budgetpals_client's Issues

Use abstract classes to avoid code duplication

See the example I did for budget lists.

class BudgetedList

where FinanceEntry is an abstract class implemented by Expense and Income. I think the Expense and Income cards can benefit from this.

"Hi <name>" doesn't update on new signin

1. sign in in using account A
2. note Hi message for account A first name
3. sign out
4. sign in using account B
   Expect: Hi message shows account B first name
   Actual: Hi message shows account A first name

Enter password twice on create account

The user should have to confirm their password by entering it password twice when they create an account and they should match.

Select planned item when entering expense/income

When a user goes to enter an income or expense from the inc/exp tabs, they should be shown a list of the planned items and should be able to select one instead of having to fill in all of the info again.

Add "Create your first budget" screen on budget tab

For a user with no budget, they should see a screen telling them to create their first budget

Allow entering of income/expense once

Logic in BLoC should include checking if an income/expense item repeats, and if so, extending the date by the appropriate amount. If it belongs in the active period, the item should be used in calculations and show up in lists.

This will allow the user to only enter the item once.

Include isPlanned field in expense/income models and BLoC

This field will be used to distinguish between planned and actual expense/income items,. A "budget" will consist of the planned elements.

Release/debugs builds don't run on real phone using TestFlight

When I try to open a release build of the app on my phone with TestFlight, I get a white screen; however, it runs in thr simulator. Also, debug doesn't run on my phone with a debug build when connected to my Mac. 🤔

Add unit, widget, and integration tests

Here are two tutorials about testing flutter apps

Need to track history of expense and incomes

Should be managed by budget service

Budget item not shown if date is start of period

1. Configure budget by setting start of period to x date
2. Add an expense with date x
   Expect: show up in period
   Actual: does not

Design layout for how a budget will be presented

We need to figure out how the budget will be presented in the budget tab

Cache queries

In a few places, we are fetching data where we could be caching

Refactor how token is passed

Pass the token to the BLoC instead of having to post a separate event. See example below in budget_list.dart

Load expense/income items into period based on frequency

Currently, the items that get loaded into the current budget period is based on date, but it also needs to take into account frequency. For example, if an income/expense is added with a date of Jan 1st and a monthly period, then any time a period includes the first of the month, then the period should include this income/expense.

Setup automated tests for PRs

Design flow for creating a budget

I'm thinking when the user starts the "create your first budget" flow, they will see the following prompts:

1. Start date
2. Period (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly)
3. Starting account balances (chequing, savings, credit cards, etc.)
4. isPlanned = true expenses list
5. isPlanned = true incomes list
6. Chart selection

If no planned incomes/expenses, no way to add them

The cards (with Add button) should show

BlocBuilder not rebuilding budget tab when expense/income added

When I add expenses/incomes form the budget tab using the modals, on the return, the list items are not updated with the new item.

As you can see below, the API call is successful, so the GetBudgetEvent event is firing and the BudgetState should be updated. Not sure why it's not rebuilding the widget.

Add ability to delete budget

Should be able to delete a budget from the budget tab

Duel loading indicators

When signing in, as request is sent to API, the submit and create an account buttons both get replaced with loading indicators
