User model #5

Open jtkaufman737 opened 5 years ago

jtkaufman737 commented 5 years ago

Please see #4 first

For the user model, we'll probably want

username: varchar (and limited?)
account UUID: (foreign key)
user UUID: (PK?) Guess I can see reason for and against this. It introduces a little more complexity but may be better separation of concerns to have user ID rather than account ID when we need it as a key for characters, etc...which btw, yeah I think this will have a one-to-many relationship with the character model (one person can be in many games) and we may need to have a unique constraint (one person can't be in the same game as multiple people?)

See comment here: https://github.com/codebuddies/dungeonbuddies/issues/5#ref-issue-378087041 Reference: https://github.com/codebuddies/dungeonbuddies/issues/6

Questions here:

Should we allow users to have multiple characters off the bat?
If characters have a name attribute, and a user also has a name attribute, if we want to ping a user in a chat, which should be @ mentioned or displayed?

Maybe account-user => username for clarity? And I would say username over character name. Not sure why but thats my gut feeling esp if people are ported over from CB into the game.
