Models
Description of format of Survey and User Models
Survey
Survey is defined by (express) express/models/Survey.jsand (Angular) src/app/Survey.ts
Old Format (Depreciated)
{
_id: string
publish: boolean
name: string
range: Enum(7,9,11)
cols: Integer[]
statements: string[]
users: User[]
}
New Format (v3)
{
_id: string
publish: boolean
name: string
range: Enum(7,9,11)
cols: Integer[]
register: string[] // NEW - For registration page fields
questionnaire: string[] // New - For questionnaire page fields
statements: string[]
users: User[]
}
*WIP: Currently in angular, cols[] is referred to as grid[] in the template, this may be changed in future for consistency.
Description
_id A identification string generated by MongoDB
publish A flag that is set to indicate that the Survey is in read-only mode after being published (no editing of data allowed)
name The name of the survey
range The horizontal-x range of the survey's Q-sort table
cols An array holding a statement/cell count for each column of the Q-Sort table display.
statements An array of statement strings
users An array of UserData objects
register A string array holding data related to the fields of the registration page, i.e. 'age', 'gender', 'nationality', 'language', etc.
questionnaire A string array holding data related to the fields of the end of survey questionnaire page, i.e. ['q1', 'q2', 'q3'], etc.
Validation
name must be under the survey name limit (100)
each statement in statements must be under the statement string limit (350).
statements must not exceed statement max count limit (80).
range and cols must correspond to values that are within horizontal-x range limits.
i.e. range=[7,9,11] cols.length=[7,9,11]
**Planned/WIP**
users must not exceed a maximum user count to be determined
Total statements in database must not exceed a maximum survey count to be determined
User
User is defined by (express) express/models/User.jsand (Angular) *WIP: need to define in angular
