Month 2025-10 Summary for kiva/ui: Delivered a feature that clarifies donation messaging when only Kiva Cards are present in checkout by introducing kivaCardsCount prop and wiring it through BasketItemsList.vue to DonationItem.vue; DonationItem.vue now conditionally displays a tailored tagline when hasKivaCards is true and hasLoans is false, highlighting donation fees and guiding user actions. This improves clarity at checkout and supports informed donor decisions. Fixed UI polish by removing an extraneous space in the KivaCardItem description, ensuring the 'Scheduled to be sent' message renders correctly. Hardened the Kiva Cards edit flow by refactoring URL construction to use URLSearchParams, enabling reliable handling of multiple gift IDs in the edit URL. Overall, these changes improve checkout UX, reliability of Kiva Cards flows, and maintainability. Technologies demonstrated include Vue.js component communication, prop passing, and URL API usage.
