Improvements of User Badges

[kamicut]

Flairs will allow a moderator or an org owner to “tag” users with a badge or a “flair”. This flair will show up next to a user’s name. Examples of flairs are roles such as “Regional Ambassador” or status “Alumni”. Flairs could also be used for rewards and can be thought of of as badges "Team member of the week". There shouldn't be a limit of flairs assigned to a user within a team. Flairs are time bound ("Date of assignment" - "Date unassigned")

@jenningsanderson are the assigned / unassigned dates also decided by the moderator / org owner? Or should they be triggered automatically in the database? Could you give an example?

I changed the PR title from "User Flair" to "User Badges", which was the term that we thought was most appropriate for this feature at the last meeting. @kamicut and I put together a list of minimal features, possible enhancements and the data schema.

Minimal features:

• Org admin can create/edit/disable badges, which have a title and color
• Org admin can add/edit/remove badges of a org member
• User profile page should display current and previously awarded badges

Nice to have:

• Badge icons
• At org member lists, filter by badge

Data schema:

• badges:
  • id
  • title
  • color
  • orgId
  • createdBy
• user_badges:
  • userId
  • badgeId
  • awardedAt
  • expiredAt
  • assignedBy

We partially added badges management in #263, remaining tasks are:

• Display badges in user profile
• Remove badge from user
• Implement a way of assign badges without an OSM id by adding a "assign badge" button in the user table in organization view, which will take the user to a assignment page containing a selector of existing badges.

Status update:

• Added a profile action to assign a badge (user can select which badge next)
• Badge unassignment

Next steps:

• List user badges in profile (Badges should be displayed next to usernames #295)
• Validate if the user already has the badge in assign new badge page (currently displays generic error)
• Remove assignment by id form in badge page
• Format date always in UTC time
• Badge update seems to be broken

Closing this, we are going to open tickets to the next steps.

Please ignore the previous comment, we need to look into the next steps in the updated to-do list, and ticket accordingly.
