# Use-case 0003 Implementation - Deposit virtual funds **Initiating actor:** Trader **Other actors:** — A logged-in Trader tops up their virtual cash balance in USD. This is a simulation-only operation: no real money changes hands, the amount is simply added to the Trader's `available_balance`. Every deposit is also recorded in the ledger (`transactions`) so that it appears in the transaction history ([UseCase0006](UseCase0006Implementation.md)). The operation writes to two tables — the user row and the ledger — inside a single database transaction, so either both changes are stored or neither is. Non-numeric, zero or negative amounts are rejected before the database is touched. Original use-case description (P3): [UseCase0003](../P3-UseCaseModel/UseCase0003.md). Implementation: [`server/account.go`](../../server/account.go), function `Deposit`; the verification uses `ShowBalance` from the same file. Precondition: the Trader is logged in ([UseCase0002](UseCase0002Implementation.md)); in the run below as `alice`, who starts from the seed state (available 8250.00 USD, invested 1750.00 USD). ## Scenario 1. **Trader** chooses `[2] Deposit virtual funds` in the authenticated menu (types `2`). 2. **System** prints `-- Deposit virtual funds --` and asks `Amount (USD):`. The screenshot shows steps 1–2: the login as alice, the authenticated menu, the choice `2` and the amount prompt waiting for input. ![UC0003 steps 1-2: Trader chooses Deposit, system asks for the amount](screenshots/uc0003_1_2_deposit.png) 3. **Trader** enters an amount: `500`. 4. **System** validates the input in Go, without accessing the database: the text must parse as a number (`strconv.ParseFloat`) and be greater than 0 (see alternate flow 4a). 5. **System** opens one database transaction (`db.DB.Begin()`), increments the balance, writes the ledger row and commits. Both statements run in this single transaction; if either fails, the deferred `tx.Rollback()` undoes everything. `BEGIN` and `COMMIT` are issued by Go's `Begin()` / `Commit()`; the two statements are sent exactly as in the code: ```sql BEGIN; UPDATE users SET available_balance = available_balance + $1, updated_at = now() WHERE id = $2; INSERT INTO transactions (user_id, type, amount, currency, description) VALUES ($1, 'deposit', $2, 'USD', 'Virtual deposit'); COMMIT; ``` Parameters: placeholders are numbered per statement. In the `UPDATE`, `$1` is the amount (`500`) and `$2` the user id (`amt, s.UserID`); in the `INSERT` it is the other way round, `$1` is the user id and `$2` the amount (`s.UserID, amt`), matching the column order. 6. **System** confirms `Deposited 500.0000 USD.` and returns to the authenticated menu. The screenshot shows steps 3–6: the entered amount `500`, the confirmation and the authenticated menu again. ![UC0003 steps 3-6: amount deposited](screenshots/uc0003_3_6_deposited.png) The statements run on the `project` schema (the connection sets `search_path=project,public`), so `users` and `transactions` mean `project.users` and `project.transactions`. ### Alternate flow 4a — invalid amount If the amount is not a number, or is zero or negative, the system prints `Invalid amount.`; no transaction is started and nothing is written. In the run the Trader first entered `-50`. In the prototype the system then shows the authenticated menu again and the Trader chooses `[2] Deposit virtual funds` once more, which returns the scenario to step 2. ![UC0003 alternate flow 4a: invalid amount](screenshots/uc0003_4a_invalid.png) ## Verification Right after the deposit the Trader chooses `[1] View balance` (function `ShowBalance`), which runs (`$1` = user id): ```sql SELECT available_balance, invested_balance FROM users WHERE id = $1 ``` It prints `Available: 8750.0000 USD`, `Invested : 1750.0000 USD`, `Total : 10500.0000 USD`. The available balance grew from the seed value 8250.00 by exactly the 500.00 deposited (the rejected `-50` changed nothing), and `invested_balance` is untouched. ![UC0003 verification: balance after the deposit](screenshots/uc0003_verify_balance.png) ## How to reproduce ```sh ./eduberza -init ./eduberza # [2] Login: alice / test123 # [2] Deposit virtual funds: -50 -> Invalid amount. # [2] Deposit virtual funds: 500 -> Deposited 500.0000 USD. # [1] View balance -> Available: 8750.0000 USD ``` All four screenshots come from one real run of exactly these inputs.
