Components Page: Filter by Project Properties

[msymons]

Current Behavior

Using the Component Page (/components) to perform a search will return components from inactive projects.... with not even any indication of which are active and which are inactive. This can result in a lot of noise in the results (noise that increases over time as more projects are "archived").

This is arguably a defect, but thinking more about the problem indicates that having an ability to filter search results by additional project properties (in addition to "inactive/active") would also be very useful.

Proposed Behavior

The components screen should provide the ability to filter search results by:

• Active projects
• Project is configured as "Latest"
• Project is of type "Collection" (new functionality to be introduced in DT v4.13.0)
• Project has tag X (eg, filter by tag production or staging... each of which might be slightly older than "Latest" )

WRT implementation in Frontend, there is a desire to keep things clean and present a UI that is easy to learn & use. I believe that the graphs ("Portfolio Vulnerabilities", etc) that are currently displayed at the top of the components screen "bring nothing to the party" and could be dropped. This would free-up space to offer something else instead...such as a "non-cluttered" UI for specifying filters.
