Splitsum is a clone of Splitwise, an app that makes it easy to split bills with friends and family. This is done by organizing all shared expenses in one place, so that everyone can see who they owe.
- Frontend: React, Redux, HTML5, CSS3, Javascript
- Backend: Ruby on Rails, PostreSQL
- Modal pop-up for adding expenses.
- Live search bar for friends to include in expense item.
- Live updating of friends list as user types into search field.
- Ability to click on user searched to add to friends added list.
- Dropdown menu for who paid. Selection of User or any added friends. Backend calculates oweings and total amounts are updated.
- The amount owed by each friend is automatically shown to the user as the expense amount is typed.
- Each expense added has a feature to add any number of friends to split the expense with and to select one friend who paid the expense.
- To acheive the updating and calculations on the backend, I created a seperate expense_group table that saves each member related to the expense. The model then calculates the ledger owed at the user level using ActiveRecord queries, which is then updated on the frontend.
