Travix - Problem to be solved
Background:
BusyFlights is a flights search solution which aggregates flight results initially from 2 different suppliers (CrazyAir and ToughJet). A future iteration (not part of the test) may add more suppliers.
Recommended duration of test:
Allocate no more than 90 minutes to complete this exercise. An incomplete solution is acceptable but documenting any remaining tasks and next steps is expected.
What is required:
Use this GitHub repository as a base to implement the Busy Flights service that should produce an aggregated result from both CrazyAir and ToughJet. The result should be a JSON response which contains a list of flights ordered by fare which has the following attributes:
Busy Flights API
Request
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| origin | 3 letter IATA code(eg. LHR, AMS) |
| destination | 3 letter IATA code(eg. LHR, AMS) |
| departureDate | ISO_LOCAL_DATE format |
| returnDate | ISO_LOCAL_DATE format |
| numberOfPassengers | Maximum 4 passengers |
Response
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| airline | Name of Airline |
| supplier | Eg: CrazyAir or ToughJet |
| fare | Total price rounded to 2 decimals |
| departureAirportCode | 3 letter IATA code(eg. LHR, AMS) |
| destinationAirportCode | 3 letter IATA code(eg. LHR, AMS) |
| departureDate | ISO_DATE_TIME format |
| arrivalDate | ISO_DATE_TIME format |
The service should connect to the both the suppliers using HTTP.
CrazyAir API
Request
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| origin | 3 letter IATA code(eg. LHR, AMS) |

What you need to provide:
- A solution that meets the above requirements.
- The implementation should be made as close to 'production ready' as possible within the time constraints.
It is fine to change any of the supplied application code, if you choose to do so please add comments to indicate what has changed and why.
Note
Please clone this project then create your own repository from it. Do not fork/branch this project when creating your solution as it will be visible to other applicants.
Solution: Added a flexible and scalable solution to the problem. Adding new Suppliers would require to only add their service.
Added Dummy Data Service for ToughJet and CrazyAir suppliers.
Added Unit Test for testing major functionalities.
Implementation took around 2 hours . Then spent some time on refactoring code.
