If anyone would like to refactor the messy code and teach me industry best practices or save me from callback hell, please let me know at changchuming@gmail.com. Thank you.

Usage

You can set up your own client to perform other functions besides monitoring laundry. Here is a list of post requests you can do to the server. Examples are written using jquery's post, but you can use any method to send the post request.

Clusters

To add a cluster of machines

$.post(server + '/addcluster', {name: clusterName}, function(data, status, xhr) {
  // Returns true or false
});

To get all clusters with their respective machines

$.post(server + '/getallclusters', function(data, status, xhr) {
  // Returns all clusters as json object or false
});

Machines

To add a machine

$.post(server + '/addmachine', {clustername: clusterName, type: machineType, timeout: machineTimeout}, function(data, status, xhr) {
  // Returns true or false
});

To get machine usage

$.post(server + '/getmachineusage', {clustername: clusterName, index: machineIndex}, function(data, status, xhr) {
  // Returns username or false
});

To set machine usage (userID is optional)

$.post(server + '/setmachineusage', {clustername: clusterName, index: machineIndex, userid: userID}, function(data, status, xhr) {
  // Returns true or false
});

To clear machine usage (userID is optional)

$.post(server + '/clearmachineusage', {clustername: clusterName, index: machineIndex, userid: userID}, function(data, status, xhr) {
  // Returns true or false
});

Users

To add a user

$.post(server + '/adduser', {id: userID, name: userName, number: userPhoneNumber}, function(data, status, xhr) {
  // Returns true or false
});

To check whether user is in database

$.post(server + '/checkuser', {id: userID}, function(data, status, xhr) {
  // Returns username if user exists, else returns false
});
