Friday 7th July - Week 18

By

This week, my main focus was to review and ensure the functionality of the tasks I had completed earlier. I dedicated time to check everything I had implemented so far, identifying small errors and missing elements, and addressing them accordingly. The specific areas I worked on included:

- Hiding password characters

- Validation conditions to ensure that each textfield of the sign up meets the criteria. Eg. Postcode can only be 4  digits

- Testing the forgot password functionality by sending the recovery email to my real email address and following the steps.

I also made progress in implementing the SWELL search features. I created a UI view controller called SwellSearch, which is similar to SunSearch but includes an extra search feature for swell size. Currently. I have successfully designed the view and working on activating the 'swell size' drop down menu. Unlike the 'location' dropdown, which contains manually entered locations, the 'swell size' drop down retrieves data from the API.

Additionally, I am currently figuring out the best approach to display the data retrieved from WillyWeather on the SunnyList view controller. I have found this quite challenging, but I am confident that I am close to finding a solution.

This week, my main focus was to organise and refine my screens to make sure there was a smooth transition between them. To enhance user experience, I brought in a navigation controller to the settings section, which provides a convenient back button for each subview. In fine detail, I scanned over all of the contraints within each UI view controller to ensure there were no significant issues.  It was during this week that I came to the realisation that I may not have enough time to implement to FIND SWELL feature. This feature is the exact same to the FIND SUN feature but instead of sun, we are searching for good waves. As a result of time management, I decided to remove the prepared view controllers and code that I had set up for starting this section.

 This week I have hit a few more milestones within my code. I managed to display the locations on the homepage map. I also managed to change the default marker icon to my branded markers. Please see below: This was a challenge as I could not figure out why the api url wasn't valid to display all of these locations. After a lot of debugging, I came to the realisation that the api url had the (userSelectedDate) property which was not necessary/connected to the home page. I created a seperate api url for the homepage and after doing so, the code was successful. I also spent some time fixing the constraints of each controller.  My next step is to display the data on the homepage when a user clicks on a marker. I am in the middle of the code and at the moment the code is not successful. Once this is done, I will have the most important elements of the app complete.
