Add ‘Query Builder’ Button + tooltip to Query Service Interface
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Main components:

  • Query Service UI

User story:
As someone who needs help with writing queries, I want to learn about and navigate to Query Builder from the QS Interface in order to build my queries visually.

Problem:
As someone who needs help but doesn’t even know that the Query Builder exists, it would be difficult to discover the tool for help.

TODO: Normal state, Hover state, and gif

BDD
GIVEN a user using the Query Service,
WHEN the user hovers over the ‘Query Builder’ button on the top area,
THEN a modal will open under the button showing a title, text, and gif,
AND it will be visible as long as the user continues the hover behavior.

GIVEN A user using the Query Service,
WHEN the user clicks on the ‘Query Builder’ button on the top area,
THEN Query Builder will open in a separate browser tab.

Acceptance criteria:

  • The ‘Query Builder’ button should be the same as the existing buttons in the Query Service at the top area.
  • The gif plays automatically. it must be visible as long as the user hovers on the bottom and/or the tooltip area.
  • The ‘Query Builder’ opens in a new window
  • The ‘Query Builder’ opens in the language of the Query Builder UI

Open questions:

  • How should UX provide the gif for the developers?
  • Who works on this (contractor or WMDE)?

Hey,

Just pending the supply of the GIF for this.

@Charlie_WMDE

Hey @Botoxparty ,

I've just added the gif to the task description and here is also the direct link.

Hope it helps!

Pending the final URL

Hey @Botoxparty I just had a look at the link.

One thing i noticed is that the modal with the gif only shows on click instead of hover. The onclick behavior would be to open the QB in a separate tab.

Rest looks great!

Good from my side as well. I'm keeping this open until we can properly deploy it to production.
