Journal Entry J.G.

[jgross11]

• Discussed the features of Two.js and p5.js with Zac and determined p5 would work better for this project
• Discussed potential layouts of the website with Austin, and the web-centered features it could contain such as search
• Connected to the AWS database both through MySQL Workbench and a Kotlin file
• Set up a web server using AWS Elastic Beanstalk which can communicate with the AWS database
• Created or assisted in the creation of numerous use cases / issues, including (but not limited to) Changing a User's Account Information #12, Searching for Experiments #13, Creating a new Experiment #14, User wants to view their experiments #15, User wants to view recent experiments #16.

[jgross11]

• As a group, we designed the UML diagram for the project.
• I started to look into how we can communicate information between the back end and front end (Thymeleaf was a promising result).

[jgross11]

• Created signup html page that collects user information and sends to backend (not yet to DB). Webpages #51
• Created Kotlin data classes to hold experiment information obtained from DB for distribution to front end or from front end to distribution to DB. Data classes #52

[jgross11]

• Created front end information verification (fields are filled out, email is (more or less) the proper format) for login, signup, and recover information pages.
• Created an example page to demonstrate the sending of data from backend to frontend as well as session persistence.

[jgross11]

• Continued work on session persistence for front -> back and back -> front persistence
• Got bogged down troubleshooting Jackson (Spring's JSON parser) not correctly parsing subclass data on the backend - WIP

I'm gonna need more details than this. Provide links to commits and/or issues that you worked on throughout the week.

• Finalized the tying together of front end / backend connection, session persistence

[jgross11]

• Added / modified Kotlin unit tests - note that the Kotlin classes are little more than data containers, so the unit tests do little more than ensure the containers are populated correctly (getting / setting)

• Created parser to dissect a chemical formula into its component parts i.e. HO(CO2)2 would decompose into a list containing 1 H, 5 O, and 2 C.

[jgross11]

Started to rework the creation page

• Implemented chemical and equation search capabilities
• Embedded chemical and equation search / addition (to DB) functionality in experiment creation page
• Implemented ability to add chemicals / equipment to a new experiment
• Steps are next, a ton of fun...
