Add Python web scraper for NJC travel rates with currency extraction
- Implemented Python scraper using BeautifulSoup and pandas to automatically collect travel rates from official NJC website - Added currency extraction from table titles (supports EUR, USD, AUD, CAD, ARS, etc.) - Added country extraction from table titles for international rates - Flatten pandas MultiIndex columns for cleaner data structure - Default to CAD for domestic Canadian sources (accommodations and domestic tables) - Created SQLite database schema (raw_tables, rate_entries, exchange_rates, accommodations) - Successfully scraped 92 tables with 17,205 rate entries covering 25 international cities - Added migration script to convert scraped data to Node.js database format - Updated .gitignore for Python files (.venv/, __pycache__, *.pyc, *.sqlite3) - Fixed city validation and currency conversion in main app - Added comprehensive debug and verification scripts This replaces manual JSON maintenance with automated data collection from official government source.

|
||||
|
||||
## 🔧 Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Error: "Amadeus API credentials not configured"
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:** Add your API key and secret to the `.env` file
|
||||
|
||||
### Error: "Could not find airport codes"
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:** The city name needs to match one in the database. Try:
|
||||
- "Ottawa" instead of "Ottawa, ON"
|
||||
- "New York" instead of "NYC"
|
||||
- "Vancouver" instead of "Vancouver, BC"
|
||||
|
||||
### Error: "No flights found for this route"
|
||||
|
||||
**Possible causes:**
|
||||
- Date is too far in the future (try within 11 months)
|
||||
- Route not available (small airports may not have data)
|
||||
- Try searching on Google Flights manually
|
||||
|
||||
### API Rate Limits
|
||||
|
||||
Free tier: **2,000 calls/month**
|
||||
- Each search = 1 API call
|
||||
- ~66 searches per day
|
||||
- Perfect for small teams
|
||||
|
||||
If you exceed limits, you'll get an error. Wait until next month or upgrade to paid tier.
|

|
||||
|
||||
## 💡 API Limits & Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### Free Tier Limits
|
||||
- ✅ 2,000 API calls/month
|
||||
- ✅ Test & development use
|
||||
- ✅ No credit card required
|
||||
|
||||
### Tips to Save API Calls
|
||||
1. Only search when dates are finalized
|
||||
2. Use manual Google Flights link for rough estimates
|
||||
3. Share results with colleagues instead of re-searching
|
||||
4. Consider caching common routes
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔐 Security Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ `.env` file is in `.gitignore` (won't be committed)
|
||||
- ✅ Never share your API credentials
|
||||
- ✅ API keys are server-side only
|
||||
- ✅ Not exposed to browser/frontend
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 📊 What Gets Calculated
|
||||
|
||||
For each flight search, you get:
|
||||
- **Price** in CAD
|
||||
- **Duration** in hours (for business class rules)
|
||||
- **Number of stops** (direct vs. connections)
|
||||
- **Business class eligibility** (≥9 hours)
|
||||
- **Carrier** information
|
||||
- **Departure/arrival times**

|
||||
## ⚙️ Alternative: Manual Entry
|
||||
|
||||
Don't want to set up the API? **No problem!**
|
||||
|
||||
The app still has the Google Flights integration:
|
||||
1. Click the Google Flights link
|
||||
2. Copy the price
|
||||
3. Paste into the form
|
||||
4. Enter duration manually
|
||||
|
||||
Takes about 30 seconds per search.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🧪 Sample Flights (No API)
|
||||
|
||||
When the Amadeus credentials are not configured (for example in a fresh Docker build or when you want to keep the app self-hosted without API keys), the backend returns curated sample flights from `data/sampleFlights.json`. You can still click *Search Flights Automatically*, review the mock options, and select one to populate the form. The status banner will mention that these are placeholder flights, so you know when to add real credentials and get live pricing.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🆘 Getting Help
|
||||
|
||||
### API Issues
|
||||
Contact Amadeus Support: https://developers.amadeus.com/support
|
||||
|
||||
### App Issues
|
||||
Check the server console for error messages
|
||||
|
||||
### Still Stuck?
|
||||
The app works fine without the API - use manual Google Flights links instead.

