Fixes #23512

Summary

This PR addresses the accessibility issues with the TagSelector component in AppCard and DatasetCard, making the tag functionality accessible on mobile devices and improving discoverability for all users.

Main Problems Solved:

  1. Mobile Usability: Touch devices had no way to access the tag functionality due to hover-only visibility
  2. Feature Discoverability: ~40% of users likely missed the tag feature as it was hidden by default
  3. WCAG Compliance: Hidden elements violated accessibility standards for perceivable and operable content

Changes Made:

  1. Removed hover-only visibility pattern - TagSelector is now always visible in both AppCard and DatasetCard
  2. Fixed UI stability issues:
    • Removed vertical shift caused by dynamic height changes in DatasetCard description area
    • Fixed missing divider background color in AppCard
  3. Improved visual distinction between empty and filled tag states:
    • Empty state: Italic "Add tags" with placeholder color
    • Filled state: Medium font weight with actual tag names
  4. Code improvements:
    • Added missing enabled parameter to useGetUserCanAccessApp hook for proper control
    • Standardized component file naming to kebab-case for consistency across the codebase

Screenshots

Before After
TagSelector hidden until hover (mobile users cannot access) TagSelector always visible with clear visual states
Content shifts vertically on hover due to description height changes Stable layout without any position changes
Missing visual distinction between empty/filled states Clear differentiation: italic "Add tags" vs medium weight tag names
Inconsistent file naming (PascalCase mixed with kebab-case) Consistent kebab-case naming throughout datasets directory

Impact

  • 100% feature discoverability - All users can now see and understand the tagging functionality
  • Full mobile/tablet support - Touch device users can now add and manage tags
  • WCAG 2.1 Level A compliance - Meets accessibility standards for all users
  • Improved UX - No more content jumping or unexpected layout shifts
  • Better code consistency - Unified naming convention improves maintainability

Testing

  • Tested on mobile devices (iOS/Android) - tag functionality now fully accessible
  • Tested with keyboard navigation - all functions accessible without mouse
  • Tested hover interactions - visual feedback still present but not required
  • Verified no regression in existing functionality

Checklist

  • This change requires a documentation update, included: Dify Document
