2.1. Architecture

Figure 1. Architecture Diagram

The Architecture Diagram given above explains the high-level design of the App. Given below is a quick overview of each component.

The .puml files used to create diagrams in this document can be found in the diagrams folder. Refer to the Using PlantUML guide to learn how to create and edit diagrams.

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 method where necessary.

Commons represents a collection of classes used by multiple other components. The following class plays an important role at the architecture level:

LogsCenter : Used by many classes to write log messages to the App’s log file.

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.

Each of the four components

Defines its API in an interface with the same name as the Component.
Exposes its functionality using a {Component Name}Manager class.

For example, the Logic component (see the class diagram given below) defines it’s API in the Logic.java interface and exposes its functionality using the LogicManager.java class.

Figure 2. Class Diagram of the Logic Component

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 t/exercise i/1.

Figure 3. Component interactions for delete t/exercise i/1 command

The sections below give more details of each component.

2.2. UI component

Figure 4. Structure of the UI Component

API : Ui.java

The UI consists of a MainWindow that is made up of parts e.g.CommandBox, ResultDisplay, ExerciseListPanel, ExerciseCard etc. All these, including the MainWindow, inherit from the abstract UiPart class.

The UI component uses 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.

2.3. Logic component

Figure 5. Structure of the Logic Component

API : Logic.java

Logic uses the ExerciseBookParser class to parse the user command.
This results in a Command object which is executed by the LogicManager.
The command execution can affect the Model (e.g. adding an exercise/regime).
The result of the command execution is encapsulated as a CommandResult object which is passed back to the Ui.
In addition, the CommandResult object can also instruct the Ui to perform certain actions, such as displaying help to the user.

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

Figure 6. Interactions Inside the Logic Component for the delete 1 Command

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.

2.4. Model component

Figure 7. Structure of the Model Component

API : Model.java

The Model

stores a UserPref object that represents the user’s preferences.
stores a PropertyBook object that represents the custom properties defined by the user.
stores a ExerciseBook object that represents the user’s exercises being tracked.
stores a ExerciseDatabaseBook object that represents the database of exercises in ExerHealth.
stores a RegimeBook object that represents the user’s regimes.
stores a ScheduleBook object that represents the user’s schedules.
exposes an unmodifiable ObservableList<Exercise> 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.
does not depend on any of the other three components.

2.5. Storage component

Figure 8. Structure of the Storage Component

API : Storage.java

The Storage component,

can save UserPref objects in json format and read it back.
can save the Resource Book data in json format and read it back.
can save the Property Book data in json format and read it back.

Resource Book data consists of Exercise Book, Regime Book and Schedule Book data

2.6. Common classes

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

3. Implementation

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

3.1. Undo/Redo feature

3.1.1. Implementation

The undo/redo mechanism is facilitated by the events package consisting of EventHistory, EventFactory, EventPayload and the various Event classes.

The EventHistory is a singleton class used to store a history of successfully executed commands as Event objects. Instances of Event are stored in either the undoStack or the redoStack depending on the user’s course of action.

The EventHistory class has two primary methods namely undo(Model model) and redo(Model model):

eventHistory.undo(model) — Undoes the Event at the top of the undoStack, executes it, and pushes it to the top of the redoStack
eventHistory.redo(model) — Redoes the Event at the top of the redoStack, executes it, and pushes it to the top of the undoStack

These operations are utilised in the UndoCommand and RedoCommand respectively.

The following steps will describe the steps taken in the execution of an UndoableCommand, and subsequently the UndoCommand and RedoCommand.

Step 1: When an UndoableCommand is executed, key information used during the command will be added into a newly initialized EventPayload.

The EventPayload is a wrapper class to store key information about the particular command. For instance, if an EditCommand has been executed, the EventPayload will store the originalExercise as well as the editedExercise.

Step 2: The EventFactory takes in the UndoableCommand and generates an Event using the EventPayload stored in the UndoableCommand. The Event is then added to the undo stack of the EventHistory.

