In order to create a dropdown of a user's collections in the view,
- In GET routes
/
,/spots/:id
andcollections/:id
- Use the session user to query a user's collections where collection name does not equal "Want To Visit" or "Have Visited", and
- Provide the collection in the view model on the
user
view model object asuser.customCollections
, also - Do a similar query where collection name does equal "Want To Visit" or "Have Visited", then
- Send the ID's of both of the above collections as a
defaultCollections
object on the view model
The resulting view model will look something like this:
res.render(<<pug_template>>, {
user: {
firstName: <<firstName>>,
lastName: <<lastName>>,
username: <<username>>,
email: <<email>>,
customCollections: [
{
id: <<collection_id>>,
name: <<collection_name>>,
},
...
]
defaultCollections: {
hasVisitedId: <<has_visited_id>>,
wantToVisitId: <<want_to_visit_id>>,
}
},
});
