FlightApp

Overview

This app is a tool to find flight offers between 2 different airports using the Amadeus API. The app is composed of 2 separate parts, the frontend that uses react and the backend that is made with spring boot. Both of this apps are containerized using docker.

Technologies used

Frontend

• Java
• Spring boot
• Gradle
• swagger-codegen

Backend

• React
• Typescript
• Material UI
• Tailwind CSS

Getting started

This app uses the Amadeus API, so first you need to make an account here in order to create a test application so you can make API calls.

You can see more of this proccess here.

When you have your API key and your API secret you need to create an application.properties file in the backend project.

This file goes in the following path:

/src/main/resources/application.properties

And you need to add the following information:

spring.application.name=flightapp

api.credential.id=<api id>

api.credential.secret=<api secret>

spring.jackson,serialization.write-dates-as-timestamps=false

Then to run the app you need the following requirements:

• docker
• docker-compose

When you have installed the requirements you can run the following command from the main folder of the repo:

docker compose up --build

This will start the containers for the backend and frontend.

Usage

While the conainers are running you can access the app here:

• Frontend: localhost:3000
• Backend: localhost:8080

Known Issues

• Amadeus API: Since Amadeus doesn't have the names of every airport sometimes only the IATA code will be shown.
• Docker: Sometimes when running docker an error may occurr when calling the API
