Supermarket Management System

Objective:
You will be building supermarket management system using React (Frontend),
Spring Boot Microservices (Backend), and MySQL (database)
Project Overview:
A supermarket management system is a software solution that helps streamline
and automate various operations involved in managing a supermarket or grocery
store. It provides tools and functionalities to efficiently handle inventory
management, sales, customer management, purchasing, and other essential
tasks.
Key components and features typically found in a supermarket
management system
Inventory Management: The system allows supermarket staff to manage and
track inventory effectively. It includes features such as barcode scanning, stock
level monitoring, automated reordering, and real-time inventory updates. It
helps ensure that the right products are available in the right quantities,
minimizing stockouts and overstocking.
Point of Sale (POS) System: The system includes a POS module that enables
cashiers to process sales transactions. It supports barcode scanning, price
lookup, discounts, multiple payment methods, and receipt generation. The POS
system integrates with the inventory management module to update stock levels
after each sale.
Product Catalog: The system maintains a comprehensive catalog of products
available in the supermarket. It includes product details such as name,
description, price, unit of measure, and applicable taxes. The catalog may be
categorized into departments and sections to facilitate easy navigation for
customers and staff.
Customer Management: The system includes features to manage customer
data and loyalty programs. It enables supermarket staff to capture customer
information, track purchase history, and offer personalized promotions or
discounts based on customer preferences. Customer management tools help
build strong customer relationships and enhance customer satisfaction.
Reporting and Analytics: The system generates various reports and analytics
to provide insights into supermarket performance. It includes sales reports,
inventory reports, profit and loss statements, and customer analytics. These
reports help management make informed decisions, identify trends, and
optimize operations.
Employee Management: The system assists in managing employee
information, scheduling, and attendance tracking. It includes features for staff
rostering, shift management, and payroll calculations. Employee management
tools help streamline workforce management and ensure adequate staffing
levels.
Security and Access Control: The system includes security features such as
user authentication, role-based access control, and data encryption. It helps
protect sensitive data, prevent unauthorized access, and ensure data privacy and
compliance with regulations.
DAY 1: Creating the login and registration forms using React
Phase 1: Create a UML use case diagram to represent the different actors and
their interactions with the system. Use arrows to show the relationships and
dependencies between the actors and use cases for the complete case study
mentioned above.
• Set up the environment according to the application needs.
• Set up a new React project using Create React App or your preferred
method.
• Create basic (UI) forms for registering and logging in a user using react.
Give specific endpoints for the two forms.
• After registration, make the login page functional, i.e.it should redirect
the user to the home page (blank as of now). In case of error in any of the
credentials, the appropriate error must be displayed.
• In the process, make sure that the user is added to the database and the
form reloads on submission and clear errors upon successful
registration/login.
DAY 2: Getting user data into Global state and creating app components
• Use Redux to make user data available on global state. This will pass the
props from parent to grandchild components without having to pass the
props through all child components.
• Design page header component and side panel
• Use React Router for navigation.
• Create navigation section of the header page which includes icons and
log-out functionality
DAY 3: Create and design homepage component
 • The homepage of any website serves as the default page of that website.
That is reason enough for the homepage to be really expressive as well as
creative.
• Include a footer section with links to important pages, such as terms and
conditions, privacy policy, FAQ, and contact information.
• Include social media icons or links to encourage users to follow your
website on various social platforms.
DAY 4: Design other components
• Create and design all other necessary components.
• To attain reusability, pass parameters (referred to as props in React.js) to
your functional component.
DAY 5: Adding more functionality to the application
• You can also use React Context API to share data values between
components without having to pass a prop through every level of the
app tree.
• Add more functionality to the application.
DAY 6: Design the database schema
• Determine the entities and relationships required for the application.
• Create the necessary tables and define the relationships between
them.
DAY 7: Set up the backend with Spring Boot
• Create a new Spring Boot projects using your preferred IDE.
• Set up the project dependencies, including Spring Web, Spring Data
JPA, and any additional dependencies required for your database
(e.g., MySQL).
• Configure the database connection in the application.properties file.