The EventFactory checks for the command word of the UndoableCommand to decide which specific Event object to generate. It will then obtain the EventPayload from the UndoableCommand and pass it into the constructor of the Event so that the Event captures the key information of the UndoableCommand.

Step 3: To undo the latest UndoableCommand the user executes the UndoCommand by entering undo into the command box.

Step 4: The UndoCommand executes eventHistory.undo(model), which prompts the EventHistory instance to pop the next Event to undo from the undo stack. Once the Event is undone, it will be pushed to the top of the redo stack.

Step 5: To redo the command that has been undone, the user executes the RedoCommand. This execution behaves similarly to step 4, except that the next Event is taken from the top of the redo stack and pushed to the undo stack instead.

In steps 4 and 5, if any of the respective stack is empty when undo or redo is called, a CommandException will be thrown and an error message will be displayed to indicate there is no undoable or redoable commands.

The following two Sequence Diagrams show a sample flow of the execution when an EditCommand, which is an UndoableCommand, has been executed and subsequently undone.

The first diagram below describes the process of storing an EditEvent to EventHistory during the execution of the EditCommand. The EventPayload is only initialized when the EditCommand is executed. The EventPayload is subsequently used for the initialization of the EditEvent.

Figure 9. The process of storing an EditEvent to EventHistory

The second diagram below describes the process of undoing the executed EditCommand using the UndoCommand. When the UndoCommand is executed, the EventHistory calls the undo method of the next Event in the undo stack (i.e. the EditEvent).

Figure 10. The process of undoing the EditCommand

Given below is a Class Diagram to show the associations between Event, Command and Model. It is specifically designed such that only objects that implement the Event and Command interface will need to handle the model class.

The only commands that implements the UndoableCommand are AddCommand, DeleteCommand, EditCommand, ClearCommand, ScheduleCommand and ResolveCommand. They each stores an EventPayload instance.

Figure 11. The associations between Event, Command and Model

The following Activity Diagram summarizes what happens when a user enters undoable commands, the undo command and the redo command.

Figure 12. The workflow when a user enters an undoable command and performs undo/redo

3.1.2. Design Considerations

Aspect: How undo & redo executes

Choice 1: (current choice) Implements undo and redo of each Command in a separate Event object stored in the EventHistory
- Pros:
  - Uses less memory to store Event objects and payloads as compared to entire copies of the Model object.
  - Open for extensions and close to modifications as the Event interface only contains undo and redo methods, and can be easily implemented when new Undoable commands are introduced.
- Cons:
  - UndoableCommand objects are forced to depend on EventPayloads when it does not actually use it directly. (e.g. DeleteCommand has to store the exercise being deleted despite using it only once).
Choice 2: Individual command knows how to undo/redo by itself.
- Pros:
  - Uses less memory to store each command as compared to entire copies of the Model object.
- Cons:
  - Violates Single Responsibility Principle as Commands need to contain specific implementation of the inverse action of itself and also stores data such as the exercise being deleted in a local field.
Choice 3: Saves the entire model consisting of the exercise, regime, schedule and suggestion lists.
- Pros:
  - Easy to implement.
- Cons:
  - May have performance issues in terms of memory usage as multiple lists need to be stored (i.e. Exercise list, Regime list, Schedule list)
  - Unnecessary storage of irrelevant details such as suggestion list.

Aspect: Data structure to support the undo/redo commands

Choice 1 (current choice): Use a singleton EventHistory to store stacks of Events generated by a EventFactory.
- Pros:
  - Ensures only one instance of EventHistory exists
  - The EventFactory relies on the Factory pattern that helps to reduce coupling between EventHistory and each individual Event.
- Cons:
  - The Singleton pattern may have a chance of breaking if multiple threads initialize the singleton class at the same time, creating multiple instances of EventHistory. However, if this problem arises, the instantiation method can be made "synchronized" to circumvent this issue.
Choice 2: Use a list to store the history of model objects.
- Pros:
  - Very simple to implement as each step simply requires a deep copy of the model to be created and stored.
- Cons:
  - Difficult to monitor multiple resource books (e.g. Regime books and Exercise books) as they all manage different types of resources that can be altered by commands.

