Update draft picks without refreshing #21

Closed dizbpg closed 9 months ago

dizbpg commented 1 year ago

Currently in order to see any draft picks that were made after you loaded the draft page you need to manually refresh.

It would be convenient for the information to updated automatically without need for refreshing.

If this suggestion is accepted, I would like to undertake it myself.

Hi @dizbpg

This has been requested before, so I wouldn't mind seeing it implemented. The only caviat I'd suggest is to not just re-download the data on a timed interval, but instead listen for a window focus event or something and then check how long it's been since the data was refreshed. If people are going to leave this draft open for a couple of days (which is what I do usually) I would like to avoid the bandwidth of 100000 requests per user.

Based on @Keksike 's PR ( I implemented an automatic refresh when the visitor's tab becomes active. I feel like this is a decent compromise that doesn't put too much load on the server.
