1. Introduction

Welcome to CLInic! CLInic is a desktop application that is created for usage within a clinic, and optimised specifically for clinic receptionists and doctors who prefer to work with a Command Line Interface (CLI) while still having the benefits of a Graphical User Interface (GUI).

If this is your first time on this application, proceed to Section 2, “Setting up” to get started with setting up your development environment. Following which, you can proceed to Appendix A to get started on your first task!

If you are already familiar with the basic development environment for this application and wish to understand the inner workings of this application at a higher level, proceed to Section 3, “Design” and Section 4, “Implementation”.

For more information on documentation, testing and dev ops for this application, refer to Section 5, “Documentation”, Section 6, “Testing” and Section 7, “Dev Ops” respectively.

2. Setting up

This section contains instructions on how to do a one-time set up of the developmental environment on IntelliJ.

2.1. Prerequisites

  1. JDK 9 or later

    JDK 10 on Windows will fail to run tests in headless mode due to a JavaFX bug. Windows developers are highly recommended to use JDK 9.
  2. IntelliJ IDE

    IntelliJ by default has Gradle and JavaFx plugins installed.
    Do not disable them. If you have disabled them, go to File > Settings > Plugins to re-enable them.

2.2. Setting up the project in your computer

  1. Fork this repo, and clone the fork to your computer

  2. Open IntelliJ (if you are not in the welcome screen, click File > Close Project to close the existing project dialog first)

  3. Set up the correct JDK version for Gradle

    1. Click Configure > Project Defaults > Project Structure

    2. Click New…​ and find the directory of the JDK

  4. Click Import Project

  5. Locate the build.gradle file and select it. Click OK

  6. Click Open as Project

  7. Click OK to accept the default settings

  8. Open a console and run the command gradlew processResources (Mac/Linux: ./gradlew processResources). It should finish with the BUILD SUCCESSFUL message.
    This will generate all resources required by the application and tests.

  9. Open XmlAdaptedPerson.java and MainWindow.java and check for any code errors

    1. Due to an ongoing issue with some of the newer versions of IntelliJ, code errors may be detected even if the project can be built and run successfully

    2. To resolve this, place your cursor over any of the code section highlighted in red. Press ALT+ENTER, and select Add '--add-modules=…​' to module compiler options for each error

  10. Repeat this for the test folder as well (e.g. check XmlUtilTest.java and HelpWindowTest.java for code errors, and if so, resolve it the same way)

2.3. Verifying the setup

  1. Run the seedu.address.MainApp and try a few commands

  2. Run the tests to ensure they all pass.

2.4. Configurations to do before writing code

2.4.1. Configuring the coding style

This project follows oss-generic coding standards. IntelliJ’s default style is mostly compliant with ours but it uses a different import order from ours. To rectify,

  1. Go to File > Settings…​ (Windows/Linux), or IntelliJ IDEA > Preferences…​ (macOS)

  2. Select Editor > Code Style > Java

  3. Click on the Imports tab to set the order

    • For Class count to use import with '*' and Names count to use static import with '*': Set to 999 to prevent IntelliJ from contracting the import statements

    • For Import Layout: The order is import static all other imports, import java.*, import javax.*, import org.*, import com.*, import all other imports. Add a <blank line> between each import

Optionally, you can follow the UsingCheckstyle.adoc document to configure Intellij to check style-compliance as you write code.

2.4.2. Updating documentation to match your fork

After forking the repo, the documentation will still have the SE-EDU branding and refer to the se-edu/addressbook-level4 repo.

If you plan to develop this fork as a separate product (i.e. instead of contributing to se-edu/addressbook-level4), you should do the following:

  1. Configure the site-wide documentation settings in build.gradle, such as the site-name, to suit your own project.

  2. Replace the URL in the attribute repoURL in DeveloperGuide.adoc and UserGuide.adoc with the URL of your fork.

2.4.3. Setting up CI

Set up Travis to perform Continuous Integration (CI) for your fork. See UsingTravis.adoc to learn how to set it up.

After setting up Travis, you can optionally set up coverage reporting for your team fork (see UsingCoveralls.adoc).

Coverage reporting could be useful for a team repository that hosts the final version but it is not that useful for your personal fork.

Optionally, you can set up AppVeyor as a second CI (see UsingAppVeyor.adoc).

Having both Travis and AppVeyor ensures your App works on both Unix-based platforms and Windows-based platforms (Travis is Unix-based and AppVeyor is Windows-based)

2.4.4. Getting started with coding

When you are ready to start coding,

  1. Get some sense of the overall design by reading Section 3.1, “Architecture”.

  2. Take a look at Appendix A, Suggested Programming Tasks to Get Started.

3. Design

This section contains information about the main architecture and design of various components in CLInic.
Note that since CLInic was built on top of the addressbook-level4 application, addressbook and its associated acronyms are used interchangeably with CLInic for the rest of the guide.

3.1. Architecture

Architecture
Figure 1. Architecture Diagram

The Architecture Diagram given above explains the high-level design of the App. Given below is a quick overview of each component.

The .pptx files used to create diagrams in this document can be found in the diagrams folder. To update a diagram, modify the diagram in the pptx file, select the objects of the diagram, and choose Save as picture.

Main has only one class called MainApp. It is responsible for,

  • At app launch: Initializes the components in the correct sequence, and connects them up with each other.

  • At shut down: Shuts down the components and invokes cleanup method where necessary.

Commons represents a collection of classes used by multiple other components. Two of those classes play important roles at the architecture level.

  • EventsCenter : This class (written using Google’s Event Bus library) is used by components to communicate with other components using events (i.e. a form of Event Driven design)

  • LogsCenter : Used by many classes to write log messages to the App’s log file.

The rest of the App consists of four similarly designed components:

  • UI: The UI of the App.

  • Logic: The command executor.

  • Model: Holds the data of the App in-memory.

  • Storage: Reads data from, and writes data to, the hard disk.

Each of the four components:

  • Defines its API in an interface with the same name as the Component.

  • Exposes its functionality using a {Component Name}Manager class.

For example, the Logic component (see the class diagram given below) defines it’s API in the Logic.java interface and exposes its functionality using the LogicManager.java class.

LogicClassDiagram
Figure 2. Class Diagram of the Logic Component

Events-Driven nature of the design

The Sequence Diagram below shows how the components interact for the scenario where the user issues the command delete 1.

SDforDeletePerson
Figure 3. Component interactions for delete 1 command (part 1)
Note how the Model simply raises a AddressBookChangedEvent when the Address Book data are changed, instead of asking the Storage to save the updates to the hard disk.

The diagram below shows how the EventsCenter reacts to that event, which eventually results in the updates being saved to the hard disk and the status bar of the UI being updated to reflect the 'Last Updated' time.

SDforDeletePersonEventHandling
Figure 4. Component interactions for delete 1 command (part 2)
Note how the event is propagated through the EventsCenter to the Storage and UI without Model having to be coupled to either of them. This is an example of how this Event Driven approach helps us reduce direct coupling between components.

The sections below give more details of each component.

3.2. UI component

UiClassDiagram
Figure 5. Structure of the UI Component

API : Ui.java

The UI consists of a MainWindow that is made up of parts e.g.CommandBox, ResultDisplay, PersonListPanel, StatusBarFooter, BrowserPanel etc. All these, including the MainWindow, inherit from the abstract UiPart class.

