Agentic Coding with Amazon Q Developer - My Experiments

 1I've added a data class to store preferred names for names in the repository file. Here's what I've implemented:
 2
 31. Added a `NamePreferred` data class that stores:
 4   - `primary_name`: The main name (e.g., "Ashutosh")
 5   - `preferred_names`: A list of preferred names (e.g., ["Ash"])
 6
 72. Added a `NamePreferredRegistry` class to manage these preferreds:
 8   - `register()`: Add a new name preferred mapping
 9   - `get_preferreds()`: Get all preferred names for a given primary name
10   - `has_preferreds()`: Check if a name has any preferreds
11
12This implementation allows you to:
13- Define mappings between names (e.g., "Ashutosh" can have "Ash" as an preferred)
14- Look up preferred names when needed
15- Easily extend the system with new name preferreds
16
17Example usage:
18
19    # Create registry with some predefined preferreds
20    registry = NamePreferredRegistry([
21        NamePreferred(primary_name="Ashutosh", preferred_names=["Ash"]),
22    ])
23
24    # Check if a name has preferreds
25    if registry.has_preferreds("Ashutosh"):
26        # Get all preferreds for a name
27        preferreds = registry.get_preferreds("Ashutosh")  # Returns ["Ash"]
28
29You can now use this registry in your name repository methods to handle preferred names when searching for names.

 1I've simplified the data class as requested. Now you have a straightforward `NamePreferred` data class with just two fields:
 2
 31. `name`: The main name (e.g., "Ashutosh")
 42. `prefer_name`: The preferred name (e.g., "Ash")
 5
 6This simpler structure is better suited for hard-coded values in your code. You can use it like this:
 7
 8    # Example of hard-coded name preferreds
 9    NAME_PREFERREDS = [
10        NamePreferred(name="Ashutosh", prefer_name="Ash"),
11    ]
12
13    # Usage example
14    def find_preferred_name(name: str) -> str:
15        for prefer in NAME_PREFERREDS:
16            if prefer.name == name:
17                return prefer.prefer_name
18        return None
19
20This approach is more direct and easier to maintain when you have a fixed set of name preferreds that will be hard-coded in your application.

 1I've converted the data class to an Enum as requested. Now you have a `NamePreferred` enum where:
 2
 3- The enum name represents the name (e.g., "Ashutosh")
 4- The enum value represents the preferred name (e.g., "Ash")
 5
 6This approach has several advantages:
 71. It's more concise and cleaner for hard-coded values
 82. You can easily access both the name and its preferred
 93. It provides type safety and better IDE support
10
11Here's how you can use this enum in your code:
12
13    # Access the preferred name for "Ashutosh"
14    prefer_name = NamePreferred.Ashutosh.value  # Returns "Ash"
15
16    # Check if a name has an preferred
17    def has_preferred(name: str) -> bool:
18        try:
19            return name in NamePreferred.__members__
20        except ValueError:
21            return False
22
23    # Get the preferred name for a given name
24    def get_preferred_name(name: str) -> str:
25        try:
26            return NamePreferred[name].value
27        except KeyError:
28            return None
29
30You can easily add more name mappings by adding new enum members. For example:
31
32    class NamePreferred(str, Enum):
33        Ashutosh = "Ash"
34        # Add more as needed
35
36This enum-based approach is ideal for your use case where the mappings are hard-coded in the code.

1I'll add a function to the enum class to help with working with preferred names. What specific function would you like me to add? You mentioned "this second function" but I don't see a reference to what function you'd like added.
2
3Some common functions that would be useful in this enum class could be:
41. A function to get the preferred name for a given name
52. A function to check if a name has an preferred
63. A function to get all available names
74. A function to convert between names
8
9Please let me know which function you'd like me to add to the enum class.

