Draft: feat: Add Shareable Record URLs

Praneeth Ashish requested to merge 235-feat-add-temporary-shareable-record-urls-in-peer-review into develop

DESCRIPTION

This Merge Request adds a dedicated Record Detail View and a Public Sharing feature. Users can now click on any record to be redirected to a detailed view page showing all associated descriptions and metadata.

Additionally, this page includes a Share button that generates a temporary, unauthenticated URL via the existing backend, allowing for easy external distribution of specific record data. Problem Statement

Currently, record details are difficult to view in depth without a dedicated page. Furthermore, sharing specific record information with external collaborators requires manual data extraction or account creation, which hinders the workflow for non-authenticated users. Proposed Solution

  1. Dedicated Detail Page: Redirects users from the record list to a comprehensive view of all record details.

  2. Share / Link Action: A prominent button on the detail page that calls the record_url endpoint.

  3. Public Access: Enables read-only viewing of that specific detail page without requiring a Swecha login.

User Flow:

  1. Navigate to the Records list.

  2. Click on a Record: System redirects user to a new dedicated Detail Page.

  3. View Details: All descriptions and metadata for that specific record are visible.

  4. Click Share Button: Located on the side/action bar of the detail page.

  5. Copy URL: A temporary URL is generated for the user to share.

In Scope

  1. New Routing/Page for Record Details.

  2. UI components to display full record descriptions.

  3. Share button integration on the Detail Page.

  4. Integration with the existing record_url generation logic.

  5. Unauthenticated access handling for the shared view.

Out of Scope:

  1. Editing records from the public link.

  2. Modifying existing record list filters.

Creating new backend endpoints.

Implementation Phases:

Phase 1 – Detail Page: Create the new route and page component to display all record fields.

Phase 2 – Redirection: Update the Records list to link to the new Detail Page.

Phase 3 – Share Functionality: Add the "Share" button and connect it to the URL generation API.

Phase 4 – Public Route: Ensure the detail page can render in a "Read-Only/Public" mode when accessed via a shared link.

How to Test:

  1. Go to the Records tab.

  2. Click on any record and ensure it redirects to the new detail page.

  3. Verify all descriptions and details are rendered correctly.

  4. Click the Share button and copy the generated link.

  5. Paste the link into a Private/Incognito window.

  6. Confirm the record details are visible without logging in.

Acceptance Criteria:

[ ] Record click redirects to a new page (/records/:id).

[ ] Detail page displays all relevant record metadata/descriptions.

[ ] Share button successfully generates a temporary link.

[ ] Shared link is accessible without authentication.

[ ] UI provides feedback (e.g., "Link copied") when the button is clicked.

Looking forward to your review & feedback!
Thanks! 🚀
