0.04 Dev Journal
Overall a lot of cleanup and got to a functional state of playing episodes. Most basic end to end subscribe->get->play
- Picker for the notes application side of things
- This allows picking between the dev and public stream environments
- Needed this because I left myself in the dev env at the start of last week
- Case switch statement for this. Toggles the API path
- New structure for the podcast app
- Outer:
- Overall application state
SceneDelegateAppDelegatePodcastState
- Extensions:
- Have these extensions to encode URLs properly.
- Remove HTML from the JSON response that I get from the API.
- And then networking helpers is kind of this thing where, at least it lets me, download this image kind of cleanly and I can just call this.
- I don't know if this is the right way to do things. I don't think so
- Persistent Layer (Core Data):
- Local storage & persistent state management
- Needs a lightweight data management layer on top
PersistentPodcast- Can convert from Podcast or to it for UI
PersistentEpisode- Can convert from Episode or to it for UI
- Models
- Decode JSON Response and use it in UI
- Now everything is conforming to
Codableto useJSONDecoder()- This is quite nice
- These are Episode and Podcast
- Internal
- Raw JSON that I got from the response so I don't have to hit the API as much.
- Something that I definitely need to integrate but I haven't haven't done yet.
- Views
- Podcast
PodcastSearchView- Does the heavy lifting
- Decodes JSON and fetches images async
- May need to use a
DataTaskPublisherin the future
PodcastSubscriptionView- Display current subs -> get to episodes
PodcastListItemView- Perhaps once list item created fetch image? Probably not
- On subscribe write to the DB with
UIImageData
- Episode
PodcastEpisodesView- Get episodes for a certain podcast
- Can fetch from API
- First gets local DB data
- Refresh button in navbar to get latest podcasts
- Worried about performance from all the DB queries
EpisodeListItemView- Play and pause buttons for a podcast and starts playing
PodcastInboxView
- Other
ContentView- Minor modification to add
NowPlaying
NowPlaying- Capture podcast that is playing and control it anywhere
- Bugs:
- Multiple running ticks when playing/pausing podcasts
- Create multiple
AVSessions, should reuse. - No caching
CoreDatasubscribe is all messed up, bad state management, just refactor this- Relationships not fully managed yet
- not loading images for episodes
- sortDescriptors
- Next:
- Begin integration into the main notes app.
- Either I will integrate it there or do some interprocess communication
- Then all of that will go out to server, maybe it will record completely independently of each other to the server.
- I don't know
- I think they should be sharing some kind of context I don't always want it to go out to the server.
- I don't know if this will be one app or separate apps I haven't decided yet. So these are all things to experiment with, I probably will do both because I can mostly just copy and paste.
- I might be using closure for the back end
- I, ideally would like run once and I can always push updates to it.
- I also would like it to be able to people to add their own API's in kind of a thing however you want to add handlers in. That would be great.
- This week was fixing all the mistakes I made last week, and making the code way easier to navigate and update, because it was a real pain to work with before it's still kind of a pain, but for me I can understand it in its current state. And I removed a lot of dependencies where I have to update, everything everywhere that still exists, and that's what I'm going to try to abstract away in the future.
