Month: 2025-05 — Island IS (island.is) development monthly summary Key features delivered: - Seminar Charge Quantity Calculation Fix: Corrected the quantity logic for seminar charge items. Default quantity is 1 when not applying for multiple participants; if participants list is longer, the quantity now equals the participant count. This eliminates under-billing for single-participant seminars and ensures accurate billing for multiple participants. Commit: 8a1e0417feb7d4674ee29f6190a87ef5c545e9d2 (fix(seminars): quantity update (#19026)). - Citizenship Application upgrade to National Registry API v3: Upgraded data fetching for cohabitation and residence history to national-registry v3 API, replacing older versions. Adjusted handling for spouse data and residence data; included necessary type fixes to support the migration. Commit: 6cd81de19c5a39f2d0e0935cae7a6c09c057e422 (fix(citizenship): updating cohabitation and residence history to national-registry v3-applications (#19095)). Major bugs fixed: - Fixed incorrect seminar charge quantity calculation that affected billing accuracy; ensured default and participant-count-based quantities align with actual user input. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improved billing accuracy and revenue integrity for seminar charges across the platform, reducing errors in single-participant scenarios and ensuring correct charges for multi-participant registrations. - Strengthened data reliability for citizenship-related data by migrating to a modern national-registry v3 API, reducing maintenance overhead and aligning with the current data provider. - Delivered a modernization effort with a clean API upgrade path and associated data-type fixes, enabling smoother future integrations and faster iteration. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - API integration and migration (national-registry v3) and data handling for cohabitation and residence history. - Bug fixing discipline with clear commits and traceability to requirements (#19026, #19095). - Attention to data correctness, billing logic, and maintainability through type fixes and refactoring.
