# Voltify - Electricity Billing System
Voltify is a Java-based electricity billing system that aims to automate the process of calculating electricity bills based on the units consumed. It provides a seamless and convenient solution for users and local electricity offices to efficiently manage billing and data sharing. With its robust features and emphasis on data accuracy and security, Voltify is a modern take on the classic electricity billing system.
## Features
- Accurate calculation of the bill amount based on the units consumed.
- Instantaneous sharing of data between local electricity offices and users.
- Ensured safety and prevention of tampering with data.
## Installation
To run the Voltify electricity billing system locally, follow these steps:
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/SujalChoudhari/Voltify.git
```
2. Import the project into your preferred Java IDE (e.g., Eclipse).
3. Configure the module dependencies:
- Right-click on the project in the IDE.
- Select "Build Path" -> "Configure Build Path".
- In the "Libraries" tab, click on "Classpath" -> "Add JARs".
- Navigate to the `/Voltify/lib/` directory and select `mysql-connector-j-8.0.33.jar`.
- Click "Apply" and "OK" to save the changes.
4. Set up the database:
- Execute the SQL query in `/Voltify/src/database.sql` to create the database and tables required for the application.
- Update the connection details in the `Application` class to match your database configuration:
```java
database = new Database("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/voltify", System.getenv("user"), System.getenv("pass"));
```
5. Build and run the application using your IDE's built-in tools.
## Usage
1. Run the `Application` class (Make sure the database services are active).
2. Use the provided login panel to authenticate as either a User or an Admin.
3. Users can sign up, view/update their profile, estimate the cost based on the rate of 6.1 rs/unit, view past bills, and pay new bills by uploading the meter reading photo for verification.
4. Admins can view bills, mark them as paid, and access user data.
## Database Configuration
Voltify utilizes a MySQL database for data storage. The connection details can be configured in the `Database` class.
use the environment variables to use your own connection (`user`,`pass`).
Also update the url `jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/voltify` if needed.
Make sure you have MySQL installed and running on your local machine before running the Voltify application.
Open the `/Voltify/src/database.sql` and use its queries to create required tables and `admin`.
Default admin credentials are id=`0`,username=`admin`,password=`admin`.
