Coding Period - Third Week Report (June 12 - June 18)
Overview
This week has been quite productive, and I’m excited to share the tasks I have accomplished.
Tasks Accomplished
During this third week, I focused on the following tasks:
-
Researched possible implementations of Lexers, Parsers, and Transpilers: To ensure the success of my project, I dedicated time to study and explore various approaches to implementing Lexers, Parsers, and Transpilers. This research helped me gain a deeper understanding of these concepts and their practical applications in the context of my project.
-
Started supporting the $filter query option: One of the key features of my project is to support the $filter query option. I began implementing this functionality, laying the foundation for filtering capabilities in the application. This involved writing code and integrating it into the existing codebase.
-
Added unit tests to the converter: To ensure the reliability and stability of the converter, I introduced additional unit tests. These tests aim to verify the correctness of the converter’s behavior and catch any potential issues early in the development process.
What’s Planned for the Next Week?
Looking ahead, my plan for the upcoming week is as follows:
-
Continue working on the implementation of the $filter query option: I will focus on further developing the $filter query option, enhancing its functionality and addressing any potential challenges that may arise.
-
Add more unit tests to the converter: Building upon the existing tests, I will expand the test suite for the converter to cover additional scenarios and edge cases. This will help ensure robustness and maintainability as the project progresses.
Blockers
Although progress has been smooth so far, I anticipate two potential blockers in the coming weeks:
-
Final exams: I have final exams scheduled in the upcoming weeks. While this may require some additional time and effort, I am confident in managing my schedule efficiently to balance both my academic commitments and the coding period of GSoC.
-
Lack of prior experience with lexers and parsers: While I am confident in my ability to overcome this challenge successfully, it’s worth noting that I had limited prior experience with lexers and parsers. However, I have been actively learning and researching these concepts, and I believe I can leverage the knowledge gained to effectively implement them in my project.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the third week of the coding period has been productive and filled with progress. I have conducted research, implemented support for the $filter query option, and added unit tests to the converter. Moving forward, I will continue to work on the $filter query option and expand the test suite.
