Web-based backend #48

Closed ghost closed 5 years ago

ghost commented 5 years ago

New approach:

Instead of implementing an openGL view for the book page, we will try to call a REST api and get an image from a server.

First course of action: call a sample REST API delivering an image to implement in the front end, so we can change the URL and parameters later, when the backend is realised.

e.g. APOD https://api.nasa.gov/api.html

It would help us if the backend could provide the picture directly and not an url to the picture or something similar, else we would have to work around with await / async.

We would then build the needed url with parameters, e. g. GET /book/{id}/{pageNr}?zoom={-1|0|1}&darkmode={1|0}, put it basically into Image.network and await that the correct picture will be displayed then.

This one seems to be on ice for now.

We now do the alternative with opengl ( #43 )
