Feature: Updating profile picture functionality and UI
tamalCodes opened this issue · comments
Description
Currently, there is no way to update the profile picture that is provided by default so updating it or having an option to do the same would be amazing
since the back end is not yet ready for this the idea is to make sure the front-end flow is ready properly along with some changes to the UI for updating a picture.
Proposed Solution
- We already have a model popping up for editing our profile on our profile page
- We can do the same for the image or we can have the model open up but show the field only for the image that way it would be much more convenient
- The Redux store must also be updated so that it shows the latest data for the image as well

@tamalCodes Can you please add the existing pop up modal
There is no existing modal, we have a modal just for editing a profile
However we do not have any option to update the user's profile picture, so we need to have that. IF you take a look at GitHub, you can go to your github's profile, click on edit, and then you have an edit icon for the profile picture.
On clicking it we have multiple options, an edit button and a remove button which further does the needed action
So I was wondering if we could have something similar for the image in the profile's section
we can use cloudinary for this it will convert the image into the link and then we just have to modify our backend litte much
That can be done, but do i need to pay for it ?
yes according to me cloudynary charge for this , But it is good to store our image as a string in database
can you assign me this task @tamalCodes ?
Sure , go ahead @rutupatel53 . Please react to this message so that I know you are working on the same !
