Long gone are the days of struggling to store and keep track of physical receipts. Digiceipt acts as a a digital receipt storage solution to solve the issue of lost paper receipts.
The full-stack web application was developed using Angular, NodeJS, MongoDB and Express.
A REST API was developed using Express and Mongoose, implementing different HTTP verbs for data manipulation and storage.
Angular routing was incorporated to develop multiple views in an SPA, as well as user file upload to allow for the uploading of the receipt image.
The uploaded receipt image text was converted to digital text using OCR through the use of the Google Cloud Vision API, and then stored in MongoDB.
The app is still currently under construction, but it won't be long before DigiCeipt comes to life!
I plan on adding more features to the application as the future approaches, including things like:
- Receipts Grouping - Allow users to organize their receipts more effectively
- Receipts Vault Storage - Add a passcode locked section where users can store high security receipts
- Exporting - Users will be able to export all their receipts to an Excel Spreadsheet