The UI component uses JavaFx UI framework. The layout of these UI parts are defined in matching .fxml files that are in the src/main/resources/view folder. For example, the layout of the MainWindow is specified in MainWindow.fxml

The UI component,

  • Executes user commands using the Logic component.

  • Binds itself to some data in the Model so that the UI can auto-update when data in the Model change.

  • Responds to events raised from various parts of the App and updates the UI accordingly.

3.3. Logic component

LogicClassDiagram
Figure 6. Structure of the Logic Component

API : Logic.java

  1. Logic uses the AddressBookParser class to parse the user command.

  2. This results in a Command object which is executed by the LogicManager.

  3. The command execution can affect the Model (e.g. adding a patient) and/or raise events.

  4. The result of the command execution is encapsulated as a CommandResult object which is passed back to the Ui.

Given below is the Sequence Diagram for interactions within the Logic component for the execute("delete 1") API call.

DeletePersonSdForLogic
Figure 7. Interactions Inside the Logic Component for the delete 1 Command

3.4. Model component

ModelClassDiagram
Figure 8. Structure of the Model Component

API : Model.java

The Model

  • stores a UserPref object that represents the user’s preferences.

  • stores the Address Book data.

  • exposes an unmodifiable ObservableList<Person> and an ObservableList<Medicine> that can be 'observed'
    e.g. the UI can be bound to this list so that the UI automatically updates when the data in the list change.

  • does not depend on any of the other three components.

As a more OOP model, we can store a Tag list in Address Book, which Person can reference. This would allow Address Book to only require one Tag object per unique Tag, instead of each Person needing their own Tag object. An example of how such a model may look like is given below.

ModelClassBetterOopDiagram

3.5. Storage component

StorageClassDiagram
Figure 9. Structure of the Storage Component

API : Storage.java

The Storage component,

  • can save UserPref objects in json format and read it back.

  • can save the Address Book data in xml format and read it back.

3.6. Common classes

For ease of use, classes used by multiple components are in the seedu.addressbook.commons package.

4. Implementation

This section contains some noteworthy details on how certain features are implemented.

4.1. Undo/Redo feature

4.1.1. Current Implementation

The undo/redo mechanism is facilitated by VersionedAddressBook. It extends AddressBook with an undo/redo history, stored internally as an addressBookStateList and currentStatePointer. Additionally, it implements the following operations:

  • VersionedAddressBook#commit() — Saves the current address book state in its history.

  • VersionedAddressBook#undo() — Restores the previous address book state from its history.

  • VersionedAddressBook#redo() — Restores a previously undone address book state from its history.

These operations are exposed in the Model interface as Model#commitAddressBook(), Model#undoAddressBook() and Model#redoAddressBook() respectively.

Given below is an example usage scenario and how the undo/redo mechanism behaves at each step.

Step 1. The user launches the application for the first time. The VersionedAddressBook will be initialized with the initial address book state, and the currentStatePointer pointing to that single address book state.

UndoRedoStartingStateListDiagram
Figure 10. Initial state

Step 2. The user executes delete 5 command to delete the 5th patient in the address book. The delete command calls Model#commitAddressBook(), causing the modified state of the address book after the delete 5 command executes to be saved in the addressBookStateList, and the currentStatePointer is shifted to the newly inserted address book state.

UndoRedoNewCommand1StateListDiagram
Figure 11. State after new command

Step 3. The user executes add n/David …​ to add a new patient. The add command also calls Model#commitAddressBook(), causing another modified address book state to be saved into the addressBookStateList.

UndoRedoNewCommand2StateListDiagram
Figure 12. State after another new command
If a command fails its execution, it will not call Model#commitAddressBook(), so the address book state will not be saved into the addressBookStateList.

Step 4. The user now decides that adding the patient was a mistake, and decides to undo that action by executing the undo command. The undo command will call Model#undoAddressBook(), which will shift the currentStatePointer once to the left, pointing it to the previous address book state, and restores the address book to that state.

UndoRedoExecuteUndoStateListDiagram
Figure 13. Performing an undo
If the currentStatePointer is at index 0, pointing to the initial address book state, then there are no previous address book states to restore. The undo command uses Model#canUndoAddressBook() to check if this is the case. If so, it will return an error to the user rather than attempting to perform the undo.

The following sequence diagram shows how the undo operation works:

UndoRedoSequenceDiagram
Figure 14. Sequence diagram for UndoCommand/RedoCommand.

The redo command does the opposite — it calls Model#redoAddressBook(), which shifts the currentStatePointer once to the right, pointing to the previously undone state, and restores the address book to that state.

If the currentStatePointer is at index addressBookStateList.size() - 1, pointing to the latest address book state, then there are no undone address book states to restore. The redo command uses Model#canRedoAddressBook() to check if this is the case. If so, it will return an error to the user rather than attempting to perform the redo.

Step 5. The user then decides to execute the command list. Commands that do not modify the address book, such as list, will usually not call Model#commitAddressBook(), Model#undoAddressBook() or Model#redoAddressBook(). Thus, the addressBookStateList remains unchanged.

UndoRedoNewCommand3StateListDiagram
Figure 15. Non-modifying command state

Step 6. The user executes clear, which calls Model#commitAddressBook(). Since the currentStatePointer is not pointing at the end of the addressBookStateList, all address book states after the currentStatePointer will be purged. We designed it this way because it no longer makes sense to redo the add n/David …​ command. This is the behavior that most modern desktop applications follow.

UndoRedoNewCommand4StateListDiagram
Figure 16. Discard old commits after state pointer

The following activity diagram summarizes what happens when a user executes a new command:

UndoRedoActivityDiagram
Figure 17. Undo/Redo activity diagram

4.1.2. Design Considerations

Aspect: How undo & redo executes
  • Alternative 1 (current choice): Save the entire address book.

    • Pros: Easy to implement.

    • Cons: May have performance issues in terms of memory usage.

  • Alternative 2: Individual command knows how to undo/redo by itself.

    • Pros: Will use less memory (e.g. for delete, just save the patient being deleted).

    • Cons: We must ensure that the implementation of each individual command are correct.

Aspect: Data structure to support the undo/redo commands
  • Alternative 1 (current choice): Use a list to store the history of address book states.

    • Pros: Easy for new Computer Science student undergraduates to understand, who are likely to be the new incoming developers of our project.

    • Cons: Logic is duplicated twice. For example, when a new command is executed, we must remember to update both HistoryManager and VersionedAddressBook.

  • Alternative 2: Use HistoryManager for undo/redo

    • Pros: We do not need to maintain a separate list, and just reuse what is already in the codebase.

    • Cons: Requires dealing with commands that have already been undone: We must remember to skip these commands. Violates Single Responsibility Principle and Separation of Concerns as HistoryManager now needs to do two different things.

4.2. Adding a MedicalRecord to a Patient

4.2.1. Current Implementation

The MedicalRecord class is an attribute of the Patient class, and it contains information regarding its Patient 's medical records. The MedicalRecord class:

  • has an attribute BloodType which stores the blood type of the Patient. This attribute is marked as final and cannot be changed.