 1I've added two class methods to the `NamePreferred` enum:
 2
 31. `get_preferred(name)`: Gets the preferred name for a given name
 4  - Takes a name string (e.g., "Ashutosh")
 5  - Returns the preferred name (e.g., "Ash") or None if not found
 6
 72. `convert_name(name)`: Converts a name to use its preferred name
 8  - Takes a name (e.g., "Ashutosh")
 9  - Returns a list containing both the original name and the converted name with the preferred name (e.g., ["Ashutosh", "Ash"])
10  - If no preferred name exists, returns a list with just the original name
11  - Handles edge cases like empty or short names
12
13These methods make it easy to work with preferred names:
14
15    # Get preferred for a name
16    prefer = NamePreferred.get_preferred("Ashutosh")  # Returns "Ash"
17
18    # Convert a name to use preferred name
19    results = NamePreferred.convert_name("Ashutosh")  # Returns ["Ashutosh", "Ash"]
20
21    # Example usage in a search function
22    def search_name(name):
23        all_numbers = NamePreferred.convert_name(name)
24        # Now search for all numbers in the list
25        # This will search for both "Ashutosh" and "Ash"
26
27This implementation gives you a clean and efficient way to handle preferred names in your name searches.

 1I've created a dedicated test file for the NamePreferred class. Let me explain what I've done:
 2
 31. Fixed the name_repository.py file by adding the missing `from enum import Enum` import.
 4
 52. Created a new test file called `name_preferred_test.py` with comprehensive unit tests for the NamePreferred class:
 6
 7  - Tests for `get_preferred` method:
 8    - Test with an existing name ("Ashutosh") that should return "Ash"
 9    - Test with a non-existent name that should return None
10
11  - Parameterized tests for `convert_name` method covering various scenarios:
12    - A name that has an preferred ("Ashutosh")
13    - A name that doesn't have an preferred ("Singh")
14    - An unknown name ("Unknown")
15
16The tests verify that:
17  - `get_preferred` correctly returns the preferred name or None
18  - `convert_name` correctly returns a list with both the original and preferred names when an preferred exists
19  - `convert_name` handles edge cases properly
20
21These tests ensure that your NamePreferred class works as expected and will help catch any regressions if the code is modified in the future.

 1I've added unit tests for the NamePreferred class to the name_respository_test.py file. Here's what I've included:
 2
 31. Added the NamePreferred import to the import statements
 42. Created a new TestNamePreferred class with the following tests:
 5
 6  - `test_get_preferred_with_existing_name`: Tests that the get_preferred method correctly returns "Ash" when given "Ashutosh"
 7  
 8  - `test_get_preferred_with_nonexistent_name`: Tests that the get_preferred method correctly returns None when given a name that doesn't have an preferred
 9  
10  - `test_convert_name`: A parameterized test that covers various scenarios for the convert_name method:
11    - A name that has an preferred ("Ashutosh")
12    - A name that doesn't have an preferred ("Singh")
13    - An unknown name ("Unknown")
14
15The tests are comprehensive and verify that:
16- The get_preferred method correctly returns the preferred name or None
17- The convert_name method correctly returns a list with both the original and preferred names when an preferred exists
18- Both methods handle edge cases properly
19
20These tests will ensure that your NamePreferred class works as expected and will help catch any regressions if the code is modified in the future.

 1I've expanded the test cases for the NamePreferred class to be more comprehensive. Here's what I've added:
 2
 31. Converted `test_get_preferred_with_existing_name` and `test_get_preferred_with_nonexistent_name` into a single parameterized test that covers:
 4  - Existing name ("Ashutosh")
 5  - Case sensitivity check ("ashutosh")
 6  - Non-existent name ("Unknown")
 7  - Empty string
 8  - None value
 9  - Names with leading/trailing spaces
10
112. Enhanced the `test_convert_name` parameterized test with additional scenarios:
12  - Standard cases (existing, non-existing names)
13  - Edge cases (empty string, None)
14  - Case sensitivity ("ashutosh")
15  - Special characters in names (hyphen, slash, underscore)
16  - Whitespace handling (leading/trailing spaces)
17
183. Added a new test `test_enum_values` to verify that the enum values are correctly defined.
19
20These comprehensive tests will ensure that:
21  - The NamePreferred enum is correctly defined
22  - The get_preferred method handles all possible input scenarios correctly
23  - The convert_name method properly converts names in all scenarios
24  - Edge cases and special characters are handled appropriately
