This week a lot of my time was spent prepping for the interim demo. In particular, I was able to show off users being able to have their own profile pages along with links to separate pages for each of their cats. On the cat’s page we can see a line graph displaying the data from their json file. I also have a button on the user profile’s page which upon clicking refreshes the cat’s database with the updated information in the json file, and hence the graph as well.
The next steps would be to get the graph to contain the updated information without having to click on the button as well as having an email system which sends an email to the designated user upon detecting a sudden change in the cat’s water and food amount. I need to start working with MeeDm on now having a fully integrated system between the web app and her python scripts where the scripts can access the json files created by the web app, read and write to them, and then send an email to the user if necessary.
I am currently on track based off of the updated Gantt chart and am excited as we begin to enter the final stretch of the class.
