iiko Display-Board POS Plugin (C#)

iiko POS plugins (.NET/C#) on Resto.Front.Api: a set of sample plugins + a custom CustomWebserver that embeds a web server inside iikoFront to serve order data to an external "Tablo" (display board) and SalesPlan. The user's contribution — systems-level features of the webserver plugin (Windows Job Objects, child-process lifecycle, cashier audit logs).

Overview

  • What it is: A repository of iiko POS plugins on Resto.Front.Api (.NET/C#/WPF): official sample plugins (CustomerScreen, CashRegister, Payment, Scale, SamplePlugin) + a custom CustomWebserver — a plugin that embeds an HTTP server into iikoFront and launches external "OrderTablo" (order display board for client/kitchen) and "SalesPlan" windows. "Tablo" = display board.
  • Type / status / role: other (desktop POS plugin, Windows/.NET) · active · contributor — the user has 3 commits (systems features), main author is Shahzod (13).
  • Activity period: 2026-03-17 → 2026-05-05 (~1.5 months), 16 commits.
§02

Stack

  • C#/.NET + iiko Resto.Front.Api (iikoFront plugin architecture), WPF (CustomerScreenWindow.xaml, resources/localization for ~20 languages), VS solution (Resto.Front.Api.Samples.VS15.sln).
  • Projects: CustomerScreenPlugin (WPF customer screen + order ViewModel), SampleCashRegisterPlugin, SamplePaymentPlugin, SampleScalePlugin, SamplePlugin/CustomWebserver (custom build — where the user contributed).
  • Connection: part of the iiko-integration ecosystem (cf. Resto.Front.Api.CustomWebServer — task #3; salesplan — #61).
§03

Technical challenges

Confirmed by diffs of the user's commits:

  • Child-process lifecycle via Windows Job Object (ChildProcessTracker.cs): the classic Win32 problem of "orphaned processes when the parent crashes" solved by assigning child windows (OrderTablo/SalesPlan) to a Job Object with the kill-on-close flag. → real systems-level Windows programming, not CRUD.
  • Embedded webserver in a POS plugin (CustomWebserver.cs): the iikoFront plugin hosts an HTTP server to serve order data to external displays. → integration into a foreign closed-source POS runtime.
  • Proper resource cleanup (dispose pattern + state dump to a file): the plugin closes spawned windows and dumps orders to disk on unload. → care for plugin reliability inside the host process.
  • Cashier audit (RuntimeIdentityLogger): logging operator identity. → retail-compliance requirements.

AI-assisted development

  • Sessions found: 1. The repo has .claude/settings.local.json.
  • What was done with AI: likely C# plugin development/debugging with Claude Code (not sampled in detail).
  • AI-workflow patterns: AI-assisted .NET development.
§05

Achievements & metrics

  • Systems features of an iiko plugin: Job Object lifecycle, embedded webserver, audit logs, order dump.
  • WPF customer screen with ~20-language localization (sample heritage).
  • C#/.NET + Win32 systems programming in a production POS.
