✈️ Airline Management System (C++ TUI)

A complete Airline Management System built in C++. This project demonstrates object-oriented programming, data persistence, and modern C++ build systems. It features both a standard Command Line Interface (CLI) for automated testing environments and a fully interactive Terminal User Interface (TUI) built with FTXUI.

✨ Key Features

• Dual Interfaces: Contains two distinct executables—a standard CLI and an interactive, mouse-driven TUI.
• Interactive TUI Dashboard: Navigate through visually formatted tables to view Planes, Crew Members, and Flights.
• Dynamic Form Validation: Seamlessly add new data (Cargo vs. Regular planes, Pilots vs. Hosts) through interactive terminal forms.
• Data Persistence: All states and entries are read from and saved to data/Delta.txt on exit.
• Polymorphism in Action: Deep reliance on inheritance (CPlane -> CCargo, CCrewMember -> CPilot) for rendering dynamic properties.

🐳 Docker

You can build and run the project in a container without installing any C++ toolchain locally.

Pull Pre-built Image

A pre-built image is automatically published to GitHub Container Registry on every push to master:

docker pull ghcr.io/idobaruch7/airline-project:latest
docker run -it ghcr.io/idobaruch7/airline-project:latest

Build Locally

docker build -t airline-project .

# Interactive TUI (default)
docker run -it airline-project

# CLI version
docker run -it airline-project AirlineProject

The image uses a multi-stage build. GCC 13 compiles the project in the first stage, then only the binaries are copied into a slim Debian runtime (~78MB).

🛠️ Build & Installation Instructions

This project uses CMake to automatically handle dependencies (it will download the FTXUI library for you during configuration).

Prerequisites

• A C++17 compatible compiler (g++, clang, or MSVC)
• CMake (3.14 or higher)
• Make

Building the Project

Clone the repository and run the standard CMake build commands:

# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/Airline-Project.git
cd Airline-Project

# 2. Create the build directory
mkdir -p build && cd build

# 3. Configure and compile the code
cmake ..
make

Running the Application

Ensure you run the executables from the root of the project so they can correctly locate the data/Delta.txt mock database!

To run the modern Interactive TUI:

./build/AirlineProject_TUI

To run the standard CLI version:

./build/AirlineProject
