Summary:

• This week, the team focused on implementing a TCP client-server communication for simulating the loyalty system project. We first scrutinized the swagger for objects and elements that are related to our system. Then we switched to implementing them into our console application

Accomplishments:

• Implemented a TransactionService with routes to start, add details, and complete transactions.
• Developed a custom JSON converter (TransactionLineConverter) to handle polymorphic deserialization for different transaction line types (ItemLine and FuelLine).
• Structured the system to centralize POSJournal data, aiming to incorporate discount, tax, and loyalty functionalities.
• Successfully handled ItemLine and FuelLine objects within transactions.

To-Do:

• Begin implementing the loyalty system using a Web API
• implementing a promo-engine function to not hard-code the discount value
