Architecture
The Architecture Diagram given above explains the high-level design of the App.
Given below is a quick overview of main components and how they interact with each other.
Main components of the architecture
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 methods where necessary.
Commons
represents a collection of classes used by multiple other components.
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.
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 i/T0123456A T0124563B
.
Each of the four main components (also shown in the diagram above),
- defines its API in an
interface
with the same name as the Component. - implements its functionality using a concrete
{Component Name}Manager
class (which follows the corresponding APIinterface
mentioned in the previous point.
For example, the Logic
component defines its API in the Logic.java
interface and implements its functionality using
the LogicManager.java
class which follows the Logic
interface. Other components interact with a given component
through its interface rather than the concrete class (reason: to prevent outside component’s being coupled to the
implementation of a component), as illustrated in the (partial) class diagram below.
The sections below give more details of each component.
UI component
The API of this component is specified
in Ui.java
The UI consists of a MainWindow
that is made up of parts e.g.CommandBox
, ResultDisplay
, PersonListPanel
, StatusBarFooter
etc. All these, including the MainWindow
, inherit from the abstract UiPart
class which captures
the commonalities between classes that represent parts of the visible GUI.
The UI
component uses the 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. - keeps a reference to the
Logic
component, because theUI
relies on theLogic
to execute commands. - depends on some classes in the
Model
component, as it displaysPerson
object residing in theModel
.
Logic component
API : Logic.java
Here’s a (partial) class diagram of the Logic
component:
How the Logic
component works:
- When
Logic
is called upon to execute a command, it uses theAddressBookParser
class to parse the user command. - This results in a
Command
object (more precisely, an object of one of its subclasses e.g.,AddCommand
) which is executed by theLogicManager
. - The command can communicate with the
Model
when it is executed (e.g. to add a person). - The result of the command execution is encapsulated as a
CommandResult
object which is returned back fromLogic
.
The Sequence Diagram below illustrates the interactions within the Logic
component for
the execute("delete i/T0123456A T0124563B")
API call.
DeleteCommandParser
should end at the destroy marker (X) but due to a limitation of PlantUML, the lifeline reaches the end of diagram.
[] refers to an ArrayList Object.
Here are the other classes in Logic
(omitted from the class diagram above) that are used for parsing a user command:
How the parsing works:
- When called upon to parse a user command, the
AddressBookParser
class creates anXYZCommandParser
(XYZ
is a placeholder for the specific command name e.g.,AddCommandParser
) which uses the other classes shown above to parse the user command and create aXYZCommand
object (e.g.,AddCommand
) which theAddressBookParser
returns back as aCommand
object. - All
XYZCommandParser
classes (e.g.,AddCommandParser
,DeleteCommandParser
, …) inherit from theParser
interface so that they can be treated similarly where possible e.g, during testing.
Model component
API : Model.java
The Model
component,
- stores the address book data i.e., all
Person
objects (which are contained in aUniquePersonList
object). - stores the currently ‘selected’
Person
objects (e.g., results of a search query) as a separate filtered list which is exposed to outsiders as an unmodifiableObservableList<Person>
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. - stores a
UserPref
object that represents the user’s preferences. This is exposed to the outside as aReadOnlyUserPref
objects. - does not depend on any of the other three components (as the
Model
represents data entities of the domain, they should make sense on their own without depending on other components)
Tag
list in the AddressBook
, which Person
references. This allows AddressBook
to only require one Tag
object per unique tag, instead of each Person
needing their own Tag
objects.Storage component
API : Storage.java
The Storage
component,
- can save both address book data and user preference data in json format, and read them back into corresponding objects.
- inherits from both
AddressBookStorage
andUserPrefStorage
, which means it can be treated as either one (if only the functionality of only one is needed). - depends on some classes in the
Model
component (because theStorage
component’s job is to save/retrieve objects that belong to theModel
)
Common classes
Classes used by multiple components are in the seedu.addressbook.commons
package.
Implementation
This section describes some noteworthy details on how certain features are implemented.
