Killer App for Purple OS
Creating a basic estate management software in Ruby for an operating system like "Purple OS" requires some considerations regarding what the software should do. Estate management software typically includes features such as property listing, tenant management, lease management, payment tracking, and maintenance requests. Below is a simple terminal-based application that can be a starting point for estate management software.
Here's a basic implementation using Ruby:
### Prerequisites
1. Ensure you have Ruby installed on your machine. You can check by running `ruby -v` in your terminal.
2. Optionally, use a Ruby version manager like RVM or rbenv.
### Basic Structure
```ruby
# estate_management.rb
class Property
attr_accessor :address, :rent, :tenants
def initialize(address, rent)
@address = address
@rent = rent
@tenants = []
end
def add_tenant(tenant_name)
@tenants << tenant_name
end
def to_s
"#{@address} - Rent: $#{@rent} - Tenants: #{@tenants.join(', ')}"
end
end
class EstateManager
def initialize
@properties = []
end
def add_property(address, rent)
property = Property.new(address, rent)
@properties << property
puts "Property added: #{property}"
end
def list_properties
if @properties.empty?
puts "No properties found."
else
@properties.each { |property| puts property }
end
end
def add_tenant_to_property(address, tenant_name)
property = @properties.find { |p| p.address == address }
if property
property.add_tenant(tenant_name)
puts "Tenant #{tenant_name} added to #{property.address}."
else
puts "Property not found."
end
end
end
def main
estate_manager = EstateManager.new
loop do
puts "\nEstate Management System"
puts "1. Add Property"
puts "2. List Properties"
puts "3. Add Tenant to Property"
puts "4. Exit"
print "Choose an option: "
option = gets.chomp.to_i
case option
when 1
print "Enter property address: "
address = gets.chomp
print "Enter monthly rent: "
rent = gets.chomp.to_f
estate_manager.add_property(address, rent)
when 2
estate_manager.list_properties
when 3
print "Enter property address: "
address = gets.chomp
print "Enter tenant name: "
tenant_name = gets.chomp
estate_manager.add_tenant_to_property(address, tenant_name)
when 4
puts "Exiting..."
break
else
puts "Invalid option. Please try again."
end
end
end
# Run the main program
main
```
### How to Run the Program
1. Save the code to a file named `estate_management.rb`.
2. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you saved the file.
3. Run the code with the Ruby interpreter:
```bash
ruby estate_management.rb
```
### Features
1. **Add Property**: Allows the user to add properties with an address and rent.
2. **List Properties**: Displays all added properties and their tenants.
3. **Add Tenant to Property**: Lets the user add tenants to a specific property by entering the property address.
4. **Exit**: Quit the program.
### Further Enhancements
This is a simple starting point. Depending on the scope and requirements, you could enhance this software with features such as:
- Persistent storage of data using a database (SQLite, PostgreSQL, etc.).
- User authentication.
- User interface with a web framework (Rails or Sinatra).
- Maintenance and incident reporting.
- Payment history and reminders for tenants.
Make sure to test the application and gradually build upon its features according to your needs!