3.1.3. Design Patterns

The Undo/Redo feature implementation is based on the Singleton, Command, and Factory design patterns

Singleton
- To help ensure that only one instance of EventHistory exists during the execution of the program
- Allows easier access by the various command classes (i.e. the UndoableCommands, UndoCommand and RedoCommand)
Command
- Extensions of new Event is easy and can be done without significant changes to the existing code
Factory
- Suitable for the context of taking in a particular Command and returning a corresponding Event
- Reduces coupling between Command classes and Event classes

3.2. Resolve feature

3.2.1. Rationale

There are multiple times where if the user wishes to schedule a regime, they find themselves in trouble over which kind of exercise regime they can fit into their schedule. The motivation behind this feature is so that users can customise their own schedules to their own liking. The alternative of an auto scheduler will restrict users from having the regime of their liking be scheduled. Instead of forcing users to adhere to some pre-generated resolution, we allow the users to make their own choice and choose their own exercise regime to be scheduled.

3.2.2. Implementation

The resolve feature is used when there is a scheduling conflict that happens within ExerHealth. This feature will alter the state of the program. The state is known by MainApp and it is either State.IN_CONFLICT or State.NORMAL. Only when the state is State.IN_CONFLICT will resolve commands be allowed.

For the implementation of the resolve feature, the ResolveCommand will hold a Conflict object which is then passed into Model. The concrete implementation, ModelManager then resolves the conflict that is being held there. Each Conflict object will hold 1 conflicting schedule and 1 schedule that was originally scheduled on the date.

Shown below is the class diagram for the implementation of the Resolve feature.

Figure 13. Class diagram for Resolve Command

With regards to the flow of the program for a scheduling conflict, the steps are laid out below:

Step 1. User enters a schedule command that will cause a scheduling conflict. The ScheduleCommand will change MainApp state to State.IN_CONFLICT.

schedule can conflict with another schedule when the dates from the 2 schedules are the same. The method model.hasSchedule() returns true if that happens.

Step 2. A CommandResult object is returned to MainWindow where the flag showResolve is set to true.

Step 3. Upon receipt of the object, MainWindow will show the resolve window and the user is required to resolve the conflict.

The ResolveWindow will block all inputs to MainWindow and only allow resolve command to be entered.

Shown below is the sequence diagram for when a scheduling conflict happens:

Figure 14. Sequence diagram when a scheduling conflict happens

Step 5. When the user is prompted with the ResolveWindow, all the conflicting exercises will be shown in one page. The previously scheduled regime on the left and the conflicting regime on the right.

Step 6. Once the user issue a resolve command correctly, the model and storage of ExerHealth will be updated to reflect the changes. A new regime will be added for the user from the resolve.

The ResolveWindow will only take one valid resolve command and Ui will close the ResolveWindow immediately after the command finishes. The newly made schedule will result in a new regime being added to the user’s RegimeList, so the name of the regime in the resolve command cannot have any conflicts with current names in RegimeList.

Step 7. The ResolveWindow then closes upon successful resolve and the application continues.

The following activity diagram summarizes what happens when a user enters a schedule command:

Figure 15. Activity diagram for when a user enters a schedule command

3.2.3. Design Considerations

Aspect: Signalling Schedule Conflict

Choice 1 (current choice): Using CommandResult object
- Pros:
  - Makes use of existing objects in codebase making it easier to implement
  - UI does not have to handle logic when encountering schedule conflicts. It only has to show the ResolveWindow and pass the data accordingly.
- Cons:
  - If we have to signal different types of outcomes to the UI, the CommandResult class will become bloated.
Choice 2: throw ScheduleException
- Pros:
  - Easy to implement. ScheduleCommand just has to throw an exception and UI catches it.
- Cons:
  - UI’s execute methods will contain multiple try/catch which acts like a control flow mechanism which increases code smell.
  - If there is a need to pass down information from executed Commands, an exception is unable to convey any sort of complex information that the UI can act on. Thus, encapsulating information in an object will be more open to extension compared to throwing an exception.

