Circulation in progress II

v0.1.0a13

• User management:
  • Fixtures: the populate.sh script creates a librarian for each member (library), three patrons with on-going circulations transactions [see the help page].
  • Librarians can create users and grant or revoke them roles.
    • Users with no roles can:
      • log in
      • and search for documents.
    • Users with the patron role can:
      • access their profile,
      • place requests
      • and borrow items.
    • Users with the staff role are authorized to:
      • manage all resources (documents, items, organisations, members, locations, users):
      • make use of the circulation module.
• Data:
  • Item and patron barcodes are validated at creation in order to assure that they are unique. This is required by the circulation-ui module.
  • Member and location codes are also validated.
• Search:
  • The placeholder of search input in the header changes according to the search view (documents, organisations, users). In the future, this will be a selector menu.
• Circulation:
  • The reroils-circulation-ui enables the management of requests (on items for now).
  • Additional item states have been added, such as at desk (the item is ready to be picked up at the loan office) and in transit (the item is being sent from one library to another).
  • In the circulation module, logged in librarians have access to a second tab that displays the pending requests related to their library.
  • Librarians can validate requests, meaning that the item has been retrieved from the shelf. The item state changes accordingly (at desk or in transit).
  • In the check in / check out tab, the renewal action is now available.
