Improving the User Experience: How jQuery Simplifies Group Management in Restaurant Profile

This code snippet is a great example of how jQuery can be used to simplify the process of handling user interactions and data manipulation in web development. At our restaurant "Restaurant of Mistaken Orders", we understand the importance of providing a seamless and efficient experience for our customers.

One way we do this is by allowing our customers to view and manage their order history and preferences in their user profile. This code snippet is specifically responsible for displaying the user's groups in their profile.

$(document).ready(function(){
    var optionsUserGroups = options.userGroups;

    try{
        var userGroups = optionsUserGroups.map(function(value){
            var newValue = value.replace(/ROMO|Romo\./g, "");
            return newValue ? newValue.replace(".", " ") : value;
        });
    }catch(err){
        console.log(`There was an error in Getting usergroups for user profile. ${err}`);
    }

    try{
        if(userGroups.length > 0){
            var updatedUserGroupsArray = userGroups.filter(function(value) {
                return !/Everyone|TermsAndConditions/.test(value);
            });
        }
    }catch(err){
        console.log(`There was an error in Getting usergroups for user profile. ${err}`);
    }

    try{
        if(updatedUserGroupsArray.length > 0){
            var uniqueUserGroups = [...new Set(updatedUserGroupsArray)];
            var finalUserGroups = uniqueUserGroups.map(function(value){ 
                var newValue = value.replace(/Base|Role/g, "");
                return newValue ? newValue.replace(".", " ") : value;
            });
            $.each(finalUserGroups, function(index, value){
                $(`<a class="dropdown-item" href="#"><li class="m-icon m-icon-people"></li>${value}</a>"`).insertAfter(".dropdown-divider");
            });
        }
    }catch(err){
        console.log(`There was an error in Getting usergroups for user profile. ${err}`);
    }

    $("li").filter(".nav-item.dropdown").attr("id", "romo-groups-profile");

    $("#romo-groups-profile").hover(function(){
        $("html").addClass("has-open-navbar-dropdown");
        $("body, html").css("overflow-y", "hidden");
        $("#profile-groups-menu").show();
        $("#profile-groups-menu").removeClass("hide");
    }, function(){
        $("body, html").css("overflow-y", "auto");
        $("#profile-groups-menu").hide();
        $("#profile-groups-menu").addClass("hide");
    });

    $("#romo-groups-profile").click(function(){
        $("#profile-groups-menu").hide();
        $("#profile-groups-menu").removeClass("show");
        $("#profile-groups-menu").addClass("hide");
    });
});

The first step in this process is to grab the user's groups data from our array and store it in the variable optionsUserGroups. We then use jQuery's map() function to clean up and format the data, removing any unnecessary characters and replacing them with spaces. We use the try-catch statement to ensure that any errors that may occur during this process are properly handled.

Once the data is cleaned up, we use jQuery's filter() function to remove any groups that the user may not want to see in their profile, such as the "Everyone" or "TermsAndConditions" groups. We then use the spread operator and the Set object to remove any duplicate groups.

Finally, we use jQuery's each() function to create elements to display the user's groups in their profile, and use the hover() and click() methods to handle user interactions with the groups dropdown menu.

Overall, this code plays a crucial role in providing our customers with a streamlined and personalized experience on our website by allowing them to easily view and manage their group membership on their profile. As a restaurant that values the customer experience, we are constantly looking for ways to improve and this is one example of how we achieve that.
