Track User Preferences / Settings in the Database

[elias-ba]

User Story

We have multiple areas in the app where we need to remember user preferences, such as the open panels in the inspector tab, the orientation of the docs panel in the job editor, and more. Currently, these settings are managed using Local Storage. We want to transition to tracking these preferences in the database using the user preferences table.

Details

• Identify Use Cases: It's important to compile a comprehensive list of all instances in the application where we are currently dealing with user preferences. This will ensure we capture everything that needs to be migrated to the database.

• Implementation:

  • Transition the storage of user preferences from Local Storage to the database.
  • Ensure that the application properly reads and writes to the user preferences table for each identified use case.