Backup/Load feature
The backup feature is facilitated by BackupCommand. Upon execution, it creates a new Storage object. The current state of the address book, accessed via the model object, is then saved onto the hard disk via the storage object to a specified location (default: data/backup/…)
Steps of its execution are as follows:
-
BackupCommandParser
parses user input and creates a new BackupCommand with a specifiedindex
anddescription
-
BackupCommand
is then executed withexecute()
- A new
Storage
object is created with the path of the backup file specified. - The current Addressbook data, retrieved via
Model.getAddressBook()
, is now saved to the specified location via ` storage.saveAddressBook()` - A
BackupDataStorage
object is retrieved from the model using a getter method. The details of the backup are then saved into the hard disk usingBackupDataStorage.saveBackupData()
- A new
Undo/redo feature
Implementation
The proposed undo/redo mechanism is facilitated by VersionedAddressBook
. It extends AddressBook
with an undo/redo
history, stored internally as an addressBookStateList
and currentStatePointer
. Additionally, it implements the
following operations:
-
VersionedAddressBook#commit()
— Saves the current address book state in its history. -
VersionedAddressBook#undo()
— Restores the previous address book state from its history. -
VersionedAddressBook#redo()
— Restores a previously undone address book state from its history.
These operations are exposed in the Model
interface as Model#commitAddressBook()
, Model#undoAddressBook()
and Model#redoAddressBook()
respectively.
Given below is an example usage scenario and how the undo/redo mechanism behaves at each step.
Step 1. The user launches the application for the first time. The VersionedAddressBook
will be initialized with the
initial address book state, and the currentStatePointer
pointing to that single address book state.
Step 2. The user executes delete i/T1234567A
command to delete the person with NRIC T1234567A. The delete
command
calls Model#commitAddressBook()
, causing the modified state of the address book after the delete i/T1234567A
command executes
to be saved in the addressBookStateList
, and the currentStatePointer
is shifted to the newly inserted address book
state.
Step 3. The user executes add i/T1234567A …
to add a new person. The add
command also calls Model#commitAddressBook()
, causing another modified address book state to be saved into the addressBookStateList
.
Model#commitAddressBook()
, so the address book state will not be saved into the addressBookStateList
.
Step 4. The user now decides that adding the person was a mistake, and decides to undo that action by executing
the undo
command. The undo
command will call Model#undoAddressBook()
, which will shift the currentStatePointer
once to the left, pointing it to the previous address book state, and restores the address book to that state.
currentStatePointer
is at index 0, pointing to the initial AddressBook state, then there are no previous AddressBook states to restore. The undo
command uses Model#canUndoAddressBook()
to check if this is the case. If so, it will return an error to the user rather
than attempting to perform the undo.
The following sequence diagram shows how the undo operation works:
UndoCommand
should end at the destroy marker (X) but due to a limitation of PlantUML, the lifeline reaches the end of diagram.
The redo
command does the opposite — it calls Model#redoAddressBook()
, which shifts the currentStatePointer
once
to the right, pointing to the previously undone state, and restores the address book to that state.
currentStatePointer
is at index addressBookStateList.size() - 1
, pointing to the latest address book state, then there are no undone AddressBook states to restore. The redo
command uses Model#canRedoAddressBook()
to check if this is the case. If so, it will return an error to the user rather than attempting to perform the redo.
Step 5. The user then decides to execute the command list
. Commands that do not modify the address book, such
as list
, will usually not call Model#commitAddressBook()
, Model#undoAddressBook()
or Model#redoAddressBook()
.
Thus, the addressBookStateList
remains unchanged.
Step 6. The user executes clear
, which calls Model#commitAddressBook()
. Since the currentStatePointer
is not
pointing at the end of the addressBookStateList
, all address book states after the currentStatePointer
will be
purged. Reason: It no longer makes sense to redo the add i/T1234567A …
command. This is the behavior that most modern
desktop applications follow.
The following activity diagram summarizes what happens when a user executes a new command:
Add patient feature
Implementation
The implemented add mechanism is facilitated by AddCommandParser
. It extends AddressBookParser
and implements the
following operations:
-
AddCommandParser#parse()
— Parses user input intoPerson
and creates anAddCommand
object
These operations are exposed in the Model interface as methods with the same name e.g.
Model#addPerson()
.
Given below is an example usage scenario and how the add command works at each step
Step 1. A new patient visits the clinic/hospital and the clinic administrator registers the new patient in the patient records system.
