💖 Drip-Filter Data Filter
A robust, object-oriented Python application designed to load, filter, and save user data with flair. Built by SoftStack Studios, this app proves that data management doesn't have to be boring.
🌈 Features
Object-Oriented Architecture: Uses a dedicated User class with private attributes and property decorators for secure data handling.
Dynamic Filtering: Implements getattr for flexible searching across various user attributes (ID, Name, Age, City, Phone).
Drunk-Proof Input Handling: Comprehensive try/except blocks and input validation to handle "ghosts in the machine" without crashing.
Partial Match Search: High-end search logic allows users to find data using fragments (like area codes).
Aesthetic UI: A Scooby-Doo inspired terminal interface featuring emojis and clear feedback.
🛠️ Technical Deep Dive
Encapsulation & Logic Delegation
Unlike basic scripts, Drip-Filter delegates logic to the data model. The User class is responsible for determining if it matches a search criteria, keeping the main.py interface clean and readable.
Scalability The use of matches_string and matches_range methods means new user attributes can be added to the JSON without needing to rewrite the core filtering engine.
Want to see how I handle the ghosts in the machine? Follow these steps on your own terminal:
- Clone the repo:
git clone [https://github.com/duh-nicole/drip-filter.git](https://github.com/duh-nicole/drip-filter.git)
cd drip-filter
- Run the application
python3 main.py
- Play around When prompted, enter data.JSON as your source file and start sifting through the data!
📁 File Structure
main.py - The big kahuna; manages the UI and application flow.
user.py - The logic engine; contains the User class and OOP methods.
data.json - Sample dataset for testing.