# Govt Travel App - Code Analysis Report
|

**Date**: 2025-10-31 14:58:21
|
||||
**Files Analyzed**: 4
|
||||
|

---
|
||||
|
||||
## flightService.js
|
||||
|
||||
**Quality Score: 6/10**
|
||||
|
||||
**Strengths:**
|
||||
- The code is well-structured and follows a clear logic flow.
|
||||
- It includes error handling for Amadeus client initialization and API requests.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## script.js
|
||||
|
||||
**Quality Score: 7/10**
|
||||
|
||||
**Strengths:**
|
||||
- The code is well-structured and easy to follow, with clear separation of concerns between database loading, metadata display update, and rate validation.
|
||||
- The use of async/await for database fetching is a good practice.
|
||||
|
||||
**Issues:**
|
||||
- The global variables `perDiemRatesDB`, `accommodationRatesDB`, and `transportationRatesDB` are not initialized with a default value. If the code is executed before the databases are loaded, these variables will be `null` or `undefined`.
|
||||
- The database loading function `loadDatabases()` does not handle cases where some of the databases fail to load while others succeed.
|
||||
- The `validateRatesAndShowWarnings()` function modifies the `warnings` array in place. If this function is called multiple times with the same input, the warnings will be overwritten.
|
||||
|
||||
**Improvements:**
|
||||
- Initialize global variables with default values: Instead of letting them remain `null` or `undefined`, consider initializing them with an empty object `{}` or a default value that indicates no data is available.
|
||||
- Handle partial database loading failures: Consider adding a check to see if all databases have loaded successfully before proceeding. If some fail, display an error message and prevent further execution.
|
||||
- Refactor `validateRatesAndShowWarnings()` to return the warnings array instead of modifying it in place. This will make the function more predictable and easier to use.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## server.js
|
||||
|
||||
**Quality Score: 7/10**
|
||||
|
||||
**Strengths:**
|
||||
- The code is well-organized and uses a consistent naming convention.
|
||||
- It includes environment variable loading using dotenv, which is a good practice.
|
||||
- The API endpoints are clearly defined with route handlers for each path.
|
||||
|
||||
**Issues:**
|
||||
- There is no error handling for missing or invalid environment variables. If AMADEUS_API_KEY or AMADEUS_API_SECRET is not set, the server will crash.
|
||||
- The `getAirportCode` function from the `flightService` module is called without any input validation. This could lead to unexpected behavior if the function is not designed to handle null or undefined inputs.
|
||||
- There are no checks for potential errors when reading files using `path.join(__dirname, 'index.html')`, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
**Improvements:**
|
||||
- Consider adding a check for missing or invalid environment variables and provide a more informative error message instead of crashing the server.
|
||||
- Validate input parameters for the `/api/flights/search` endpoint to prevent unexpected behavior. For example, you can use a library like `joi` to validate query parameters.
|
||||
- Use a more robust way to handle errors in route handlers, such as using `res.status(500).send({ error: 'Internal Server Error' })` instead of logging the error message.
|
||||
- Consider adding API documentation using tools like Swagger or OpenAPI.
|
||||
|
||||
**Security Concerns:**
|
||||
- The code does not have any obvious security concerns. However, it is essential to ensure that environment variables are not committed to version control and that sensitive data (e.g., API keys) are handled securely.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## styles.css
|
||||
|
||||
**Quality Score: 8/10**
|
||||
|
||||
**Strengths:**
|
||||
- Well-structured CSS with clear and consistent naming conventions.
|
||||
- Effective use of variables for color scheme and layout properties.
|
||||
- Good practice in using `display: block` and `margin-bottom` to create vertical spacing.
|
||||
|
||||
**Issues:**
|
||||
- The file is quite large, making it difficult to navigate and maintain. Consider breaking it down into smaller modules or partials.
|
||||
- There are several hard-coded values throughout the code (e.g., font sizes, padding, margins). Consider introducing constants or variables to make these values more flexible and easily updateable.
|
||||
- The `box-shadow` property is used multiple times with different values. Create a variable for this value to reduce repetition.
|
||||
|
||||
**Improvements:**
|
||||
- Consider using a CSS preprocessor like Sass or Less to simplify the code and enable features like nesting, mixins, and variables.
|
||||
- Use more semantic class names instead of generic ones (e.g., `.form-section` could be `.contact-form`).
|
||||
- Add comments to explain the purpose and behavior of each section or module.
|
||||
- Consider using CSS grid or flexbox for layout instead of relying on floats or inline-block.
|
||||
- Update the code to follow modern CSS best practices, such as using `rem` units for font sizes and margins.

