🤩 Hive Blockchain dApps Dev Update: Distriator – Backend Magic & Caching Chronicles 🧙‍♂️🖥️

in HiveDevs2 days ago

👋 Namaste Hive Community Members!

Hope everyone’s thriving—and not just because Hive’s price makes shopping fun! 🛒😄 My super squad and I are working at lightspeed 🚀 to keep improving Hive Blockchain with heart and humor. Distriator, our beloved dApp, is getting some serious backend love today. Buckle up for debugging mischief and code wizardry! 🧙‍♂️


🤔 The Real Headache: Reports Edition

  • Every Distriator report fetches its data straight from hive-api-node. Ouch! That’s a lot of round trips. 🏃‍♂️
  • We use dhive in our React app to snag account histories and stats. 📊
  • And every time users select “last week,” “last month,” or any time period, it leads to... loading spinners galore (spin like a DJ! 🎵).
  • The pain? Users wait ages as we fetch, fetch, and fetch again for every report and every date change.
  • So, we decided to end the madness (and the spinning)! 🌀

🧀 Cheese? No—Cache! (Much Tastier)

cache

  • Why fetch again and again when you can just... cache it? 🤓✨
  • Client-side caching? Nah, we aren’t risking that mess.
  • Backend is the hero! Using MongoDB, with a cool collection called transaction-history, we're hoarding only the juiciest data.
  • Now, Distriator grabs report data from our custom backend—so fast it's practically warp speed 🚀.
  • Your report loads like magic—and we don’t fry your device’s memory either 🧠.

🤷 How Does This Even Work? (Script Adventures)

How

  • Talk is cheap, they say... Coding this? Easier said than done. 🧩
  • We wanted to cache everything from the @thedistriator account. NO block gets left behind. 🧱
  • Enter the script: our trusty sidekick. It processes block by block, on a relentless mission not to miss a single transaction. 🕵️‍♂️

🏁 Getting the Head Block (And Not Losing Yours)

Getting Head block

  • First, we sniff out the head block—the latest jewel in the Hive crown 👑.
  • But, do we go all 7 years back in time, like blockchain archaeologists? NO way! We need a strategic starting point.

🪄 Our Magical Starting Block: 100096847

Interesting number

  • Why this number? Because we’ve already safely cached a ton in the database. No one wants to relive the entire blockchain... trust us! 😅
  • Block 100096847—it’s the chosen one.

⚡ Stay Updated: Tracking the Last Processed Block

Keep track of last processed block

  • How do we avoid repeating ourselves like a broken NPC? 😆
  • We record the last processed block number in the DB, update it once the block’s noble task is done.
  • This way, we never lose the thread! 🧵

🔄 Processing Each Block: Like a Sushi Conveyor Belt 🍣

Process Each Block

  • Each block arrives, bringing a bundle of transactions.
  • We examine them with eagle eyes for those involving @thedistriator, then log 'em (and celebrate every find with a mini dance 💃).

🚦 Real Results: Console Output That Makes Us Cheer!

Sample Console Output

  • Test claims = proper logs! Victory at last. Script's working, code's alive, and our hearts are happy. 🎉

Does your supersquad include me 🙂😁

Of course @weone
It includes you.
Without your subtle hints to different techs, options, where will we go?
