Actifit Bot Development Updates - November 9 2018
Repository
https://github.com/mcfarhat/actifit-bot
Introduction
Actifit bot hosts the integral core part of the Actifit project and its reward process. As the project grows, we continuously work on improving this core functionality.
For this round, we have implemented several new features, modifications and fixes to enhance Actifit, including new API endpoints, beneficiary payment auto-rewards claim, hourly constraints on reports eligible for rewards, as well as few other fixes.
Below you will find more details about this update.
Technology Stack
The bot is scripted using Node.js, and connects to a MongoDB instance for storing and retrieving values.
Work Done
Create new API endpoints: Commit
- Create new endpoint for retrieving a post's full AFIT Pay reward. This allows filtering based on user and post url.
- Create new endpoint for gathering total number of AFIT tokens paid out based on charity-based activity
- Create new endpoint for retrieving number of AFIT tokens rewarded in return for STEEM/SBD based on Full AFIT Pay option
- Refactor post reward functionality to allow code reuse across new end points.
Implement Auto-rewards claims full AFIT Pay: Commit
- Implemented a new functionality to automated beneficiary rewards claims for the full AFIT beneficiary account so that every hour a check is made if beneficiary rewards are available, and hence to claim them.
Add hourly constraint between reports: Commit
- Implemented new constraint to prevent two reports from being voted if they have less than 6 hours difference. This is mostly to prevent issues with Steem BC timing out and sending incorrect response that post was not created, but also to circumvent potential abuse.
Implement Minor Fixes: Commit
- Implement a fix to tackle number of retries issues upon voting
- Implement a fix to skip end date target for fetching beneficiary rewards for full afit pay option
Roadmap
Further continuous improvements are planned for Actifit core functionality, particularly as the project grows, starting with the development of new endpoints to improve the website, app, and stats/info gathering processes.

Contributions are accepted as pull requests to the official github repo.
We are having continuous tasks assigned to different contributors to our project. More official tasks are continuously announced :)
Thanks for the contribution, @mcfarhat! Cool to see you adding new endpoints and the automatic claiming of rewards especially. I've been working on my own JavaScript project for the last couple of days and have been using async / await as well. Coming from Python it took me a while to wrap my head around, so it's good to see examples of others using it.
I see you have an
eslintrc.jsin your repository and ESLint in your dev dependencies, but you don't seem to be using it. My configuration (I use airbnb, I don't know what standard is like in comparison) is showing quite a lot of things that should be changed (likevartoconstetc.). I'd also recommend installing Prettier, as that will also help with formatting everything correctly.Your contribution has been evaluated according to Utopian policies and guidelines, as well as a predefined set of questions pertaining to the category.

Thanks @amosbastian
JS is fun, no? :)
I hear you about await and async, promises too, they're amazing stuff. It took me a while to wrap my head around them too, being an old Javascript guy who hasn't seen this stuff before lol
Yea we do have ESLint, I'm still to explore how to properly use it. I'm still coding with NP++ :D .. tried to move to Atom, still favored NP++.
Ill check out Prettier!
Haha it's not really that fun to me yet, but I'm getting more used to it. It's just frustrating when I know exactly how to do something in Python, but it takes me hours to do it in JavaScript because of my inexperience.
I am using Visual Studio Code with the ESLint plugin, with ESLint and Prettier also installed with npm. Just followed this video to get everything to work, and it's really great in my opinion.
Thank you for your review, @amosbastian! Keep up the good work!
I still think having a feature that allows two or more @actifit members to have a daily/weekly or monthly challenge with the opportunity to make a wager would be a great feature.
(Or you could bet that days tokens that are going to be distributed when the competition ends and the rewards are paid by actifit kind of how you have the rewards set up for donations.. or however you would want to go about it, the details don't really matter right now).
I think that would really push a lot of people to be way more active. Having an additional challenge or bet with a friend, that actually pays you a reward if you win... That would encourage me a hell of a lot more than just bragging rights. just sayin..
And isn't that what @actifit is really all about? Getting people more excited about fitness and health by monetarily rewarding them.
yes i remember our chat from before. We do have ideas for increasing competitiveness too, the queue is just too lengthy, we will get to it ;)
Good stuff! I just wanted to give u a reminder 😉 I'm sure people have given u lots of great ideas..
thank for Actifit efforts ! :)
Actifit ♥ LOVE !
