Flight API Logger

A Node.js application for logging flight API data, built with Express, MongoDB, and Mongoose. The app provides endpoints to store and manage flight API logs with validation using Joi.

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v16 or higher)
• MongoDB (running locally or accessible via a connection string)
• Docker and Docker Compose (if running with Docker)
• npm (Node Package Manager)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/rashid-mamun/St-logger
   cd flight-api-logger

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Create a .env file in the root directory and configure the required environment variables (see Environment Variables).

Running Locally

1. Ensure MongoDB is running locally or provide a valid MongoDB connection string in the .env file.

2. Start the application:

   npm start

   For development with auto-restart:

   npm run start-dev

3. The app will be available at http://localhost:5000.

Running with Docker

You can run the application using either a single Docker container or Docker Compose (recommended for running both the app and MongoDB together).

Option 1: Single Docker Container

1. Build the Docker image:

   docker build -t flight-api-logger .

2. Run the container, ensuring MongoDB is accessible (e.g., running locally or in another container):

   docker run -p 5000:5000 --env-file .env flight-api-logger

3. The app will be available at http://localhost:5000.

Option 2: Docker Compose (App + MongoDB)

1. Ensure Docker Compose is installed.

2. Start the app and MongoDB containers:

   docker-compose up --build

3. The app will be available at http://localhost:5000, and MongoDB will be accessible at localhost:27017 (if needed).

4. To stop the containers:

   docker-compose down

   To stop and remove volumes (clear MongoDB data):

   docker-compose down -v

Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the root directory with the following variables:

PORT=5000
MONGODB_URI=mongodb://localhost/fpa-logger

• PORT: The port the application runs on (default: 5000).
• MONGODB_URI: The MongoDB connection string (used for local runs; overridden in Docker Compose).

API Endpoints

• GET /: Displays a welcome message ("App Online, 2023!").
• POST /flight-api-logger: Logs flight API data. Requires a JSON body with fields like provider and expiry.
• GET /api: Returns a success message for testing.

Example POST request to /flight-api-logger:

{
  "provider": "SABRE",
  "expiry": "TEMPORARY",
  "searchId": "12345",
  "message": "Sample log",
  "executionTime": "100ms",
  "request": "Sample request",
  "response": "Sample response",
  "type": "INFO"
}
