#describes the back-end server architecture of this project

Organization

The app uses REST to facilitate mobile access later on.

  • GET requests fetch pages.
    • /user
      • no email supplied -> new user page
      • email supplied -> user info page or modification page, based on cookie.
    • /want or /have
      • no id supplied -> new listing page
      • id supplied -> listing view or modification page, based on cookie.
      (if the user has no cookie -> always point to sign in page)
  • PUT methods modify pages
    • /user/:email -> modify user info
    • /want/:id or /have/:id -> modify listing
  • POST methods create new listings or users
    • /user -> create new user
    • /want or /have -> create new listing
  • DELETE methods remove listings or users
    • /user/:email -> remove user
    • /want/:id or /have/:id -> remove listing

ALSO:

This is an event-based system. Every time a user executes a (non-idempotent) action, this application will send a message to all other users who might be affected. This is 2010. We CAN have results of searches and posts show up immediately, so why not?
