Last week, I completed the UI design for the cleanup task and proceeded to test the UI flow to catch any potential bugs I might have missed. After ensuring that the basic interactions, such as using the search bar and checking data checkboxes, were smooth and functional before the actual data cleanup, I began to assess the cleanup logic. I meticulously examined the results to confirm if the cleanup process was working correctly.
During this process, I not only fixed the logic but also cleaned up the code. Given that this task was not new to me, I took extra care in placing the code precisely where it belonged. While validating the data’s accuracy, I identified a few instances where the logic did not fully align with the intended conditions. This prompted me to refine the logic and code, resulting in a more robust implementation. I encountered challenges when dealing with specific data. Achieving the correct data required a tricky approach, involving retrieving data from different repositories before obtaining the desired data.
Toward the end of the week, I presented my progress to Mr. Peter. One decision I made, which I had reservations about, was using a loading bar dialog instead of a progress bar dialog during the cleanup process. This choice was influenced by the complexity of sending a list of data to the backend, making it difficult to track and update the cleanup progress bar. However, Mr. Peter introduced me to an alternative method using SignalR to execute tasks and achieve the desired progress data. However, adopting this method also necessitated my efforts to identify bugs within its implementation, which is my main task for this upcoming week.
