A Class Library for managing and encapsulating settings

The Object-Oriented Approach

We decided to use the object-oriented approach because of the following reasons:

• Ease of refactoring. With the current architecture, we can switch between implementations of the functionality while maintaining backward compataility easily.
• Encapsulation: Cleaner, more understandable code. So select a lesson out of a list, all you need to do is settings.selectLesson(day, hour, list)

The Class Library

This repository currently offers a few classes to use:

abstract class Settings<TLesson> implements ISettings<TLesson>

Implements the ISettings interface with the core functionality required - selecting lessons and selecting study groups.

Usage:

We recommand using this class in type declerations, as it is the most abstract version of settings.

class Timetable {
  private settings: Settings<ILesson>;

  constructor(settings: Settings<ILesson>) {
    this.settings = settings;
  }
}

StudyGroupMapSettings

A rather implementation of the settings utilities using an array of study groups and a map of days and hours to the indexes of them.

Usage:

We recommand extending this class to the type of settings you need

class LessonListSettings extends StudyGroupMapSettings<ILesson> {
  protected abstract mapLessonToStudyGroup(lesson: ILesson) {
      return lesson;
  }
}

// main file
const settings = new LessonListSettings({ ... });
const timetable = new Timetable(settings);

Implementing other functionalities

Extend the Settings class to implement other functionalities.
