Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added single, multi-column, and combined header sorting modes.
    • Sort controls now display direction and priority, with keyboard-accessible interactions.
    • Sorting preferences are restored and saved per view.
    • Added configurable sorting to case, task, and workflow views.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved sorting behavior when headers change, become hidden, or responsive layouts adjust.
    • Corrected visual ID sorting and preferred sort application.
  • Tests
    • Expanded coverage for sorting, persistence, restoration, and responsive behavior.

Introduced sorting support for headers by updating preferences, services, and UI components. This includes saving sort states, updating the header's edit mode, and enhancing the user interface with icons for sorting interactions.
Updated SCSS to fix alignment issues, adjust padding, and refine icon styles. Simplified HTML layout to ensure consistent spacing and applied new class names for better styling consistency. Changes improve usability and maintainability.

Revised sorting functionality to improve header sorting behavior, including new functions for updating and saving sort modes. Adjusted styles and HTML for better UI consistency, and introduced `sortingHeaderSelected` to manage sort direction changes effectively.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change adds configurable single, multi, and combined header sorting. It persists sort preferences, restores them in header services, applies them to sortable views, updates sorting controls, and demonstrates the modes in tabbed views.

Changes

Header sorting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Sorting contracts and preference state
projects/netgrif-components-core/src/lib/header/models/*, projects/netgrif-components-core/src/lib/resources/interface/*, projects/netgrif-components-core/src/lib/user/services/user-preference.service.ts, projects/netgrif-components-core/src/lib/header/header-state.ts
Adds sorting modes, sorting preference types, preference APIs, and selected-sort state restoration.
Header sorting service and mode handling
projects/netgrif-components-core/src/lib/header/abstract-header-service.ts, projects/netgrif-components-core/src/lib/header/*header/*service.ts, projects/netgrif-components-core/src/lib/header/header-modes/*
Loads, applies, persists, and restores sorts according to single, multi, and combined modes. Header mode components cycle sort directions and expose priorities.
Preferred sorts and view reloads
projects/netgrif-components-core/src/lib/view/abstract/*, projects/netgrif-components-core/src/lib/view/*/service/*
Registers preferred sortable headers, maps them to sort parameters, reloads views after applicable changes, and updates metadata sort-ID resolution.
Sorting controls and responsive behavior
projects/netgrif-components/src/lib/header/header-modes/*
Replaces Material sort events with explicit accessible sort controls and adds responsive removal and restoration of hidden sorts.
Tabbed sorting configuration
projects/nae-example-app/src/app/doc/tabbed-case-view/*
Passes sorting modes through tab data and demonstrates single, multi, and combined task tabs.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 14b0f

The PR adds persistence for user sorting preferences, but sort selections made through sort mode still revert after reload, causing users to lose their chosen ordering. The current head also contains bounded test-fixture and styling issues, so it is not merge-ready until the persistence behavior is corrected.

Previously, a warning was logged when sorting headers could not be restored from preferences. This change simplifies the code by removing the warning, as it does not impact functionality and reduces log noise.
Replaced the `setHeaders` method with a new `setHeadersAndSorts` method to handle headers and sorts together. This enhances consistency and readability by centralizing the logic for updating preferences. Adjusted references in the `abstract-header-service` to use the updated method.
This update introduces the getSorts method to the mock service, returning undefined by default. It ensures consistency with expected service behavior during tests.
- Introduced `HeaderSortingMode` enum with sorting modes: SINGLE, MULTI, COMBINED.
- Created `NAE_HEADER_SORTING_MODE` injection token for header sorting configuration.
- Enhanced header services to support configurable sorting modes.
- Updated tests for headers, sorting modes, and dependencies.
- Adjusted SCSS and HTML for inline sort priorities in multi-sorting mode.

Return the PreferenceResource envelope from this mock.

UserPreferenceService now reads prefs.preferences. This mock returns the inner object directly. Tests that use this mock therefore discard its configured headers, filters, and sorts.

Return Observable<PreferenceResource> with a preferences property, plus the required error and message fields.

- Around line 485-488: Update updateSortMode() to persist the current
selected-sort descriptors by calling setSortsAndSave() before applying the sorts
and emitting _headerChange$. Ensure sort selections made outside edit mode
remain saved for the current view.

In `@projects/netgrif-components-core/src/lib/view/abstract/sortable-view.ts`:
- Around line 43-50: Update registerPreferredSortableHeaders in
AbstractSortableView to clear _lastHeaderSearchState.sortDirection when
registering the new preferred sortable headers, ensuring addSortParams uses the
newly applied preferred sorts instead of stale direct-sort state.

at lines 12-20: move each sortingHeaderSelected(header) click handler onto a
button with mat-icon-button and type="button", give it an accessible name
identifying the header and sort action, and keep the nested mat-icon marked
aria-hidden="true".

In
`@projects/netgrif-components/src/lib/header/header-modes/edit-mode/edit-mode.component.scss`:
- Around line 17-22: Update projects/netgrif-components/package.json to declare
the Angular Material 17 peer dependency instead of ~13.3.1, keeping the MDC
selectors in edit-mode.component.scss unchanged. The sort-mode.component.scss
selector block requires no direct change because its template has no
mat-form-field.

In `@projects/netgrif-components/src/lib/header/header.module.ts`:
- Line 12: Remove the direct MatIcon import from header.module.ts and rely on
the existing MaterialModule export of MatIconModule, preserving the Angular
Material 13-compatible dependency usage.
