Migrate Problem Creator to Vue.js + TypeScript

Contributor: Aritra Chakraborty

Description: The Problem Creator is a visual editor that helps problem authors create and edit omegaUp problems more easily. Previously hosted externally, this project migrated the entire application to Vue.js + TypeScript for seamless integration into omegaUp.com.

Key Achievements:

  • Migrated the entire Problem Creator codebase to Vue.js 3 with TypeScript
  • Implemented a modern, reactive UI with improved user experience
  • Added support for all problem components: statements, test cases, validators
  • Created comprehensive documentation for problem authors
  • Integrated with omegaUp's existing problem format specifications

Technical Stack:

  • Vue.js 3 with Composition API
  • TypeScript for type safety
  • Vuetify for UI components
  • Jest for testing

Impact: Problem Creator can now be used directly on omegaUp.com without needing an external website. This streamlines the problem creation workflow significantly.
