Frontend Status Store

[wingtkw]

@KalpasWang @sandytang886 Any suggestion on how to store the status in frontend?

e.g. how many cultists & shoggoths left? user info? turns left? that kind of thing

A library that I have used is named jotai which is a more atomic one compared with redux

https://jotai.org/docs/basics/comparison

here is a quick demo on the use of jotai you may view how it's done in the /feature/frontend/navbar branch

jotai looks good

also one thing, do we need something like react query to manage our server state? or just manage it manually in jotai,

I haven't used react query, but it's very popular.

For managing server state I use react query before for rest api And it's quite easy to use

But I guess in our game We are mostly using socket as well for real time state change and update So I think socket io client is more appropriate in this case

[KalpasWang]

ok, I see👌

It is time to document API endpoint to socket.io server, to let frontend people know how to interact with socket.io server. I will add more detail at here (by editing this comment) tomorrow morning if I have time .

Relevant discussion :

• Ted suggested AsyncAPI to document API endpoints for real-time communication (socket.io in current project)
• Issue #37 , currently the backend app supports 3 socket.io events
  • switch character, set difficulty level, chat message
