Standup endpoint

[eddiejaoude]

It would be great to encourage more daily standup information.

• Save (from bot or UI) daily standup information
• Read daily standup information in daily order desc

Update after discussion with @mstanciu552 below

send the information from EddieBot to the API using axios or fetch and then save them in a users collection in our db

[mstanciu552]

I have a question that would help with this. Specifically with the information from the discord bot.

How would we get the standup from it? Is it something from discord.js or do we need to use the Discord API?

[eddiejaoude]

We have a command ^standup <yesterday> || <today> it is nothing technically special, it just rewrites the message as a notifications.

I am suggesting we save this, so it could be displayed on our web app too

Example

[mstanciu552]

Oh I see so we could just send the information from EddieBot to the API using axios or fetch and then save them in a users collection in our db.

Is thus the kind of system you are talking about?

[eddiejaoude]

yes that is correct - sorry if I explained it badly, thank you for challenging 👍 - I will update the description

[mstanciu552]

Thanks for helping me to understand. 😄

[Vyvy-vi]

I think, perhaps we could simplify this and avoid using discord API?
We could have the bot store this on Mongo and then the site could render the content from there?

[eddiejaoude]

Yep 👍 the bot will send the data to our API which will store the data in the db

[mstanciu552]

This is a suggestion. If you think of anything better please let us know.

We could have a variable in the .env file that points to the URL of the API. Then using axios(or fetch) we make a request.

Then in the API we modify the User model to also have a standup array.

Please share your suggestions. 😄 👍

[eddiejaoude]

Yep the API url in the Bot and UI will be part of the config, as this will change depending if we are developing locally or in production etc.

Yep, the User model will have a standup array 👍

[mstanciu552]

This question might be a bit redundand.

Does the ^standup command also send the user that called it?

[Vyvy-vi]

It only sends the message in the channel it is called in

[mstanciu552]

Oh .... Do you also know if there is any way to get the sender through discord.js?

Something like message.from?

[Vyvy-vi]

message.author should return the member object for the sender of the message

[mstanciu552]

Alright so I tested how to get the user.

This will make an object with the id, username and discriminator(the # followed by 4 digits near the username).
We could create Users in the db based on this information, to which we add their standup array.(this could also have a date attached to it)

Share you opinions. It really help. Thank you. 👍 😄

[eddiejaoude]

Nice 👍 , yes we will need to send the user with the standup message - so we can save the standup message against the user

Currently the Discord user API is being created, so we can move things to the API

[Cahllagerfeld]

I could do this.

• I think we handle this like the discord-Service where data is stored in an Array until we have a database I'd suggest.
• Do we need a Put-Endpoint for Editing Standups?

[eddiejaoude]

Thanks @Cahllagerfeld 👍 . Good question, I do not think we need a PUT endpoint
