Apple Calculator

This is an advanced calculator powered by the Google Gemini API, designed to solve mathematical problems through an interactive drawing interface. Users can draw shapes or diagrams on the screen to visually represent math problems, such as finding the length of the hypotenuse in a right-angled triangle, and the calculator will compute the answer using the given values.

Features

• Interactive Problem Solving: Solve mathematical problems by drawing on the screen, such as calculating the hypotenuse by sketching a triangle and inputting the side lengths.
• Google Gemini API Integration: Provides enhanced AI capabilities.
• Frontend and Backend Separation: Powered by TypeScript, Python, and JavaScript.

Technologies Used

• Frontend: TypeScript, Vite, JavaScript
• Backend: Python
• Google Gemini API: Provides AI functionalities

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js: Required to run the frontend.
• Python 3.x: Required to run the backend.
• Google Gemini API Key: You need to obtain an API key from Google.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/senulahesara/Apple-Calculator.git

2. Navigate to the frontend directory (calc-fe-main):

   cd Apple-Calculator/calc-fe-main

3. Install frontend dependencies:

   npm install

4. Create a .env.local file in the calc-fe-main directory and add the following:

   VITE_API_URL=http://localhost:8900

5. Navigate to the backend directory (calc-be-main):

   cd ../calc-be-main

6. Install backend dependencies (use virtual environment if needed):

   pip install -r requirements.txt

7. Create a .env file in the calc-be-main directory and add your Google Gemini API key:

   GEMINI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Running the Project Locally

1. Run the backend:

   python3 main.py

2. Run the frontend:

   cd ../calc-fe-main
   npm run dev

3. Open the application in your browser at http://localhost:3000.

Usage

• Draw shapes and input values for solving mathematical problems.
• For example, to find the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle, draw the triangle, input the lengths of the legs, and press the "Run" button.
• AI-powered features are available through integration with the Google Gemini API.

Environment Variables

• Backend (.env):

  GEMINI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
  

• Frontend (.env.local):

  VITE_API_URL=http://localhost:8900
  

Google Gemini API

You need to obtain an API key from the Google Gemini API and add it to your .env file in the backend.
