Mobile Money Module for the Mifos Platform

Work done

• Implemented MVP with MTN Mobile Money as case study

Work currently being done

• New interface for version 2 to accomodate changes
• Adding generic functionality to module to support multiple Mobile Money APIs

Setup

Code Structure:

The directory currently contains 2 folders:

• momo-backend - which is the webservice for this module
• momo-ui - which is the front end(interface) for this module

Initial Setup

To setup project on local environment,

1. Fork the project from official repository here
2. Clone the code from your own forked repo using git clone <url_to_your_fork>
3. Change in to the mobile-money-module directory using cd mobile-money-module
4. Add remote as upstream: git remote add upstream https://github.com/openMF/mobile-money-module

Setup Webservice

• As of now, the webservice is not ready enough for the production environment and so can only be run from a development environment
• Also, this webservice complements the Mifos core upon which this module also relies upon

1. Import project into IDE of choice such as Eclipse, IntelliJ(recommended)
2. Install dependencies using gradle manager
3. Run service

Setup UI

1. Change into the momo-ui directory: cd momo-ui
2. Install npm and bower dependencies: npm install && bower install
3. Run UI: grunt serve
