Project: TaskMaster2103

TaskMaster2103 is an extension to AddressBook - Level 3, a CLI-based address book JavaFX application. It adds task-tracking functionalities to the base application, while boasting intuitive GUI features that complement the main CLI workflow.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New feature: Added the ability to filter tasks by tags (GUI: #57, CLI: #75, #144).

    • What it does: allows the user to filter the main task list by certain conditions.
    • Justification: the user may have many tasks; allowing a way to quickly narrow down the scope of displayed tasks is beneficial to efficiency.
    • Highlights: filters are implemented as abstract classes to allow for extensibility (e.g., filter by date range).

  • New feature: Added a GUI dialog interface to create/edit tasks (#86, #179, #185).

    • What it does: allows the user to create/edit tasks using a graphical interface
    • Justification: the CLI version of the interaction requires all fields of the editied task to be specified of the task. The GUI allows the user the edit a single field without having to re-specify other existing fields.
    • Highlights: All GUI interactions route their logic in the same way as a CLI command, reducing the need for repeated code.

  • Code reorganization: Overhauled the command parsing logic for more robust and extensible command handling (#175). New commands can be easily added, command format errors are more succinct. The help window and usage messages are also automatically generated.

    • What it does: parses all instances of abc/def as a command argument with prefix abc/ and value def. This is to prevent unexpected behaviour with the base application, where / was used in all prefixes but could also be present in data values.
    • Justification: Outdated usage messages were common as they were hard-coded strings. Commands knew nothing about their syntax, and handled arguments individually. This caused lots of logic repetition and room for error.
    • Highlights: To solve this, every command and command parser had to be refactored to include information about every parameter accepted, and their multiplicity (optional or not, can accept multiple or not). Once this was done, however, it allowed for many useful abstractions like auto-generation of command usage message, and detailed error messages that tell the user how exactly the format is wrong.

  • Code contributed: RepoSense link

  • Enhancement to existing features

    • Rethemed the GUI to have a more uniform aesthetic (#179).
