Shopping cart

Written by Emmanuel Valverde | Jan 28, 2023 9:00:00 AM

What do we want to build?

We are building a shopping cart for an online grocery shop.  The idea of this kata is to build the product in an iterative way.

Technical requirements

  • The price per unit is calculated based on the product cost and the percentage of revenue that the company wants for that product.
  • The price has to be rounded up; so if a price per unit calculated is 1.7825, then the expected price per unit for that product is 1.79
  • The final price of the product is then calculated as the price per unit with the VAT rounded up.
  • Products are not allowed to have the same name.

List of products

Name Cost % Revenue Price per unit Tax Final price
Iceberg 🥬 1.55 € 15 % 1,79 € Normal (21%) 2.17 €
Tomato 🍅 0.52 € 15 % 0.60 € Normal (21%) 0.73 €
Chicken 🍗 1.34 € 12 % 1.51 € Normal (21%) 1.83 €

Possible API for the ShoppingCart

You could change this API this is only for example purposes.

Approach 1 passing objects as arguments could be DTO

public interface ShoppingCart {
    public void addItem(Product product);
    public void deleteItem(Product product);
    public void applyDiscount(Discount discount)
    public void printShoppingCart();
}

Approach 2 passing primitives as arguments
 
public interface ShoppingCart {
    public void addItem(String productName);
    public void deleteItem(String productName);
    public void applyDiscount(Double discount)
    public void printShoppingCart();
}

Approach 3 passing primitives as arguments and returning a DTO

public interface ShoppingCart {
    public void addItem(String productName);
    public void deleteItem(String productName);
    public void applyDiscount(Double discount)
    public ShoppingCartList getShoppingCart();
}
