[Proposal] Profile Interface #3

Open ctsstc opened 5 years ago

ctsstc commented 5 years ago

[WIP] Let me sleep on this, wake up, and realize the bad choices I've made.

We should aim to have a standard between profiles for anyone who would like to implement one.

Questions

Should users enter this into a JSON file?
- I don't think we can have type handling if we do that.
- Should profiles be static singletons?
Would we want a top level/primary SocialProfile?
- Maybe require it to be a meetup profile?
- The proposal below doesn't account for that, nor work for that example.

interface Profile {
    name: string;
    alias?: string;
    avatar: string;
    socialProfiles: SocialProfile[];
}

interface SocialProfile {
    network: SocialNetwork;
    handle: string;
}

enum SocialNetwork {
    Github,
    Twitter,
    Email,
    ...
}

Additional Stories

There are additional stories that should be created if we decide to move forward with this. Please reference this issue if you create them.

[ ] Profile link generator - should be able to take a SocialProfile and create a link from it -- assuming that they're composed of a standard base URL and the handle.

Alternative from slack discussion: we could pull profiles from the Meetup API and rotate them based on recent attendees.
