v1.2.2

Release Notes: v1.2.2

Release Date: 03-06-2023

Overview:
Cinemathe v1.2.2, introduces several new features, bug fixes, and enhancements to improve the overall user experience. Below are the detailed changes included in this release:

New Features:

• Grid Representation of Movies and TV Shows in the Profile:
  Improved the user profile by replacing separate paginations for movies and TV shows with a filtering option that allows users to filter by 'Movies - TV Shows', resulting in a single pagination. 720f5ed

• Filtering Functionality by Genres and Years:
  This feature introduces the capability for users to perform refined searches within their favorites collection. Users can now filter entries based on specific genres and delineate results by decade intervals. For example, users can query their favorites to display action movies added between the years 1980 and 2000. The filtering logic leverages the genresForDb and yearStartForDb fields to ensure accurate and efficient data retrieval. bfc9e1f

Bug Fixes:

• Bug Adding First Favorite for New Users:
  Resolved an issue that occurred on the first click when adding a favorite for a newly created account. The first click was not recognized due to a state update failure when mapping '0' objects in the JSON. On the second click, the 'Add to Favorites' button functions correctly, and this issue does not recur for that user again. 1a8ff1c

• Auto-fill Bug on Login Page:
  Fixed an issue where auto-fill on mobile devices sometimes caused a redirection to the root page. The form configuration has been adjusted to prevent this redirection, allowing users to continue the authentication flow. 3435ff6

• Sign In Button as Loader Button:
  Updated the sign-in button to function as a 'loader-button', displaying a loader until the authentication process is complete. ec38775

• Rating Score Consistency:
  Refactored rating scores for movies and TV shows in the main carousel to display two decimal places. f3251b0

Style Enhancements:

• Review and Standardization:
  • Standardized font sizes, styles, and weights across all components to ensure a consistent and cohesive appearance throughout the entire application.
  • Reviewed hover effect on user profile menus; the button's border-radius was causing the hover effect to misalign. 5b80d98

Responsive UI Improvements:

• Adjustments for Better Responsiveness:
  • Adjusted the avatar modal layout to fit within the parent element.
  • Aligned paragraph text correctly in the confirmation modal after user registration.
  • Modified the share modal width for screens larger than 800px to improve responsiveness. 7669bcb
