Quit It

Overview

Quit It is a web app that I built as a proof of concept for a smoking cessation app. This version currently uses a .NET 10 web API and related JSON files to persist data entered from the front-end built with Svelte and SvelteKit.

Capstone Related Questions

What did I learn from this project?

I learned more about the C# language as well as Svelte and SvelteKit.

What did I learn from this course?

I think learned most about SOLID principles. DRY is a concept that I already understand and did my best to implement in this project.

What would I have done differently

There are plenty of items that could have been addressed differently.

• My CRUD functionality for "triggers" is very simple. I would have liked to add more properties to this object such as a property for how intense the trigger is.
• "Logs" are create and read only. The thought behind this was that it prevents the user from cheating. It may be wise to consider an accidental add that can be edited.
• There's still plenty of work for code clean-up that I'm not sure I'll have the time to accomplish before the deadline.
• I know that my limited knowledge of Svelte and SvelteKit prevents me from writing better code to handle requests. If I had time to explore it, I would have built a proxy api.
• I wanted to include charts built with ChartJS for more insights and display of historical data

Responsible AI Usage

To get a better idea of how Moq worked, I asked ChatGPT to generate a simple mock for GetAllLogs. This helped provide some more context as to how it worked and I was able to adapt it from there.

Known issues that I might fix before 4/10 NOON

• Update controllers to return the appropriate status codes for POST, PUT, and DELETE.
• I updated the IsNewDay method after discovering a bug, but didn't update the unit test. While it still passes, it isn't truly testing the updated method.
