MovieNight is an app for people that prefer watching movies than arguing on titles.
It comes from an idea I had with my love, when a day we spent more time choosing the movie than actually watching it. 😅
I thought we could create a personal movie watchlist (with movies that you want to watch or re-watch), so when you are with your friends or your partner, the app cross-compares the lists and tells which films you both want to watch. Easy, no?
- Search for movies and add them to your watchlist (TMDB api)
- Search for people and send friendship requests
Currently we have the following models: User, Movie, Wish, and Friendship.
Wish represents the movie that a User wants to watch, it's basically a lookup table between User and Movie.
When the user logs in and searches for a movie, the RemoteMoviesController makes a request to the TMDB api and presents a list with the requested movies. When the user clicks on a movie, we create (if needed) a new record on the movies table (caching some info from tmdb), then we create a new Wish that relates the Movie with the User.
Friendship represent a friendship request: has a sender and a receiver. To represent that the
receiver has confirmed the friendship, we just fill the confirmation date on the friendship,
otherwise remains a pending request.
