Kiosk System

A generic purpose kiosk system, that uses industry C++ concepts. It uses Conan for package management, gRPC with protobuf for communication with a client, PostgreSQL for store, buf for Buf Schema Registry to maintain proto definitions

History

This used to be a Movie Ticketing Kiosk System, but then I wanted to generalize this into a kiosk system for anything depending on any source of data.

I built it as my Grade 12 Project Submission, and then improved it mid university but never had time. In Janaury 2024, I decided I wanted to spend more time with C++ and build a high level kiosk system with database interactions and a UI.

Installation Guide

Tooling

1. Python 3.11 (and Pip)
2. Conan (C++ Package Manager)

Steps

2. Run the following commands to build the code

$ cd cmake/build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$MY_INSTALL_DIR ..

Operations

Movie Ticket Example

• ListMovies: List all currently running movies.
• GetMovie: Select the movie and show all the show timings for the movie.
• PostMovie: Select the movie, with show timings, number of tickets
  • This reaches out to stripe-mock with a data response for doing a mock payment process
• DeleteMovie: Cancels a movie ticket.
