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.

September 2025: Delivered end-to-end Kiva Card support in the checkout flow across the kv-ui-elements and ui repos, boosting consistency and clarity in the basket. Implemented addKivaCardToBasket with a boolean success return, updated KivaCardInput and KivaCardRecipientInput interfaces, and expanded unit tests covering delivery types (Email, Lender, Postal), recipient details, scheduled delivery dates, and edge cases. Refined checkout UI with a unified Kiva Card preview image and streamlined delivery/recipient information display. These changes enhance customer experience, reduce delivery errors, and improve code quality through stronger test coverage and targeted refactors.
