Example

Usage of Object-Oriented Principles

The use of classes and objects facilitates:

• Code Reusability: Stakeholder and task details can be reused for multiple invoices.
• Maintainability: Changes to the invoice structure can be easily accommodated without extensive modifications

Code Structure

The codebase is organized into modular components:

• main.py: Entry point of the application where stakeholders and tasks are defined.
• report.py: Contains the PdfReport class responsible for generating the PDF invoice.
• models.py: Defines classes for stakeholders (Payer and Payee), tasks (Task), and bills (Bill).

Future Enhancements

Future development may include:

• User Interface: Adding a graphical user interface (GUI) for a more user-friendly experience.
• Database Integration: Storing and retrieving invoice data from a database.
