[Stock-Exchange] Development of stock market service

Development
1

Hey!

To train myself, I developed a small service to query the Financial Modeling Prep API https://financialmodelingprep.com/ to display stock values.

Service Configuration

A new service tab to access the service configuration:

stockexchangeservice
stockexchangeservice1214×537 83.5 KB

I thought this section could have services like: « tell me jokes », « tell me where to eat », « traffic info »…

Dashboard

Displaying stock values on the dashboard:

stockexchangeinfo

Documentation

The readme contains some explanations and ideas for todos in user story mode

PS: I fixed the mistake visible in the screen

Really nice :slight_smile: Do you have any feedback on what seemed clear/ unclear when you started developing your service?

I would really like to improve the developer documentation and I’m open to any feedback

Although I don’t personally need it (for the moment), I think it’s really well done, thank you :slight_smile:

I’ve let the response mature a bit (== it has really festered over time):

What was really clear:

  • this is the post to install a Dev instance
  • what is expected on a pull request

What I would like to see improved:

  • A tree structure/detailed structure detailing which directory does what, for what. On paper, when discovering the structure, I took notes of this style:

  • Having some naming rules (I’ve seen managers and handlers, ways of testing that differed completely)

What would be missing for a dev who would like to try without being an expert:

  • a summary of the prerequisites/skills required (javascript, preact, docker)
  • A sample service in a simple hello world style (the one that exists could be simplified)
  • And the must (depending on the activity on service creation): a service skeleton generator (service creation, box creation, etc…) a bit like it is done on some platforms (Liferay, Magento, Plone…)

In the meantime, I’m green, the FMP api recently changed its pricing terms and on the free version, only US markets are available. So the only thing possible right now is to display the CAC40 (or US market stocks):frowning:
So I think this service will never be finalized (at least not as I imagined and surely not with FMP)

Thanks for your feedback @ProtZ :slight_smile:

Not a bad idea, that could be a great addition!

I closed the PR to clean up the list of PRs :slight_smile:

At least it would have given you some practice on Gladys development!
