Today’s Development Highlights: UI/UX, Security & Code Improvements
What developments have taken place today?
Today’s changes focused on enhancing user experience and improving system reliability through several key updates:
- Email Verification Component: A new component was added to the user detail page, providing a visual alert if an email is not verified and offering a button to resend the verification email. This improves user engagement by clearly communicating account status and facilitating quick correction.
- User Verification Email Functionality: A button click now triggers a request to send a user verification email, streamlining the account setup process.
- Admin Page Layout Improvements: Several admin pages underwent restructuring using custom components (header, breadcrumb) and session data for dynamic content rendering. This modular approach enhances maintainability and organization.
- Homepage Component Refactor: The homepage was refactored to utilize a component-based structure with “hero” and “features” components, promoting code reusability and simplifying updates.
- Password Validation: A new password validation mechanism was implemented for the user change password functionality, ensuring that passwords meet minimum requirements before being saved.
- User Profile Edit Enhancements: The user profile edit page now displays timezone and locale information and includes a save button to update these settings.
- Change Password API Implementation: The code for implementing a change password function was added to the remote daemon client, allowing users to modify their passwords through the API.
- Website URL Database Updates: New website URLs were added to the database, along with associated metrics data, expanding monitoring capabilities.
- Container Startup Configuration: The docker-compose command now includes a ‘monitoring’ profile to automatically launch monitoring services during container startup.
- OpenTelemetry Tracing Improvements: The
handleMessagefunction in the RabbitMQ consumer handler was updated to include more detailed tracing information, improving error diagnosis. - CSS Cleanup: Unused CSS styles and related code were removed, contributing to a cleaner codebase.
- HTML Template Updates: The HTML templates for various pages were modified to incorporate new components, improve layout, and handle email verification status.
- Port Change: The Lighthouse API now listens on port 3001 instead of 3000.
These changes collectively enhance the application’s functionality, usability, maintainability, and monitoring capabilities, resulting in a more robust and user-friendly experience.
