hotel-search-api

Hotel search api sample implementation for https://gist.github.com/melvrickgoh/d7113d7c14ef3a41793082200f94475f

Getting Started

Clone this repository on your local system

git clone https://github.com/sanoyphilippe/hotel-search-api.git

Prerequisites

You must have npm and nodejs installed on your local system. See https://nodejs.org for installation instructions

Installing

A step by step series of examples that tell you how to get a development env running.

First we need to install the node_modules. So change to the directory created in your system, after cloning this repository.

cd hotel-search-api
npm install

Config

Next we need to configure the config file. The config file is /config.json It contains the following default values.

{
    "SUPPLIER_RES": [
        "https://api.myjson.com/bins/2tlb8",
        "https://api.myjson.com/bins/42lok",
        "https://api.myjson.com/bins/15ktg"
    ],
    "PORT": 3000
}

SUPPLIER_RES defines the urls for our supplier data

PORT is simply the port in which the app will run on your system.

If you wish to add more suppliers simply add new url entries into the SUPPLIER_RES

Running the app

Now after doing all of the above, simply run the command

node index.js

If you're running the app on your local system and you just used the default values, open up your web browser and go to the following url http://localhost:3000/hotels This will by default show you all the hotels with the lowest prices from all the suppliers

If you wish to search from specific suppliers only then you could try http://localhost:3000/hotels?suppliers=supplier3,supplier2 so this would give you results from suppliers 2 and 3 only (suppliers 2 and 3 come from the 2nd and 3rd url entries you've placed for SUPPLIER_RES)
