# Bulk item edit

A React block (a whole screen) in [Beamline](https://beamline.io/)'s [Inventory](https://beamline.io/components/apps/inventory) app. Live demo: https://beamline.io/components/bulk-item-edit

Many items corrected at once. Pick a folder, with its subfolders or not (fixed once anything is edited), up to a limit said. The items in a grid: name, SKU, folder, quantity, unit, minimum, price and notes, the editable ones typed in place; an edited cell is tinted with what it was beside it struck. A blank cell changes nothing; clearing a value is its own act on the rows picked. A quantity typed sets the count, not a change to it. A row whose edits don't hold (an empty name, a count that isn't a whole number, a price below zero) is said in its Check column and will be skipped while the others apply; the changes and the skips are counted. Undo steps back through edits until they're sent. Review lists each change old → new and the rows skipped; Update sends them once with each row's revision; each row then says applied, skipped, or changed or deleted by someone else meanwhile and left alone; an answer that never comes back is said and the same update sends again without applying twice; applied updates can't be undone.

## Use it for

- Correcting many records at once after a recount, a price change or an import, where bad rows are skipped and the rest apply.
- Where blank must mean unchanged, clearing must be explicit and concurrent edits must not be overwritten.

## Not for

- Finding and picking items ([inventory-finder](https://beamline.io/components/inventory-finder)).
- Importing a file ([import-mapping](https://beamline.io/components/import-mapping)).

## Anatomy

- header: the tool's mark, title, folder, subfolders, how many items
- toolbar: changes, will be skipped, Undo, Review; with rows picked: the field to clear and Clear on picked; after: applied, skipped, changed meanwhile
- grid: the items with edited cells (the unit beside the quantity), a Check column, Folder only when the scope spans folders
- review: each change old → new, skipped rows, the outcome, Back to editing, Update

## States

- nothing edited, edited, invalid rows, cleared values, over the limit
- reviewing, sending, refused, answer lost, done with applied, skipped and changed meanwhile
- phone: one column, the grid scrolls sideways
- right to left: mirrored
- reduced motion: through the tokens

## Keyboard

- The grid's own keys: arrows move, Enter or typing edits, Enter commits, Escape cancels; Tab through the toolbar and the review

## Motion

Nothing runs at rest.
