Research direction

Start with the checkbox and court date input in app/views/casa_cases/new.html.erb, then read the existing reveal controller in app/javascript/controllers/reveal_controller.js to see whether it fits. The jQuery version in app/javascript/src/new_casa_case.js shows the current behavior to copy. Done when the field hides and shows on toggle, the case saves both ways, bundle exec rspec spec/system/casa_cases/new_spec.rb passes, and the jQuery file and its require are removed.

Description

Difficulty: Easy Good First Issue Help Wanted javascript

What

On /casa_cases/new, checking "I don't know the court date yet" hides the court date field. app/javascript/src/new_casa_case.js does this with jQuery. The existing reveal Stimulus controller (app/javascript/controllers/reveal_controller.js) already toggles a target when a checkbox is clicked.

Checklist

  • In app/views/casa_cases/new.html.erb, wire the toggle-court-date-input checkbox and the court date input to reveal (or a tiny new controller if reveal doesn't fit)
  • Delete app/javascript/src/new_casa_case.js and its require in app/javascript/application.js
  • As [email protected], toggle the checkbox on /casa_cases/new and confirm the field hides and shows, and that the case still saves both ways
  • bundle exec rspec spec/system/casa_cases/new_spec.rb passes
