Grocery receipt store

Web development course project

Prototype mobile webapp for storing receipts with automated text parsing.

Looks best with Chromium based browsers (uses datepicker in date-input field) and mobile browsers.

Architecture

AngularJS + Bootstrap frontend
- Pretty minimal animated UI
- Some data visualization with D3 library
- Autocompletes text input when entering products manually
Rest api backend with Python Flask
- Scrapers for some Finnish grocery store items
- Tesseract for OCR, called with shell script.
MongoDB database

Module seperation is pretty good in both backend and frontend.

Untested on most browsers, works probably only on fairly new browsers.

Code is untested.

Proper data validation / db schema is missing.

Some problems with removing cookies at logout (http simple auth).

OCR could be done a lot better.. Currently works for demoing.

Project is not optimized for production use (minified js ...)

Create the file './app/secrets.py' and put inside credentials for accessing MongoDB like:
MONGO_URI = 'mongodb://mongo/app'
Install Docker and Docker-Compose as described here:
https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/
https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/
Execute being in the root:
docker-compose up
Open the page in a browser:
http://localhost:8008/
