Propose a json structure to save the pomodoro data (in localstorage)

[Sergih28]

Keep in mind that you have to know when you start and finish in terms of datetimes, but you can have pauses in between.

Feel free to write the example with invented data to see the json structure.

Here is my proposal for the JSON structure:

The JSON contains a key with an array named "pomodoros". Each element in this array represents a pomodoro and is an object that includes:

• id: A unique identifier for the pomodoro.
• startTime: A string indicating the start time of the pomodoro.
• endTime: A string indicating the end time of the pomodoro.
• pausedTime: An array of objects representing the start and end of each pause within the pomodoro. If there are no pauses, this array will be empty ([]). Each object within this array contains the start and end of a pause.

The start and end time are represented as Unix timestamps, but these values can be altered.

Here's the JSON example:

{
  "pomodoros": [
    {
      "id": "unique_id_1",
      "startTime": 1636958400, 
      "endTime": 1636960500, 
      "pausedTime": [
        {
          "start": 1636958700, 
          "end": 1636959000 
        },
        {
          "start": 1636959300, 
          "end": 1636959600 
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "id": "unique_id_2",
      "startTime": 1637045400,
      "endTime": 1637047500,
      "pausedTime": []
    }
  ]
}

Looks good to me. Just some slight changes, I'd rename pausedTime to pausedTimeRanges so it's clearer what it contains.

And unique ids should be uuids.

@ehdlg Could you make that change please?

Also, create a file with that initial data, that we will use in the future to easily create data for the dev environment. Think what file name should be better for this It could be inside a data or fixtures folder, inside or outside src, I'm not sure, give it some thought.

Got it, here is the JSON with the changes that you proposed:

{
  "pomodoros": [
    {
      "id": unique_uuid,
      "startTime": 1636958400, 
      "endTime": 1636960500, 
      "pausedTimeRanges": [
        {
          "start": 1636958700, 
          "end": 1636959000 
        },
        {
          "start": 1636959300, 
          "end": 1636959600 
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "id": unique_uuid,
      "startTime": 1637045400,
      "endTime": 1637047500,
      "pausedTimeRanges": []
    }
  ]
}

Regarding the file name and the location, I think 'pomodoroSampleData.json' could be a good name, and for the location, placing it in a designated 'data' folder within the 'src' directory offers a logical and organized structure.