  • contains a List<DrugAllergy> which stores the list of drug allergies that the Patient has.

  • contains a List<Disease> which stores the list of diseases the Patient has.

  • contains a List<Note> which stores the list of notes that belong to the Patient. Each Note further comprises a Message that stores the actual message of the Note, and a Map<SerialNumber, Quantity> attribute which is a record of the SerialNumber of the Medicine as well as the Quantity that had been dispensed to the Patient during that particular visit.

When a new Patient is created with the AddCommand, it is created with a default MedicalRecord object that contains an empty BloodType object, an empty List<DrugAllergy>, an empty List<Disease> and and empty List<Note>.

Users can add more information to a specified Patient 's MedicalRecord by invoking the AddMedicalRecordCommand, and specifying the corresponding arguments to add to the MedicalRecord. The arguments should be prefixed with b/ for BloodType, d/ for Disease, da/ for DrugAllergy, and m/ for Note. All the arguments here are optional arguments, however at least one must be present.

Given below is an example usage scenario and explanation for the inner workings of the AddMedicalRecordCommand.

Step 1. The user creates a new Patient object using the AddCommand. While the user has not provided any arguments for the MedicalRecord of this Patient, a empty MedicalRecord object has been initialised internally and assigned to this created Patient. Contents of this empty MedicalRecord is as detailed above.

Step 2. The user wishes to add a MedicalRecord containing only the BloodType of the Patient, and will do so with the AddMedicalRecord command, and only specifiying the b/ prefix for BloodType. Note that BloodType here can only be in a specific format (A[+-], B[+-], O[+-] or AB[+-]).

When this command is executed, the program creates a new MedicalRecord object with just the BloodType specified, takes the old MedicalRecord object of the Patient (which is empty), and does a merging of the two objects, returning a new MedicalRecord object. The Patient is then updated with this new combined MedicalRecord. The following figure shows the sequence diagram for this command.

addMedicalRecord SequenceDiagram
Figure 18. Sequence diagram for AddMedicalRecordCommand.

4.2.2. Design Considerations

This section lists out some of the different implementations that were considered during the designing phase of this feature, including the rationale for our choice.

Aspect: Execution of the command
  • Alternative 1 (current choice): Create a new MedicalRecord object and combine the old MedicalRecord with it.

    • Pros: Easy to implement and better abstraction.

    • Cons: Redundant creation of new object only to discard it immediately.

  • Alternative 2: Add specified arguments of the command directly to the current MedicalRecord

    • Pros: No redundant creation of extra objects.

    • Cons: Require access to the existing MedicalRecord from outside the object, which breaks the abstraction barrier.

4.3. Medicine Records System

The medicine records system is used to manage the medicine inventory in the clinic. It allows the clinic to automate the monitoring and management of their medicine supply easily. There is great potential for this system to evolve, for example:

  • Using artificial intelligence to manage the clinic supply without human intervention.

  • Delivering first-hand information from medical breakthroughs to treat patients more effectively.

4.3.1. Current Implementation

The Medicine class and the properties of the medicine are located in Model. They are modeled after the properties of a real medicine in a clinic context. The list of medicines currently tracked in the clinic is located in the AddressBook class.

Refer to the diagram below for the commands that involves the Medicine Class:

ClassDiagramForMedicineCommands
Figure 19. Class Diagram for Medicine Commands

Given below are examples of how the medicine commands are used:

Scenario 1: The clinic orders a new medicine that they do not currently possess. The clinic receptionist uses the addMedicine command to add the new medicine into the records.

Scenario 2: There is a wrong entry for one of the serial number of the medicine. The user uses the editmedicine command to correct the serial number. The code on how it works is shown below:

public CommandResult execute(Model model, CommandHistory history) throws CommandException {
        requireNonNull(model);
        List<Medicine> lastShownList = model.getFilteredMedicineList();

        if (index.getZeroBased() >= lastShownList.size()) {
            throw new CommandException(Messages.MESSAGE_INVALID_MEDICINE_DISPLAYED_INDEX);
        }

        Medicine medicineToEdit = lastShownList.get(index.getZeroBased());
        Medicine editedMedicine = createEditedMedicine(medicineToEdit, medicineDescriptor);

        if (!medicineToEdit.isSameMedicine(editedMedicine)
                && model.hasMedicine(editedMedicine)) {
            throw new CommandException(MESSAGE_DUPLICATE_MEDICINE);
        }

        /* The following three methods checks if the new medicine name or
        new serial number that is entered used by other medicines in CLInic.
        If so, they throw an error specifying which of the two is duplicated.
        This is done as the medicine name and serial number are unique to a medicine.
        */

        checkBothNewMedicineNameAndSerialNumberAlreadyExisting(model, editedMedicine);
        checkNewSerialNumberAlreadyExisting(model, editedMedicine);
        checkNewMedicineNameAlreadyExisting(model, editedMedicine);

        model.updateMedicine(medicineToEdit, editedMedicine);
        model.updateFilteredMedicineList(Model.PREDICATE_SHOW_ALL_MEDICINES);
        model.commitAddressBook();

        EventsCenter.getInstance().post(new ShowMedicineListEvent());

        return new CommandResult(String.format(MESSAGE_EDIT_MEDICINE_SUCCESS, editedMedicine));
    }
}

Scenario 3: The doctor prescribes the patient he is serving a medicine. The dispensemedicine command is entered. The stock level of the medicine is then updated. The sequence diagram below shows how the code works:

DispenseMedicineSequenceDiagram
Figure 20. Sequence Diagram for dispensemedicine

Scenario 4: The clinic receptionist needs to check for the stock level of every medicine. He executes the checkStock command which lists all medicines that are below their Minimum Stock Quantity. See the figure below for an example of how the filter works:

checkstockfilter
Figure 21. Filter medicines that are low in supply

4.3.2. Design Considerations

The medicines in the clinic need to be stored in a Java Collection. We considered using a list or a hash map. See below for the analysis of each choice:

Aspect: Execution of the command
  • Current choice: Stores the medicines in a list.

    • Pros: Many easy and useful methods to manipulate medicines in the list such as add, get and remove.

    • Cons: Relatively slow when searching through the list to find a medicine.

  • Alternative: Stores the medicines in a hash map.

    • Pros: Quick reference for object given the medicine name or serial number.

    • Cons: Cumbersome and error-prone when there is a need to change the hash map into a list to manipulate the medicines.

4.4. Patient Queue Management System

The Patient Queue Management System (PQMS) consists of three main classes: PatientQueue, CurrentPatient and ServedPatientQueue. A patient that registers to see the doctor is put into the PatientQueue. When it is the patient’s turn to see the doctor, he will become the CurrentPatient. After he is done with seeing the doctor, he will become a ServedPatient and put into the ServedPatientQueue to await payment and document processing.

PQMSClassDiagram
Figure 22. Class Diagram of PQMS

ServedPatient acts as a wrapper for Patient, storing intermediate information that are likely to change during the patient’s visit to the clinic. CurrentPatient acts as a wrapper for ServedPatient, updating the intermediate information that it contains. These intermediate information are McContent, ReferralContent, NoteContent and Medicine allocated.

