The design for the databse is in the docs directory.

For source control we used github. All the commits, merges and merge conflicts are tracked in the github repo.

We used github issues for bug reports.

We used gradle for the build process on the android side. Also we used the firebase cli for the deployment process of functions on the google cloud platform.

We did a refactor in this commit https://github.com/SolomonFlavius/FrigiderVirtual/commit/63803c7ef778e5cf09c810cda2af1b328abd04b1 to align with the dart code standards from here https://dart.dev/guides/language/effective-dart/style

We used some design patterns:

• creation patterns: we created a singleton class (NotificationManagement) using dart's factory connstructors.
• structural patterns: we used a facade pattern to hide the interfaces of the notification management for each platform considering we used firebase messaging and the flutter local notification plugin. We also used the adapater pattern to transfer data between our dart code (class objects) and the firebase database collections which were represented as dart maps.
• behavioral patterns: we used the state pattern to manage the state of the app and the app's widgets.
