Introduction

What the invitation controller does and the process advertising, creating invites and accepting invites.

Project Description

Classes: invitation_controller.rb (104 lines) invitation.rb (5 lines)

What it does: Handles invitations to join teams.

What needs to be done: The code is deeply nested and quite confusing. There should be a single method responsible for finding whether a user is already on a team, adding someone onto a waitlist, dropping someone off of a waitlist, changing/updating the topic that the user is assigned to, etc. Some of these methods should be in model classes, such as invitation.rb and signed_up_user.rb. Break the complicated methods into shorter methods with clear names, and place these methods in the most appropriate class, moving a lot of functionality to the model classes.

Currently, after someone joins a team, pending invitations are not removed. There should be a method handling deletion of invitations (including declined invitations) to a user after that user joins a team. This should be a model method.

Though this class is not long, the code looks and reads like it is very complicated. Breaking it down into multiple methods with clear names and proper division of functionality between classes will be a challenge.

Motivation

Briefly talk about why invitation controller needed refactoring.

Design Changes

Create Method

Before Refactor

def create    
    user = User.find_by_name(params[:user][:name].strip)
    team = AssignmentTeam.find_by_id(params[:team_id])
    student = AssignmentParticipant.find(params[:student_id])
    return unless current_user_id?(student.user_id)

    #check if the invited user is valid
    if !user
      flash[:notice] = "\"#{params[:user][:name].strip}\" does not exist. Please make sure the name entered is correct."
    else
      participant = AssignmentParticipant.find(:first, :conditions => ['user_id =? and parent_id =?', user.id, student.parent_id])
      if !participant
        flash[:notice] = "\"#{params[:user][:name].strip}\" is not a participant of this assignment."
      else
        team_member = TeamsUser.find(:all, :conditions => ['team_id =? and user_id =?', team.id, user.id])
        #check if invited user is already in the team
        if (team_member.size > 0)
          flash[:notice] = "\"#{user.name}\" is already a member of team."
        else
          sent_invitation = Invitation.find(:all, :conditions => ['from_id = ? and to_id = ? and assignment_id = ? and reply_status = "W"', student.user_id, user.id, student.parent_id])
          #check if the invited user is already invited (i.e. awaiting reply)
          if sent_invitation.length == 0
            @invitation = Invitation.new
            @invitation.to_id = user.id
            @invitation.from_id = student.user_id
            @invitation.assignment_id = student.parent_id
            @invitation.reply_status = 'W'
            @invitation.save
          else
            flash[:notice] = "You have already sent an invitation to \"#{user.name}\"."
          end
        end
      end
    end
    redirect_to :controller => 'student_team', :action => 'view', :id=> student.id
