Firebase structure clarification

[robbieyang]

Since I am responsible for team merge and invitation(to members) functions, I would like to add 2 child node under team in Firebase json structure:

• InvitationRequests: this is the child node of a team. If a team send an invitation request to any member, the member will be stored in InvitationRequest.
• mergeRequests: this is also a child node of a team. If a team send merge request to another team, the information of received team will be stored in mergeRequests.

The basic logic is that, for sender, we will open a child node to store the information of receiver. Two child nodes above are set under team. If any questions, please raise. Thanks.

OK that's good. Since our firebase structure will be different and our common facebook account is banned by facebook T.T, I have added site.js (about the firebase config) to .gitignore.txt #13. As a result, we can test our own features in our own firebase without changing the firebase config.

Thx Wai for excluding the site.js :) sorry for facebook T_T

Also, I would like to put the member profile folder on the root of the firebase database :) and all member profiles are accessed by their own UID.

I am going to use this structure ps. edited at 12/11/2016

in /

event <---used to save event user <---used to save user profile

in /event

abc <---- an example of event def <-----an another example of event

in /event/abc

admin <---used to store param(maxTeamNum&minTeamNum,imgURL, description,), and owner (renewed on 13/11/2016) member <--- used to store user who entered to the event team <--- used to store team data

in /event/abc/admin/ (update in 14/11)

param <-- contains maxTeamNum, minTeamNum, imgURL, description owner <-- who can edit the parameters of param and perform group merge (force)

in /event/abc/team

teamA <---- example of team teamB <-----example of team

in /event/abc/team/teamA

leader: userA <---data to store who owns the team size: 8 <-----the size of the team teamMember:["wow","asdf"]<-- array of members who entered the team. mergeRequests: ["teamB"] <-- if teamA wants to merge with teamB, teamA sends a mergeRequest #11 (proposed) invitationRequests: ["xdd"] <-- if teamA wants to invite one member with no team joined, teamA sends a invitation. (proposed)

in /event/abc/member/xdd

name: "xdd" <--his displayname selection : ["teamA","teamB"] <-- sending invitation to both team joinedTeam : <--- empty string if no group, team name will be stored if the user has join a team (proposed)

in /user

userA <---folder storing userA's detail wow <----folder storing wow's detail

in /user/userA

description : "hello I am userA" <--- string data for storing description name: "User A" <---string showing display name skill: ["C++","Python"] <---array to store his skill comments : ["not very good ar","why this will be happen"] <--store other's comments towards this person own: ["/event/abc/team/teamA"] <--an array storing his permission on editing sth <--proposed and wait for discussion

I am re-constructing the flow of team management. There should be one more child node under member indicating that the member has joined a team to avoid a member having more than one team. I am wondering how to store the information, to store the name of the team that the member has joined or just to have true/false to indicate?

[p-wong1124]

to store the name of the team la if it is undefine/null then it is indicated as not in the group 😝

[wai2016]

I think a bool value is ok.

And I think the structure now is fine.

[robbieyang]

@p-wong1124 If the user has no team, I will store empty string -> joinedTeam = ""

[p-wong1124]

Will empty string will be stored by firebase ?? 😛 @robbieyang

[p-wong1124]

@wai2016 inside the event, I had put the description and also imgURL into it ;)

[robbieyang]

Every newly joined member will automatically assigned an empty string to joinedTeam(the new child node) in firebase @p-wong1124

[robbieyang]

It may be useful in future if I store the name of the team that the member has joined in the firebase @wai2016

[robbieyang]

Another question: Are you going to remove the name of members in the firebase? @p-wong1124

[wai2016]

Awesome. 😄

[p-wong1124]

@robbieyang if you ensure that crossing out name can keep member's record on the event/member then it is ok. But I don't have plan on that :smiley: BTW it just for easy access for member's name :yum:

[p-wong1124]

I have updated the stated structure plz check

main changes:

in /event/abc/admin/

param <-- contains maxTeamNum, minTeamNum, imgURL, description owner <-- who can edit the parameters of param and perform group merge (force)
