Frontend Update: Applying the New HTTP API

Hey everyone, let's dive into an important update for our frontend. We're talking about applying the updated HTTP API based on the recent backend changes. This is a crucial step to ensure everything runs smoothly and efficiently. We'll go over the key points, why it matters, and what we need to do.

Resolution: Key Takeaways and Final Thoughts

So, what's the deal, folks? We're essentially updating the frontend to align with the latest backend changes, specifically the refactored and updated HTTP API. This means we need to make some adjustments to how the frontend interacts with the backend. It's like updating the language the frontend speaks to understand the backend better. This ensures data flows correctly and that all features work as expected. To be clear, we are updating the frontend to the new changes based on new pull request of backend.

Here’s the gist: We're making sure our frontend stays in sync with the backend. This update is about keeping everything consistent and avoiding any potential problems down the road. It's a bit like upgrading your phone’s operating system to keep up with the latest apps. Without this update, the frontend might not understand the new backend features or could even break down. Ultimately, this ensures the frontend can properly display all the info, handle all the requests, and offer the functionality that our users expect. So, in the end, it boils down to making sure everything works seamlessly. The main goal here is a seamless experience for our users, and this update is an integral part of that goal. By making these changes, we're not just ensuring our app works; we are making it better. The updated API brings improvements and new functionalities to the table, and this update allows the frontend to harness those.

Background: Why We're Doing This

Alright, let’s talk about the situation, what we need to report, and the context around it. The HTTP API on the backend has been refactored and updated. This is a significant change, and it affects how the frontend communicates with the backend. This means the way the frontend requests data, sends data, and receives data has changed. We need to update the frontend to use the new API endpoints, data formats, and any other changes that have been implemented on the backend. Think of it like a restaurant changing its menu. If you're a regular customer (the frontend), you need to learn the new menu to order your favorite dishes (get the data) or new dishes (use new features). This update ensures that the frontend can correctly fetch and use all the available data and functionalities. Failing to do this could lead to the frontend displaying incorrect information, features not working, or the entire application breaking down.

We need to make these changes to ensure compatibility and take advantage of all the improvements the updated API offers. This is all about keeping everything synchronized and optimized for a better user experience. By updating the frontend, we guarantee that all the current features, as well as any new features the backend team develops, are fully functional. Essentially, we are making our app future-proof and ready for the future. The whole goal is to make sure our frontend is ready to work with the changes and new functions that the backend has.

Importance: Why This Matters

So, why is this important, right? This update is super important because it directly impacts the functionality and user experience of our application. Without this update, the frontend will not be able to correctly interpret the data from the backend. It's like trying to watch a movie in a language you don’t understand; you won’t get the full picture. This can lead to a range of issues, including features not working as expected, incorrect data being displayed, and even the application crashing. It also ensures that the frontend can properly use all the functionalities offered by the backend's new API, like new features and optimized data handling. Think of the API as the bridge between the frontend and the backend. If that bridge isn’t updated, traffic will be affected, and people (our users) won’t be able to get where they need to go. By aligning the frontend with the new HTTP API, we ensure that users get the best possible experience, that the application works seamlessly, and that all features are functioning as intended.

So, what are the potential consequences of not updating the frontend? First, users might not be able to access all the features, which will disappoint them. Second, there could be functional errors, which will be annoying for all of us. Third, the application's performance might suffer. In the end, it will make our product look unprofessional. To sum up, updating the frontend is not just a good idea; it is important. It is vital to the success of our project and the satisfaction of our users. Ignoring it could have serious negative effects on the whole project. The frontend should be updated because the updated HTTP API is not profitable on the frontend. By making the change, we will have a product that looks professional, is easy to use, and works as well as it possibly can.

Plan: What's Next?

Okay, so what’s the game plan? How are we going to make this happen? Here’s a general outline of the steps we'll be taking. This plan isn't set in stone, and we can adjust it as needed:

1. Review the Backend Changes: The first step is to thoroughly review the changes made in the backend, specifically in the pull request [https://github.com/SeongTeam/ggrim-back-main/pull/45]. This involves understanding the new API endpoints, data formats, and any other changes.

2. Identify Affected Frontend Components: We will identify all the frontend components that interact with the backend API.

3. Update API Calls: We will then update the code in these components to use the new API endpoints and data formats. This will involve modifying the way we make requests, handle responses, and process data.

4. Testing: Testing will be done to ensure everything works as expected. We will test all the functionalities that interact with the backend API to make sure there are no issues and that the data is displayed correctly. We will test by using different scenarios to make sure that everything functions properly under different conditions.

5. Deployment: Finally, we’ll deploy the updated frontend to the production environment, which will make the changes available to our users.

Remember, this plan is just a guideline. As we start the process, we may need to make some adjustments, and this is completely normal. The main objective is to make sure that we get everything up and running correctly, and we can make adjustments to the plan as needed.

Additional Context
