelines. The rest of the list can be found in

Database
Unsafe migrations are implemented over several PRs and over several
deploys to avoid production errors. The strong_migrations gem
will warn you about unsafe migrations and has great step-by-step instructions
for various scenarios.
Indexes were added if necessary. This article provides a good overview
of indexes in Rails.
Verified that the changes don't affect other apps (such as the dashboard)
When relevant, a rake task is created to populate the necessary DB columns
in the various environments right before deploying, taking into account the users
who might not have interacted with this column yet (such as users who have not
set a password yet)
Migrations against existing tables have been tested against a copy of the
production database. See LG-228 Make migrations safer and more resilient #2127 for an example when a migration caused deployment
issues. In that case, all the migration did was add a new column and an index to
the Users table, which might seem innocuous.
When fetching a single record from the database,
#takeis used insteadof
#firstunless there is an#ordercall on the ActiveRecord relations.This prevents ActiveRecord from sorting by primary key which can result in slow
queries.