The PQMS consists of the register, insert, remove, serve, adddocument, displaydocuments, dispensemedicine, finish, payment and Document commands.

These commands inherit from QueueCommand because it will require more arguments in its execute command. The PQMS is not inside Model as it is only required during runtime; it does not need to be saved into the database. A new QueueCommand abstract class that inherits from Command is created and it defines a new method signature of execute.

The following code snippet shows how the QueueCommand is implemented:

public abstract class QueueCommand extends Command {

    public CommandResult execute(Model model, CommandHistory history) throws CommandException {
        throw new CommandException(Messages.MESSAGE_WRONG_EXECUTE_COMMAND);
    }

    public abstract CommandResult execute(Model model, PatientQueue patientQueue, CurrentPatient currentPatient,
                            ServedPatientList servedPatientList, CommandHistory history) throws CommandException;

}

The follow code snippet shows how the RegisterCommand makes use of both the Model and PatientQueue of the PQMS.

    public CommandResult execute(Model model, PatientQueue patientQueue, CurrentPatient currentPatient,
                                 ServedPatientList servedPatientList, CommandHistory history) throws CommandException {
        requireNonNull(patientQueue);

        List<Patient> lastShownList = model.getFilteredPersonList();

        if (targetIndex.getZeroBased() >= lastShownList.size()) {
            throw new CommandException(Messages.MESSAGE_INVALID_PERSON_DISPLAYED_INDEX);
        }

        Patient patientToRegister = lastShownList.get(targetIndex.getZeroBased());

        if (patientQueue.contains(patientToRegister) || currentPatient.isPatient(patientToRegister)
                || servedPatientList.containsPatient(patientToRegister)) {
            throw new CommandException(MESSAGE_DUPLICATE_PATIENT);
        }

        int position = patientQueue.enqueue(patientToRegister);
        return new CommandResult(MESSAGE_SUCCESS + patientToRegister.toNameAndIc()
                + " with Queue Number: " + position + "\n" + patientQueue.displayQueue());
    }

For better illustration, the following sequence diagram shows how the register commands works:

RegisterSequenceDiagram
Figure 23. Sequence Diagram for RegisterCommand.

The other PQMS commands roughly follow the same sequence as Register command but can interact with CurrentPatient or ServedPatientList instead of PatientQueue.

Given below is an example usage scenario of the PQMS.

Step 1. Three patients visits the clinic, the user executes the register command for each patient. If these patients are not registered in CLInic’s database they need to be added first.

750
Figure 24. Registering 3 patients

Step 2. The doctor is ready for the next patient. The user executes the serve command to serve the first patient in the queue. The patient is now the CurrentPatient.

750
Figure 25. Serve patient

Step 3. The user executes the adddocument command to add information to the CurrentPatient. These information will be used for document processing later on.

Step 4. The CurrentPatient is done with the consultation. The user executes the finish command to transfer this patient to the ServedPatientQueue. Afterwards, the user executes serve to serve the next patient in PatientQueue.

750
Figure 26. Finish serving patient

Step 5. The user executes various Document commands to generate necessary documents for the served patient.

Step 6. The user finally executes payment command to end the patient’s visit to the clinic, removing him from the ServedPatientQueue.

4.4.1. Design Considerations

Aspect: Proper OOP practice

Relationship between CurrentPatient, ServedPatient and Patient.

  • Current Implementation: Composition

    • CurrentPatient is composed of ServedPatient. ServedPatient is composed of Patient.

    • Pros: Easy manipulation of composed class.

    • Cons: Weird relationship between the three classes. i.e. ServedPatient has-a Patient.

  • Alternative: Inheritance

  • CurrentPatient inherits from ServedPatient. ServedPatient inherits from Patient.

    • Pros: Proper relationship between three classes.

    • Cons: Cannot cast Patient to ServedPatient or CurrentPatient for usage in PQMS.

4.5. Document

4.5.1. Implementation of Document

The Document abstract class represents all the documents that can be issued by the clinic. The Receipt, MedicalCertificate and ReferralLetter concrete classes, which respective commands will be referred to henceforth as document related commands, all inherit from it. It can be thought of as a formatter that specifies and organises the common information that all these documents must have with the help of the DocumentTemplate.html template file.
Shown below is a class diagram illustrating how Document, Receipt, MedicalCertificate and ReferralLetter relate to one another.

DocumentClassDiagram
Figure 27. Class diagram representing how the Document and document related classes are implemented.

As the formatter which directs how the documents are built from the DocumentTemplate.html template, the Document abstract class itself cannot be instantiated. The Document abstract class has the following key features:

  • contains the name and icNumber attributes, extracted from the ServedPatient from which the Document was constructed from.

  • has common methods like generateContent to standardise the way in which the contents of the Document are formatted.

  • has the formatInformation abstract method which the extending classes have to implement.

The following activity diagram summarises what happens internally when a document related command is executed.

DocumentActivityDiagram
Figure 28. Flow of activities when a document related command is executed. Only the methods that are implemented within Document itself are labelled in the diagram.

As seen in the above activity diagram, upon executing a document related command, the corresponding document will be constructed from the ServedPatient object specified by the index that was passed in with the command, as detailed in the following steps.

Step 1. The resulting document related object will call the generateDocument method, which will first make a unique fileName for the file to be created, identified by the type of Document, ServedPatient’s name and icNumber.

private String makeFileName() {
    return (fileType + FILE_NAME_DELIMITER + "For" + FILE_NAME_DELIMITER + name.toString()
        + FILE_NAME_DELIMITER + icNumber.toString())
        .replaceAll("\\s", FILE_NAME_DELIMITER)
        .replaceAll("(_)+", FILE_NAME_DELIMITER);
}

The FILE_NAME_DELIMITER is abstracted so as to allow users to change the delimiter to a string of their choice. It is used as a means of separating fields of information in file names.

Step 2. The DocumentTemplate.html file is then converted into a string. It is a template with placeholder values prefixed by a $ that will be replaced with the actual information pertaining to the ServedPatient’s consultation.
Shown below is the code snippet that converts the DocumentTemplate HTML file into a string.

private String convertHtmlIntoString() {
    StringBuilder contentBuilder = new StringBuilder();
    try {
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(COMPLETE_TEMPLATE_PATH));
        String str;
        while ((str = in.readLine()) != null) {
            contentBuilder.append(str).append("\n");
        }
        in.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        System.out.println(TEMPLATE_LOCATE_FAILURE_ERROR_MESSAGE);
    }
    return contentBuilder.toString();
}

Step 3. The generateContent method will then be called within the writeContentsIntoDocumentTemplate method. The generateContent method will construct a HashMap of string to string key-value pairs. The keys are the aforementioned placeholder strings prefixed by $ found in the HTML template, while the values are the corresponding information that are to substitute the placeholders in the HTML template(keys). The writeContentsIntoDocumentTemplate method will then use the key-value pairs found in the HashMap created by the generateContent method to replace the placeholder values in the HTML template.

private String writeContentsIntoDocumentTemplate() {
    String htmlContent = convertHtmlIntoString();
    String title = fileType + " for " + this.name;
    htmlContent = htmlContent.replace("$title", title);
    HashMap<String, String> fieldValues = this.generateContent();
    for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : fieldValues.entrySet()) {
        String key = entry.getKey();
        String value = entry.getValue();
        htmlContent = htmlContent.replace(key, value);
    }
    return htmlContent;
}

private HashMap<String, String> generateContent() {
    HashMap<String, String> informationFieldPairs = new HashMap<>();
    informationFieldPairs.put(HEADER_PLACEHOLDER, generateHeaders());
    informationFieldPairs.put(NAME_PLACEHOLDER, name.toString());
    informationFieldPairs.put(ICNUMBER_PLACEHOLDER, icNumber.toString());
    informationFieldPairs.put(CONTENT_PLACEHOLDER, formatInformation());
    return informationFieldPairs;
}

Step 4. Now that the HTML template is a string with the placeholder values replaced by the correct information, a BufferedOutputStream is used to write the updated string into the HTML file, concluding the generation of the Document HTML file.