Step 2. The administrator
executes add i/T0012345A n/John Doe p/98765432 a/John street, block 123, #01-01 d/NKDA g/Male e/johnd@example.com t/Diabetic
. The AddCommand
is executed and Model#hasPerson
is called and followed by a call to Model#addPerson()
which adds the record into the patient records system if the record does not already exist in the system.
Edit patient feature
Implementation
The implemented edit mechanism is facilitated by EditCommandParser
. It extends AddressBookParser
and implements the
following operations:
-
EditCommandParser#parse()
— Parses user input intoINDEX
andeditPersonDescriptor
and creates anEditCommand
object
These operations are exposed in the Model interface as methods with the same name e.g.
Model#setPerson()
.
Given below is an example usage scenario and how the add command works at each step
Step 1. A patient visits the clinic/hospital and the clinic administrator registers the patient. The patient mentions that he has changed his phone number to 987654321.
Step 2. The administrator executes edit 1 p/987654321
. The EditCommand
is executed and Model#getFilteredPersonList
is called, then the parsed index is checked for validity followed by getting the patient record specified by the index.
Next, EditCommand#createEditedPerson
is called, followed by calls to both Person#isSamePerson
and Model#hasPerson()
to check for possible duplicates. Model#setPerson
is called followed
by Model#updateFilteredPersonList()
which adds the record into the patient records system if the record does not already exist in the system.
View patient particulars feature
Implementation
The logic mechanism of this feature is the same as finding a patient by NRIC, but it will show all information of the patient on the view pane
including email, birthdate, drug allergies, and medicines. The view pane UI construction is similar to person card, which needs one Person
as a parameter.
This operation could be activated by typing a command or double-clicking the patient card.
Given blow is an example usage scenario and how the view command works at each step
Step 1. The clinical/hospital administrator wants to see the detailed information of a patient with NRIC T1234567A
in order to know what medicine he/she used.
Step 2. The clinical/hospital administrator double-clicks the corresponding person card in the list panel or execute view i/T1234567A
.
Then personal particulars of that patient will appear on the view pane.
Delete patient record by NRIC feature
Implementation
The implemented delete mechanism is facilitated by DeleteCommandParser
. It extends AddressBookParser
and implements
the following operations:
-
DeleteCommandParser#parse()
— Parses user input intoArrayList<NRIC>
and creates aDeleteCommand
object
These operations are exposed in the Model interface as methods with the same name e.g.
Model#deletePerson()
.
Given below is an example usage scenario and how the delete command works at each step
Step 1. The clinical/hospital administrator has been informed of death of 2 patients and their NRIC, T0123456A T0124563B.
Step 2. The administrator executes delete i/T0123456A i/T0124563B
. The DeleteCommand
is executed and for each NRIC
in the Set<NRIC>
, Model#findPersonByNric()
is called and followed by a call to Model#deletePerson()
which deletes the record in the system with the specified NRIC
.
The following sequence diagram shows how the delete command works:
Design considerations:
Aspect: Deletion criteria
-
Alternative 1 (current choice): Deletion by
NRIC
.- Pros: Very efficient as program will search for the record with specified
NRIC
and delete it. - Cons: Might be less convenient for clinical administrator to type out
NRIC
as compared to INDEX especially for the top few records displayed.
- Pros: Very efficient as program will search for the record with specified
-
Alternative 2: Deletion by INDEX.
- Pros: More convenient for clinical administrator to type out INDEX for the top few displayed records.
- Cons: If the record we are searching for does not appear in the top few records, we would have to execute a find command and then get corresponding INDEX to carry out deletion.
Filter patient record by attribute
Implementation
The implemented delete mechanism is facilitated by FindCommandParser
. It extends AddressBookParser
and implements
the following operations:
-
FindCommandParser#parse()
— Parses user input into aPredicate
object according to thePrefix
used. It then creates aFindCommand
object and passes thePredicate
intoFindCommand
object.
These operations are exposed in the Model interface as Model#updateFilteredPersonList.
Given below is an example usage scenario and how the find command works at each step
Step 1. The clinical/hospital administrator has been informed of death of 2 patients and their NRIC, T0123456A T0124563B.
Step 2. The administrator executes find n/Alice
. The model then creates a Predicate
based on the provided prefix and
passes the Predicate
as an argument when creating a FindCommand
. The FindCommand
will then be executed by the model
and it filters the list of person that matches the provided NAME
.