3.3. Custom feature

3.3.1. Rationale

A quick conversation with a few of our friends revealed that there are many properties which they intend to keep track for exercises. However, it is unlikely that we can implement all of these properties for the exercises as there may be too much overhead and we can never be certain that we have met all of the users' needs.

3.3.2. Overview

This feature is facilitated by both PropertyBook and CustomProperty. Whenever a user adds a newly defined custom property, a CustomProperty object will be created which is stored in PropertyBook. Its corresponding prefix and full name will be tracked by PropertyBook to avoid clashes in their uses.

3.3.3. Current Implementation

CustomProperty encapsulates a single custom property that the user defines. It contains information such as name, prefix and parameter type of the custom property. The parameter type is supported by an enumeration class ParameterType and is restricted to one of the following 3 types: Number, Text, Date.

PropertyBook serves as a singleton class that helps to manage all of the custom properties that have been defined by the user. This class acts as an access point for any information relating to the creation or deletion of custom properties.

To keep track of the custom properties and its relevant information, the following are used:

customProperties: A set containing all of the CustomProperty objects that have been created.
customPrefixes: A set containing all of the Prefix objects associated with existing custom properties.
customFullNames: A set containing the full names of the existing custom properties.
defaultPrefixes: A set containing all of the Prefix objects associated with default properties and parameter types.
defaultFullNames: A set containing all of the full names of default properties.

Custom names and prefixes are separated from its default counterparts to ensure that the default names and prefixes will always be present when the PropertyBook is first initialised.

To help facilitate PropertyBook in its custom properties management, the following main methods are implemented:

PropertyBook#isPrefixUsed(Prefix): Checks if the given prefix has been used by a default or custom property.
PropertyBook#isFullNameUsed(String): Checks if the given name has been used by a default or custom property.
PropertyBook#isFullNameUsedByCustomProperty(String): Checks if the given name has been used by a custom property
PropertyBook#addCustomProperty(CustomProperty): Adds the new custom property. Each time a custom property is added, the prefix set in CliSyntax is also updated.
PropertyBook#removeCustomProperty(CustomProperty): Removes a pre-defined custom property. Its associated prefix is also removed from the prefix set in CliSyntax.

All of the crucial associations mentioned above are summarised in the next class diagram.

Figure 16. Class diagram of the associations of PropertyBook and CustomProperty

Adding Custom Properties

To add a new custom property for the exercises, the user can do it through the command custom s/PREFIX_NAME f/FULL_NAME p/PARAMETER_TYPE. Examples include custom s/r f/Rating p/Number and custom s/ed f/Ending Date p/Date.

The following sequence diagram will illustrate how the custom operation works when a custom property is successfully added.

Figure 17. Sequence diagram of a successful addition of a custom property

For further clarity, one can identify the above diagram with the following sequence of steps:

Step 1: User first defines the custom property they wish to add for the exercises.

Step 2: The custom property will be parsed by the app’s parser and a new CustomProperty object is created.

Step 3: This CustomProperty object will be returned together with a newly created CustomAddCommand object.

Step 4: The execute method of the CustomAddCommand method will be called and the CustomProperty object will be added to PropertyBook.

Step 5: Finally, a CommandResult object will be created and returned.

The above steps illustrate the main success scenario. However, not all additions of a custom property will be successful. The next activity diagram shows the workflow when a new custom property is defined.

Figure 18. Activity diagram of the workflow when a new custom property is added

Once a custom property is successfully added into PropertyBook, the user can use the prefix of the custom property in add or edit command.

Removing Custom Properties

Should a user wish to remove a custom property from all of the exercises, he/she can simply make use of the command custom rm/FULL_NAME. A custom property that has been removed from the PropertyBook can be re-added back if the user chooses to. Alternatively, if the user wishes to remove a custom property just from a single exercise, he/she can choose to enter custom rm/FULL_NAME i/INDEX instead.

