DEAL MAKER

A brand-new fin-tech approach to a match-making app. Deal Maker takes away the awkwardness on discussing the touchy subject of personal finance in dating.

Apart from the traditional matching criteria in main-stream dating apps (e.g. age / geo location), our matching algorithm bases on an overview of a user's spending habits to determine the compatibility between one and another on the platform. Deal Maker will challenge a user and their potential partner with a little test before they are off to their first date. The cost and the ways to divide on a first date must be agreed upon the matchee finding a compatible profile.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

Mobile App Component：

• Android Studio
• Java SDK 1.8

Data Integration Component：

• Capital One Hackathon Developer API (with a valid Bearer token)
• Java SDK 1.8
• SQLite

Installing

Generating data: Obtain a Bearer token following the instructions stated in: https://developer.capitalone.co.uk/hackathon and paste into a key.txt file

move key.txt file to "Dealmaker/preprocc/src/main/resources/key.txt" maven build with goals in preprocc 'mvn clean package' then execute

preprocess/target>java -jar target/preprocc-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar 

To build the API, simply run:

dealmakerapi> mvn clean jetty:run

To host it somewhere more stable, you can use it with docker:

dealmakerapi> docker build . -t dealmakerapi
dealmakerapi> docker run -p 8080:8080 dealmakerapi

The Docker image comes with batteries included, that is the Sqlite-Database. There is no further setup needed, if the sample dataset is enough.

Built With

• Maven - Dependency Management for Data Integration
• Gradle - Dependency Management for Mobile App Component
• Docker - Container for Sqlite database and matching API
