CSC/ECE 517 Spring 2025 - E2504. Mentor-meeting management

Improve mentor meeting view.

Backend and Controller Updates

Refactor Existing Codebase

Clean and standardize code.

Test and validate changes.

Implementation

Mentor Meeting Management

Enhanced team table with dynamic columns and meeting management.

Backend and Controller Updates

Backend restructured for efficiency. Added destroy route and meetings controller.

1. POST /meetings

 def create
   @team = Team.find(params[:team_id])
   @meeting = @team.meetings.new(meeting_params)
   if @meeting.save
     # TODO: Re-implement email notification for meeting creation
     render json: { status: 'success', message: 'Meeting date added' }, status: :created
   else
     render json: { status: 'error', message: 'Unable to add meeting date', errors: @meeting.errors.full_messages }, status: :unprocessable_entity
   end
 end

 # DELETE /meetings/:id
 def destroy
   puts "Team ID: #{params[:team_id]}"
   puts "Meeting ID: #{params[:id]}"
   puts "Meeting: #{@meeting.inspect}"
   if @meeting.destroy
     render json: { message: 'Meeting deleted successfully' }, status: :ok
   else
     render json: { error: 'Failed to delete meeting' }, status: :unprocessable_entity
   end
 end

The original code did not adhere to standard CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) naming conventions, leading to a complete rework to align with these established practices for better maintainability and clarity.

Refactor Existing Codebase

Cleaned and standardized codebase.