The next sequence diagram illustrates what happens when a custom property is removed from the PropertyBook. If a custom property is removed from a single exercise instead, only the selected exercise will be updated.

Figure 19. Sequence diagram of a successful removal of a custom property from all exercises

3.3.4. Design Considerations

Aspect: `PropertyBook` design

Choice 1 (Current choice): Represent PropertyBook as a singleton class that will act as the only access point for the addition and removal of custom properties.
- Pros: Having a singleton helps to provide more utility for methods that rely on the CustomProperty objects that have been created.
- Cons: It makes testing much difficult as the results from the previous test cases are carried over. Furthermore, it increases coupling across the code base.
Choice 2: Represent PropertyBook as a usual Java object that can be instantiated many times.
- Pros: This reduces coupling and makes testing easier as a new PropertyBook object independent of the other tests can be created for different tests.
- Cons: There could be situations where 2 instances of PropertyBook objects are created and the addition of a custom property is done to only one instance and not in the other.

After much consideration, Choice 1 was implemented with the following reasons:

AddCommandParser and EditCommandParser have to gain access to the CustomProperty in order to ensure that the values entered for the custom properties in the add/edit commands are valid. However, as the ExerciseBookParser in the original code base only takes in a String as a parameter, there has to be another way of retrieving the custom properties. While we can change the ExerciseBookParser to take in a data structure containing CustomProperty objects, this does not seem good as its responsibility is just to ensure that a predefined command is entered and is passed to the correct command parser.A slightly better choice in this case is to make the data structure holding the CustomProperty objects a static variable and parsers that require it can access it directly.
If the data structure holding the CustomProperty object is to be made static, it means that this information is shared among all of the PropertyBook instances if Choice 2 is implemented. Thus, PropertyBook is acting like a singleton and so, a singleton class will be appropriate.

3.4. Suggest

3.4.1. Rationale

Beginners now have a plethora of choices, which may overwhelm them when they are deciding on what exercises to do. Thus, we decided to provide users with sample exercise routines to reduce the inertia of starting this lifestyle change. On the other hand, regular gym goers may face a repetitive and mundane exercise routine or may want to experiment with different exercises. As such, to put it briefly, we decided to give users the ability to discover exercises based on the characteristics they are interested in.

This feature presents a cohesive function that all users can benefit from. It also makes our application well-rounded so that users can better achieve their fitness goals.

3.4.2. Overview

The sample exercise routines are currently implemented in ExerHealth’s database as a hard-coded set of exercises. More importantly, the SuggestPossible command which caters to more experienced gym goers utilises the exercises that the user has already done, in addition to ExerHealth’s database. Hence, we allow users to search for suggestions based on Muscle and CustomProperty.

3.4.3. Current Implementation

The SuggestBasic command displays a list of exercises from our database to the user. The SuggestPossible command is created by parsing the user’s inputs to form a Predicate before filtering ExerHealth’s database and the user’s tracked exercises.

The following activity diagram summarizes what happens when a user enters a SuggestPossible command:

Figure 20. Activity diagram showing the workflow of a SuggestPossible command

In detail, when a SuggestPossible command is entered, the Logic component is responsible for parsing the inputs into a Predicate. The Predicate is then used to instantiate a SuggestPossible command, and later used to filter a list of Exercise when the command is executed. The interactions between the multiple objects can be captured using a sequence diagram.

The following sequence diagram shows the sequence flow when a user enters a valid SuggestPossible command:

Figure 21. Sequence diagram of a SuggestPossibleCommand.

From the sequence diagram:

When the LogicManager receives the execute command, it calls the parseCommand method of ExerciseBookParser.
ExerciseBookParser will receive suggest as the command type and instantiate SuggestCommandParser to further parse the command.
SuggestCommandParser will receive s/possible as the suggest type and calls the parsePredicate method of ParserUtil to parse the user input to create an ExercisePredicate object (named p in the diagram).
SuggestCommandParser will instantiate SuggestPossibleCommand with the ExercisePredicate as the constructor parameter.
The SuggestPossibleCommand object is then returned to SuggestCommandParser, followed by ExerciseBookParser, and lastly back to LogicManager to execute.
LogicManager will proceed to execute SuggestPossibleCommand.
SuggestPossibleCommand then calls the updateSuggestedExerciseList method in ModelManager, passing in the predicate to filter the list of suggest exercises.
SuggestPossibleCommand creates a new CommandResult to be returned.

