CSC/ECE 517 Spring 2023 -E2347. Reimplement duties controller.rb and badges controller.rb

Problem Statement

The problem at hand involves the Duties and Badge modules of Expertiza. Mainly, the task is to improve the code logic and design by following the Object Oriented Design principles and methods and make the code base more efficient, easy to read and structured. We have two controller classes "duties_controller.rb" and "badge_controller.rb".

The duties_controller in the Duties module defines several actions, including create, edit, update, and delete. The create action is used to save the new duty to the database, while the edit action renders the form for editing an existing duty. The update action updates the duty in the database, and the delete action deletes a duty from the database.

On the other hand, the Badge module has a create action that creates a new Badge instance using user parameters and saves an image file if attached. It also updates the image_name attribute of the badge instance. Additionally, there is a new action that sets up a new Badge instance and a redirect_to_assignment method to redirect to the previous page visited by the user. This method is used with the new action to keep track of the page the user was on when they requested a new Badge instance.

The task is to ensure that the Duties and Badge modules function correctly and that the create, edit, update, delete, and new actions all work as intended as well as to optimize, restructure and reimplement the code by following the Object Oriented way. This will help manage duties and badges in Expertiza effectively.

Goals of this Project

The goals of this Project are:

1. Re-implementing CRUD operations for each controller
2. Fix bugs and minor flows in the existing code base and functionality
3. Removing redundant or unclear code logic
4. Writing RSpec test scripts for both the controllers

By meeting these objectives, both controllers can perform their fundamental create, read, update, and delete operations, while also improving the code's readability and functionality. Additionally, it will aid in addressing any current bugs, thereby enhancing the accuracy of the code.
