While many other applications under CS2113 implement a storage feature, our app does not include one in the current implementation at v2.1 with the following rationale:
- The focus is on the representation of template circuits and how the users would interact with them. Obtaining the circuit configuration from the user’s side is an easy process and therefore it would not be necessary for a user to store the circuits for future reference.
- The application is, in a sense, equivalent to a calculator. It aims to assist the user in performing quick circuit calculations.
- Constraints involved include requiring the storage file to be human editable. Since there is no data file to break the constraint, the constraint is fulfiled.
It is perhaps possible for a future iteration (v3.0 onwards) to implement the feature, but it was not considered an important feature according to our User Stories.
Items for the Tester to Verify

- [x] I disagree
Reason for disagreement: I believe a basic storage function for users to store previous circuit input would make the app much more convenient to the users.
It seems to me that there is no way to store created templates in local storage. However, it would be quite troublesome to recreate the templates and continue working from there after the user closes the application. Hence, would it be possible to add storage in the application to maximize user experience?
