⁠What This Does

Listens on port 3000

Waits for a post that contains a string-ified JSON file with a value "url" set to the image url for the Tesseract OCR to analyze. data is formatted in a JSON that matches item names to prices, total price, and shop name. This can evaluate the receipt info of the following stores: Walmart, Safeway, Fred Meyer, and Grocery Outlet.

⁠To Modify

Find the code to the image here: https://github.com/Reciept-reader/reciept-reader/tree/main⁠ in the /docker-container/ folder

To build the image from the folder:

Change directory to the docker-container folder

DON'T FORGET THE DOT AT THE END OF THE COMMAND

In the Dockerfile, line 17, the port can be modified. In index.js, line 17, the port can also be modified.

The API post to where the docker container is running can be changed in the MobileApp/src/function/connectToOCRFun.js, either by passing a different link as the "hostUrl" parameter, or by editing the constant linkToContainer variable on line 4. For example, if both the app and container is running on your current computer, the link can be changed to "http://localhost:3000⁠"
