Integrate Presenter with Model to display information in real time

[withaspirit]

This is the Model View Presenter design pattern that will probably be best for our project:

For the bare minimum Iteration requirements, the Presenter does not need to accept input from the View or push anything to the Model.

Initial Integration of Model and Presenter

• 219

• [x] Model should have Presenter as an attribute
• [x] Model should be passing ElevatorMonitors to Presenter as soon as it receives one
• [x] Initialize and add presenter to Model in Model's main method
• There will probably be problems so those will be dealt with later

Updating ElevatorMonitor

• 207

• [x] The attributes in ElevatorMonitor's constructor need to be reordered
  • In order: elevatorNumber, currentFloor, serviceDirection, MovementState, empty, queueTime
• [x] ElevatorMonitor needs to be expanded to include MovementDirection, Fault, and Door State.
  • Order after: elevatorNumber, currentFloor, serviceDirection, MovementState, MovementDirection, DoorState, Fault, empty, queueTime
• [x] Update elevatorMonitor constructor calls
• [x] Add method to return ElevatorMonitor's properties as a String array of size 6
  • return in order: CurrentFloor, ServiceDirection, MovementState, MovementDirection, DoorState, Fault
  • Used when comparing ElevatorView's array of TextPanes to the ElevatorMonitor's properties

Testing of Presenter updating ElevatorView

• 21

• [x] Create PresenterTest: After Presenter receives an ElevatorMonitor, ensure that the text of each of the ElevatorView's statusPanes matches that of the elevatorMonitor it was just passed
• [ ] Ensure it still works with elevator movement

Making Presenter Runnable (Optional)

• To make Model not have to wait for View to update:
  • [ ] Give Presenter a queue for ElevatorMonitors
  • [ ] Model pushes new state changes (ElevatorMonitors) to Presenter's queue
  • [ ] Presenter could be checking the queue to see if any new ElevatorMonitors have arrived, and update the corresponding
  • To do this, Presenter could be Runnable
    • Would be started as a Thread from within the Model's main method
