Grid cells don’t start editing when I click on them

Saturday, August 17, 2024

The npm run build command now works as expected, I made some easy changes and can see the resulting behaviour in the version built on my machine. Here are my first changes:

• In components/ActionHandler.tsx I changed the message “No modified data detected!”, replacing the exclamation mark (“!”) by a period (“.”). I also ran npm run mm, which caused the files below lino_react/translations/extracts/i18n to get updated.

• In components/AppInlineProfile.jsx and components/constants.js I removed the “Pinned URL(s)” button and related code. Sharif had added this feature recently, but I don’t like it. The basic idea is great, but I believe that we should implement it on the server side and store the pinned urls in the database.

But I am having yet another riddle before I can say that I understood how to build the React front end. One detail is broken: the grid cell editor doesn’t start when I click on a cell. I even undid my easy changes and returned back to exactly the source code as in the gitlab repo, but the grid cell remains unimpressed by my mouse clicks. No message in the JS console.
