Bug Fixes and live data

Hours: 9

What all I completed

• All Bugs mentioned in the previous devlog have been fixed.
• All data related to stocks (except for login page) has been connected to stock database so that all data is live
• Created multiple components for stock details and page ( in development )

Changes in details

Live data

• Finnhub API was scrapped to use only YFinance as the main Data provider.
• A task was scheduled to run every 5 minutes to update all data to stock database
• Instead of all pages calling the API for live data, all pages ping the database, which is updated as mentioned above

Bug Fixes

Live data

Pages that now have live data:
- Landing page ( Markets page and moving section )
- Watchlist part
- Trending stocks ( With sparklines )
- Floating stock cards

Problems faced

• I sometimes got timed out cause I called the API too many times
• I had to switch to the database metnod so i could reduce api queries.

User button

• This was a small fix, but took a surprising amount of time 😭😭
• The logout button is now hidden under the user initial button on top right

File cleanup

• Extra blocks of code, specifically fake js data was removed
• Fairly strightforward

Stock listing page

• This is still in development
• I have created multiple components
  • Navbar
  • Details
  • Right panel
    • Buy and sell stocks
    • Related stocks
    • User Ownership
  • Left panel
    • Stock progression chart
    • Conpany overview
    • Finance
    • Company News
    • Statistics
    • Order History

All compoenents come together inside a stock page that will be displayed

• This page is stil under development.

• I am planning to only use fake data for now, the i will slowly progress to real data from API and database

• There is very little js that i have written for this part till now, but there are more files planed

Everything I learnt

• Its best to store all data from apis specially if multiple pages need to visit it, cause well then it doesnt reach limit.

• Revised JS and how to put together animations

• Again, I already listed everything I learnt and did in the bug fixes :)

Role of AP

• AI only helped he understand the error specifics
• All code is written by me

Current bugs

• The stock page is not complete(it is far from done)
• I dont have any rn but theyll pop up

Next steps

• Complete the stock page
• Connect it to the database
• Allow for buying and selling
• FIX ALL BUGS ( They always come )

Thats about it !! Thanks for the read
