Day In Review

I was on the Hosemonster project again today. We were able to finish the graphing framework and completed fitting curves to a set of data points. It felt good to have a finished product that we will then plug into the application.

The second half of the day was dedicated to refactoring. The new, edit, and view pages for our models were all basic and contained many repeating portions. In order to stay DRY and to help keep the system simple we started refactoring to collapse the new, edit, and view pages of our models into one page that then tweaks itself dependent on a parameter corresponding to a action which is passed down. I liked this refactoring since it meant we had a pattern to follow as more and more models are introduced to the system.

Another refactoring we had was to collapse the Interactor's update and create functions into one save function. Again, these two functions contained a lot of the same lines and in order to stay DRY we collapsed them upon each other. This change was fairly simple since we need to create if the model does not have an id and update if it does. This was the only different in the two functions.
