1. Setting up

1.1. 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

   ℹ️	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.

1.2. 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 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 HelpWindowTest.java for code errors, and if so, resolve it the same way)

1.3. Verifying the setup

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

2. Run the tests to ensure they all pass.

1.4. Configurations to do before writing code

1.4.1. 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.

1.4.2. 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.

1.4.3. 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).

ℹ️	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).

ℹ️	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)

1.4.4. Getting started with coding

When you are ready to start coding,

1. Get some sense of the overall design by reading Section 2.1, “Architecture”.

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

2. Design

2.1. 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. The following class plays an important role at the architecture level:

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

The rest of the App consists of four 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.

Figure 2. Class Diagram of the Logic Component

How the architecture components interact with each other

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

Figure 3. Component interactions for delete 1 command

The sections below give more details of each component.

2.2. UI component

Figure 4. 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.

• Listens for changes to Model data so that the UI can be updated with the modified data.

2.3. Logic component

Figure 5. 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 person).

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

5. In addition, the CommandResult object can also instruct the Ui to perform certain actions, such as displaying help to the user.

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

Figure 6. Interactions Inside the Logic Component for the delete 1 Command

2.4. Model component

Figure 7. 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> 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.

The addition of the 'Company' class has altered the 'Model Class Diagram' in several ways

• In order to store the list of companies required for the application, a 'UniqueCompanyList' class was added

• The company class was added in order to distinguish between company and person objects within the UI

• Each class has the same attributes but each with a different connotations

At the current time, with the commands 'addcpny' and 'listcpny' the user can add a company to the address book and list all of the companies added respectively

ℹ️	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.

2.5. Storage component

Figure 8. 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 json format and read it back.

2.6. Common classes

Classes used by multiple components are in the seedu.addressbook.commons package.

3. Implementation

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

3.1. Undo/Redo feature

3.1.1. 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.

Step 2. The user executes delete 5 command to delete the 5th person 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.

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

ℹ️	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 person 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.

ℹ️

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:

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.

ℹ️

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.

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.

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

3.1.2. Design Considerations

Aspect: How undo & redo executes

• Alternative 1 (current choice): Saves 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 person 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.

3.2. Favorite System

3.2.1. Current Implementation

The favorite system is facilitated by AddressBook, it extends the address book system by allowing the user to save/delete/list favorites, stored internally as a UniquePersonList. Additionally, it implements the following operations:

• AddressBook#addFavorites() — Saves the person into the favorites list.

• AddressBook#removeFavorite() — Removes the person from the favorites list.

• AddressBook#hasFavorite() — Checks if the person exists in the favorites list.

• AddressBook#getFavoritesList() — Returns a list of all favorite persons.

These operations are exposed in the Model interface as Model#addFavorites(), Model#removeFavorite(), Model#hasFavorite(), and Model#getFavoritesList().

Given below is an example usage scenario of how the favorite mechanism behaves at each step.

Step 1. The user launches the application for the first time. An empty UniquePersonList is created in AddressBook.

Step 2. The user executes favorite Alex to save the person Alex into their favorites list. The favorite command creates a new NameContainsKeywordsPredicate updating the filteredPersonList and calls Model#addFavorites() and Model#commitAddressBook thereby updating the favorites list stored in AddressBook and updating the filteredPersonList.

Step 3. The user repeats this a few times, adding a few other persons.

Step 4. The user wants to view all favorites and executes listFav to view all favorites. This creates a new PersonIsFavoritePredicate which is passed in a model and calls Model#getFavoritesList and check if it contains the person. The command class then calls Model#updateFilteredPersonList with the predicate to only display all filtered (favorite) persons.

Step 5. The user notices they accidentally added the wrong person (Alex for example) into the favorites list and executes delFav Alex Yeoh to remove them from the favorites list.

The following is a sequence diagram describing the flow of how the favorite command works behind the scenes.

Favorites are stored in addressbook.json as another entry into the existing dictionary of key-value pairs and follows identical architecture to that of adding/removing persons from the personsList.

3.2.2. Design Considerations

Aspect: Data structure to save the favorites

• Alternative 1 (current choice): Save all favorites using a simple list.

  • Pros: Easy to implement.

  • Cons: May have runtime issues in deleting if the list gets large.

• Alternative 2: Linked list to store favorites.

  • Pros: Efficient to delete favorites from anywhere in the list.

  • Cons: We must ensure that the implementation is proper as there is a lot of complexity.

Aspect: Method of marking favorites

• Alternative 1 (current choice): Create another entry into the dictionary within addressbook.json to store favorites over multiple sessions.

  • Pros: Easy to implement, clean seperate commands/functions related to adding/deleting from favorites (doesn’t affect addressbook contacts in any way).

  • Cons: A lot of data is repeated when storing favorites.

• Alternative 2: Create an extra boolean attribute within each person to store favorite status.

  • Pros: More space effective.

  • Cons: We must ensure that the implementation is proper as we can accidentally affect the persons that are regular contacts, harder to visually inspect our json file to see who favorites are/aren’t.

