APIs Documentation and Usage

• API DOCUMENTATION
• Import Hotel_api.postman_collection.json collection in postman to run the APIs.

• Browse to root folder of app via terminal.
• Type node start to start the application.

Check ERROR logs

we are using winston module for error logging. Errors will be prinited on console and stored in a file name all_logs.log in logs folder. Errors are stored with timestamp and thier log level.

Developer Notes

• For scalability and to handle huge traffic we can use In Memory database like Redis.
• Here we are using Mysql RDBMS, for which we are using connection pooling technic, so that we can cache and resuse connections. Current pool size = 100.
• Folder Structure
  1. Controller - All Rest based controllers which get the request from routes and pass it to models.
  2. Models - All Models are related to each controller and they perfome database realted operations.
  3. Routes - Contains indes.js file which contains handles for all http request based on http methods.
  4. Services - All the services which can be used acrossed application are stored here eg : mysql, logger.
  5. Node_modules : Conatins 3rd party modules installed via npm.
  6. Test : Contains 'test.js' file which as above mentioned 3 test cases.
  7. Logs : Stores the logs files for future investigation.
  8. .env : Contains enviorment specific data and included in git ignore.
