Steps to Run the Project

Prerequisites

1. Install Node.js and npm (for the frontend):

   • Download and install from Node.js official website.

2. Install Java Development Kit (JDK):

   • Ensure you have JDK 11 or higher installed.

3. Install MySQL:

   • Set up a MySQL server and create a database for the application.

4. Install Maven:

   • Required for building the Spring Boot backend.

5. Stripe API Keys:

   • Obtain the public and secret keys from the Stripe dashboard.

Backend Setup (Spring Boot)

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/momonaim/mst-rsi-poo-flight-booking.git
   cd mst-rsi-poo-flight-booking/server

2. Update application.properties:

   • Navigate to src/main/resources/application.properties and update the following:

     spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/your_database_name
     spring.datasource.username=your_username
     spring.datasource.password=your_password

3. Build the project:

   mvn clean install

4. Run the backend server:

   mvn spring-boot:run

   Or use the SpringBoot Extension from VS Code

Frontend Setup (React)

1. Navigate to the client directory:

   cd flight-booking/client

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Update the Stripe public key:

   • Open src/index.js and replace the placeholder:

     const stripePromise = loadStripe('your_stripe_public_key');

4. Start the development server:

   npm start

5. Access the application:

   • Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000.

Database Initialization

1. Run initial scripts:

   • Execute the SQL scripts if needed to initialize the database schema and seed data.

2. Verify database connection:

   • Ensure the backend is correctly connected to the MySQL database by checking the logs for successful startup messages.

Stripe API Key Configuration

To enable payment functionality, update the Stripe API keys in the relevant files.

Backend (Secret Key)

The Stripe secret key must be updated in the following files:

1. server/src/main/java/com/flight/flight_backend/StripeConfig.java

   • Locate the following line:

     Stripe.apiKey = "STRIPE_API_SECRET_KEY";

     Replace "STRIPE_API_SECRET_KEY" with your actual Stripe secret key.

2. server/src/main/java/com/flight/flight_backend/controller/PaymentController.java

   • Ensure that the secret key is correctly referenced in all methods interacting with Stripe.

Frontend (Public Key)

The Stripe public key must be updated in:

1. client/src/index.js
   • Locate the following line:

     const stripePromise = loadStripe('STRIPE_API_PUBLIC_KEY');

     Replace 'STRIPE_API_PUBLIC_KEY' with your actual Stripe public key.

Important Notes

• Security: Never expose the secret key on the frontend. Use environment variables to securely store the API keys, especially in a production environment.
• Stripe Documentation: For more information about managing API keys, refer to the official Stripe documentation.

---

Technologies Used

• Frontend: React with Material-UI for the user interface.
• Backend: Spring Boot for handling services and REST APIs.
• Database: MySQL for storing flight, customer, and reservation data.
• Payment: Stripe integration for seamless payment management.
