- Server side rendering. Requests are polled and cached every 3min and 24 hours and cached on the server. Then delivered to clients with no 'compute' latency on the server. Basically a shared cache. Less work for avinors server.
- Set up own server that polls and cach the data in e.g redis locally. Then clients query this server instead. Same concept as SSR but does not require a SSR framework atleast.
- Client side queries on relevant aiports only. Longer time per fetch if on switch, but can be alliviated with with private caching, seeing alot of the same airports will be queried each time. Can also use last_update to reduce payload each time.
- Client side fetch-all-data-every-3-minutes. Longer initial wait time, more memory that is unused, more queries to server, but once loaded it can give a super fast user experience after initial load.
Client side queries on relevant aiports only
- Might not be ideal, but fastest to implement and no server involved
- Uses a cors server on heroku to prevent CORS errors
Clone repo and run yarn && yarn vite
In addition, the application is deployed to two urls:
- with a external proxy cerver for CORS: avinor-api-corsproxy.surge.sh.
- without any proxy stuff. You need to use a chrome extention or something: avinor-api-nocorsproxy.surge.sh.
- webworkers?
- Might be nice, but as payload is small the parsing/formatting time might very well be equal to the copy operation between the treads.
- shared vs local cache?
- Depends on the approach (ssr or client-side). Would prefer not to add custom cache logic atleast. Fetch API and XHR has build in cache with ttt, but might have problems with server headeres(cors etc)
- test?
- No. Always nice but not on this small project
- the API returns different formats based on if a airport has 0, 1, or 2+ flights
- some flights might not match
- CORS using a https://github.com/Rob--W/cors-anywhere server to proxy the request.
- to inconsisten with typescript () and ({}) inputs.
- takes some shortcuts with type 'any' when it gets complicated. Also still some typescript errors lying around. Not good.
- incosistent with type/interface naming
- not using update_key to minimize the paylaod
- error handling not ideal
- error handling for CORS not ideal
- visulize unmatched flights not ideal
- responsiveness not ideal. Only works on a certain range of screen sizes (not on mobile)
- not added proper private caching
- pushed directly to master. But only member so not the worst thing that can happen
- add new remote repo
- git remote add origin git@github.com:andykamp/FlyMe.git
- git branch -M main
- git push -u origin main
