Summary

This PR introduces an onboarding step for newly registered users to appreciate community contributors (equivalent to follow on HSCStack).

Features & Updates

  • Suggested Contributors: Fetches 4 top-appreciated contributors and 2 random active members in AuthController::showOnboarding.
  • 2-Step Onboarding:
    • Step 1: User profile details (Name, Username, School, Photo).
    • Step 2: Appreciate Others — Interactive cards with Name, Verified badge, and Institution.
  • Micro-interactions & UX:
    • Matches the /u/profile appreciation button style with heart animations.
    • Requires selecting at least 1 contributor before the 'Create Account' button activates.
  • Backend Appreciation Handling: Atomically creates UserAppreciation records for selected users during AuthController::completeOnboarding.
  • Automated Tests: Added feature tests in AuthenticationTest.php for suggested contributors and appreciation creation.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented duplicate appreciation records during onboarding.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Google onboarding now shows suggested contributors and supports appreciation selection in a second step. The backend validates and persists selected appreciations. Feature tests cover contributor delivery and onboarding completion.

Changes

Google onboarding appreciations

Layer / File(s) Summary
Suggestions and appreciation persistence
app/Http/Controllers/AuthController.php
The controller loads four highly appreciated users and two random users. It validates selected contributor IDs and creates unique appreciation records while excluding self-appreciation.
Two-step onboarding interface
resources/js/pages/auth/Onboarding.vue
The page separates profile entry from contributor appreciation. It adds contributor selection, select-all behavior, avatars, verified badges, validation, navigation, and submission handling.
Onboarding flow validation
tests/Feature/AuthenticationTest.php
Feature tests verify suggested contributors, persisted appreciations, authentication, and the profile redirect.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c8071

The new appreciation step can leave some users unable to finish registration after an image problem, while the completion endpoint permits oversized appreciation submissions that can create excessive database work. These issues should be addressed before release.

Assert the contributor count, not just the key.

The test creates 6 users, but has('suggestedContributors') passes even if the prop is an empty array. showOnboarding promises 4 top plus 2 random. Assert the count so a broken query fails the test.

inRandomOrder() scans and sorts the whole users table.

This runs on every guest onboarding page load. On MySQL and PostgreSQL, ORDER BY RAND()/RANDOM() sorts all rows before taking 2. The cost grows with the user table.

If the table is expected to grow, pick random IDs first, then fetch by ID.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Step 2 can become a dead end when an image error or compression is pending.

goToStep2 does not check form.errors.image or isCompressing. Pressing Enter in a text input submits the form and advances to step 2 even when an image error is set. On step 2, submit() returns early at line 203 with no feedback, and the image error message renders only in step 1. The Create Account button then does nothing.

Block the step change while those conditions hold.

🐛 Proposed fix
+    if (isCompressing.value || form.errors.image) {
+        return;
+    }
+
     if (!hasContributors.value) {
         submit();
 
         return;
     }
 
     currentStep.value = 2;