4.5.2. Design Considerations

Aspect: Implementation of the Document
  • Alternative 1 (current choice): Use an abstract class to implement Document.

    • Pros:

      • Allows inheriting classes to use a standardised method to format common information while granting them the flexibility of structuring the contents unique to its document type by means of abstract methods.

    • Cons:

      • Prevents inheriting classes from becoming an Enum as Java does not support multiple inheritance, since all enums implicitly inherit from Enum.

      • More computationally expensive than an interface due to the overhead incurred looking up inherited methods and various class members.

  • Alternative 2: Use an interface to implement Document.

    • Pros:

      • Can convert inheriting classes to enums, ensuring that the inputs fed to these classes are valid.

Enums can restrict the period of medical leave to be counted in only days/weeks. This prevents absurd scenarios like issuing a Medical Certificate that excuses a person from work/school for 10 years!

  • Cons:

    • Unable to standardise the way inheriting classes implement the generateHeader method.

  • Potentially allow the inheriting classes to omit certain header fields that are relevant to the printing of a document, such as the date and time of the consultation.

  • Information might be formatted differently.

4.5.3. Implementation of Receipt

The Receipt class structure is as follows:

  • Contains a Map<Medicine, MedicineQuantity> attribute to record the quantity dispensed of each type of Medicine to the ServedPatient from which the Receipt was constructed from.

  • Contains a HashSet<Service> attribute to record the Services administered to the patient.

  • Contains a totalPrice attribute which stores the total price of all the Services and Medicines received by the patient during the consultation.

Users can generate a Receipt for a specific ServedPatient by invoking the ReceiptCommand accompanied by the ServedPatient 's index in the ServedPatientList. The below sequence diagram illustrates how the ReceiptCommand works.

ReceiptSequenceDiagram
Figure 29. Sequence diagram for ReceiptCommand.

When the ReceiptCommand is executed, it constructs a new Receipt object and extracts the relevant information from the ServedPatient specified by the index.
Shown below is how the Map<Medicine, MedicineQuantity> of a ServedPatient is unpacked to sieve out the individual table entries for the cost of different medicines.

    private String unpackMedicineAllocation(Map<Medicine, QuantityToDispense> medicineAllocated) {
        StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
        for (Map.Entry<Medicine, QuantityToDispense> entry : medicineAllocated.entrySet()) {
            Medicine medicine = entry.getKey();
            String medicineName = medicine.getMedicineName().toString();
            int quantity = entry.getValue().getValue();
            float pricePerUnit = Float.parseFloat(medicine.getPricePerUnit().toString());
            float totalPriceForSpecificMedicine = pricePerUnit * quantity;
            increaseTotalPriceBy(totalPriceForSpecificMedicine);
            stringBuilder.append("<tr><td>")
                    .append(medicineName)
                    .append(super.HTML_TABLE_DATA_DIVIDER)
                    .append(quantity)
                    .append(super.HTML_TABLE_DATA_DIVIDER)
                    .append(String.format("%.02f", pricePerUnit))
                    .append(super.HTML_TABLE_DATA_DIVIDER)
                    .append(String.format("%.02f", totalPriceForSpecificMedicine))
                    .append("</td></tr>");
        }
        return stringBuilder.toString();
    }

4.5.4. Implementation of MedicalCertificate

The MedicalCertificate class structure is as follows:

  • Has attributes of the ServedPatient it is generated from, which includes the ServedPatient 's name and IcNumber.

    • These attributes are marked as final as they should not be changed.

  • Contains additional information like the duration, start-date and end-date of their medical leave.

Users can generate a MedicalCertificate for a specific ServedPatient by invoking the MedicalCertificateCommand accompanied by the ServedPatient 's index in the ServedPatientList. The below sequence diagram illustrates how the MedicalCertificateCommand works.

MCSequenceDiagram
Figure 30. Sequence diagram for MedicalCertificateCommand.

When the MedicalCertificateCommand is executed, it will construct a new MedicalCertificate object and extract the relevant information from the ServedPatient specified by the index. Shown below is how information like numMcDays is formatted into the medical certificate document template.

    public String formatInformation() {
            int numMcDays = getMcDays();
            DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd/MM/yyyy");

            StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
            stringBuilder.append("This is to certify that the above-named patient is unfit for duty for a period of ")
                    .append("<b>" + numMcDays + "</b>")
                    .append(" <b>day(s)</b>, from ")
                    .append("<b>" + LocalDate.now().format(formatter) + "</b>")
                    .append(" <b>to</b> ")
                    .append("<b>" + LocalDate.now().plusDays(numMcDays - 1).format(formatter) + "</b>")
                    .append(" <b>inclusive.</b><br><br>")
                    .append("This certificate is not valid for absence from court attendance.<br><br>")
                    .append("<b>Issuing Doctor:</b> Dr Chester Sng" + "<br>");
            return stringBuilder.toString();
        }
Executing mc with an invalid index will not result in the generation of a MedicalCertificate.

4.5.5. Implementation of ReferralLetter

The ReferralLetter class structure is as follows:

  • Has attributes of the ServedPatient it is generated from, which includes the ServedPatient 's name and IcNumber.

    • These attributes are marked as final as they should not be changed.

  • Contains additional information like the doctor’s notes and patient’s referred location.

Users can generate a ReferralLetter for a specific ServedPatient by invoking the ReferralLetterCommand accompanied by the ServedPatient 's index in the ServedPatientList. The below sequence diagram illustrates how the ReferralLetterCommand works.

RLSequenceDiagram
Figure 31. Sequence diagram for ReferralLetterCommand.

When the ReferralLetterCommand is executed, it will construct a new ReferralLetter object and extract the relevant information from the ServedPatient specified by the index. Shown below is how information like referralContent and noteContent are formatted into the referral letter document template.

    public String formatInformation() {
            String referralContent = getReferralContent();
            String noteContent = getNoteContent();

            StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
            stringBuilder.append("This is to certify that the above-named patient has been referred to: ")
                    .append("<b>" + referralContent.toUpperCase() + "</b>" + "<br><br>")
                    .append("Dear Specialist, please assist the above-named patient in the following matter:<br>")
                    .append(noteContent + "<br><br>")
                    .append("Kindly do accept him under your care. Thank you very much.<br><br>")
                    .append("<b>Issuing Doctor:</b> Dr Chester Sng" + "<br>");
            return stringBuilder.toString();
        }
Executing refer with an invalid index will not result in the generation of a ReferralLetter.

