Hello Hive Community Members 🐝💜,
Today’s update is all about Distriator – our cashback-powered Hive dApp! With Distriator, you spend Hive Dollars 🪙 at a whitelisted business ➝ open the app ➝ claim instant cashback 💸. Easy, right? Well... not always 😅. Let's dive into the dev updates!
🤯 Problem Statement
- Feedback from @starkerz: "Claiming takes too long!"
- Current flow = app checks consumer Hive account history, business Hive account history, verifies posts, post details, and THEN rewards cashback.
- All that blockchain detective work 🔍 slows down the process... leaving users hanging like "ummm... 👀".
🕵️♂️ Let's Break It Down
- When a user launches the app, it loads ALL businesses.
- This alone pulls 3-4 MB of data 😱.
- Naturally, that slows things down ⌛.
- So, step 1 ➝ make business-loading much, much faster.
🗂️ Caching to the Rescue
- Tried pagination 📑 … but it turned out just as slow. ❌
- New idea: Cache data locally!
- Instead of downloading everything again and again, store it in the app. Refresh only when needed.
- But then came the million-dollar question 😎: "How do we keep cache in sync with the server?"
🔄 Data Sync Like a Pro
Solution: We added 3 magical attributes to the database 🪄
- 🗑️
isDeleted➝ easily detect deleted records. - ✏️
modifiedAt➝ track updates smoothly. - 🌱
createdAt➝ spot new entries instantly.
💻 MongoDB Query Superpowers
- New query: fetch only businesses modified after a specific date.
- This avoids breaking production logic 🙅.
- Added an extra function for the data-sync capability.
👉 Screenshot of query:
🎯 New API Route /modified-after
- A safe new API route introduced ➝
/modified-after. - Pass the
date-time-stampin ISO8601 format 📅. - Response: only the modified records after that date. Perfect for sync! ⚡
📜 Documentation Love 💖
Because devs love docs 📚— we updated API documentation too!
Anyone can now implement the sync system easily.
🚀 What's Next
- Backend ✅ done!
- Next ➝ integrate this shiny new API into frontend / web-app 🎨.
- Once live ➝ business loading = super-fast speed boost 💨.
- Stay tuned for the React.js integration post coming soon!
