Release Notes: API MuscleLib v1.1.2

Bug Fix in Search Endpoint

• Identified Issue:
  A bug in the /api/exercises/search endpoint caused failures when processing search queries due to an undefined variable (formattedExercises), leading to inconsistent API responses.

• Fix Implemented:

  • The issue was resolved by replacing formattedExercises with the correct variable name (matchedExercises), ensuring that search results are returned as expected.

---

Localized Logs (EN and PT)

• Improvement Added:
  The API now adapts its error logs and internal messages to the language specified in the lang parameter (en or pt).

  • If lang=en: Logs are displayed in English.
  • If lang=pt: Logs are displayed in Portuguese.

• Benefits:

  • Easier error interpretation for developers in different languages.
  • Improved consistency with the language used in the API requests.

---

Updated Usage Example

• Search Request:

  GET https://libapi.vercel.app/api/exercises/search?lang=pt&query=crucifix

• Corresponding Log:

  • PT: Nenhum exercício encontrado para o termo: crucifix
  • EN: No exercises found for the term: crucifix

This update enhances the developer experience by providing clearer logs and resolving a critical issue in the search endpoint.

v1.1.1

Release Note - Exercise API

Version: 1.1.1

What's New

1. Enhanced Image Organization:

   • Exercise images are now structured in folders named after the respective exercises, simplifying access.
   • Each folder contains images related to the exercise, sequentially numbered (e.g., 0.jpg, 1.jpg).

2. Direct Image Access via URL:

   • Images can now be accessed directly using the endpoint /exercises/{exerciseName}/{imageIndex}.jpg.
   • Example URLs:
     • https://libapi.vercel.app/exercises/3_4_Sit-Up/0.jpg
     • https://libapi.vercel.app/exercises/3_4_Sit-Up/1.jpg

Developer Impact

• Simplified Image Management: No need to store images in the database. They can be referenced directly through the API.
• Frontend Integration Ready: Images can be easily used in frontend projects, including dynamic implementations like alternating images to mimic a GIF.

Frontend Usage Example

if (exercise.images && exercise.images.length > 0) {
    const img = document.createElement('img');
    img.src = `https://libapi.vercel.app/exercises/${exercise.images[0]}`; // First image
    img.alt = exercise.name;
    document.body.appendChild(img);

    // Image alternation
    let currentIndex = 0;
    setInterval(() => {
        currentIndex = (currentIndex + 1) % exercise.images.length;
        img.src = `https://libapi.vercel.app/exercises/${exercise.images[currentIndex]}`; // Update the image
    }, 1500); // Switch every 1.5 seconds
}

v1.1.0

Release Note - Exercise API

Version: 1.1.0

New Features

1. Added multilingual support (en and pt):

   • Routes now accept the lang parameter to determine the language of the returned information.
   • Default language set to en (English) if the lang parameter is not specified.

2. Paginated Listing Route:

   • Endpoint: /api/exercises
   • Pagination support with page and limit parameters.
   • Example usage:

     GET /api/exercises?lang=pt&page=0&limit=50

3. Multilingual Search Route:

   • Endpoint: /api/exercises/search
   • Optimized search using Fuse.js library, which uses similarity logic to find matches.
   • The search language is determined by the lang parameter.
     Example:

     GET /api/exercises/search?lang=pt&query=crucifixo

   • If the language is not specified, the search is conducted in English.

Improvements

• Language Validation: The API validates if the specified language (lang) is supported, returning an appropriate error if invalid.
• Data Formatter: Implementation of a centralized function to format returned data based on the language (formatExercise), ensuring consistency in results.
• Cleaner Structure:
  • Modularized code with reusable validations and formatting.
  • Clear error messages in case of issues in search or listing.

Next Steps

• Implement pagination in the search route (/search) for large volumes of results.
• Add support for more languages in the future.
