Dec 1, 2024In 2024-12, the IQSS/dataverse-frontend work concentrated on elevating data consistency, UX, and maintainability through targeted frontend improvements and dependency upgrades. Key outcomes include standardized date handling across metadata and frontend (converting date fields to strings for JSFileMetadataMapper, display, and data retrieval with consistent parsing); enhanced dataset/file cards showing tags, variables count, and observations count (updating the file preview model and mapper with mock data); a new visual treatment for restricted files in file cards (hardcoded icon/class to improve visibility); an upgrade of the Dataverse client library to a newer version (reflected in package.json and package-lock.json); an upgrade to TypeScript with expanded collection querying capabilities (new sorting/filtering in CollectionSearchCriteria and UI adaptations); and test stability improvements achieved by refactoring test helpers and hardcoded dates to reduce flakiness. These efforts collectively improve data accuracy, user experience, release confidence, and developer productivity.
