Invitations #29

Open nichoth opened 1 year ago

Should use an invitation system

[x] when you accept an invitation, you start by following the person who invited you
[x] the inviter should follow the newly invited person also (befriend each other) -- depends on friend list -- Need to see the current friends in the UI.
[x] show current friends in the UI
[ ] need to show 'pending' friends in the UI. This is when you have requested friendship, and we are waiting for them to accept it.
[x] automatically accept 'redemption' messages

[x] write 'acceptance' messages to the DB, so that the original requester can see them

This means when you create an invitation, you need to also create a friendship request.

[x] can only create your account if you have been invited

Invitations need a UUID, which is like a password.

[x] save the UUID to the DB. That way there is a record of your social graph, leading back to a single inviter.
[x] server should verify that the author of the invitation is on the 'allowed' list

social graph

[x] when you open the app, should check for any record of accepted invitations — "redemption" messages. If someone has accepted an invitation of yours, you should befriend them.
[x] when you accept an invitation, should make a friend request message to the inviter. Include the invitation or invitation code in the request, because it is proof that the friend request is in response to an invitation.

Automate request-friendship and accept-friendship.

[x] Immediately after you redeem an invitation, you should create the request-friendship message.
[x] (the friend request must include a copy of the invitation, because that is proof that the request is in response to an invitation.)

[ ] fetch all relevant acceptance messages when you open then app
[ ] send an 'ack' message after you have processed the acceptance messages

Can consider the invitation document as proof of requesting friendship. ~~Or just embed an additional 'friend request' within the invitation document.~~ doesn't work b/c requests are to a specific username. need the username to befriend

An invitation should probably extend the FriendRequest type

[x] should get any existing invitations and show them in the UI, for the admin

What does the server do when you redeem an invitation?

Then we create a profile for the user.
