Project: ForYourInterest

ForYourInterest - ForYourInterest is a desktop app for managing members in university clubs/societies, optimized for use via a Command Line Interface (CLI) while still having the benefits of a Graphical User Interface (GUI).

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: Added ability to chain commands with &&
    • What it does: allows users to chain multiple commands together into one long command chain. Each command will execute sequentially.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly for advanced level users because a user can chain command they want to execute to be written in a row instead of having to enter each command individually.
    • Highlights: This feature has a clever use of recursion to be able to accept multiple chaining attempts. It extends from the basic command regex checker in AddressBookParser and adds an advanced command regex checker.

New Feature: Added ability to set and use an alias

  • What it does: allows the user to save a command as an alias and subsequently be able to use that alias to execute the command.
  • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly for advanced level users because a user can set commonly used commands to a shorter alias for speedier usage of the app.

  • Highlights: This feature made use of many of the previously added utilities and support for command parsing while requiring a deep analysis in to the design to be able to implement the different stages needed for setting an alias and then executing the alias.
