alirezabonab/via-play-trailer-finder

Main functionality of the application is to get a ViaPlay movie URL and return the Youtube trailers.

This is a Typescript/Nodejs/Express app.

This project is based on MVC pattern.

There are some modules used in this project, important ones are :

• request-promise
• ramda (functional programming)
• jest
• express
• nodemon

The file structure is like blew 

+ src 
    + common ( usually for helper modules) 
    + controller 
    + config 
    + routes 
    + services (act as models in this sample) 

To write cleanner code and increase performance the async/await pattern is used so for setting up express middle-ware to be true async/await supporter there is a helper function (awaitHandlerFactory) which accepts a RequestHandler and returns a async/await middle-ware. We need to catch async RequestHandler's exceptions in order to prevent hang on requests so this awaitHandlerFactory help to catch the exception and call next() function.

All controllers return and RequestHandler and route modules have this duty to convert those RequestHadnlers using awaitHandlerFactory.

The main functionality of the app is to accept a ViaPlay movie URL and return list of trailers.

There is an http POST endpoint /api/v1/trailer which accepts movie_url in body and return array of trailers.

http://localhost:3000/api/v1/trailer
Method: POST
Body:
{ 
"movie_url" : "https://content.viaplay.se/pc-se/film/50-first-dates-2004"
}

and the result would look like below

{
    result : [
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErjP5xMTc8I",
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi1uewVWxos"
    ]
}
