Job Test Gamesys

Hi!

This is my solution to the job test!

Run server

You have to install deps for the server

pip install -r requirements-vendor.txt -t lib
pip install -r requirements-local.txt -t lib

And then:

dev_appserver.py app.yaml

A running instance can be found here: https://job-test-gamesys.appspot.com/friends

You can run tests via:

python manage.py tests

Build the client

You have to build the client if you want to run it locally. It's written in React.JS and packed with Webpack:

cd friends/app
npm install

Build with:

./node_modules/.bin/gulp build

You can also check lint and run tests with:

./node_modules/.bin/gulp lint
./node_modules/.bin/gulp test

The Friends List Problem

The Facebook Graph API v2 does not allow to get the full Friends list of a User, but it returns only the ones that have granted permission to the same App. In other word, a App can see only the its own users.

  • Solution: use taggable_friends instead of friends call in Graph per user:
    • Pro: you can get the whole list of the users
    • Cons:
      • it does not return the Facebook ID of the user, so you can't make associations in DB between users and friends
      • webhooks cannot work
