events

Instructions

You have to design a notification system for a platform.

These events can be: Remainders, Registrations, Appointments or Holidays.

• Create an event handler that, depending on the type of event, creates different notifications with different colors, different sizes and different positions

• The possible positions are Top, Bottom and Center: Create and Enum Position with those values

• Create a method called notify which returns a notification with the following caracteristics for each

  • Remainder: size= 50, color= (50, 50, 50), position= Bottom, content= the slice associated to the enum value

  • Registration(chrono::Duration), size = 30, color = (255, 2, 22), position = Top, content = "You have duration left before the registration ends",

  durations must be displayed in the form of {hours}:{minutes}:{seconds} left for the beginning of the event for example if there is two hours 32 minutes and 3 seconds left before the registration then the content will be You have 2:32:2 left before the registration ends

  • Appointment(text) size: 100 color: (200, 200, 3) position: Center content: text associated to the value

  • Holiday size: 25 color: (0, 255, 0) position: Top content: "Enjoy your holiday"

• Implement the std::fmt::Display trait so the text of the notification is printed in the right color in the command line

Notions

• colored crate
• chrono crate

Expected Functions and Data Structures

use chrono::Duration;
use colored::*;

#[derive(Debug, Eq, PartialEq)]
enum Position {
	Top,
	Bottom,
	Center,
}

#[derive(Debug, Eq, PartialEq)]
struct Notification {
	size: u32,
	color: (u8, u8, u8),
	position: Position,
	content: String,
}

#[derive(Debug)]
enum Event<'a> {
	Remainder(&'a str),
	Registration(Duration),
	Appointment(&'a str),
	Holiday,
}

use std::fmt;

impl fmt::Display for Notification {
}

use Event::*;

impl Event {
	fn notify(&self) -> Notification {
	}
}

Usage

Here is a program to test your function.

use events::Event::*;
use chrono::Duration;

fn main() {
	let remainder = Remainder("Go to the doctor");
	println!("{}", remainder.notify());
	let registration = Registration(Duration::seconds(49094));
	println!("{}", registration.notify());
	let appointment = Appointment("Go to the doctor");
	println!("{}", appointment.notify());
	let holiday = Holiday;
	println!("{}", holiday.notify());
}

And its output

student@ubuntu:~/events/test$ cargo run
(Bottom, 50, Go to the doctor)
(Top, 30, You have 13H:38M:14S left before the registration ends)
(Center, 100, Go to the doctor)
(Top, 25, Enjoy your holiday)
