Design

:bulb: Tip: The .puml files used to create diagrams in this document can be found in the diagrams folder. Refer to the PlantUML Tutorial at se-edu/guides to learn how to create and edit diagrams.

Architecture

The Architecture Diagram given above explains the high-level design of the App.

Given below is a quick overview of main components and how they interact with each other.

Main components of the architecture

Main has two classes called Main and 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 methods where necessary.

Commons represents a collection of classes used by multiple other components.

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.

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.

Each of the four main components (also shown in the diagram above),

  • defines its API in an interface with the same name as the Component.
  • implements its functionality using a concrete {Component Name}Manager class (which follows the corresponding API interface mentioned in the previous point.

For example, the Logic component defines its API in the Logic.java interface and implements its functionality using the LogicManager.java class which follows the Logic interface. Other components interact with a given component through its interface rather than the concrete class (reason: to prevent outside components being coupled to the implementation of a component), as illustrated in the (partial) class diagram below.

The sections below give more details of each component.

UI component

The API of this component is specified in Ui.java

Structure of the UI Component

The UI consists of a MainWindow that is made up of parts e.g.CommandBox, ResultDisplay, PersonListPanel, StatusBarFooter etc. All these, including the MainWindow, inherit from the abstract UiPart class which captures the commonalities between classes that represent parts of the visible GUI.

The UI component uses the 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.
  • keeps a reference to the Logic component, because the UI relies on the Logic to execute commands.
  • depends on some classes in the Model component, as it displays Person object residing in the Model.

Logic component

API : Logic.java

Here’s a (partial) class diagram of the Logic component:

How the Logic component works:

  1. When Logic is called upon to execute a command, it uses the AddressBookParser class to parse the user command & saves it into the HistoryList class.
  2. This results in a Command object (more precisely, an object of one of its subclasses e.g., AddCommand) which is executed by the LogicManager.
  3. The command can communicate with the Model when it is executed (e.g. to add a person).
  4. The result of the command execution is encapsulated as a CommandResult object which is returned back from Logic.

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

Interactions Inside the Logic Component for the `delete 1` Command

:information_source: Note: The lifeline for DeleteCommandParser should end at the destroy marker (X) but due to a limitation of PlantUML, the lifeline reaches the end of diagram.

Here are the other classes in Logic (omitted from the class diagram above) that are used for parsing a user command:

How the parsing works:

  • When called upon to parse a user command, the AddressBookParser class creates an XYZCommandParser (XYZ is a placeholder for the specific command name e.g., AddCommandParser) which uses the other classes shown above to parse the user command and create a XYZCommand object (e.g., AddCommand) which the AddressBookParser returns back as a Command object.
  • All XYZCommandParser classes (e.g., AddCommandParser, DeleteCommandParser, …) inherit from the Parser interface so that they can be treated similarly where possible e.g, during testing.

Model component

API : Model.java

The Model component,

  • stores the address book data i.e., all Person objects (which are contained in a UniquePersonList object).
  • stores the currently ‘selected’ Person objects (e.g., results of a search query) as a separate filtered list which is exposed to outsiders as 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.
  • stores a UserPref object that represents the user’s preferences. This is exposed to the outside as a ReadOnlyUserPref objects.
  • does not depend on any of the other three components (as the Model represents data entities of the domain, they should make sense on their own without depending on other components)
:information_source: Note: An alternative (arguably, a more OOP) model is given below. It has a Tag list in the uNivUSal, which Person references. This allows uNivUSal to only require one Tag object per unique tag, instead of each Person needing their own Tag objects.

Storage component

API : Storage.java

The Storage component,

  • can save both address book data and user preference data in json format, and read them back into corresponding objects.
  • inherits from both AddressBookStorage and UserPrefStorage, which means it can be treated as either one (if only the functionality of only one is needed).
  • depends on some classes in the Model component (because the Storage component’s job is to save/retrieve objects that belong to the Model)

Common classes

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


Implementation

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

Social feature

Implementation

The social feature is facilitated by a new class Social, which will be a new field of the Person class. Additionally, it implements the following features:

