Calendar Display Options: SMTWTFS vs MTWTFSS vs user defined

[romanstetsyk]

Summary

Currently, the calendar renders the week starting from Monday. This spec describes the possibility of rendering starting from Sunday (or any other day).

Scope

• Render the calendar based on the user locale, if possible
• Create a form that allows choosing a day that week starts (radio buttons or select field)
• Save the preference in the database or LocalStorage (open question)

Data Model

May need to add one field to the User model (e.g. startWeekOn)

User Stories

No response

Implementation Details

Use Intl API to get the day a week starts (doesn't work in Firefox)

Relevant files: AllDays.js, DayCardList.js

APIs

If we store the setting in the database, a new endpoint should be added that changes the User model.

Security/Privacy

No response

Testing

Front-end tests need to be updated

Open Questions

1. From the design point of view, where do we put the form?
2. Should we allow choosing the first day of the week other than Sunday or Monday? Google calendar allows setting Saturday, Sunday, or Monday. Apple allows any day. (First Day of Week World Map)
3. Should we store the user preference in the database or local storage?
