Added new event definitions for "Meet the Candidates", "Chapter Officer Meeting", "Voting Delegate Meeting", and "Social Gathering". Updated the EventOccurrenceParser to handle these new event types and modified related services and views to accommodate the changes. Improved test coverage for the new event definitions and ensured proper parsing and display in the calendar components.
Registered the new EventOccurrenceParserService in Program.cs to handle event occurrence parsing. Updated the _Imports.razor file to reflect the renaming of the EventCalendar component to Calendar. Removed the obsolete EventCalendar component to streamline the codebase.
Created the EventOccurrence entity with properties for event details and added it to the AppDbContext. Updated the model snapshot to reflect the new entity and its relationships, ensuring proper database schema generation.
Implements a flexible validation framework for student rankings, team assignments, and team composition with administrator-configurable rules and thresholds.
Validation System:
- Reflection-based rule discovery eliminates manual registration
- Base classes (RequiredEventTypeRuleBase, EventCountThresholdRuleBase) reduce code duplication by ~250 lines
- 12 validation rules covering event requirements, counts, and team constraints
- Configurable severity levels (Warning/Error) per rule type
- ValidationService with caching for optimal performance
- Rules apply contextually (StudentRanking, StudentAssignment, TeamComposition)
Configuration & Admin UI:
- ValidationSettings admin page for editing thresholds and severity levels
- ChapterSettings admin page for editing chapter information
- Settings stored in Data/appsettings.json for runtime configuration
- JSON config works in both development and production environments
- Auto-creates Data directory and config template on first run
User Experience:
- ValidationWarnings component displays inline warnings/errors
- Integrated in Event Ranking, Registration, and Team Assignment pages
- Color-coded severity indicators (warning yellow, error red)
- Includes "Too Many Regional Events" rule (max 3 recommended)
Technical Improvements:
- Template Method pattern for rule base classes
- Singleton rule instances with lazy initialization
- Configuration loaded via IConfiguration with fallback to defaults
- Safe JSON updates preserve other appsettings sections
