Changes / New Features

• New menu entry in the sidebar for the list of users (contributors, moderators, supervisors).
• User list component with backend search.
• Single entries have tags for their user roles, if moderator or supervisor. No tag for simple contributors.
• There is a special "banned" tag for banned users, with a PopOver showing the ban details.
• Depending on the user role, several buttons for moderative actions show up (see screenshots).
• Banning users requires a reason and an end date, both data can be entered in a modal (see screenshots).

Details

Now let´s go through the most important or interesting parts of the PR. I decided to use one single Redux action for the moderative operations, because there is not much difference and redundant code is uncool. I believe it is easy to read, banReason and bannedUntil are only used for the ban/unban operation, of course. It takes the action as string to specify a dynamic API endpoint. Of course you could just use the endpoint directly as action string, but I want to keep API endpoint information in Redux actions:

export const moderateUser = (username, action, banReason, bannedUntil) => {
  return async (dispatch) => {
    const modEndpoints = {
      addSupervisor: '/moderation/add/supervisor',
      removeSupervisor: '/moderation/remove/supervisor',
      addModerator: '/moderation/add/moderator',
      removeModerator: '/moderation/remove/moderator',
      ban: '/moderation/ban',
      unban: '/moderation/unban'
    };
    try {
      await apiPost(modEndpoints[action], {
        access_token: Cookies.get('accessToken'),
        username: username,
        banReason: banReason,
        bannedUntil: bannedUntil,
      });

      dispatch(getUserList());
    } catch (error) {
      console.log(error);
    }
  };
};

(actions/stats.js)

The mod buttons may be used elsewhere, so I decided to create a separate component for those. Depending on the user role, different mod buttons may appear. Checking for a username directly is the only option to check for a "Master User" as of now, there is no separate role for it right now in the backend:

render() {
  const {showBanModal, banReason, showModalError} = this.state;
  const {user, item} = this.props;

  return (
    <div className="mod-buttons">
      {(user.username === 'knowledges' && item.roles.indexOf('supervisor') === -1) && <Button type="primary" size="small" onClick={this.onMakeSupervisorClick}>Make Supervisor</Button>}
      {(user.username === 'knowledges' && item.roles.indexOf('supervisor') !== -1) && <Button type="primary" size="small" onClick={this.onRemoveSupervisorClick}>Remove Supervisor</Button>}
      {(user.isSupervisor && item.roles.indexOf('moderator') === -1) && <Button type="primary" size="small" onClick={this.onMakeModClick}>Make Mod</Button>}
      {(user.isSupervisor && item.roles.indexOf('moderator') !== -1) && <Button type="primary" size="small" onClick={this.onRemoveModClick}>Remove Mod</Button>}
      {(user.isModerator && !item.isBanned) && <Button type="primary" size="small" onClick={this.onBanClick}>Ban</Button>}
      {(user.isModerator && item.isBanned) && <Button type="primary" size="small" onClick={this.onUnbanClick}>Unban</Button>}
      <Modal
        title="Ban User"
        visible={showBanModal}
        onOk={this.onBanOkClick}
        onCancel={this.onBanCancelClick}
      >
        <div className="mod-modal-input"><Input placeholder="Reason" value={banReason} onChange={this.handleBanReasonInput} /></div>
        <div className="mod-modal-input"><DatePicker onChange={this.handleBannedUntilInput} /></div>
        {showModalError && <div className="mod-modal-error">Reason and End Date have to be entered!</div>}
      </Modal>
    </div>
  );
}

(components/Common/ModButtons.js)

The Modal for banning users includes an Input and a DatePicker, both have to be entered in order to ban a user. There is just one error message for both, because it´s only for two fields anyway.

The Users container includes a stateless component for the title of the list item. This is basically to keep the main render function smaller and it contains a PopOver component showing details for a user ban. It shows the ban reason, the end date of the ban and the user who created the ban:

const Title = ({username, roles, isBanned, bannedBy, bannedReason, bannedUntil}) => {
  const bannedPopover = (
    <div>
      <p>Reason: {bannedReason}</p>
      <p>Banned Until: {timestampToDate(bannedUntil)}</p>
      <p>Banned By: {bannedBy}</p>
    </div>
  );
  return (
    <div>
      <a href={`https://www.steemit.com/@${username}`}>{username}</a>
      <div className="mod-tags">
        {roles.filter(role => role !== 'contributor').map((role) => {
          return (
            <Tag key={`${username}-${role}`} color={(role === 'supervisor') ? 'magenta' : 'blue'}>{role}</Tag>
          );
        })}
        {isBanned && <Popover content={bannedPopover} title="Ban Details"><Tag color="red">banned</Tag></Popover>}
      </div>
    </div>
  );
};

(containers/Users/index.js)

The main list is a simple Ant Design List component and includes the already mentioned Title and ModButtons components in its item renderer:

<List
  dataSource={users}
  renderItem={item => {
    return (
      <List.Item>
        <List.Item.Meta
          avatar={<Avatar src={`https://steemitimages.com/u/${item.username}/avatar`} />}
          title={<Title username={item.username} roles={item.roles} isBanned={item.isBanned} bannedBy={item.bannedBy} bannedReason={item.bannedReasons} bannedUntil={item.bannedUntil} />}
          description={`Contributions: ${item.contributions || 0}`}
        />
        <ModButtons item={item} />
      </List.Item>
    );
  }}
/>

(containers/Users/index.js)

As always, I am happy to get feedback for improvement, so don´t be shy :)

Roadmap

• Bugfixing and UI improvements.
• Error handling with Toast messages or Modals.
