Project: NUS Classes

NUS Classes is an all-in-one task and contacts organizer for NUS Computing professors. It is written in Java.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New feature: Implement the model and storage parts to facilitate a Task entity
    • What it does: Allow users to add their tasks to NUS Classes.
    • Justification: Users can use the feature to be well organised with their tasks
  • New Feature: Assign, unassign command
    • What it does: Allow users to assign and unassign contacts from tasks
    • Justification: Users can use the feature for bookkeeping purposes as well as to facilitate other contact-related commands.
    • Highlights: Users can use the gen command to easily generate and copy all emails related to a task for ease of communication.
  • New Feature: Generate emails command
    • What it does: Users can use the gen command to easily generate and copy all emails related to a task, then paste into their preferred email client.
    • Justification: Users have an easy way to contact all contacts related to a task in case urgent dissemination of information is required (e.g. in the event of unforeseen circumstances)
  • New Feature: Date and time range for events
    • What it does: Users can specify a stand and end date and time for tasks (as opposed to just one single deadline) to represent events that occur during a specific interval.
    • Justification: Users can easily keep track of start and end timings for events.
  • New Feature: User-friendly date and time display
    • What it does: Instead of displaying all dates in full e.g.13 May 2022, 3.00pm - 13 May 2022, 5.00pm, dates are displayed relative to the current date
    • Examples:
      • Today for tasks that occur on the current calendar day,
      • Friday for tasks that occur on the same week
      • 13 Apr (omitting the year for tasks that occur on the same calendar year)
      • Today, 3.00 pm - 5.00 pm (not repeating the end date when it is the same as the start date)
    • Justification: Dates are far more intuitive and easy to read for the user.
  • New Feature: Import contacts from .csv
    • What it does: Import contacts from a .csv file to create contacts in NUS Classes.
    • Justification: It can be incredibly time-consuming and tedious to add all contacts manually.
    • Highlights: Users can easily export contacts from a spreadsheet containing contacts and relevant headers to import the contacts into NUS Classes.

  • Code contributed: RepoSense link

  • Project management:
    • Managed all releases v1.1 - v1.4 (4 releases) on GitHub
  • Enhancements to existing features:
    • Updates and deletions to contacts are propagated to all tasks to ensure consistency in the model side of things.
    • Limit tag length to 50 characters to avoid UI bugging out (part of the tag getting obscured)
    • Polish GUI text feedback (e.g. message usages, fix typos and phrase messages better)
    • Adjust name constraints to allow symbols that are commonly present in names (e.g. Martin Luther King, Jr., Joseph Lewitt-Hewman, Raj s/o Rajesh)
    • Change clear command to delete task data as well as contact data
  • Documentation:
    • User Guide:
      • Added documentation for the features clear, import and gen
      • Did cosmetic tweaks to existing documentation of features clear, exit: #74
    • Developer Guide:
      • Added implementation details of the deletec feature.
      • Added design considerations for how tasks should be updated when contacts are deleted or updated.
      • Updated text to reflect that the storage now handles both tasks and contacts
      • Updated all UML class architecture diagrams to reflect the current status
    • Readme.md, index.md
      • Update links to CI and Codecov that was previously linking to AB-3
