Project: ArtBuddy

ArtBuddy (AB) a desktop application that helps commission-based artists manage their customers, commissions, and artworks easily. Written in Java, ArtBuddy is primarily optimised for use via a Command Line Interface (CLI), but also comes with a GUI created using JavaFX. It has about 14 kLoC.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • Key Contribution: Added the Commission model #68
    • What it does:
      • Created classes for Commissions and its attributes.
      • Integrated them with Storage.
      • Added all initial Commission CRUD methods to AddressBook and ModelManager to act as the initial convenient interface to use for all commission-related commands.
      • Integrated the Commission list into the UI.
    • Justification:
      • This was a prerequisite to all commission-related commands that we wanted to implement.
    • Highlights:
      • This enhancement was one of the first code-related PRs and required working with three components (Ui, Model, Storage). It ended up being quite huge and challenging, requiring a good understanding of many components to implement it without breaking existing abstractions.
  • New feature: Added Commission Commands [CRUD]
    • Added editcom #109
    • Added delcom #68
    • Added opencom #91
    • What it does: Adds read, update and delete functionality for commissions.
    • Justification: Commissions are a core feature of our application and hence all its CRUD functionality are necessary for our product.
