Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/1796

Originally assigned to: @a-wallen on GitHub.

Description

Enable users type / to insert linked database views of a grid/board into a page.

Currently, when typing the / will show the popup menu. User can select the inserted grid/kanban board. But can't create
another view of the existing database. So we need to implement that user can create a view and then choose the existing databases or create a new database.

So it needs to implement these features:

Create a database-inline (Currently it just like create a grid)
Create a database view(knaban board/ Grid / Calendar) and choosing the existing database.

#2017
- typing /grid or /board to create a new database.
- the new database will also display on the sidebar.
#2047
- typing /grid a new database.
- the new database will also display on the sidebar.

Link to an existing database

supporting linking an existing Board or Grid via the slash menu.
- typing /grid view or /board view to link an existing database.
- #2052

FYI, the calendar view is a still work in progress.

Create a new database

Support creating a new board via the slash menu.
- typing /grid or /board to create a new database.
- the new database will also display on the sidebar.

Link to an existing database

supporting linking an existing Board or Grid via the slash menu.
- typing /grid view or /board view to link an existing database.
- only the data will sync on each page or the same page, not including the actions applying to the view, like, filter, sort, and so on.

For example, I inserted two referenced grids with the same database on the document page.

I applied a filter to the first one, and it will affect the second one too. It's not our expectation. Our expectation is the action applied to the first one will not affect the second one.

@a-wallen commented on GitHub (Mar 18, 2023):

The slash menu is embedded in an Overlay and doesn't have access to the BlocProvider that provides the AppBloc's (app_bloc.dart). To create a new Board or Grid via the slash menu, it's necessary to provide an appId to the AppBackendService::createView. IIRC, AppEvent.createView will call AppBackendService, or we can just call AppBackendService::createView directly. Either way, the Overlay needs access to the appId.
