Database structure

[Tomas Veras]

We should take a look at the database guides firebase gives us here and set here any feedbacks for future enhancements.

Following is the structure for the party object:

const party = {
  id: 'A234AF',
  createdAt: 'July 24, 2018 at 8:31:19 PM UTC-4'
  moderator: '34bs486nkr84',
  name: 'Werewolf village'
  players: {
    '34bs486nkr84': {
      timestamp: '20180621T041748Z',
      card: {},
    },
    '9m7uf46nkr84': {
      timestamp: '20180621T041749Z',
      card: {},
    },
  },
};

I suggest adding the player's name to the players' object and prepare to the keep alive structure for #15 and #16.

const party = {
  id: 'A234AF',
  createdAt: 'July 24, 2018 at 8:31:19 PM UTC-4',
  moderatorId: '34bs486nkr84',
  moderator: 'Jim',
  name: 'Werewolf village',
  players: {
    '34bs486nkr84': {
      joinedAt: '20180621T041749Z',
      name: 'Bill',
      card: {},
    },
    '9m7uf46nkr84': {
      joinedAt: '20180621T041749Z',
      name: 'Sam',
      card: {},
    },
  },
  keepAlive: {
    '34bs486nkr84': '20180621T041749Z',
    '9m7uf46nkr84': '20180621T041749Z',
  },
};

After a meeting with @wistcc and @mamodom, the following is the suggested structure:

const party = {
  id: 'A234AF',
  createdAt: 'July 24, 2018 at 8:31:19 PM UTC-4',
  name: 'Werewolf village',
  players: {
    '34bs486nkr84': {
      joinedAt: '20180621T041749Z',
      name: 'Jim',
      moderator: true,
    },
    '34bs486nkr84': {
      joinedAt: '20180621T041749Z',
      name: 'Bill',
    },
    '9m7uf46nkr84': {
      joinedAt: '20180621T041749Z',
      name: 'Sam',
    },
  },

  keepAlive: {
    '34bs486nkr84': '20180621T041749Z',
    '9m7uf46nkr84': '20180621T041749Z',
  },

  game: {
    '34bs486nkr84': {
      name: 'Bill',
      card: { key: 'villager', role:'Villager', description:'Find the werewolves and lynch them.' },
      alive: true,
    },
    '9m7uf46nkr84': {
      name: 'Sam',
      card: { key: 'werewolf', role:'Werewolf', description:'Eat a villager each night.' },
      alive: true,
    },
  }
};

Due to the high resource usage of firebase when sending the snapshots to the subscribed users, we have to update the structure to the following.

const party = {
  id: 'A234AF',
  createdAt: 'July 24, 2018 at 8:31:19 PM UTC-4',
  name: "Jim's party",
  gameInProgress: false,
  players: {
    '34bs486nkr84': {
      joinedAt: '20180621T041749Z',
      name: 'Jim',
      moderator: true,
    },
    '34bs486nkr84': {
      joinedAt: '20180621T041749Z',
      name: 'Bill',
    },
    '9m7uf46nkr84': {
      joinedAt: '20180621T041749Z',
      name: 'Sam',
    },
  },
};

const keepAlive = {
  '34bs486nkr84': '20180621T041749Z',
  '9m7uf46nkr84': '20180621T041749Z',
};

const game = {
  '34bs486nkr84': {
    name: 'Bill',
    card: { key: 'villager', role:'Villager', description:'Find the werewolves and lynch them.' },
    alive: true,
  },
  '9m7uf46nkr84': {
    name: 'Sam',
    card: { key: 'werewolf', role:'Werewolf', description:'Eat a villager each night.' },
    alive: true,
  },
}

We need to inform to players when the game is over so here is the last structure to meet the necessity.

const party = {
  id: 'A234AF',
  createdAt: 'July 24, 2018 at 8:31:19 PM UTC-4',
  name: "Jim's party",
  gameInProgress: false,
  players: {
    '34bs486nkr84': {
      joinedAt: '20180621T041749Z',
      name: 'Jim',
      moderator: true,
    },
    '34bs486nkr84': {
      joinedAt: '20180621T041749Z',
      name: 'Bill',
    },
    '9m7uf46nkr84': {
      joinedAt: '20180621T041749Z',
      name: 'Sam',
    },
  },
};

const keepAlive = {
  '34bs486nkr84': '20180621T041749Z',
  '9m7uf46nkr84': '20180621T041749Z',
};

const game = {
  gameOver: false,
  players: {
    '34bs486nkr84': {
      name: 'Bill',
      card: { key: 'villager', role:'Villager', description:'Find the werewolves and lynch them.' },
      alive: true,
    },
    '9m7uf46nkr84': {
      name: 'Sam',
      card: { key: 'werewolf', role:'Werewolf', description:'Eat a villager each night.' },
      alive: true,
    },
  }
}
