Contact Manager follows the Model-View-Presenter flavor of MVC, so the View communicates to the Model via a Presenter, which is an enhanced Controller that enables bidirectional attribute data-binding between the Model and the View.

The View uses contact_form, contact_table, and contact_manager_menu_bar custom widgets (components).

The Contact Manager graphical user interface leverages the Master-Detail Interface Pattern by displaying a master list via contact_table and allowing navigation by selecting a Contact and displaying its details for editing in contact_form.

contact_table leverages the table widget, which has automatic in-memory sort support. contact_table also comes with a 'Delete...' right-click menu item (aka contextual pop up menu item) for deleting a selected Contact row.

contact_manager_menu_bar provides top menu bar actions like 'New', 'Save', 'Delete...', and 'Delete All...'

The Model layer includes a Contact and ContactRepository (DDD Repository Pattern) in addition to ContactPresenter (which is both a Controller and a Model at a higher level).

Contact follows the Active Record Pattern for Object Relational Mapping to store objects in a SQLite relational database table called contacts via a migration. It also implements ActiveRecord Validations for first_name, last_name, email, phone, and zip_or_postal_code fields.

ContactRepository provides the ability to search through all Contacts using the ActiveRecord Query Interface, triggered indirectly by ContactPresenter when typing into a text field that is on top of the contact_table .

The database is stored at File.join(Dir.home, 'db/contact_manager.sqlite3')

TODO.md

CHANGELOG.md

• Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet.
• Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it.
• Fork the project.
• Start a feature/bugfix branch.
• Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution.
• Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
