Cell 6

The code imports a module named Core and a function named selenium cell from it, which is used to interact with the Selenium cell. It also defines an array of Facebook message URLs and includes a TODO comment to replace the current implementation with RPC commands.

What the code could have been:

const { RPC } = require('../Core');
const { runSeleniumCell } = RPC.import('selenium cell');

const friends = getFriends(); // Fetch friends list from a reliable source

// Refactored functions for better readability and maintainability
async function loginFacebook() {
    return await runSeleniumCell('login facebook');
}

async function listFacebookThreads() {
    return await runSeleniumCell('list facebook threads');
}

async function tileWindows(friends) {
    return await runSeleniumCell('tile chrome windows', friends);
}

async function sendFacebookMessage(friendUrl) {
    return await runSeleniumCell('send facebook message', friendUrl);
}

async function sendJoke(friendUrl) {
    return await runSeleniumCell('send a joke', friendUrl);
}

async function sendFacebookThanks(friendUrl, hwnd) {
    return await runSeleniumCell('send facebook thanks', friendUrl, hwnd);
}

async function tellJokes() {
    try {
        // Login to Facebook
        const loginResult = await loginFacebook();
        
        // Get friends list
        const friendsList = await listFacebookThreads();
        friends = friendsList.slice(0, 100);
        console.log(friends);

        // Tile windows for scrapes
        await tileWindows(friends.slice(0, 3));

        // Send thanks to friends in parallel
        const promises = [];
        for (let i = 0; i < Math.ceil(friends.length / 3); i++) {
            const hwnds = await tileWindows(friends.slice(i * 3, (i + 1) * 3));
            const hwndPromises = hwnds.map(hwnd => sendFacebookThanks(friends[i * 3], hwnd));
            promises.push(...hwndPromises);
        }
        await RPC.runAllPromises(promises);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error(error);
    }
}

Code Breakdown

Importing Modules

var importer = require('../Core'); var runSeleniumCell = importer.import('selenium cell');

The code imports a module named Core from a relative path (../Core).

It then imports a function named selenium cell from the imported Core module.

Friend URLs

var friends = [ 'https://www.facebook.com/messages/t/patti.caudill', 'https://www.facebook.com/messages/t/andrei.darie.5', 'https://www.facebook.com/messages/t/setha.vanderhoof', /*... */ ];

The code defines an array of URLs to Facebook messages.

Each URL is in the format https://www.facebook.com/messages/t/<username>.

The array is incomplete, with many entries commented out.

TODO Comment

// TODO: replace with rpc commands

The code includes a TODO comment, indicating that the current implementation should be replaced with RPC (Remote Procedure Call) commands.
