CarSharingDapp

This project is meant to provide a decentralised platform for sharing/renting ones so as to eliminate the problems caused by the centralised counterparts (like lack of trust, transparency, etc).

Installation

Create a virtual environment using virtualenv env on windows or python3 -m venv env on linux.
Activate the virtual environment by using source env/Scripts/activate on windows or source env/bin/activate on linux.
cd to the blockchain directory and Install the python dependencies using
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
If it doesn't work manually install brownie using
```
pip install eth-brownie
```
Install Ganache from https://trufflesuite.com/ganache/
Install Metamask from Chrome Web Store.
Install node for running the react app.

Add ganache gui to brownie networks using the following command

brownie networks add Ethereum ganache-local host=http://127.0.0.1:7545 chainid=5777

Running instructions

Use the deploy.sh script in the scripts folder to deploy the smart contracts and run the react app using the following command bash scripts/deploy.sh What this script essentially does is:

Compile the smart contracts
Deploy them to the ganache GUI network which we added.
Copy the addresses on which the contracts are deployed and paste them in the .env file for the react app.
Copy the contracts' ABI files to the react app.
Starts the React server.

Since the script is really crude and I designed it mainly to work on my machine, if it fails to run on your machine or if it produces incorrecct results, do all the steps mentioned above manually.

To Do work

MUST DO

Refactor the code.
Create class/sequence diagrams.
Create report/ppt
Deploy the contracts on ethereum test nets (ropsten/rinkeby) and test them.
Improve the UI.

Addtional stuff if time permits

Add a login feature.
Add a server to allow video calls betwwen the owner and rentee.
Use the server's data to predict people's emotions and hence give them better reccomendations on customers.
