When we designed the app, we tried to ensure the app usage to be as simplified as possible due to the complexity of our app's features and event-volunteer interactions. For example, when the command name is elistv
, it stands for "event list volunteers". Likewise for vliste
, it stands for "volunteer list events".
For vremovee
, it doesn't make sense due to the logic above so we never implemented it.
The eid/
flag for event-volunteer interaction commands like eaddv
part is intentional and necessary in order for us to differentiate between the volunteer and event IDs. For event-only commands like eedit
, it only targets one event so there is no need to specify the type of index (eid/
).
Team chose [response.Rejected
]
Reason for disagreement: I think "event list volunteers" or "volunteer list events" is not very intuitive/doesn't make a lot of sense, either.
Like how eremovev
removes a volunteer from an event to signal that the event has lost a volunteer (from the perspective of the event), vremovee
also makes sense because it signals that the volunteer has left the event (from the perspective of the volunteer).
The team says that commands like eedit
only targets one event and so there is no need for eid/
. However, commands like eaddv
also only targets one event. It isn't clear why there is a need for eid/
flag in eaddv
. I am trying to suggest that commands like eaddv
can follow the format eaddv 1 vid/1
so that all event commands (commands that start with 'e') are consistent in their format.
The app has separate command names for volunteers and events, like
vcreate
andecreate
, which is fine.However it starts to get confusing when the command names become
elistv
,vliste
,eremovev
(but novremovee
?). Makes it difficult to test for a someone who is completely new to the app.Moreover, some commands need us to specify the flag
eid/
, while some doesnt require to. For example,eedit
does not require the index to be in the flageid/
while the commandeaddv
requires the index to be in the flageid/
.
