Pricetag is an University project. Actually, We chose to make this because we didn't like the proposed one by the Professor so we came up with this challenging idea. Basically, the program works like CamelCamelCamel but the core part here is that all the prices are tracked by clients. That means when you search a product, firstly, pricetag will check if any of the connected client has already a more updated price timeline, if so all the data is sent to requester. Secondly it will make a request to lookup the product in Amazon. The project is made with Java for client side and Nodejs as a server side, to trace all clients and to make a peer-to-peer communication through sockets. Everything is possibile thanks to
Download and run it!
Run
java -jar downloaded.jar databasefile
where databasefile is a file where pricetag will use as database to store products.
Actually you can omit the database file, that means everything will be stored in the memory and once you close the program all data will be erased:
java -jar downloaded.jar
Note: if you are under Java 9, it may have problems. If so try to run:
java --add-modules java.xml.bind -jar downloaded.jar databasefile
If you want to build your own version from scratch:
- Make sure to get npm
- Go to /server directory
- Run
npm install - Run
npm run build
- Make sure to get Maven
- Go to /client directory
- Run
mvn package - Run
java -jar target/app-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
