ZC-REMINDER

Project Description

The reminder plugin is an external feature that gives users the ability to set tasks and reminders on the whatever they are setting. It comes in handy when you and your teammate wants to prioritize doing a certain task or feature over a certain time frame. Users are able to assign tasks to a teammate or an entire channel by navigating directly to the plugin, input the necessary details for that reminder and the teammates are notified accordingly. It aims to serve the entire Zuri Chat.

Coding Guide

Commits

Git commits should follow the format:

[file/method/function changed]: (Fixes #num | Refs #num  | Closes #Num) Your descriptive commit message

Note: #num is a pull or issue number.

For example:

[Navbar]: Fixes #20 Add side-navbar

Major Changes

All changes are made in new branches and a pull request should be opened against the dev branch for review.

File names

File names must be all lowercase and may be separated by dot . For example:

;-User - create.user.js - update.user.js

Indentation

We use two spaces for indentation. If you use a code editor like vscode, you can set a default spaces to 2 instead of 4. We do not use Tab.

Source file structure

A file consist of the following, in order:

• License or copyright information
• ES import statements, if an ES module
• The file’s source code

For example

/**
    Copyright 2021, ZC-Plugin-reminder.
    All rights reserved.
    Written by <your name>
**/

import Button from 'components/button'
import me from 'you'
import { cat, dog, eagle } from '../animals'

/**
    Returns the sum of two numbers
    @param {number} num1 
    @param {number} num2 
    @returns {number} sum of num1 and num2 
*/
const returnTotal = (num1, num2) => {
    return num1 + num2
}

Naming convention

Class names

Class, interface, record, and typedef names are written in UpperCamelCase e.g LoadAvatar. Type names are typically nouns or noun phrases. For example, Request.

Method names

Method names are written in lowerCamelCase e.g addNum. Names for private methods must start with a trailing underscore e.g _startAddition.

Method names are typically verbs or verb phrases. For example, sendRequest or _startProcess. Getter and setter methods for properties are never required, but if they are used they should be named getThing (or optionally isThing or hasThing for booleans), or setThing(value) for setters.

Constant Names

Constant names use CONSTANT_CASE: all uppercase letters, with words separated by underscores.

Testing

We use Mocha and Jest for testing, and require contributors to follow a Test Driven Development (TDD) approach where you write test to fail at first and then write the corresponding function to pass the test.
