A school project as of 10/09/2024 creating a point-of-sale system in C++

For my fellow groupmates, please refer to GUIDE.md to setup your editor and start contributing to the source code.

After knowing how to contribute, please install these extensions on VsCode:

1. Clang-Format
2. C/C++
3. Makefile Tools

Then, to automatically format the file you're working on, follow these steps if you are using VsCode:

1. Click Ctrl + Shift + p
2. A command line should appear, type "User Settings".
3. Click on User Preferences (JSON)
4. On the JSON, add this:

{
    "editor.formatOnSave": true
}

Prerequisites

1. If you don't have MSYS2, you can go to their website to download it

After that, add the PATH to your computer's env variables. It's generally in C:\msys64\mingw64\bin, where your MSYS2 executable files are stored.

2. g++ or gcc compiler (if you don't have it yet and you have MSYS2 already, just run these on MSYS2-Mingw64 or MSYS2-Mingw32 terminal):

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc

If you are using the 32-bit version of MSYS2:

pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-gcc

3. cmake (if you don't have it yet and you have MSYS2 already, just run these on MSYS2-Mingw64 or MSYS2-Mingw32 terminal):

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake

If you are using the 32-bit version of MSYS2:

pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-cmake

Now that you have cmake, you can start compiling the project by running this on your code editor's terminal:

Create a folder/directory named build and go there

mkdir build && cd build

Run cmake:

cmake .. -DENVIRONMENT=production

Run cmake to build:

cmake --build .

This will create a bin folder/directory under the build folder/directory. To run the project, run:

./bin/main.exe

To run the tests:

./bin/main_test.exe
