CinemaNow

This repository contains the code for a cinema app developed as part of the Software Development II course at the Faculty of Information Technologies.

Overview

Backend: Developed using .NET, providing a comprehensive API for managing cinema-related data.
Frontend: Built with Flutter, with separate interfaces for desktop (admin) and mobile (user) applications.

Getting Started

To get the app up and running, follow these steps:

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/NedzmijaMuminovic/CinemaNow

Configure Environment Variables:
- Set up your Stripe Secret key and email app password in your environment with one of these commands:
```
# Command Prompt
set STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=YourSecretKey
set EMAIL_PASSWORD=YourEmailAppPassword

# PowerShell
$env:STRIPE_SECRET_KEY = "YourSecretKey"
$env:EMAIL_PASSWORD = "YourEmailAppPassword"
```
- Alternatively, use .env files:
  - For the backend, place the .env file in CinemaNow/CinemaNow.
  - For the frontend (mobile app), place it in CinemaNow/CinemaNow/UI/cinemanow_mobile/assets.
Run the backend and services using Docker:
- In the project's root directory (CinemaNow/CinemaNow), use the following command:
```
docker-compose up --build
```
Run the frontend:
- For Desktop:
  - Open the Flutter project in Visual Studio Code (CinemaNow/CinemaNow/UI/cinemanow_desktop).
  - Install the necessary dependencies:
```
dart pub get
```
  - Run the Flutter app for Windows:
```
flutter run -d windows
```
- For Mobile:
  - Open the Flutter project in Visual Studio Code (CinemaNow/CinemaNow/UI/cinemanow_mobile).
  - Install the necessary dependencies:
```
dart pub get
```
  - Connect a physical device or start an emulator.
  - Run the Flutter app for mobile:
    - For an emulator (if you have an .env file configured):
      flutter run
    - For a physical device (replacing 192.168.x.x with your device's IP address):
      flutter run --dart-define=API_HOST=192.168.x.x
    - Or, if you prefer to specify your Stripe Publishable Key directly, use:
      flutter run --dart-define=STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=YourPublishableKey

Additional Notes

Email Notifications: The app uses RabbitMQ to send an email after successful user registration.
