Booking Challenge

Background

Spill works with a lot of counsellors and users. Users can book sessions based on a variety of criteria.

A subset of the factors that come into play are: availability, appointment type, appointment medium (phone/video). You will only need to concentrate on these factors for the challenge.

The Challenge

Build a Node.js API with multiple endpoints.

  • GET endpoint that given date_range, appointment_type and appointment_medium returns a selection of available appointment times.
  • POST endpoint that counsellors can use to add their availability. It should accept multiple dates and times.

We have provided a json file with data.

Things to consider:

  • schema structure
  • edge cases
  • testing
  • naming/readability
  • file structure

Requirements

  • duplicate this repo (do not fork it) please do not name your repo Spill Coding Challenge or anything similar - we don't want future applicants copying your code
  • create the API using Node.js according to the above specifications
  • you need to store the data.json file in a database
  • you do not need to host the API
  • write max 300 words in a markdown file in your repo on why you made the technical decisions you did
  • include instructions on how to run it locally including the database
  • send us a link to the repo (if the repo is private we will tell you who to add as a collaborator)
