Im using the composer docker image.
To run the project -> docker-compose up --build , open http://localhost:5001/index.php/ and open the console. you can checkout the pixels.json.
A. Around 4 hours total.
A. I would set up a simple express app with 2 routes: GET / -> return some basic html POST /api/pixel -> save data to a file
I would also use fs module to save data to a file, maybe add some middleware to parse data.
exists on the file/DB each time the app is reloaded)
A. We will need to fetch for 2 random parents each time we want to create a new pixel.
This is actually a better solution now that im thinking about it, it shouldn't be hard to implement...
Remove this line -> unlink($GLOBALS['jsonFile']);
And work with a MSSQL server instead of a json file, that will improve performance as the population grows.
A. I would Implement a nice way to save the relation between the pixels (add the relevant fields when you save the data to the JSON file). I would add parentAId: int and parentBId: int, then we will need to check 2 things:
- That the current pixel id we have is not equal to parentAId or parentBId (prevent
parent pixel with their direct child pixel) - If the pixel has parentAId and parentBId, then he is a child, and we need to make sure we are fetching a new one with different parentAId or parentBId.(Pixels of the same parents))
Thank you for your time!
