Fixing/Adding FE system - update

A few update for the FE system:

For the planner:
- Added the new way of inserting events.
- Highlight the new event by using the dark green color
- Fixed the goal energy and the goal line.
- Subtract the energy consumption of the events by the day baseline

Logger:
- Moved the baseline dataset calculation from javascript to the backend server.
- Initially display the date selection for both logger and planner tabs

  1. Hi Henry, thanks for the update!

    > - Added the new way of inserting events.
    Do you mean new way of doing the layout of events?

    > - Highlight the new event by using
    > the dark green color
    Cool! Looks good!

    > - Fixed the goal energy and the goal line.
    Looks good!
    One thing that we could to improve it is that we could show a text message (not sure exactly where) to tell users that they went above the target (and by how much).
    In this way, even though the graphic representation is not perfect, we can somehow compensate. Not very elegant, but it could be a quick and easy solution for the time being.

    Good. Sorry we still have a very slow server.. I am investigating that, see email.

    Good, unfortunately though, that seems not to be synchronized with the pan and zoom functions of the energy plot -- do you think it's possible to fix that?

    Yes it is

    I now notice this issue. I think it is not hard to fix, so I will look and fix it today.

    I will try to find a room for the text, this could be helpful for consumers to understand more about our system.
