What Kind Of Technologies Will I Need To Build A Fintech Application? by tensazangetsu20(m): 7:09pm On May 28, 2020 |
I want to make a FinTech application for my project. The app would be web based and people could log in and then make transfer using their credit card to any bank account in naija. I just started learning to code and I feel this is something that would require a lot of OOP and asynchronous programming which I am struggling with. I don't really like the to do list apps, games and tiny calculators I am doing. I am looking to do something hard and massive. What kind of technologies and APIs would I be working with and how would you advice I go about this. 2 Likes |

You can integrate paystack api to handle your payments, also learn how to use webhook 2 Likes |

Since it is web application. I assume you already know how to design the user interface. For the rest u can use PHP or any of its libraries like code igniter or cake php MYSQLI for database Flutterwave for your API(this is the one that will handle all the financial transactions) Sendgrid API(This is for email, you can use the in built php mailer on the server but your emails will often end in spambox, and since u will often send mail to users after a successful transactions or for any other purposes then having a third party API like Sendgrid is good) If you have any other questions please let me know 3 Likes 1 Share |

cbrass:Thanks men. I am already building the UI. I am cloning pagas website. Would it be possible to substitute PHP for node JS. I know front end JavaScript to a particular level and I don't think picking up nodejs would be difficult for me. |

cbrass:I am not a UI designer. So would use a renowned design to do it. Besides I am not going to host this. It's a personal project to add to my portfolio. |

tensazangetsu20: Bro, like someone said you’d have to use paystack or flutterwave to achieve this, so your app basically acts as a wrapper to paystacks api, the reason being, banks do not make their apis open to the general public, but only to payments platforms like etransacts, paystack and co. So I doubt there’s another way for a hobbyist/solo developer to access the banks apis directly Regarding the design/ui of your app, check dribble.io. It’s a site for graphic/ui designers to share their portfolio with clients/employers You’d see lots of beautiful and modern ui designs there. It’s a good way to fine tune your html/css abilities, without having to worry about your lack of design skills 3 Likes 2 Shares |

15thAccount:Thanks men. Already got started. Most dribble designs aren't always full websites. Just the homepage. I am done with the homepage UI thoughm |
Re: What Kind Of Technologies Will I Need To Build A Fintech Application? by tensazangetsu20(m): 8:01pm On Jun 03, 2020 |
I built the UI though. What do you guys think. This is only the homepage for now but I am building other pages. https://chinomso1995.github.io/mini-fintech-application I edited some things off from pagas own though. CC 15thAccount cbrass |

tensazangetsu20: This is beautiful. Did you use bootstrap for this or vanilla css? It came out a little mashed on my phone, but that has to do with design, you’ve admitted design isn’t your talent . The background image also looks a bit stretched which again is a design problem rather than structural. It may also be my phone, it probably displays better when viewed on a laptop. Don’t worry too much about it tho, if you begin to focus on trivial issues, you’ll spend one month on the landing page and won’t make progress on the overall project 8/10 asides that it’s responsive and beautiful, I like the sticky navbar also.

15thAccount: I only used bootstrap for the carousels. I honestly did not want to start writing javascript for that. Every other thing is plain css. You can check the source codes on my github. You use an Iphone. I would need to look at media screen size and adjusts it. It looks okay on an android device. |

15thAccount: I am done with the UI but I am kind of stuck. You can review the page and you would see its responsive across various mobile devices. I want to create a unique login and password for the website. I want a page to show once that username and password is entered. What kind of technology would I use to achieve this? The app itself will be housed within the created page. |
Re: What Kind Of Technologies Will I Need To Build A Fintech Application? by 15thAccount: 10:26pm On Jun 11, 2020 |
tensazangetsu20: You’re entering JavaScript territory. How’s your JavaScript? You’ll need to catch up on js to add logic to your site. Html and css are for static webpages. Once you need to introduce some logic, like login or logout or to interact with some database, you’ll need JavaScript or some server side language. JavaScript is the natural next step though, so carry on. 1 Like 1 Share |

15thAccount:My JavaScript is okay. I have been learning JavaScript for like ten hours a day for the past month. I also have a lot of projects but they are all boring like calculators, quote generators and stupid shit like that. How would you recommend I go about adding JavaScript to the data base. What I wanna achieve is this: Create a unique username to login to the website. When that username is entered a new page which would house the app is delivered. If it's back end I don't mind going with nodejs since it's still JavaScript and I believe I can learn it easily. |

tensazangetsu20: You don’t need node at this point, JavaScript has access to your browsers local storage, which can serve as a database for this use case. The browser provides an api called storage, just like the DOM, which you can use for crud operations. Storage.set(key, value), Storage.get(value). Imagine this workflow. When a user wants to sign up, he enters a username and a password. Once he clicks the sign up button, you’ve already set up an event listener in your js file to take in the username and password and store them in local storage. Maybe storage.set(username, password). When someone intends to login, once he provides a username and password, in your event listener method, you take in the username name, use a storage.get(username) which returns the password (or returns null if no password exists) then you compare the password provided by the user to the password returned from storage.get(username) If both are the same it means the user credentials are valid. Then you can route/redirect the user to any page you want, using another browser api “location.assign(relative url)” which routes the user to the relative url page. If the user credentials are invalid, you can display an error message on the login page, without redirecting the user anywhere. Relative url simply means the url relative to your project directory I.e an absolute url is the full path to a webpage. http://www.example.com/index.html is an absolute url a relative url would simply be index.html 1 Like |

tensazangetsu20: If there’s anything you don’t understand let me know, so I try to explain better, or better still provide resources that might help you out. You will certainly need node to build the backend of your app. I was just showing you a hack to emulate a backend. It is very insecure and I doubt anyone uses it in the industry. Once you’re done implementing your login and logout functionality. Then move on to your backend. There are very good 3rd party libraries for authentication like passportjs |
Re: What Kind Of Technologies Will I Need To Build A Fintech Application? by tensazangetsu20(m): 9:49am On Jun 12, 2020 |
15thAccount:Thanks men. I think with local storage and location.assign I believe I can build everything on the front end. It's not a really complex application. |
Re: What Kind Of Technologies Will I Need To Build A Fintech Application? by tensazangetsu20(m): 6:49pm On Jun 13, 2020 |
15thAccount:Thanks men. I used a different method. Instead of get storage I set a static password using the input.value method and if the password I set is true. The website then takes you to a new page. I am working on the payment details now. Hopefully I would be done by the end of this new week. |

tensazangetsu20:How did you achieve the responsive navbar (hamburger menu). For example, when you click on the menu icon, there will be a cancel icon(X). |
Re: What Kind Of Technologies Will I Need To Build A Fintech Application? by tensazangetsu20(m): 1:34pm On Jun 16, 2020 |
Designer123:CSS and JavaScript. Created a CSS class to move the lines by 45 degrees and then the middle one opacity to zero and then JavaScript to toggle the classes when it's clicked. |
