Hi!
Thanks a lot for the PR, those are a lot of good changes this project desperately needed. Also advancing a lot in the matchmaking feature
I've left some comments I'll like to address before merging.
Again, thanks a lot for your contributions, and sorry for taking so long to review.
Thanks.

Is there any reason for changing this from the async/await syntax into the callback one?

The primary reason for switching to callback syntax is due to NeDB's native callback-based design, avoiding the extra overhead of wrapping those methods with promises unless necessary. With callbacks, the execution is immediate, and the function typically returns as soon as the operation is complete. (we are getting closer to VHS standarts)

Giving this is a REST API (i.e: most of the overhead is the HTTP+TCP handshake) I doubt a microtask queuing (that's all the overhead a promise gives) is really relevant but it is an improvement, so thanks for doing it and for your patience explaining it

Not required for merging, but this could be an ENUM

Yes, you're correct, I will make it as enum's

I'm not sure I understand the design here, do we only have a queue?

Initial testing for me, we can do more here like:
queueId: string; // Unique ID for the queue (game mode, region, etc.)
gameMode: string; // The game mode for the queue, e.g., 'ranked', 'casual'
region: string; // Region, e.g., 'NA', 'EU'
combineRegions: regions; // Combine NA and EU for more players
players: string[]; // Players waiting in the queue
This part can be deleted, because I was testing...

Ok, knowing it's a test, it's good to merge. About your suggestion, we're not gonna use regions yet, also, a single region may have several queues (for instance, several monsters queue). I was hoping to have Matchmaking Sessions in the Array instead of players themselves

Thinking more about this, I just don't think I want the matchmaking data on the database. It doesn't make sense because if a server restarts we're losing the websocket connections anyway, so all matchmaking info is irrelevant.
This is not blocking for merging the pull request because it can be deleted anyway

Ok so if you agree I'll add it back

This will be good to merge once I redo the removed comment. Thanks again! |
