Tiki

Tiki is a simple C# ticket support system built using a Text-Based User Interface (TUI) with Spectre.Console. It supports basic ticket operations like creating, viewing, updating, and deleting tickets, with data persisted to a JSON file.

Prerequisites

• .NET SDK (version 7.0 or later recommended)

Project Structure

• Tiki.App: Contains the main application code.
• Tiki.Tests: Contains the unit tests for the application.

Building the Application

Open a terminal in the root directory of the solution and run:

dotnet build

This command builds both the application and the test projects.

Running the Application

You can run the application in two ways:

Option 1: From the Tiki.App Folder

• Navigate to the Tiki.App folder:

cd Tiki.App
dotnet run

Option 2: From the Solution Root

• Run the application by specifying the project file:

dotnet run --project Tiki.App/Tiki.App.csproj

Running the Tests

To run the unit tests, execute the following command from the root of the solution:

dotnet test

This command will build and run all tests found in the Tiki.Tests project.

Data Persistence

The application uses TicketDataService to save ticket data to a tickets.json file when the application exits and load the data on startup. Ensure you have write permissions in the directory where you're running the application.