4.5.6. Design Considerations

Aspect: Implementation of adddocument, MedicalCertificate and ReferralLetter Commands
  • Alternative 1 (current choice): The issuing doctor’s name is hard-coded into the MedicalCertificate and ReferralLetter HTML template.

    • Pros: No need for an extra parameter to key in the issuing doctor’s name, which is helpful when there is only one doctor working in a clinic.

    • Cons: There may be more than one doctor working in a clinic.

  • Alternative 2: Include a mandatory parameter id/ISSUING_DOCTOR to the adddocument command for the issuing doctor to key in his/her name.

    • Pros: Different doctors can sign off the medical certificates and referral letters.

    • Cons: Slightly more typing is necessary before doctors can execute the adddocument command.

4.6. Application GUI

4.6.1. Current Implementation

As an extension to the original addressbook-level4 application, more UI elements were added to the application window to serve as visual aid for the user of the application.

In particular, the real-time status of the Patient Queue Management System (PQMS) is reflected to the user via a small window near the top of the application. This is depicted in the figure below:

PQMS gui
Figure 32. GUI for the PQMS

After QueueCommands such as register, serve, etc., the GUI will automatically update itself as the user enters these commands to reflect the situation of the PQMS at that exact point in time.

This UI element is implemented using JavaFX’s WebView and a local HTML file. The sequence of events for how the WebView is updated is as follows:

Step 1. On a fresh start-up of the application, the WebView is intialized with the local HTML file QueueDisplay.html that draws the labels and boxes onto the WebView.

Step 2. After each QueueCommand, a QueueUpdatedEvent is posted and the subscribed class QueueDisplay invokes the runScript() method on the WebViewScript object within the class.

Step 3. WebViewScript.runScript() simply calls an executeScript() method that subsequently executes some JavaScript code on the HTML file that will render the appropriate illustration to be displayed on the WebView.

Step 4. On each subsequent QueueCommand, steps 2 to 3 are repeated to update the display.

The following figure show the code section of the 2 methods that are responsible for the display:

/**
 * File: QueueDisplay.java
 * Loads a HTML file representing the queue display.
 */
private void loadQueueDisplay(PatientQueue patientQueue, ServedPatientList servedPatientList, CurrentPatient currentPatient) {
    List<Patient> patientQueueList = patientQueue == null ? null : patientQueue.getPatientsAsList();
    String currentPatientString;
    if (currentPatient == null) {
        currentPatientString = "empty";
    } else {
        try {
            currentPatientString = currentPatient.getPatient().getName().fullName;
        } catch (NullPointerException npe) {
            currentPatientString = "empty";
        }
    }
    List<ServedPatient> servedPatients = servedPatientList == null ? null : servedPatientList.getPatientsAsList();

    String queueDisplayPage = MainApp.class.getResource(FXML_FILE_FOLDER + DEFAULT_PAGE).toExternalForm();
    this.webViewScript.runScript(getScriptForQueueDisplay(patientQueueList, currentPatientString, servedPatients));
    loadPage(queueDisplayPage);
}
/**
 * File: WebViewScriptManager.java
 * This function will run script that is passed as argument.
 * @param script script to run.
 */
public void runScript(String script) {
    int currentCounter = this.counter;
    this.webView.getEngine().getLoadWorker().stateProperty().addListener((ObservableValue<? extends Worker.State> observable, Worker.State oldValue, Worker.State newValue) -> {
        if (newValue == Worker.State.SUCCEEDED && currentCounter == this.counter) {
            Platform.runLater(() -> this.webView.getEngine().executeScript(script));
            this.counter++;
        }
    });
}

4.6.2. Design Considerations

This section lists out some of the different implementations that were considered during the designing phase of this feature, including the rationale for our choice.

Aspect: Implementation approach
  • Alternative 1 (current choice): Using a WebView to display HTML code

    • Pros:

      • Easy to implement, since the code to render the display is a completely separate code. Abstraction barrier is maintained.

    • Cons:

      • Might face lagging issues for prolonged time usage, since one new Listener object is created for each update.

  • Alternative 2: Using JavaFX to render the shapes and UI.

    • Pros:

      • Less likely to face efficiency issues since changing of the UI elements happens locally.

    • Cons:

      • Hard to implement.

4.7. [Proposed] Data Encryption

{Explain here how the data encryption feature will be implemented}

4.8. Logging

We are using java.util.logging package for logging. The LogsCenter class is used to manage the logging levels and logging destinations.

  • The logging level can be controlled using the logLevel setting in the configuration file (See Section 4.9, “Configuration”)

  • The Logger for a class can be obtained using LogsCenter.getLogger(Class) which will log messages according to the specified logging level

  • Currently log messages are output through: Console and to a .log file.

Logging Levels

  • SEVERE : Critical problem detected which may possibly cause the termination of the application.

  • WARNING : Can continue, but with caution.

  • INFO : Information showing the noteworthy actions by the App.

  • FINE : Details that is not usually noteworthy but may be useful in debugging e.g. print the actual list instead of just its size.

4.9. Configuration

Certain properties of the application can be controlled (e.g App name, logging level) through the configuration file (default: config.json).

5. Documentation

This section contains information on how we manage the documentation for CLInic. We use asciidoc for writing documentation.
We chose asciidoc over Markdown because asciidoc, although a bit more complex than Markdown, provides more flexibility in formatting.

5.1. Editing Documentation

See UsingGradle.adoc to learn how to render .adoc files locally to preview the end result of your edits. Alternatively, you can download the AsciiDoc plugin for IntelliJ, which allows you to preview the changes you have made to your .adoc files in real-time.

5.2. Publishing Documentation

See UsingTravis.adoc to learn how to deploy GitHub Pages using Travis.

5.3. Converting Documentation to PDF format

We use Google Chrome for converting documentation to PDF format, as Chrome’s PDF engine preserves hyperlinks used in webpages.

Here are the steps to convert the project documentation files to PDF format.

  1. Follow the instructions in UsingGradle.adoc to convert the AsciiDoc files in the docs/ directory to HTML format.

  2. Go to your generated HTML files in the build/docs folder, right click on them and select Open withGoogle Chrome.

  3. Within Chrome, click on the Print option in Chrome’s menu.

  4. Set the destination to Save as PDF, then click Save to save a copy of the file in PDF format. For best results, use the settings indicated in the screenshot below.

chrome save as pdf
Figure 33. Saving documentation as PDF files in Chrome

5.4. Site-wide Documentation Settings

The build.gradle file specifies some project-specific asciidoc attributes which affects how all documentation files within this project are rendered.

Attributes left unset in the build.gradle file will use their default value, if any.
Table 1. List of site-wide attributes
Attribute name Description Default value

site-name

The name of the website. If set, the name will be displayed near the top of the page.

not set

site-githuburl

URL to the site’s repository on GitHub. Setting this will add a "View on GitHub" link in the navigation bar.

not set

site-seedu

Define this attribute if the project is an official SE-EDU project. This will render the SE-EDU navigation bar at the top of the page, and add some SE-EDU-specific navigation items.

not set

5.5. Per-file Documentation Settings

Each .adoc file may also specify some file-specific asciidoc attributes which affects how the file is rendered.

