Mood Detector

About

This project uses emotion recognition to give teachers feedback about their lectures by analyzing students' mood.

Get started

Requirements:

• Visual Studio 2019
• .NET 4.7.2
• SQL Server
• NuGet (package management)

Dependencies:

• AutoFac (dependency injection)
• Affdex (emotion recognition)
• xUnit (unit testing)

Database

We use SQL Server.

Creating a local database

Go to SQLServer project -> PublishProfiles and open LocalSQLServerDatabase.publish.xml file. From there press Publish. Your local database can be found in View -> SQL Server Object Explorer (or shortcut Ctrl+\, Ctrl+S) -> (localdb)\MSSQLLocalDB -> Databases -> MoodDetectorDB.

Creating a new table

Go to SQLServer project -> dbo -> (Context menu) Add -> Table.

Updating your local database

To update database (e.g. when files inside SQLServer -> dbo are changed) you need to open LocalSQLServerDatabase.publish.xml and click Publish again. This will update changed tables, views to match the ones defined in dbo folder files.

Naming

• PascalCase Class name; Constructor name; Method name; Constants name; Properties name; Delegate name; Enum type name
• camelCase method arguments; local variables, _field name
• Do prefix Interfaces with letter I e.g. IExample
• Do prefix field names with underscore e.g. _fieldName

Git workflow

• For task management we use GitHub's inbuilt task board
• We name our branches Task#<task_number> e.g. Task#1
  • Create a new local branch and go to it using git checkout -b Task#<task_number>
• We use pull requests for code reviews and, after approval, merge them using squash merging option
• When making a pull request make sure your branch is updated to the latest master
  • git commit changes made in your branch use -m option to add a message with commit e.g. git commit -m "<changes_made>"
  • Go to master branch with git checkout master and update it using git pull
  • Go back to your branch git checkout Task#<task_number>
  • Merge master into your branch git merge master
  • You might get merge conflicts, resolve them
  • git add changed files and git commit them
  • git push your changes to remote branch
