Test Dev Asksuite

Hey! Glad you're here. I'm going to explain exactly what you'll have to implement in this test and what we expect as outcome.

First of all, we have this nice express.js boilerplate project to assist you so you don't have to create everything from scratch.

Briefing

The traveller comes to our bot and asks for "Price quotation". Then the bot asks for the dates the traveller wants to stay at the bot's hotel. At the moment the traveller fills the requested information the bot needs to search the prices for each room available in the check-in/check-out timeframe.

You will have to implement the API responsible for doing the searching part. The necessary information for the crawler is under the Assets session

What you'll need to do:

• Create a POST endpoint "/search"

  • The expected payload is:

      {
          "checkin": "YYYY-MM-DD", // Check-in date
          "checkout": "YYYY-MM-DD" // Check-out date
      }
      

    Example

      {
          "checkin": "2021-07-01", 
          "checkout": "2021-07-03"
      }
      

  • The expected result is an array of rooms:

      [{
          "name": string, // Room name
          "description": string,  // Room description
          "price": string, // Room daily price
          "image": string, // Room main photo
      }]
      

    Example

      [{
          "name": "Standard Room",
          "description": "Ideal for relaxing. The rooms...", 
          "price": "R$ 715,00",
          "image": "https://myreservations.omnibees.com/Handlers/ImageLoader.ashx?sz=250x166&imageID=189952.jpg",
      },
      {
          "name": "Master",
          "description": "There are 6 luxurious rooms...", 
          "price": "R$ 1.115,30",
          "image": "https://myreservations.omnibees.com/Handlers/ImageLoader.ashx?sz=250x166&imageID=192355.jpg",
      }]
      

To achieve this result you may:

• With puppeteer, go to the given URL
• Retrieve the needed information to assemble the payload using web crawling methods

Environment

• Node 10+
• Dotenv setup

Feel free to add any lib you find relevant to your test.

Running

• Install dependencies with: npm install
• Run as dev: npm run dev

Default port is set to 8080

Assets

• Crawl URL sample (change dates):
