E1913 refactor review mapping helper

Refactor review_mapping_helper.rb

This page gives a description of the changes made for the review_mapping helper.rb of Expertiza based OSS project.

Expertiza Background

Expertiza is a web application where students can submit and peer-review learning objects (articles, codes, websites, etc). Instructors add and grade the assignments submitted by students to Expertiza. Students can be assigned in teams based on their selection of the topics.

Problem Statement:

The review_mapping_helper.rb has multiple functions with a wrong naming convention, they are classic examples of bad function names. These functions are to be refactored accordingly. Few of the variables names used in the method must also be refactored to make it more relevant and understandable. In addition, some function's code is to be optimized to ensure that it follows DRY principle. Tests must be written for the functions which are modified. Also, comments must be added to all functions of the file. The create_report_table_header function contains HTML code which should be ideally placed in the view as partials, which will allow to easily reuse the code in Rails application.

Function placed in the view as partials

The following function has been removed from the review_mapping_helper.rb and added to the views as partials:

  def create_report_table_header(headers = {})
    table_header = "<div class = 'reviewreport'>\
                    <table width='100% cellspacing='0' cellpadding='2' border='0' class='table table-striped'>\
                    <tr bgcolor='#CCCCCC'>"
    headers.each do |header, percentage|
      table_header += if percentage
                        "<th width = #{percentage}>\
                        #{header.humanize}\
                                        </th>"
                      else
                        "<th>\
                        #{header.humanize}\
                                        </th>"
                      end
    end
    table_header += "</tr>"
    table_header.html_safe
  end

Tests for the modified functions
