GiveMeAnHotel.com Adapter

This is the submission for the Arise backend challenge.

Get availabilities

Filter by hotel id, country

Workflow

1. Test the get availabilities request with Altair - 15min

I read the challenge instructions and discovered the Arise API.

2. Add the request into http handler - 45min

I decided to install a graphQL client to abstract the requests. I went with apollo-client. It might not the best choice because it's designed to work first with React. We should probaly use a lighter client or create our own wrapper.

I created a dummy request to test the client integration and get the full data pipeline working.

3. Improve the request handling by adding parameters - 30min

I updated the code to take real parameters into account.

4. Add Booking request - 30min

I then added the booking request, by testing it first with Altair before adding the route and the handler.

I had to update openapi definition to add check-in and check-out dates. Use ids as partner ref hotel and room.

5. Check input and handle errors - 45min

I added custom middlewares to check inputs with Joi library.

6. Add TypeScript definitions - Work In Progress - 30 min

I downloaded the SDL from Altair and converted it to TypeScript with an online tool. I then integrated the created types into the app and added the types to the variables.

7. Handle advanced errors - To Do

Non existant hotel or room id
Non matching price
Network error
