Collections Page Functionality
Introduction
In the world of digital applications, a collections page is a crucial feature that allows users to view and manage their collected items. The implementation of a collections page functionality is a complex task that requires careful planning, design, and development. In this article, we will delve into the details of implementing a collections page functionality, including the home button functionality, currency and packs update, collection grid population, and sorting functionality.
Home Button Functionality
The home button is a fundamental element of any digital application. It allows users to navigate back to the main page or index.html. In the context of a collections page, the home button should take the user back to the index.html page. This functionality is essential for providing a seamless user experience.
Currency and Packs Update
Currency and packs are essential components of a collections page. They provide users with a way to purchase and collect items. In order to provide a smooth user experience, the currency and packs should be updated from local storage on load. This ensures that the user's currency and packs are always up-to-date and accurate.
Collection Grid Population
The collection grid is a visual representation of the user's collected items. It is essential that the collection grid is populated with the correct data. This can be achieved by pulling data from an array of card objects. The array of card objects should contain all the necessary information, including the item's name, ID, rarity, and acquisition time.
Sorting Functionality
Sorting is a crucial feature of any collections page. It allows users to sort their collected items in a specific order. In this implementation, we will provide three sorting options: alphabetical, Card ID, and rarity. The sorting functionality should be able to sort the array of card objects based on the selected option.
Implementation Details
Home Button Functionality
To implement the home button functionality, we will use JavaScript to navigate back to the index.html page. We will create a function that will be called when the home button is clicked. This function will use the window.location.href property to navigate back to the index.html page.
function goHome() {
window.location.href = "index.html";
}
Currency and Packs Update
To update the currency and packs from local storage, we will use the localStorage API. We will create a function that will be called when the page loads. This function will retrieve the currency and packs from local storage and update the UI accordingly.
function updateCurrencyAndPacks() {
const currency = localStorage.getItem("currency");
const packs = localStorage.getItem("packs");
// Update the UI with the retrieved currency and packs
}
Collection Grid Population
To populate the collection grid, we will use an array of card objects. We will create a function that will be called when the page loads. This function will retrieve the array of card objects from local storage and populate the collection grid accordingly.
function populateCollectionGrid() {
const cardObjects = localStorage.getItem("cardObjects");
// Populate the collection grid with the retrieved card objects
}
Sorting Functionality
To implement the sorting functionality, we will use the Array.prototype.sort() method. We will create a function that will be called when the user selects a sorting option. This function will sort the array of card objects based on the selected option.
function sortCards(option) {
const cardObjects = localStorage.getItem("cardObjects");
cardObjects.sort((a, b) => {
if (option === "alphabetical") {
return a.name.localeCompare(b.name);
} else if (option === "Card ID") {
return a.id - b.id;
} else if (option === "rarity") {
return a.rarity.localeCompare(b.rarity);
} else if (option === "acquisition time") {
return a.acquisitionTime.localeCompare(b.acquisitionTime);
}
});
// Update the collection grid with the sorted card objects
}
Conclusion
In conclusion, implementing a collections page functionality is a complex task that requires careful planning, design, and development. The home button functionality, currency and packs update, collection grid population, and sorting functionality are all essential components of a collections page. By following the implementation details outlined in this article, developers can create a seamless and user-friendly collections page experience.
