Project: Modduke

Modduke - Modduke is a desktop app targeted towards NUS students. It allows them to easily manage their contacts, modules and meetings during the semester. The user interacts with it using a CLI, and it has a GUI created with JavaFX. It is written in Java, and has about 10 kLoC.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: Added a module add command that allows users to add modules to the Modduke. (Pull Request: #113)
    • What it does: It is a feature where users are able to create and add Modules to Modduke and store them in the module book.
    • Justification: This feature was implemented for the target audience of NUS students who may want to store contacts of all modules together
    • Highlights: This feature allows users to group contacts together based on shared modules. The implementation required the extensive use of object oriented paradigms as well as a good understanding of the codebase.
  • New Feature: Added a module list command that allows users to list all the contacts within a selected module.(Pull Request: #118)
    • What it does: Allows the user to list all the contacts within a given module in order to quickly find contacts that are specific to the module.
    • Justification: This feature improved the user experience drastically as it provided users a method to quickly filtered their contacts in a manner that was especially relevant to them. As contact lists could get long, this command made it much easier to identify contacts within a certain module.
    • Highlights: The implementation of this command required a solid understanding of the code base and required refactoring old module commands in order to ensure no duplicity of modules.
  • New Feature: Added a module delete command that allowed users to delete modules in Modduke.(Pull Request: #158)
    • What it does: Allows users to delete modules from the module book.
    • Justification: This feature was necessary to delete old modules or modules the user did not want in the module book anymore.
    • Highlights: This feature was technically complicated as it also effected meetings and the UI.
  • New Feature: Added a module edit command that allowed users to edit modules in Modduke. (Pull Request: #157)
    • What it does: Allows users to edit modules in order to update contacts stored within the module or to edit any mistakes made during the module add command.
    • Justification: This feature improved the user experience drastically as now users are able to edit modules and are able to add contacts to pre-existing modules.
    • Highlights: This implementation proposed challenges with the design of other features, especially meetings, where editing a module needed to update the relevant meetings as well. It also required design choices for how meetings would be affected when all participants within the meetings were changed.
  • New Feature: Added a command history feature to the UI.
    • What it does: Allows users to toggle to previous commands using the up and down keys similar to command lines.(Pull Request: #254)
    • Justification: This feature improved the user experience and made adding similar commands much easier as they could toggle to a similar command and simply edit the details.
    • Highlights: This was a complex feature to implement as it required a way to maintain the state of user’s commands as well as toggle capability that traversed through the history.
  • Enhancements to existing features:
    • Updated the UI for modules to show professors and TA’s when listing participants in the module
    • Added Classmates Badges to the modules list UI
    • Wrote Tests for module commands
    • Modified the argument multi-mapper to check for duplicate prefixes when not allowed
