QA Instructions, Screenshots, Recordings
The reading list section should still be able to archive and unarchive reading list items.
Archiving
- Navigate to http://localhost:3000/
- In the feed, click on the save button of an article in the feed to add it to the reading list.
- Navigate to http://localhost:3000/readinglist
- Click on the Archive button of the reading list item.
- The archived item will disappear from the reading list.
- A snackbar item at the bottom left of the screen should say "Archiving..." and then disappear after a second or two.
Unarchiving

- In the feed, click on the save button of an article in the feed to add it to the reading list.
- Navigate to http://localhost:3000/readinglist

Filtering
Filtering the Reading List
- Navigate to http://localhost:3000/
- In the feed, click on the save button of an article in the feed to add it to the reading list. Do this with 4 or 5 articles so the reading list is a small size.
- Navigate to http://localhost:3000/readinglist
- In the search text box, enter in some text that is in the title of an article. It will filter so only article titles with that text are visible.
- In the filter by tag drop down, select a tag. It will filter so only article titles with the current filter text and articles with the selected tag are visible.
- Clear the search text box. It will filter so only articles with the selected tag are visible.
Filtering the Archive
To test the same functionality in the archived view:
- From the reading list with the existing list from the previous test set up, click on the archive button of an item in the reading list for as many articles as you'd like.
- Repeat steps 4-6 from the "Filtering the Reading List" section of QA.
UI accessibility concerns?
I fixed the markup so that everything is contained within the <main />
landmark now. There is a colour contrast issue with the <select />
being reported, but this is not related to the work in the PR. This appears to be more of a global issue with <select />
s. cc: @ludwiczakpawel
@aitchiss, the fieldset on the left when on the medium breakpoint and up is now a group of radio buttons since we only allow for filtering on one tag now. The keyboard navigation appears to be working well as is Voice Over, but please take it for a spin to see if there are any gaps in the work there.
