Implement modular architecture for AutoCheckoutPosSystem demo #1

Copilot · 2025-12-17T15:14:04Z

Transform empty repository into a modular POS system demo with clean architecture, eliminating production complexity while preserving core checkout functionality.

Architecture

5-layer design:

Models: Product, Cart, Payment, Receipt with validation
Core: ProductManager, CheckoutManager for business logic
Services: DataLoader, ReceiptService for I/O operations
Utils: Formatters and validators
CLI: Interactive terminal interface

# Clean separation enables isolated testing and extension
from src.core.product_manager import ProductManager
from src.core.checkout_manager import CheckoutManager

manager = ProductManager()
checkout = CheckoutManager(manager)
checkout.add_to_cart("P001", 2)
receipt = checkout.complete_checkout(PaymentMethod.CASH)

Implementation

Product Management: CRUD operations, inventory tracking, search by name/category
Cart Operations: Add/remove items, quantity updates, discount application
Checkout Flow: 4 payment methods, transaction processing, automatic inventory adjustment
Receipt System: Dual-format output (text/JSON), persistent storage with unique IDs
Sample Data: 15 products across 6 categories in JSON format

Documentation

README.md/README_CN.md: Bilingual setup and usage guides
ARCHITECTURE.md: Layer responsibilities and design patterns
PROJECT_SUMMARY.md: Metrics and implementation details

Dependencies

Zero external dependencies - pure Python stdlib for maximum portability.

Files: 28 created (~1,500 LOC) | Tests: 5/5 passing | Security: No vulnerabilities

Original prompt

This project is intended to create a demo adaptation of the original alAutoCheckoutSystem repository. The following task will involve restructuring the code to ensure modular design while maintaining the application logic found in the original repository. The project renaming shall reflect this change as AutoCheckoutPosSystem. Various key steps to execute include:

Refactoring the codebase by reorganizing the current implementation into distinct modular components while retaining all features.

Drafting documentation (in English and Chinese) to explain the demo project, its structure, and modular design rationale.

Enriching the architecture by defining a clear file and folder hierarchy that separates reusable modules from application-specific components.

Providing any obligatory configuration or resource files as placeholders including adding/updating README to reflect project structure and design goals.

The repository should be tailored to demo purposes, eliminating any production-level configurations or confidential settings while ensuring the logic retained can exhibit the system's capabilities effectively.

Ensure the project preserves its primary logic, focusing solely on enhanced modularity and demo-oriented presentation.

src/core/checkout_manager.py

+        # Create a snapshot of the cart for the receipt
+        from copy import deepcopy
+        cart_snapshot = deepcopy(self.current_cart)


The deepcopy of the cart in generate_receipt occurs after inventory has already been updated in process_payment (line 156). Since the cart contains Product objects that are references to the products in ProductManager's inventory, the cart snapshot will reflect the already-decremented stock values, not the original stock levels at the time of purchase. This means receipts will show incorrect stock quantities. The cart snapshot should be created before calling _update_inventory.

src/services/receipt_service.py

+    def get_receipt_path(self, receipt_id: str, format: str = 'txt') -> Optional[Path]:

+            Path to the receipt file if it exists
+        """
+        path = self.storage_dir / f"{receipt_id}.{format}"


The parameter name 'format' shadows the built-in function format() in Python. Consider renaming it to 'file_format' or 'fmt' to avoid shadowing the built-in.

src/core/product_manager.py

+
+        for key, value in kwargs.items():
+            if hasattr(product, key):
+                setattr(product, key, value)
+


The update_product method allows bypassing validation by directly setting attributes. For example, it's possible to set negative price or stock values by calling update_product(product_id, price=-10, stock=-5), which would violate the Product model's post_init validation. Consider either removing this method or adding validation before setting attributes to ensure data integrity.

Suggested change

for key, value in kwargs.items():

if hasattr(product, key):

setattr(product, key, value)

# Create a dict of current attributes so that we can validate

# the updated state by constructing a new Product instance.

updated_data = vars(product).copy()

for key, value in kwargs.items():

if hasattr(product, key):

updated_data[key] = value

# Construct a new Product to ensure __post_init__ validation runs.

validated_product = Product(**updated_data)

self._products[product_id] = validated_product

src/models/__init__.py

+from .payment import Payment, PaymentMethod
+from .receipt import Receipt
+
+__all__ = ['Product', 'Cart', 'CartItem', 'Payment', 'PaymentMethod', 'Receipt']


PaymentStatus is exported from payment.py but not included in the all list. Since PaymentStatus is part of the public API (used in Receipt.to_dict output and potentially by consumers checking payment.status), it should be included in the exports.

Suggested change

from .payment import Payment, PaymentMethod

from .receipt import Receipt

__all__ = ['Product', 'Cart', 'CartItem', 'Payment', 'PaymentMethod', 'Receipt']

from .payment import Payment, PaymentMethod, PaymentStatus

from .receipt import Receipt

__all__ = ['Product', 'Cart', 'CartItem', 'Payment', 'PaymentMethod', 'PaymentStatus', 'Receipt']

src/core/checkout_manager.py

+    def add_to_cart(self, product_id: str, quantity: int = 1) -> bool:
+        """
+        Add a product to the cart.
+
+        Args:
+            product_id: ID of the product to add
+            quantity: Quantity to add
+
+        Returns:
+            True if added successfully, False otherwise
+        """
+        product = self.product_manager.get_product(product_id)
+        if not product:
+            return False
+
+        # Check availability
+        if not self.product_manager.check_availability(product_id, quantity):
+            return False
+
+        self.current_cart.add_item(product, quantity)
+        return True


The add_to_cart method only checks if the requested quantity is available in stock, but doesn't account for quantities already in the cart. If a product with 10 items in stock is already in the cart with quantity 8, adding 5 more will pass the availability check (line 46) but result in a total cart quantity of 13, exceeding the available stock of 10. This will cause an error during checkout when _update_inventory tries to reduce stock below zero. The check should validate against the cumulative quantity (existing cart quantity + new quantity).

Copilot · 2025-12-17T16:00:02Z

src/models/cart.py

+    def add_item(self, product: Product, quantity: int = 1) -> None:
+        """
+        Add a product to the cart.
+
+        Args:
+            product: Product to add

+                return
+
+        # Add new item
+        self.items.append(CartItem(product=product, quantity=quantity))


The add_item method does not validate that the quantity parameter is positive. When adding an item with a quantity of 0 or negative, it bypasses the CartItem.post_init validation if the product already exists in the cart (line 61), or creates an invalid CartItem if it's a new product (line 65 will raise ValueError). This inconsistent behavior should be handled by adding validation at the start of the method.

Extra space at the beginning of the output line. Should be "Found" without the leading space.

Suggested change

print(f"\n Found {len(products)} product(s):")

print(f"\nFound {len(products)} product(s):")
