Installment Payment Option Documentation

Overview

The Installment Payment Option module allows users to break down large fees into multiple scheduled payments over a period of time. This module provides an API endpoint, UI components, and data schemas to facilitate installment payments.

Code Samples

1. FastAPI Endpoint

from fastapi import APIRouter, Depends, HTTPException
from typing import List
from datetime import date, timedelta
from pydantic import BaseModel

router = APIRouter()

class InstallmentPlanRequest(BaseModel):
    fee_amount: float
    num_installments: int
    interval: int

class InstallmentPlanResponse(BaseModel):
    installments: List[dict]
    
@router.post("/calculate-installments")
async def calculate_installments(request_data: InstallmentPlanRequest):
    try:
        total_fee = request_data.fee_amount
        num_payments = request_data.num_installments
        interval_days = request_data.interval
        
        installment_schedule = []
        start_date = date.today()
        
        for i in range(num_payments):
            payment_amount = round(total_fee / num_payments, 2)
            due_date = start_date + timedelta(days=i * interval_days)
            installment_schedule.append({
                "amount": payment_amount,
                "due_date": due_date.isoformat(),
                "status": "pending"
            })
            
        return {"installments": installment_schedule}
    
    except Exception as e:
        raise HTTPException(status_code=500, detail=str(e))

2. React UI Snippet

import React, { useState } from 'react';

function InstallmentCalculator() {
    const [feeAmount, setFeeAmount] = useState('');
    const [numInstallments, setNumInstallments] = useState('');
);
const [interval, setInterval] = useState('');

const calculateInstallments = (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    if (!feeAmount || !numInstallments || !interval) return;

    const requestOptions = {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: {
            'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        },
        body: JSON.stringify({
            fee_amount: parseFloat(feeAmount),
            num_installments: parseInt(numInstallments),
            interval: parseInt(interval)
        })
    };

    fetch('/api/calculate-installments', requestOptions)
        .then(response => response.json())
        .then(data => {
            // Display installments
            console.log(data.installments);
        });
};

return (
    <div>
        <form onSubmit={calculateInstallments}>
            <label>Fee Amount:</label>
            <input 
                type="number" 
                value={feeAmount}
                onChange={(e) => setFeeAmount(e.target.value)}
            />
            <br/>
            
            <label>Number of Installments:</label>
            <input
                type="number"
                value={numInstallments}
                onChange={(e) => setNumInstallments(e.target.value)}
            />
            <br/>
            
            <label>Interval (days):</label>
            <input
                type="number"
                value={interval}
                onChange={(e) => setInterval(e.target.value)}
            />
            <br/>
            
            <button type="submit">Calculate Schedule</button>
        </form>

        {/* Display Installment Schedule */}
        <div id="installmentSchedule">
            {/* Results will be displayed here */} 
        </div>
    </div>
);
}

export default InstallmentCalculator;

3. Data Schema (Pydantic)

from pydantic import BaseModel
from typing import List, Optional

class InstallmentPlanRequest(BaseModel):
    fee_amount: float
    num_installments: int
    interval: int

class Installment(BaseModel):
    id: str
    amount: float
    due_date: date
    status: str
    paid_date: Optional[date] = None

class InstallmentPlanResponse(BaseModel):
    installments: List[Installment]

Explanation

  1. FastAPI Endpoint: The /calculate-installments endpoint accepts a request body with fee_amount, num_installments, and interval. It calculates the installment schedule and returns a list of payments with their respective due dates.

  2. React UI: The component provides inputs for fee amount, number of installments, and interval in days. When submitted, it sends a POST request to the FastAPI endpoint and displays the calculated installment schedule.

  3. Data Schema: Pydantic models define the structure for both requests and responses. InstallmentPlanRequest defines the input format, while InstallmentPlanResponse defines the output structure including each installment’s details.

This documentation provides a complete implementation of an installment payment system with API, UI, and data schemas.
