Project: PeopleSoft

PeopleSoft is a CLI-based payroll management app for companies handling contractor-based services.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: Display of an overview of commands on the HelpWindow page
    • What it does: Allow for the display of messages from all command classes on a singular UI component.
    • Justification: In previous iterations, the HelpWindow contained a button that linked to the user guide on Github. While this technically fits the wording of the help command provided in the user guide, displaying the commands directly would be more user-friendly.
      • Highlights: A previous implementation was considered following the implementation for Person with similar CommandHelpMessageCard and CommandHelpMessageListPanel classes. TableView was selectively chosen over this implementation given its relative ease of use.
    • Credits: Amos Chepchieng from Medium for populating TableView with data programmatically

  • Code contributed: RepoSense link
