BlueZone

An example application implementing Hexagonal Architecture

BlueZone allows car drivers to pay remotely for parking cars at zones in a city, instead of paying with coins using parking meters.

Users (driver actors) of the application are car drivers and parking inspectors.
- Car drivers will access the application using a Web UI (User Interface), and they can do the following:
  - Query all the available rates in the city, in order to choose the one of the zone he wants to park the at.
  - Purchase a parking ticket, paying an amount of money for parking a car at a zone, during a period of time. This period starts at current date-time. The ending date-time is calculated from the paid amount, according to the rate of the zone.
- Parking inspectors will access the application using a terminal with a CLI (Command Line Interface), and they can do the following:
  - Check whether a car is illegally parked at a zone. This will happen if there is no valid ticket for the car and the rate of the zone. A ticket is valid if current date-time is between the starting and ending date-time of the ticket period.
Driven actors needed by the application are: a rate repository, a ticket repository, and a payment service.

Download and extract this github repo to a local directory on your computer ( <bluezone_dir> )
Compile all modules (you need to do this just the first time before running):
```
cd <bluezone_dir>
./scripts/build.sh
```
Select the adapters to be plugged-in at each port, editing the "ports-adapters.properties" file, located in the "<bluezone_dir>/scripts" directory.

Run the entry point to the app:

cd <bluezone_dir>
./scripts/run_bluezone.sh
