[dev-react] IPC Communication #8
Description
Currently BDR communicates information using Flask from the python backend and axios on the frontend.
Components such as the banner in the footer of the application, run from the frontend, receives update message from the backend and has to query every couple of seconds to request an update.
It feels like there is a better way to do this, as it currently achieves this by repeatedly sending new GET requests:
Example:
127.0.0.1 - - [DATE TIME] "GET /banner-message HTTP/1.1" 200 -
This returns the current status of information. If an error occurs for example, an error message should immediately show up in the banner.
If there is a way in which messages are only sent when the status updates on the backend and then relayed to the frontend, that would be a more efficient use of resources.
