Would like to contribute to wger

[ikthedar]

Hello, as a Django developer, and having the experience of working with Rest API, I would like to contribute to the project.

[rolandgeider]

Hi @ikthedar ! Sure that would be great! Did you want to do something with the API or also other stuff?

[ikthedar]

Hi @rolandgeider, thanks for your reply!
Sure, I can do other stuff too if needed. I want to contribute in anyway the project requires.

[rolandgeider]

alright! I have some free days starting this Wednesday, I'll put together a list of possible things to do

[ikthedar]

Sounds good! Will be waiting for that.

found some time already :)

One of the focus points for the next release is synchronizing data with other fitness trackers #1111. This still needs the feature/ingredient-images branch merged, which will bring a celery queue to handle such kinds of actions in the background, but that is basically done, just needs a bit of polishing. For some of the imports we will probably need to do some changes in our backend/db, part of the issues will be to think/decide what could be synced and how.

Other possible useful issues (basically everything that is in https://github.com/wger-project/wger/milestone/11 ):

• properly document the API Document API with OpenAPI 3 #1127
• Use full text search for exercises and ingredient Use postgres' full text search #652
• Import ingredient data from the OFF REST API when it is scanned via the app Fetch product data from OFF when scanning #1012

Implementing something for #848 would also be really useful, but this will be a big feature and there is no conceptional work or anything like that done yet.

Besides that we plan on moving some of the frontend logic to react as to make it more dynamic. On this side there’s issues about just re-implementing this logic on the frontend (e.g. wger-project/react#11 ) but there are also „infrastructure“ issues like wger-project/react#381 or wger-project/react#437

Thanks @rolandgeider . I will look into these and get back to you if needed.

Also, is there any discord sever for this project?

[rolandgeider]

Great! yes there's a discord, it's linked in the readme

[ikthedar]

Yep found it. I will join that too. Thanks!

[rolandgeider]

Did you find something @ikthedar ?

[ikthedar]

Hey @rolandgeider, thanks for checking up on me. I got sick for a time being and wasn't able to put time for this. I will be starting on it this week.

[rolandgeider]

glad to hear you're feeling better!
