Suggestion: Cards names in chat

[guirto]

First of all, congrats on a great job. Can't wait to see it finished. If it is something I can do, I will be glad to help. I'm a web developer, and can help on javascript, jquery, html and mongodb.

I want to make a suggestion. What if card names in chat offers a card view when hovering? Just like when you hover an actual card.

Best regards.
Víctor.

Hi, I like the idea and will add it to the TODO list. The current development focus on the game engine so it might take a while before it's done unless someone takes it up. In the meanwhile you can try this chrome plugin that provides the functionality https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/netrunner-lookup/falbpbbdomlkdjlfippfjopgihdekanf?hl=en

I'm trying to implement this, but I have no knowledge about om/react etc. If someone want's to help me, I described my problem here: #328

I'm making progress.

You can take a look here: https://i.imgur.com/HWxlWG7.gif
or see my branch here: https://github.com/DominicKexel/netrunner/tree/cards

Currently I pass a string like [Paige Piper|08004] to the client, so the client knows what URL to display.

I would like the players to be able to also simply type the card name, and the preview should automatically work, as this would also allow me to let the server side mostly unchanged.

(Right know a user could type [Something|A random card id] to mess with the preview)

I was thinking of fetching all cards (just :title and :code) once from the database (maybe store it locally?) and then look up if I find a card title in the message once it gets displayed, and attach the event handler with the correct card code.

Thoughts?

All the cards data are already fetched on init and kept in memory on the client side. You can access the cards array with (:cards @app-state).

Based on the card name you can look up the card code to display the card image. Have a look at cardbrowser.cljs as an example.

Thanks, good to know.