  • Social#addWhatsapp() - Adds a link to the Person object’s Whatsapp account.
  • Social#addTelegram() - Adds a link to the Person object’s Telegram account.
  • Social#addInstagram() - Adds a link to the Person object’s Instagram account.
  • Social#addEmail() - Adds a link to the Person object’s Email account.
  • Social#prefer() - Sets one of the added social media account to be the preferred mode of communication.
  • Social#deleteWhatsapp() - Deletes the Whatsapp account of the Social class.
  • Social#deleteTelegram() - Deletes the Telegram account of the Social class.
  • Social#deleteEmail() - Deletes the Email account of the Social class.
  • Social#deleteInstagram() - Deletes the Instagram account of the Social class.
  • Social#deletePreferred() - Sets the preferred account of the Social class to null.
  • Social#openWhatsapp() - Converts the Whatsapp account of the Social class into a link and opens the link on the default browser.
  • Social#openTelegram() - Converts the Telegram account of the Social class into a link and opens the link on the default browser.
  • Social#openEmail() - Converts the Email of the Social class into a link and opens the link on the default browser.
  • Social#openInstagram() - Converts the Instagram account of the Social class into a link and opens the link on the default browser.
  • Social#openPreferred() - Converts the preferred social media account of the Social class into a link and opens the link on the default browser.

The social feature also makes use of the IncludeCommand, ExcludeCommand, OpenCommand and PreferCommand which gets the user input to change the Social class of a Person object. The following are features of the Command Classes that changes the Social class of a Person object by making use of the Social features above.

  • IncludeCommand#execute() - Adds a link to the Person object’s Social.
  • ExcludeCommand#execute() - Deletes a link in the Person object’s Social.
  • OpenCommand#execute() - Opens a link in the Person object’s Social.
  • PreferCommand#execute() - Sets a preferred social medial in the Person object’s Social.
:information_source: Note: The Social’s open feature are also converted into Buttons under the PersonCard of the UI component. When users click on the certain social media boxes of the Person in their contact, it runs the respective openXXX() feature of the Social class, where XXX is the social media account.

Given below is an example usage scenario and how the Social feature behaves at each step.

Step 1. The user executes include 1 s/TELEGRAM #/JohnDoe123 to add the Telegram account JohnDoe123 to the Telegram social media of the person at index 1 in the list. The AddressBookParser then calls IncludeCommand(1, TELEGRAM, JohnDoe123) to add the command to the queue. The IncludeCommand then calls Social.addTelegram(JohnDoe123) of the first person in the list to add the Telegram username JohnDoe123.

Step 2. The user executes include 1 s/WHATSAPP #/12345678 to add the Whatsapp account 12345678 to the Whatsapp social media of the person at index 1 in the list. The AddressBookParser then calls IncludeCommand(1, WHATSAPP, 12345678) to add the command to the queue. The IncludeCommand then calls Social.addWhatsapp(12345678) of the first person in the list to add the Whatsapp account 12345678.

Step 3. The user executes prefer 1 s/TELEGRAM to set the preferred mode of communication of the person at index 1 in the list to the Telegram social media account. The AddressBookParser then calls PreferCommand.prefer(1, TELEGRAM) to add the command to the queue. The PreferCommand then calls Social.prefer(TELEGRAM) of the first person in the list to set the Telegram account as the preferred social media.

Step 4. The user realises that the added Telegram account of the first person is wrong. The user executes include 1 s/TELEGRAM #/TomDoe321 to set the Telegram account TomDoe321 to be the latest Telegram social media account of the first person in the list. The AddressBookParser then calls IncludeCommand(1, TELEGRAM, TomDoe321) to add the command to the queue. The IncludeCommand then calls Social.addTelegram(TomDoe321) of the first person in the list to add the Telegram username TomDoe321.

Step 5. The user realises that the preferred mode of communication of the first person in the list is actually Whatsapp. The user executes prefer 1 s/WHATSAPP to set the preferred mode of communication of the first person in the list to the Whatsapp social media account. The AddressBookParser then calls PreferCommand.prefer(1, WHATSAPP) to add the command to the queue. The PreferCommand then calls Social.prefer(WHATSAPP) of the first person in the list to set the Whatsapp account as the preferred social media.

