Inspiration
Most people have to book a flight that have no prior detail about their flight until they check. This application advise user before booking a flight like a guru
What it does
Provide a flight information base on option cheap or fast.
How we built it
We use MERN stack to build the application
Challenges we ran into
- 3rd party api: there is lack of free api that give use flight ticket offer
- cleaning: pulled data is overwhelm of information. we end up to use a dummy data to send output
- ui implementation: it is hard to check whether or not an error happen in the ui due to lack of information.
- consecutive read and write data to database: we have to create data model to cache the information we calculate from 3rd party data
- short time: there are many things we cannot connect the database, plugin the api to make frontend and backend work together
- packages: some packages require us to learn to make it compatible with our codebase
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Fun
- Build an full stack application
What we learned
- We learn how to debug the UI which is mostly happen in the DOM
- Do consecutive query
- Implement algorithm
- Styling UI with scss and learn react framework
What's next for Air Wise Guru
- conjoin all features to make a complete application
- need funding to get necessary api
- machine learning for better advise by training with decent data