3.3. 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 3.4, “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

3.4. Configuration

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

3.5. Three new attributes: Salary, Occupation, Relationship

3.5.1. Current Implementation

The add Command is modified in this enhancement. Previously, user can only add a person’s name, phone number, address and tags to the address book. After this enhancement, following attributes are added to the person’s information:

• SALARY: salary must be a string with more than one digits

• OCCUPATION: occupation can be a string with any characters

• RELATIONSHIP: relationship must be a string with one word (no blank allowed)

How to implement the command

Users just input: add n/NAME p/PHONE e/EMAIL a/ADDRESS s/SALARY o/OCCUPATION r/RELATIONSHIP [t/TAG] Example: add n/John Doe p/98765432 e/[email protected] a/311, Clementi Ave 2, #02-25 s/100000o/bankerr/singlet/friends t/owesMoney

Pros and Cons

• Pros: Easy to implement, and the add format just follows the previous version

• Cons: When implementing add Command, Users must add all information except the optional TAG attribute, this makes the command not flexible enough

4. Documentation

We use asciidoc for writing documentation.

ℹ️	We chose asciidoc over Markdown because asciidoc, although a bit more complex than Markdown, provides more flexibility in formatting.

4.1. 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.

4.2. Publishing Documentation

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

4.3. 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 with → Google 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.

Figure 9. Saving documentation as PDF files in Chrome

4.4. 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

4.5. 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

4.6. 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.

5. Testing

5.1. 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)

ℹ️	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)

5.2. 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

5.3. 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.

6. Dev Ops

6.1. Build Automation

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

6.2. Continuous Integration

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

6.3. Coverage Reporting

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

6.4. 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.

6.5. 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.

6.6. Managing Dependencies

A project often depends on third-party libraries. For example, Address Book depends on the Jackson library for JSON parsing. Managing these dependencies can be automated using Gradle. For example, Gradle can download the dependencies automatically, which is better than these alternatives:

1. Include those libraries in the repo (this bloats the repo size)

2. 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 2.3, “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 persons in the list.

   • Hints

     • Just like we store each individual command word constant COMMAND_WORD inside *Command.java (e.g. FindCommand#COMMAND_WORD, DeleteCommand#COMMAND_WORD), you need a new constant for aliases as well (e.g. FindCommand#COMMAND_ALIAS).

     • AddressBookParser is responsible for analyzing command words.

   • 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 2.4, “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 person, and Person allows you to update the tags.

   • Solution

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

     • 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 person in the list. Your job is to implement improvements to the UI to solve all these problems.

💡	Do take a look at Section 2.2, “UI component” before attempting to modify the UI component.

1. Use different colors for different tags inside person cards. For example, friends tags can be all in brown, and colleagues tags can be all in yellow.

   Before

   

   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

   

   After

   

   • Hints

     • NewResultAvailableEvent is raised by CommandBox which also knows whether the result is a success or failure, and is caught by ResultDisplay which is where we want to change the style to.

     • Refer to CommandBox for an example on how to display an error.

   • Solution

     • Modify NewResultAvailableEvent 's constructor so that users of the event can indicate whether an error has occurred.

     • Modify ResultDisplay#handleNewResultAvailableEvent(NewResultAvailableEvent) to react to this event appropriately.

     • You can write two different kinds of tests to ensure that the functionality works:

       • The unit tests for ResultDisplay can be modified to include verification of the color.

       • The system tests AddressBookSystemTest#assertCommandBoxShowsDefaultStyle() and AddressBookSystemTest#assertCommandBoxShowsErrorStyle() to include verification for ResultDisplay as well.

     • See this PR for the full solution.

       • Do read the commits one at a time if you feel overwhelmed.

3. Modify the StatusBarFooter to show the total number of people in the address book.

   Before

   

   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

     • Modify the constructor of StatusBarFooter to take in the number of persons when the application just started.

     • Use StatusBarFooter#handleAddressBookChangedEvent(AddressBookChangedEvent) to update the number of persons whenever there are new changes to the addressbook.

     • For tests, modify StatusBarFooterHandle by adding a state-saving functionality for the total number of people status, just like what we did for save location and sync status.

     • For system tests, modify AddressBookSystemTest to also verify the new total number of persons status bar.

     • See this PR for the full 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 2.5, “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.

   • Hint

     • Add the API method in AddressBookStorage interface.

     • Implement the logic in StorageManager and JsonAddressBookStorage class.

   • Solution

     • See this PR for the full solution.

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 person specified in the INDEX.
Format: remark INDEX r/[REMARK]

Examples:

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

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

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 person 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 person will be created without a remark).

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

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

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

Main:

1. Add a new JSON field for Remark.

Tests:

1. Fix invalidAndValidPersonAddressBook.json, typicalPersonsAddressBook.json, validAddressBook.json etc., such that the JSON tests will not fail due to a missing remark field.

[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 person 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 person.

Tests:

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