CashMachine

CashMachine

An example cash machine <-> bank system implementation

uses JavaFX for the user interface.

Lab Brief

Notice the structure of the current project before you start. Read thru the code. READ THRU THE CODE.

• 2 Account Classes: Basic, Premium
• Other Classes include Bank, Account, CashMachine.

Read them all, trying to get an idea of how it all goes together.

Notice when reading the code...

• Each account has: id, name, email, balance
  • What does Premium account do that Basic does not?
• What are the two starter account already built into the project?
• Cash machine: enter account id to "login to account"
• enter a number then click deposit
• enter a number then click withdraw
• exit logs out of the account

Things to Change for the Lab

• Add more accounts to the default constructor of the Bank class.
• when you overdraft an account, print an alert message to the areaInfo object

Additional things to add

• make the account display more user friendly
  • add a Form layout that has separate TextFields for each piece of account info. You'll probablyfind a layout that lets you do this, a little like the FlowPane.
• make the login stuff more clear
  • disable the three buttons that operate on an account until a login happens and then enable them.
  • add another TextField for the amount entries. make it different from the fieldwhere you set the account ID.
• enable the amount entries to be floating point numbers instead of just integers when doing deposits and withdrawals.

• add a menu with a list of accounts in it and the menu action switched to that account. You may find that JavaFX already has such a thing.

• Add a New Account Window(!) that takes in the info required thru TextFields and creates the correct objects so that is can be changed like the pre-wired accounts.

NB: When googling for information on how to do all this, be sure you start every query with "javafx " and your other search terms. That will limit the results to things that probably are closer to what you need.