Step 6. The user realises that the first person in the contact list does not have a Telegram account. THe user executes exclude 1 s/TELEGRAM to delete the Telegram social media account of the first person in the contact list. The AddressBookParser then calls ExcludeCommand(1, TELEGRAM) to add the command to the queue. The ExcludeCommand then calls Social.deleteTelegram() of the first person in the list to remove the Telegram account information.

The following sequence diagram shows how the IncludeCommand(1, TELEGRAM, JohnDoe123) command works:

CreateGroupSequenceDiagram

:information_source: Note: The lifeline for IncludeCommandParser should end at the destroy marker (X) but due to a limitation of PlantUML, the lifeline reaches the end of diagram.

History feature

Implementation

The proposed history feature is facilitated by managing commands with the new HistoryList component. Additionally, it implements the following features:

  • HistoryList#addToHistory() - Adds a command to a list.
  • HistoryList#isMax() - Checks if the list already has five commands.
  • HistoryList#printList() - Prints the current contents of the list.

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

Step 1. The user executes list to see the list of contacts. The AddressBookParser then calls HistoryList.addToHistory(list) to add the command to the queue.

Step 2. The user executes help to get help for his commands. The AddressBookParser then calls HistoryList.addToHistory(help) to add the command to the queue.

Step 3. The user now wants to see his past few commands and executes history to see. The HistoryCommand then calls the HistoryList.printList() to show the previous commands.

The following sequence diagram shows how the HistoryCommand() command works:

CreateGroupSequenceDiagram

:information_source: Note: If there are no previous commands, then a message indicating there are no commands will be printed.

Grouping feature

Implementation

The grouping feature is facilitated by managing groups with the existing model component. Additionally, it implements the following features:

  • AddToGroup#createGroupedPerson() - Creates a person with the specified group.
  • Ungroup#createUngroupedPerson() - Creates a person with the specified group removed.
  • Group#isShowGroup - Opens a group window to view group members.

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

Step 1. The user executes addtogroup 1 friends to group the first person in the list with “friends”.

Step 2. The AddToGroupCommandParser#parse then parses the arguments.

Step 3. A AddToGroupCommand object is then created.

Step 4. AddToGroupCommand#execute will then call Model#setPerson(target, editedPerson), hence updating the person in AddressBook to be in the group “friends”.

Step 5. CommandResult contains the success message and the person is successfully added to the group “friends”.

The following sequence diagram shows how the add to group operation works, the ungroup command also works in a similar way:

AddToGroupSequenceDiagram

:information_source: Note: The lifeline for AddToGroupCommandParser should end at the destroy marker (X) but due to a limitation of PlantUML, the lifeline reaches the end of diagram.

Undo/redo feature

Implementation

The proposed 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.

UndoRedoState0

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.

UndoRedoState1

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.

UndoRedoState2

:information_source: Note: 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.

UndoRedoState3

:information_source: Note: If the currentStatePointer is at index 0, pointing to the initial AddressBook state, then there are no previous AddressBook 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:

UndoSequenceDiagram

:information_source: Note: The lifeline for UndoCommand should end at the destroy marker (X) but due to a limitation of PlantUML, the lifeline reaches the end of diagram.

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.

:information_source: Note: If the currentStatePointer is at index addressBookStateList.size() - 1, pointing to the latest address book state, then there are no undone AddressBook 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.

UndoRedoState4

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. Reason: It no longer makes sense to redo the add n/David …​ command. This is the behavior that most modern desktop applications follow.

UndoRedoState5

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

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.

{more aspects and alternatives to be added}

Sorting feature

Implementation

The sorting feature sorts persons based on the given input taken as field. It uses the Comparator function.

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

Step 1. The user executes sort n/ to sort the list by n/ which is name, alphabetically.

Step 2. The sortCommandParser#parse then parses the arguments inputted.

Step 3. A SortCommand object is created.

Step 4. SortCommand#execute will then call updateSortedPersonList(comoparator), hence updating the sorted list in the AddressBook based on the parsed comparator, which was NameComparator.

Step 5. CommandResult contains a successful sort message and GUI will show the sorted list.

The following sequence diagram shows how the createGroup() command works:

CreateGroupSequenceDiagram

:information_source: Note: The lifeline for SortCommandParser should end at the destroy marker (X) but due to a limitation of PlantUML, the lifeline reaches the end of diagram.