In step 3, the process in which the ExercisePredicate object is created can be explored deeper.

Figure 22. Sequence diagram of how an ExercisePredicate is created

From the sequence diagram above:

ParserUtil creates ExerciseMusclePredicate and ExerciseCustomPropertyPredicate with the input parameters.
Since there were no CustomProperty tags to filter, ParserUtil creates ExercisePredicate with only the musclesPredicate and the boolean isStrict.
The resulting ExercisePredicate is then returned to ParserUtil, followed by SuggestCommandParser.

A SuggestPossibleCommand contains an ExercisePredicate object. An ExercisePredicate object contains a list of BasePropertyPredicate, where each contains either a Collection of Muscle or CustomProperty. The diagram below shows the structure of a ExercisePredicate object.

Figure 23. Class diagram of the classes behind the suggest possible feature

Creating classes such as ExerciseCustomPropertyPredicate and ExerciseMusclePredicate allows us to conduct better testing because we can compare the Collection of Muscle/CustomProperty between different predicates.

3.4.4. Design Considerations

Aspect: Implementation of predicate creation

Choice 1: SuggestPossibleCommand to handle the predicates.
- Pros:
  - Easy to implement and understand. The class SuggestPossibleCommand contains the parsing and creation of the predicate all in one place as it stores the tags, and creates the predicate and filters the list of exercises.
- Cons:
  - Violation of Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) as SuggestPossibleCommand updates the model and creates the predicate.
Choice 2 (current choice): Predicate class to handle all predicates.
- Pros:
  - Adheres to SRP and Separation of Concern (SoC).
- Cons:
  - Increases the complexity of the code as more classes are needed, and also increases the lines of code written.

3.5. Statistics

3.5.1. Implementation

Statistics of exercises will be displayed in charts. Supported chart types are Pie Chart, Line Chart and Bar Chart. StatsFactory will create Statistic using given parameters. The figure below shows the class diagram of statistics:

Figure 24. Class diagram of the classes behind the statistics feature

The next figure shows the activity diagram when user enter a stats command:

Figure 25. Workflow when a user enters a stats command

Given below is an example usage scenario of statistics feature.

Step 1: User enters a stats command to see statistics of exercises.

Step 2: ExerciseBookParser will receive command from LogicManager and pass command to StatsCommandParser.

Step 3: StatsCommandParse will parse the command and creates a StatsCommand.

Step 4: StatsCommand calls Model#getExerciseBookData to get data of all exercises.

Step 5: StatsCommand creates a StatsFactory and pass exercises data, chart and category to StatsFactory.

Step 6: StatsFactory will then generate Statistic and return to StatsCommand.

Step 7: StatsCommand then calls Model#setStatistic to set the Statistic in Model.

Step 8: StatsCommand creates a new CommandResult and return to LogicManager.

Shown below is the sequence diagram when user enters a valid stats command:

Figure 26. Sequence diagram of a stats command

3.6. Logging

We are using java.util.logging package for logging. The LogsCenter class is used to manage the logging levels and logging destinations.

The logging level can be controlled using the logLevel setting in the configuration file (See Section 3.7, “Configuration”)
The Logger for a class can be obtained using LogsCenter.getLogger(Class) which will log messages according to the specified logging level
Currently log messages are output through: Console and to a .log file.

Logging Levels

SEVERE : Critical problem detected which may possibly cause the termination of the application
WARNING : Can continue, but with caution
INFO : Information showing the noteworthy actions by the App
FINE : Details that is not usually noteworthy but may be useful in debugging e.g. print the actual list instead of just its size

3.7. Configuration

Certain properties of the application can be controlled (e.g user prefs file location, logging level) through the configuration file (default: config.json).