Asciidoctor’s built-in attributes may be specified and used as well.

Attributes left unset in .adoc files will use their default value, if any.
Table 2. List of per-file attributes, excluding Asciidoctor’s built-in attributes
Attribute name Description Default value

site-section

Site section that the document belongs to. This will cause the associated item in the navigation bar to be highlighted. One of: UserGuide, DeveloperGuide, LearningOutcomes*, AboutUs, ContactUs

* Official SE-EDU projects only

not set

no-site-header

Set this attribute to remove the site navigation bar.

not set

5.6. Site Template

The files in docs/stylesheets are the CSS stylesheets of the site. You can modify them to change some properties of the site’s design.

The files in docs/templates controls the rendering of .adoc files into HTML5. These template files are written in a mixture of Ruby and Slim.

Modifying the template files in docs/templates requires some knowledge and experience with Ruby and Asciidoctor’s API. You should only modify them if you need greater control over the site’s layout than what stylesheets can provide. The SE-EDU team does not provide support for modified template files.

6. Testing

This section contains information on how to run tests and the different kind of tests in CLInic.

6.1. Running Tests

There are three ways to run tests.

The most reliable way to run tests is the 3rd one. The first two methods might fail some GUI tests due to platform/resolution-specific idiosyncrasies.

Method 1: Using IntelliJ JUnit test runner

  • To run all tests, right-click on the src/test/java folder and choose Run 'All Tests'

  • To run a subset of tests, you can right-click on a test package, test class, or a test and choose Run 'ABC'

Method 2: Using Gradle

  • Open a console and run the command gradlew clean allTests (Mac/Linux: ./gradlew clean allTests)

See UsingGradle.adoc for more info on how to run tests using Gradle.

Method 3: Using Gradle (headless)

Thanks to the TestFX library we use, our GUI tests can be run in the headless mode. In the headless mode, GUI tests do not show up on the screen. That means the developer can do other things on the Computer while the tests are running.

To run tests in headless mode, open a console and run the command gradlew clean headless allTests (Mac/Linux: ./gradlew clean headless allTests)

6.2. Types of tests

We have two types of tests:

  1. GUI Tests - These are tests involving the GUI. They include,

    1. System Tests that test the entire App by simulating user actions on the GUI. These are in the systemtests package.

    2. Unit tests that test the individual components. These are in seedu.address.ui package.

  2. Non-GUI Tests - These are tests not involving the GUI. They include,

    1. Unit tests targeting the lowest level methods/classes.
      e.g. seedu.address.commons.StringUtilTest

    2. Integration tests that are checking the integration of multiple code units (those code units are assumed to be working).
      e.g. seedu.address.storage.StorageManagerTest

    3. Hybrids of unit and integration tests. These test are checking multiple code units as well as how the are connected together.
      e.g. seedu.address.logic.LogicManagerTest

6.3. Troubleshooting Testing

Problem: HelpWindowTest fails with a NullPointerException.

  • Reason: One of its dependencies, HelpWindow.html in src/main/resources/docs is missing.

  • Solution: Execute Gradle task processResources.

7. Dev Ops

This section contains more information on future developments and the tools we use for different aspects of development.

7.1. Build Automation

See UsingGradle.adoc to learn how to use Gradle for build automation.

7.2. Continuous Integration

We use Travis CI and AppVeyor to perform Continuous Integration on our projects. See UsingTravis.adoc and UsingAppVeyor.adoc for more details.

7.3. Coverage Reporting

We use Coveralls to track the code coverage of our projects. See UsingCoveralls.adoc for more details.

7.4. Documentation Previews

When a pull request has changes to asciidoc files, you can use Netlify to see a preview of how the HTML version of those asciidoc files will look like when the pull request is merged. See UsingNetlify.adoc for more details.

7.5. Making a Release

Here are the steps to create a new release.

  1. Update the version number in MainApp.java.

  2. Generate a JAR file using Gradle.

  3. Tag the repo with the version number. e.g. v0.1

  4. Create a new release using GitHub and upload the JAR file you created.

7.6. Managing Dependencies

A project often depends on third-party libraries. For example, Address Book depends on the Jackson library for XML parsing. Managing these dependencies can be automated using Gradle. For example, Gradle can download the dependencies automatically, which is better than these alternatives.
a. Include those libraries in the repo (this bloats the repo size)
b. Require developers to download those libraries manually (this creates extra work for developers)

Appendix A: Suggested Programming Tasks to Get Started

Suggested path for new programmers:

  1. First, add small local-impact (i.e. the impact of the change does not go beyond the component) enhancements to one component at a time. Some suggestions are given in Section A.1, “Improving each component”.

  2. Next, add a feature that touches multiple components to learn how to implement an end-to-end feature across all components. Section A.2, “Creating a new command: remark explains how to go about adding such a feature.

A.1. Improving each component

Each individual exercise in this section is component-based (i.e. you would not need to modify the other components to get it to work).

Logic component

Scenario: You are in charge of logic. During dog-fooding, your team realize that it is troublesome for the user to type the whole command in order to execute a command. Your team devise some strategies to help cut down the amount of typing necessary, and one of the suggestions was to implement aliases for the command words. Your job is to implement such aliases.

Do take a look at Section 3.3, “Logic component” before attempting to modify the Logic component.
  1. Add a shorthand equivalent alias for each of the individual commands. For example, besides typing clear, the user can also type c to remove all patients in the list.

    • Hints

    • Solution

      • Modify the switch statement in AddressBookParser#parseCommand(String) such that both the proper command word and alias can be used to execute the same intended command.

      • Add new tests for each of the aliases that you have added.

      • Update the user guide to document the new aliases.

      • See this PR for the full solution.

Model component

Scenario: You are in charge of model. One day, the logic-in-charge approaches you for help. He wants to implement a command such that the user is able to remove a particular tag from everyone in the address book, but the model API does not support such a functionality at the moment. Your job is to implement an API method, so that your teammate can use your API to implement his command.

Do take a look at Section 3.4, “Model component” before attempting to modify the Model component.
  1. Add a removeTag(Tag) method. The specified tag will be removed from everyone in the address book.

    • Hints

      • The Model and the AddressBook API need to be updated.

      • Think about how you can use SLAP to design the method. Where should we place the main logic of deleting tags?

      • Find out which of the existing API methods in AddressBook and Person classes can be used to implement the tag removal logic. AddressBook allows you to update a patient, and Person allows you to update the tags.

    • Solution

      • Implement a removeTag(Tag) method in AddressBook. Loop through each patient, and remove the tag from each patient.

      • Add a new API method deleteTag(Tag) in ModelManager. Your ModelManager should call AddressBook#removeTag(Tag).

      • Add new tests for each of the new public methods that you have added.

      • See this PR for the full solution.

Ui component

Scenario: You are in charge of ui. During a beta testing session, your team is observing how the users use your address book application. You realize that one of the users occasionally tries to delete non-existent tags from a contact, because the tags all look the same visually, and the user got confused. Another user made a typing mistake in his command, but did not realize he had done so because the error message wasn’t prominent enough. A third user keeps scrolling down the list, because he keeps forgetting the index of the last patient in the list. Your job is to implement improvements to the UI to solve all these problems.