• Create entity classes representing your database tables, with
appropriate annotations for mapping to the database.
DAY 8: Spring Boot CRUD operation implementation
• Implement repository interfaces using Spring Data JPA for database
operations for all the applications.
 • Create RESTful APIs using Spring Web to handle CRUD operations
for different entities.
• Create APIs for all other functionality which is required for the
application.
DAY 9: Implement Spring security
• Add authentication and authorization mechanisms to secure your APIs,
• Make use of JSON Web Tokens (JWT) or OAuth 2.0.
DAY 10: Implement security measures:
• Implement user registration, login, and session management
functionalities.
• Make sure you build a secure application.
DAY 11: Build microservices architecture
• Identify different microservices within your application.
• Create separate modules or projects for each microservice.
• Implement business logic and functionality within each microservice.
• Set up database connections for each microservice using Spring Data JPA
or your preferred method.
• Implement RESTful APIs for each microservice, focusing on specific
functionality
DAY 12: Setup Service Discovery and Communication
• Choose a service discovery mechanism like Netflix Eureka
• Configure service registration and discovery within each microservice.
• Implement communication between microservices using RESTful APIs
or messaging queues.
DAY 13: Implement API gateway with Spring Cloud Gateway
• Create a new Spring Boot project for your API Gateway.
• Include the Spring Cloud Gateway dependency.
• Configure the API routes, load balancing, and routing rules in the API
Gateway project.
DAY 14: Set up messaging with RabbitMQ
• Configure RabbitMQ connection details in each microservice project.
 • Define message queues, exchanges, and bindings for the communication
between microservices.
• Implement event producers and consumers within microservices to
publish and consume messages.
Day 15: Integrate frontend with microservices via API Gateway
• Connect the frontend components with the API Gateway.
• Implement API calls to interact with the API Gateway using libraries like
Axios.
• Make HTTP requests to the API Gateway routes, which will route the
requests to the appropriate microservices.
• Handle responses and update the UI accordingly.
DAY 16: Implement additional features
• Design and implement features like search functionality, filters, sorting,
and pagination for listings.
• Implement features like user reviews, ratings.
• Integrate Stripe payment in your React application.
• Make application more creative and attractive by adding more features.
• Give a new name to your application and make a new logo for it
DAY 17: Write test cases
• Identify the critical paths and functionalities in your application.
• Write unit tests for each microservice to verify the behaviour of
individual components.
• Use testing frameworks like JUnit to write the test cases.
• Mock external dependencies using tools like Mockito to isolate the
components under test.
DAY 18: Test and debug
• Consider writing end-to-end tests to simulate user interactions and verify
the overall system behaviour.
• Execute the written test cases and verify that they pass successfully.
• Debug any failures or unexpected behaviours and fix the issues in the
code.
• Conduct integration testing to verify the communication between
microservices and the API Gateway.
• Debug and fix any issues that arise during testing.
Day 19: Dockerizing Spring Boot (Microservices) App and deployment
• Build Docker images for each of your microservices and the API
Gateway.
• Create a Dockerfile in each microservice and API Gateway project to
define the image build process.
• Include all necessary dependencies and configurations in the Docker
images.
• Push the Docker images for your microservices and API Gateway to the
container registry (Docker hub).
• Log in to the AWS Management Console and navigate to Amazon ECS.
• Create a new ECS cluster that will host your Docker containers.
Day 20: Deploy the Microservices, API Gateway, and RabbitMQ
• Create an ECS task definition and ECS service for each microservice and
the API Gateway.
• Setup load balancing by creating an Application Load Balancer (ALB) in
AWS
• Configure the ALB to distribute incoming traffic to your microservices
and API Gateway.
• Set up listeners and target groups to route requests to the appropriate ECS
services.
• Create security groups to control inbound and outbound traffic for your
ECS instances.
• Use the AWS Management Console or the AWS Command Line Interface
(CLI) to deploy your ECS services.
• Create ECS service tasks based on the task definitions you created earlier.
• Monitor the deployment process and ensure that the tasks are running
successfully.
