Write HTTP API #67

Closed ddsnowboard closed 7 years ago

ddsnowboard commented 7 years ago

I want to make an Android app for this, and I need an API for that.

[x] Write documentation (which will serve as a spec)
[x] Set up mechanism so that the server can send requests to another server such that the user can get a push notification on their phone upon a Trade or a StockSuggestion. Spec'd in 9a4631b
[x] Write code
[x] Write unit tests Almost finished in 5045dfc39e65963b5eeaf69818ae244c45610d91 EDIT: I'm not actually done yet. I need to test the auth functions still. EDIT: Finished in d772f9dbb0082797ace8d4a538626154b3faca9d
[x] Write Java interface (probably in separate repository)
[x] Add Android push notification feature EDIT: Finished in 428e715884a4f650c66eb6c7596acbadf5691a30. This brought almost a big of a smile to my face as when I finished the XHR JavaScript stock price fetching.

Now I just have to implement it. Easy, right?

With respect to the issue of infinite loops in the return Json, I was thinking that I could have abbreviated versions of each model that don't have any foreign keys, just IDs, and and return those when they're part of other models. That could solve the problem. EDIT: Spec'd in dae4ada2260cbec202268fa1c782a3b5a522724d

Also I have to have a way to register something so the backend can send a push notification to the user when they get a trade. I don't know the right amount of coupling I should use for this, but I have to have something for it, and I can't use the auth system like I thought I could (although I don't know why I thought this, that was ridiculous).

I need to have some way to edit things. I don't know the best way to do this. I might just leave it until after this assignment is done because I can probably get away without it and it will probably be complicated. Still, if I want this to be actually reasonable, I need to do this.

[ ] Add editing functions

Also, I should probably make Floors appear to know what Players are on them from the API.

Also, for the Java interface, I am going to have a subclass of each object called "AbbreviatedX". I'm not sure how to make GSON like it, but if I can get that, everything should act like how it should.