Do take a look at Section 3.2, “UI component” before attempting to modify the UI component.
  1. Use different colors for different tags inside patient cards. For example, friends tags can be all in brown, and colleagues tags can be all in yellow.

    Before

    getting started ui tag before

    After

    getting started ui tag after
    • Hints

      • The tag labels are created inside the PersonCard constructor (new Label(tag.tagName)). JavaFX’s Label class allows you to modify the style of each Label, such as changing its color.

      • Use the .css attribute -fx-background-color to add a color.

      • You may wish to modify DarkTheme.css to include some pre-defined colors using css, especially if you have experience with web-based css.

    • Solution

      • You can modify the existing test methods for PersonCard 's to include testing the tag’s color as well.

      • See this PR for the full solution.

        • The PR uses the hash code of the tag names to generate a color. This is deliberately designed to ensure consistent colors each time the application runs. You may wish to expand on this design to include additional features, such as allowing users to set their own tag colors, and directly saving the colors to storage, so that tags retain their colors even if the hash code algorithm changes.

  2. Modify NewResultAvailableEvent such that ResultDisplay can show a different style on error (currently it shows the same regardless of errors).

    Before

    getting started ui result before

    After

    getting started ui result after
  3. Modify the StatusBarFooter to show the total number of people in the address book.

    Before

    getting started ui status before

    After

    getting started ui status after
    • Hints

      • StatusBarFooter.fxml will need a new StatusBar. Be sure to set the GridPane.columnIndex properly for each StatusBar to avoid misalignment!

      • StatusBarFooter needs to initialize the status bar on application start, and to update it accordingly whenever the address book is updated.

    • Solution

Storage component

Scenario: You are in charge of storage. For your next project milestone, your team plans to implement a new feature of saving the address book to the cloud. However, the current implementation of the application constantly saves the address book after the execution of each command, which is not ideal if the user is working on limited internet connection. Your team decided that the application should instead save the changes to a temporary local backup file first, and only upload to the cloud after the user closes the application. Your job is to implement a backup API for the address book storage.

Do take a look at Section 3.5, “Storage component” before attempting to modify the Storage component.
  1. Add a new method backupAddressBook(ReadOnlyAddressBook), so that the address book can be saved in a fixed temporary location.

A.2. Creating a new command: remark

By creating this command, you will get a chance to learn how to implement a feature end-to-end, touching all major components of the app.

Scenario: You are a software maintainer for addressbook, as the former developer team has moved on to new projects. The current users of your application have a list of new feature requests that they hope the software will eventually have. The most popular request is to allow adding additional comments/notes about a particular contact, by providing a flexible remark field for each contact, rather than relying on tags alone. After designing the specification for the remark command, you are convinced that this feature is worth implementing. Your job is to implement the remark command.

A.2.1. Description

Edits the remark for a patient specified in the INDEX.
Format: remark INDEX r/[REMARK]

Examples:

  • remark 1 r/Likes to drink coffee.
    Edits the remark for the first patient to Likes to drink coffee.

  • remark 1 r/
    Removes the remark for the first patient.

A.2.2. Step-by-step Instructions

[Step 1] Logic: Teach the app to accept 'remark' which does nothing

Let’s start by teaching the application how to parse a remark command. We will add the logic of remark later.

Main:

  1. Add a RemarkCommand that extends Command. Upon execution, it should just throw an Exception.

  2. Modify AddressBookParser to accept a RemarkCommand.

Tests:

  1. Add RemarkCommandTest that tests that execute() throws an Exception.

  2. Add new test method to AddressBookParserTest, which tests that typing "remark" returns an instance of RemarkCommand.

[Step 2] Logic: Teach the app to accept 'remark' arguments

Let’s teach the application to parse arguments that our remark command will accept. E.g. 1 r/Likes to drink coffee.

Main:

  1. Modify RemarkCommand to take in an Index and String and print those two parameters as the error message.

  2. Add RemarkCommandParser that knows how to parse two arguments, one index and one with prefix 'r/'.

  3. Modify AddressBookParser to use the newly implemented RemarkCommandParser.

Tests:

  1. Modify RemarkCommandTest to test the RemarkCommand#equals() method.

  2. Add RemarkCommandParserTest that tests different boundary values for RemarkCommandParser.

  3. Modify AddressBookParserTest to test that the correct command is generated according to the user input.

[Step 3] Ui: Add a placeholder for remark in PersonCard

Let’s add a placeholder on all our PersonCard s to display a remark for each patient later.

Main:

  1. Add a Label with any random text inside PersonListCard.fxml.

  2. Add FXML annotation in PersonCard to tie the variable to the actual label.

Tests:

  1. Modify PersonCardHandle so that future tests can read the contents of the remark label.

[Step 4] Model: Add Remark class

We have to properly encapsulate the remark in our Person class. Instead of just using a String, let’s follow the conventional class structure that the codebase already uses by adding a Remark class.

Main:

  1. Add Remark to model component (you can copy from Address, remove the regex and change the names accordingly).

  2. Modify RemarkCommand to now take in a Remark instead of a String.

Tests:

  1. Add test for Remark, to test the Remark#equals() method.

[Step 5] Model: Modify Person to support a Remark field

Now we have the Remark class, we need to actually use it inside Person.

Main:

  1. Add getRemark() in Person.

  2. You may assume that the user will not be able to use the add and edit commands to modify the remarks field (i.e. the patient will be created without a remark).

  3. Modify SampleDataUtil to add remarks for the sample data (delete your addressBook.xml so that the application will load the sample data when you launch it.)

[Step 6] Storage: Add Remark field to XmlAdaptedPerson class

We now have Remark s for Person s, but they will be gone when we exit the application. Let’s modify XmlAdaptedPerson to include a Remark field so that it will be saved.

Main:

  1. Add a new Xml field for Remark.

Tests:

  1. Fix invalidAndValidPersonAddressBook.xml, typicalPersonsAddressBook.xml, validAddressBook.xml etc., such that the XML tests will not fail due to a missing <remark> element.

[Step 6b] Test: Add withRemark() for PersonBuilder

Since Person can now have a Remark, we should add a helper method to PersonBuilder, so that users are able to create remarks when building a Person.

Tests:

  1. Add a new method withRemark() for PersonBuilder. This method will create a new Remark for the patient that it is currently building.

  2. Try and use the method on any sample Person in TypicalPersons.

[Step 7] Ui: Connect Remark field to PersonCard

Our remark label in PersonCard is still a placeholder. Let’s bring it to life by binding it with the actual remark field.

Main:

  1. Modify PersonCard's constructor to bind the Remark field to the Person 's remark.

Tests:

  1. Modify GuiTestAssert#assertCardDisplaysPerson(…​) so that it will compare the now-functioning remark label.

[Step 8] Logic: Implement RemarkCommand#execute() logic

We now have everything set up…​ but we still can’t modify the remarks. Let’s finish it up by adding in actual logic for our remark command.

Main:

  1. Replace the logic in RemarkCommand#execute() (that currently just throws an Exception), with the actual logic to modify the remarks of a patient.

Tests:

  1. Update RemarkCommandTest to test that the execute() logic works.