The following sequence diagram shows how the find command works:
Design considerations:
Aspect: Filter criteria
-
Alternative 1 (current choice): Find by
NRIC
,Name
,Tag
,Medicine
,Doctor
.- Pros:
- Very efficient as program will search for the record with specified
NRIC
and return the filtered person list - Allows clinical administrator to filter for frequently used
Medicine
and stock up relevant supplies - Allows clinical administrator to filter for common health condition
Tag
of patients at the clinic.
- Very efficient as program will search for the record with specified
- Cons:
- Might be less convenient for clinical administrator to type out
NRIC
as compared to INDEX especially for the top few records displayed. - clinical administrator might need to type more since the
Attributes
to find by are generally longer in spelling.
- Might be less convenient for clinical administrator to type out
- Pros:
-
Alternative 2: Find by any
Attribute
. Eg.Address
,Phone
etc.- Pros: More convenient for clinical administrator to search by any attributes that he deem easy to type
- Cons: Unlikely for the clinical administrator to use other attributes to find a particular patient.
Light/dark Theme
Implementation
The theme is facilitated by Theme
. It contains two modes which are light mode and dark mode. The light mode is closely
related to LightModeCommand
and LightTheme.css
. The dark mode is associated to DarkModeCommand
and DarkTheme.css
. Moreover, two attributes (showLight
and showDark
) of CommandResult
indicate what the current theme is.
Given below is an example usage scenario and how the light/dark mechanism behaves at each step.
Step 1. The user launches the application and the current theme is Dark.
Step 2. The user executes light
command and the theme changed to light mode.
Step 3. The user clicks the Theme
button above and select the Dark
choice. The theme go back to the dark mode again.
Design considerations:
Aspect: How light & dark executes:
-
Alternative 1 (current choice): CSS file for Dark and Light separately.
- Pros: Easy to implement.
- Cons: More resource space and necessity to switch between two file paths.
-
Alternative 2: One CSS file containing the information of two modes.
- Pros: Less resource space and no need to change the file path.
- Cons: Not easy to implement and require more FXML changes.
Adding Nric as identifier
Implementation
The proposed Nric
field is done similar to the implementation of the Name
field.
Previously, name was used as the unique identifier for a Person
object, where we check for equality between
two Person
objects by name matching. As we acknowledge that in a clinical/hospital system, several patients may have
the same name, Nric
was identified as a better unique identification choice.
The following additional constraints will be applied:
-
Nric
will be mandatory field when adding a newPerson
. -
Nric
has to be in the following format:@xxxxxxx#
-
@
has to be one of the following:S
,T
,F
,G
, orM
-
xxxxxxx
is a 7-digit serial number, eachx
can be any number0-9
-
#
can be any capital alphabetA-Z
, and the field cannot be blank.
-
-
Nric
must be unique, the system will not allow the addition of a new person otherwise
Given below is an updated Model
component diagram.
Design considerations:
Aspect: Mutability of Nric
field:
-
Alternative 1 (current choice):
Nric
is mutable.- Pros: Easy to make corrections if entered wrongly, no need to type the entire
add
command again - Cons:
Nric
never changes for a person, it may not make sense to make it mutable.
- Pros: Easy to make corrections if entered wrongly, no need to type the entire
-
Alternative 2:
Nric
is immutable.- Pros: Will ensure no tampering of identifier for a
Person
object. - Cons: If
Nric
is wrongly entered, user will have to re-type the entireadd
command.- This can have heavier consequences if much more data is added before the mistake is noticed.
- Pros: Will ensure no tampering of identifier for a
Adding Date Of Birth
The proposed DateOfBirth
field is done similar to the implementation of the Name
field.
E.g., 12 April 2000, 1 January 2001
The addition of this field will allow staff to quickly filter by date of birth, or quickly glance at a patient to verify identity.
Design considerations:
Aspect: Implementing a new object to represent DateOfBirth
:
-
Alternative 1 (current choice): Convert
DateOfBirth
given in the formatdd/mm/yyyy
todd month yyyy
.- Pros: User does not have to type the full date in string when adding a person.
- Cons: It might be messy when adding a person since there will be more
/
.
-
Alternative 2: User have to type in the full date when adding a person.
