We may wish to consider (during design call) ideas for merging Star Ratings, Review Tags, and Best Book trophies into the same submit form/component so there aren't so many competing features.

EDIT: It looks like goodreads had a similar idea:

@noobCoderVP can I assign you to this one?

Yes sure

EDIT: @mekarpeles + @noobCoderVP are using this message for Project Managing this issue:

Feature: Best Books

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ddeg-fWWZ0iCFzVtZR0yGY_vCPttIUrd4tCIWwvYj6g/edit#heading=h.hwsgbba3g9bn

A feature called "Best Book Awards", where a patron who has Already Read a book may nominate it as the Best Book on a Topic.

Requirements

• Formalize the schema for Best Books
• Core Models for Best Book Nominations
  • https://github.com/internetarchive/openlibrary/tree/master/openlibrary/core awards.py
• JSON API (similar for ratings) for submitting, updating, and deleting nominations
• Adding 🏆 total counts to the Community Interest Bar
• Updating the Review Section to include 🏆 counts-per-topic
• Updating the Already Read Reading Log form to allow Best Book nominations
• Creating a form for submitting Best Book nominations

Test Cases

• What happens if a patron loads the page, uses JS to mark book as "Already Read" (without refreshing) and then clicks on "award" and tries to submit best book?

Known Bugs

• Currently, as of Oct 8, 2024, if you submit an award w/o having marked the book as "Already Read", you see a toast error like: "You can award only if you have read the bookNonemekarpeles". (this has been on front-end but not on backend)

Design Feedback

• The "Comments" section of the bestbook-modal should be larger / resizable (e.g. a textarea?)

Next Steps

• Fix pre-commit errors
• Make it so when you click the awards icon, it pulls up a new modal named bestbook_modal_link (because previously it was observations_modal_link)
  • Add js handlers to respond to bestbook_modal_link for modal toast messages
• When we submit the form, we need some way to take the data and submit to the backend without refreshing the page → we’re using a click handler on the submit button + fetch POST
• Add caution message if award is clicked but book is not yet marked as "already read"
• Fix submit logic, close bestbook modal, and open the community review tags form
• CSS cleanup: Consolidate + decrease duplicated styles in our less using & nesting and cleaning up classes
• DRY & Update APIs: Get the awards and count together (needs discussion)
• Mobile responsiveness & review (needs discussion)

Schema
