Planning Poker Websocket Design

Production server is running at ws://ufg-planning-poker.herokuapp.com/planning-poker

to connect to the server:

using the socket.io-client library connect to ws://{host}/planning-poker

Public actions

• join a room by emitting a "join" event with payload

  {
      id: "optional room id",
      username: "my screen name"
  }
  

  • If no id is sent a new room will be created with a randomly generated unique id

  • creating a room automatically sets the creator as the room owner. Room owners cannot be changed. To 'change' an owner just create a new room

• To send your estimate to the server emit a "set_estimate" event with payload

  "estimate as string"
  

Valid estimates include, although not limited to, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, "", ?, pass, ∞, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Estimate values will be masked with "X" until the cards are flipped

Owner only actions

• as the owner you may flip the cards by emitting "flip_cards"

  • this will return the state the current state of the room and expose the values selected by participants.
  • once cards are flipped participants will no longer be able to change estimates

• as the owner you may reset the game room by emitting "reset_cards"

  • all estimates will be reset and flipped status will revert to false
