The Black Scholes Merton Calculator

This project launches a nice little web application that allows users to calculate European option prices using the Black Scholes Merton Differential Equation. This repository has the entire full stack encapsulated within it, with each part of the stack divided amongst the two directories /client and /server.

This application is still in continuous development as it's intended to display my growth in application development as well as financial engineering. As such, any thoughts, suggestions, and issues are always appreciated.

This application will be a component of a larger set of financial engineering and machine learning tools I'm in the works of developing.

Instructions

Use Docker (Easy)

Don't want to install everything? No worries, I've created a docker-compose.yaml which will build a multi-container web application for you using the Docker images of the /client and /server source code I've published to Docker Hub already.

To quickly get started, please ensure you have Docker installed on your machine and clone this repo containing the docker-compose.yaml file. Once cloned, simply run in your terminal:

docker-compose up

You should see it pull two Docker images for the frontend and backend of the application and expose both endpoints.

Congratulations! You can now go to http://localhost:4200 to interact with the web application, or go to http://localhost:8080 to interact with the server and the API.

Want to pull the Docker images for the frontend and backend separately?

Frontend

docker pull shauryachandhoke/black-scholes-merton-calculator-frontend:v1

Backend

docker pull shauryachandhoke/black-scholes-merton-calculator-backend:v1

Want To Customize The Image?

I've included the Dockerfiles for the frontend and backend inside this repo! Simply make your changes and when you're done, modify the docker-compose.yaml file to the following:

version: "3"

services:
  frontend:
    image: black-scholes-merton-calculator-frontend:latest
    working_dir: /code
    build:
      context: client
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    ports:
      - "4200:4200"
    depends_on:
      - backend
    volumes:
      - ${PWD}/client/:/code
      - /code/node_modules

  backend:
    image: black-scholes-merton-calculator-backend:latest
    working_dir: /code
    build:
      context: server
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"

Then when running docker-compose up, Docker will create images for the frontend and backend using your local changes instead of pulling from Docker Hub.

Build Locally

Instructions for setting up the web application locally can be found in the README in the /server and /client directories
