Using last_viewed Data

Disclaimer

Understanding last_viewed information

Each player has associated with it an array that contains a record of how many times a player was loaded. This information is stored in an array name last_viewed. You see below an example of such an array. Note that the count records how many time in the day the specific player was loaded. The date specifies the specific day.

    [
      {
        "count": 13,
        "date": "2018-10-24T05:00:00.000Z"
      }, {
        "count": 22,
        "date": "2018-10-23T05:00:00.000Z"
      }, {
        "count": 40,
        "date": "2018-10-22T05:00:00.000Z"
      }, {
        "count": 2,
        "date": "2018-10-21T05:00:00.000Z"
      }
    ]

App architecture

The high-level application logic for this app is as follows:

1. Gather user data necessary to retrieve information for all players in an account
2. Build the JSON data structure to pass to the API for player creation
3. On button click, perform AJAX call to retrieve information for all players in an account
4. On AJAX call success, extract the last_viewed array for each player.
5. For each player, display the last_viewed information in the table

Notes on the app:

• If you do not enter data, a Brightcove Learning Services account is used for demonstration purposed.
• To see the table at a more readable width, click the EDIT ON CODEPEN link.
• The raw players data is displayed under the table in a textbox, if you are interested in viewing that.
