Creating widgets using ISayYouDo platform

-




Hi folks, ISayYouDo is a web-based service which allow users to create chains of recipes(conditional statements), which are triggered based on changes to other web services. This time I’m going to explain how to use ISayYouDo platform and create simple widgets.
Let’s start, Type www.isayyoudo.io/developer/ in your browser. It’ll direct to above mentioned page. Let’s get started by clicking the button.


Once you logged in using the credentials, it’ll show the below page.
ISayYouDo is a platform where developers can build Say Boxes. Here I’m going to create an application to send lottery results via SMS.
The logical conditions of the application is, if user wants to get lottery results for selected lotteries, then he/she needs register to the application through ISYD(www.isayyoudo.io). Here we have to create say boxes for each command(for Input and the Output). Let’s call them In say box and Out say box. Once those boxes are created we need to map each other to complete the actions.
In Say box need to perform like: If user wants lottery results he need to register.
Out Say box need to perform like: Once user get registered he/she needs to get results for the selected lotteries.


Let’s create In Say box:

When creating the say box, In End point stands for the URL need to call when user get registered. Since user needs to get alerts by the developer, you might need to save user details on your database. This can be performed using In Endpoint. Delete Endpoint needs to perform when user want to unregister from the application.
When user get in to isayyoudo portal, he needs to select lottery board and register. In that process, Saybox UI comes to the party. Below image is called a SayBox UI.


Here the heading is: Daily Horoscope
Paragraph is: Choose your zodiac sign & click OK to continue
The type of the filter is: drop_down
For my application, I used below UI parameters.


[       {
                   "type": "heading",
                   "size": "1",
                   "value": "Daily Lottery Results",
                   "alignment": "left",
                   "validation": [
                          {
                                       "required": false
                          }          ]
      },
      {
                   "type": "paragraph",
                   "value": "Choose the lottery & click OK to continue",
                   "alignment": "left",
                   "validation": [
                         {
                                       "required": false
                                 }  ]
      },
      {
                "type" : "drop_down",
  "name" : "condition",  
  "label" : "Set Condition",
  "options" : [{ "1" : "Mahajana Sampatha" }, { "2" : "Jathika Sampatha" }],
  "value" : "1",
  "column" : "1" ,
  "validation" : [
{
                                       "required": true
                          }  ]  
}
]
Okay, now we are done with the In Say Box. You can create the out Say Box in the same way. Then we can map In and Out say boxes like below


Now we are done with Sequence mapping as well. Let’s wait for the approval of the admin on the above created sayboxes.
P.S: You need get access tokens from IdeaBiz to access the related APIs.(www.ideabiz.lk)   
I used above image to summarize what I have done so far. It contains 6 main steps in the process. 5 and 6 steps belong to Out Say Box.

Okay then, That’s all for today folks. Will get back to you soon with sample codes for these end points. ;)

CAP THEOREM

What’s C, A and P? Consistency is the easiest one. It roughly means that the clients get the same view of data. By saying that a system is consistent we often mean strong consistency, but it also can come in different flavors. Availability is a property saying that every request to a non-failing node will return a (meaningful) response. The response may not contain all data (so the harvest will not be 100%), but it should be useful for the client. Partition tolerance means that the system will continue working even if any number of messages sent between nodes is lost. This can be e.g. a network failure between two data centers, where nodes in each data center form a partition. Also note that a failure of any number of nodes forms a partition (it is not possible to distinguish between a network failure and a node failing and stopping to respond to messages). The basic statement of the CAP theorem is that, given the three properties of Consistency, Availability, and Pa...

Quality Assurance in Agile Software Development

What is software ‘Quality’? Quality software is reasonably bug-free, delivered on time and within budget, meets requirements and / or expectations, and is maintainable.Actually it is a subjective term. It’ll depend on who the ‘customer’ is and their overall influence in the scheme of things. Each type of customer will have their own slant on quality of the software. A wide angle view of the customers of a software development project might include end-users, customer acceptance testers, customer contract officers, customer’s management, the development organization’s management / accountants / testers / salespeople, future software maintenance engineers, stockholders, magazine columnists, etc. image courtesy: radiotherapie centre hospitalier university some of the software quality indicators are... progress of development stability of the software process compliance quality, evaluation effort Test coverage Defect detection efficiency ...

Hash Functions

-

One way functions that transfer character inputs to compressed output value named as hash functions. The input can be infinite(arbitrary), but the output always has a finite(fixed) set of characters. This produces a fingerprint of the file/message/data source: Wikipedia You cannot reverse the function and get the input value in Hash functions. If you have the content, you can use the hash function to calculate the hash value, but the other way around is not possible. If you have the hash value and the function, you can’t use it to get the input text. Below are sample scenarios that hash functions may become useless. If the function is reversible, it’s not secure. Hash values can be exposed to the public. Hence we don’t want someone seeing the hash value. The values may not collision resistant. There may be use cases with two unique input values return the same hash value. Since digital certificates/Signatures using hash fun...
