Additional filters

[RyanTG]

Design ideas:

Manufacturer:

• Contains dropdown listing all the manufacturers in our DB. We don't currently store this as a list in the DB, but this data does come with the machines endpoint. Could the list be built from that?
• If this filter is used, then the "Machine" filter should disappear; If the Machine filter is used, then this one should disappear.
• The API param for this is manufacturer (not by_manufacturer)

Insider Connected (individual machine):

• Similar to the "All versions" filter, it should appear if a machine is chosen that contains ic_eligible=true
• I think this could be a simple "with IC / ALL" buttonGroup.
• Two API params for this: by_machine_id_ic (for grouped) and by_machine_single_id_ic

Insider Connected (location has at least one):

• It should filter for Locations that have ic_active=true
• I think this could be a simple "with IC / ALL" buttonGroup.
• The API param for this is by_ic_active (boolean)

Machine Type:

• machine_type field in the machines table. Values are ss, em, and me (mechanical)
• I think we can have this be an "ALL / EM" buttonGroup
• The API param for this is by_machine_type (takes em, ss, me)

Machine Year:

• I can't really see a user wanting to filter by a single specific year, so I think the select for this would have to allow to specify a time span (either pre-determined - decades, eras? - or we let them do a slider to select a span of time).
• We could either make the list of years ourselves (earlier machine in db to current_year) or construct the list from the machines table)
• The API param for this is by_machine_year

Needs more design ideas and other work:

Display Type:

• machine_display field in the machines table
• Options are: lights, lcd, alphanumeric, cga, dmd, reels
• I don't see a strong need for this filter. I think it would confuse users.
• But, I did make an API param for it: by_machine_display

Accessible Adapter:

• does not currently have a field in the database for this.

I love these as potential new filters!

I created scopes and endpoint params for all of these. I edited the first comment to include them. Basically, we are all set from the website perspective to add new filters.
