Reminders for Todo List tasks #349

Open LunarFang416 opened 2 years ago

Use the existing notificationService to generate notifications to remind students of their pending or overdue tasks. Send one notification the day before, and one notification the day a task is due. Also send a notification for an overdue task as well.

Are there some ideas you could get from here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54002431/how-to-trigger-events-in-node-js-when-a-future-date-time-stored-in-database-is

Do you think some polling approach could work where we have a single loop checking perhaps every minute across all projects for any upcoming TODO items, then send out appropriate notifications to students in the appropriate projects? Maybe polling one a minute or perhaps every 5 or 10 minutes if for some reason we want to reduce the number of DB calls?

Yeah thats a good Idea. Will work on this, this week. I think it will be easier to implement a listener in the backend which checks for any pending notifications after certain intervals.