- Pros: It will not be as messy since there will be less
/
when adding a person. - Cons: User will have to type more which might result in more errors when adding a person.
- Pros: It will not be as messy since there will be less
Adding Health Conditions
The proposed implementation of separate Conditions
object to encapsulate health conditions of a patient.
E.g., Diabetic, Dyslexic, Osteporotic.
The addition of this field will allow staff to quickly filter by conditions, or quickly glance at a patient to identify what known conditions he/she has.
Design considerations:
Aspect: Implementing a new object to represent Conditions
:
-
Alternative 1 (current choice): Convert
Tag
objects to health conditions.- Pros: The
Tag
object originally implemented in AB3 currently does not have much meaning in the context of HospiSearch. The highlighting of the tags can be repurposed to show a quick view of known conditions a patient has. - Cons: If a patient has many pre-existing conditions, this may end up as visual clutter. Furthermore, we may wish for other details to be highlighted instead of health conditions.
- Pros: The
-
Alternative 2: Implement
Conditions
as a separate object- Pros: We can still tag a patient with details other than health conditions. The functionality of
Tag
will not be deprecated. - Cons: This will require more restructuring of the codebase, the location to display health conditions may not be as obvious as well compared to the current display of tags.
- Pros: We can still tag a patient with details other than health conditions. The functionality of
Adding Gender
The proposed Gender
field is done similar to the implementation of the Name
field.
E.g., Male, Female, Others
The addition of this field will allow staff to quickly verify the gender of a patient.
Design considerations:
Aspect: Implementing a new object to represent Gender
:
-
Alternative 1 (current choice): Gender is restricted to
Male
,Female
,Others
.- Pros: There will only be 3 categories to classify a person.
- Cons: Cannot represent other genders.
Adding Attending Doctor
The proposed implementation of separate Doctor
object to encapsulate the current attending doctor of a patient.
The addition of this field will allow staff to quickly filter by attending doctor, or quickly glance at a patient to identify what doctor is in charge of him/her.
Design considerations:
Aspect: Implementing a new object to represent conditions:
-
Alternative 1 (current choice): Have the
doctor
field function similar to thename
field.- Pros: More flexibility, in terms of tagging patients to doctors
- Cons: Will have to ensure no ambiguous
doctor
names, e.g., if there are twodoctor
s namedBen
, we will have to include their surname to differentiate.
-
Alternative 2: Have a separate encapsulation for
doctor
where we record doctors as persons as well, then link each patient to adoctor
’s nric.- Pros: Less ambiguity, we can navigate to the specific
doctor
. - Cons: This will require more restructuring of the codebase, storing both doctors and patients, which makes the database more messy.
- Pros: Less ambiguity, we can navigate to the specific

Appendix: Planned Enhancements
-
At present, a user has the option to enter an individual’s
nric
number in the future, such as adding a person withnric
starting with T99, despite the year 2099 being in the future. We intend to implement a feature that will validatenric
s and generate an error messagePlease input a valid NRIC
should annric
from the future be inputted. -
Currently, a user is able to input a
DateOfBirth
with a year that is in the future. In the future, We plan to make it such that we will check for future dates inputted asDateOfBirth
and generate an error messageOnly dates that have occurred are valid inputs
. -
Currently, a user is unable to input
Medicine
s that contain non-alphanumeric characters.In the future, we plan to make it such that you can inputMedicine
s with non-alphanumeric characters such as “retin-A”. -
Currently, you are unable to input
Name
s that contain non-alphanumeric characters.In the future, we plan to make it such that you can inputName
s with non-alphanumeric characters such as “s/o”. -
Currently, whenever a user
views
a person, the scroll bar will bring you back to the very top of the list of patients. In the future, we will ensure tha the scroll bar remains in position even after running aview
command. -
Currently, when adding a person, if the user misses out on a prefix, a generic invalid format command will be generated in the result display box. In the future, we will inform the user of the missing prefix in the result display box.
-
Currently, users are only able to use the undo/redo functions for actions that modify data. This excludes commands
light
,dark
,backup
anddeletebackup
. In the future, we plan to extend the capabilities of the undo/redo functions to encompass all commands in the future. -
Currently, the error message of falsely deleting a backup file is too generic and doesn’t provide any indication. In the future, a more specific and informative error message related to the backup file will be provided to guide the user clearly.