|
||||
### Per Diem Calculations
|
||||
```
|
||||
dailyMealTotal = breakfast.rate100 + lunch.rate100 + dinner.rate100
|
||||
dailyTotal = dailyMealTotal + incidentals.rate100
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Extended Stay
|
||||
- Days 1-30: Use rate100 values
|
||||
- Days 31-120: Use rate75 for meals, rate75 for incidentals
|
||||
- Days 121+: Use rate50 for meals, rate75 for incidentals
|
||||
|
||||
### Accommodation
|
||||
- If private accommodation: Use privateAccommodation rates
|
||||
- If hotel: Use estimated cost or database suggestions
|
||||
- Compare to maxRate for validation
|
||||
|
||||
## 📊 Data Types
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Type | Format | Required |
|
||||
|-------|------|--------|----------|
|
||||
| effectiveDate | string | YYYY-MM-DD | Yes |
|
||||
| version | string | X.X | Yes |
|
||||
| lastUpdated | string | YYYY-MM-DD | Yes |
|
||||

| notes | string | Free text | No |
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔍 Lookup Logic
|
||||
|
||||
### Per Diem Lookup
|
||||
1. Get `destinationType` from user input
|
||||
2. Look up `perDiemRatesDB.regions[destinationType]`
|
||||
3. Extract meal and incidental rates
|
||||
4. Calculate based on number of days
|
||||
|
||||
### Accommodation Lookup
|
||||
1. Get `destinationCity` (normalized to lowercase, no spaces)
|
||||
2. Try: `accommodationRatesDB.cities[cityKey]`
|
||||
3. If not found, try: `accommodationRatesDB.internationalCities[cityKey]`
|
||||
4. If not found, use: `accommodationRatesDB.defaults[regionType]`
|
||||
|
||||
## ✅ Validation Rules
|
||||
|
||||
### Per Diem Rates
|
||||
- All rates must be > 0

# Database Update Guide
|
||||
|
||||
This guide explains how to update the per diem and accommodation rate databases when new rates are published by the National Joint Council or other government sources.
|
||||
|
||||
## 📁 Database Files
|
||||
|
||||
The application uses two JSON database files located in the `data/` directory:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **`perDiemRates.json`** - Meal allowances, incidental expenses, and private accommodation rates
|
||||
2. **`accommodationRates.json`** - Hotel and commercial accommodation rates by city
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔄 When to Update
|
||||
|
||||
Update the databases when:
|
||||
- NJC publishes new travel directive rates (typically annually)
|
||||
- Accommodation rates change in the government directory
|
||||
- New cities or regions are added to coverage
|
||||
- Currency exchange rates significantly change
|
||||
|
||||
## 📋 How to Update Per Diem Rates
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Check Official Sources
|
||||
Visit these official sources for current rates:
|
||||
- [NJC Appendix C - Canada & USA Rates](https://www.njc-cnm.gc.ca/directive/travel-voyage/td-dv-a3-eng.php)
|
||||
- [NJC Appendix D - International Rates](https://www.njc-cnm.gc.ca/directive/app_d.php?lang=en)
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Update `perDiemRates.json`
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open `data/perDiemRates.json` in a text editor
|
||||
2. Update the **metadata** section:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
"metadata": {
|
||||
"effectiveDate": "YYYY-MM-DD",
|
||||
"version": "X.X",
|
||||
"lastUpdated": "YYYY-MM-DD"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Update rates for each region. Example for Canada:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
"canada": {
|
||||
"name": "Canada (Provinces)",
|
||||
"currency": "CAD",
|
||||
"meals": {
|
||||
"breakfast": {
|
||||
"rate100": 29.05, // Update this value
|
||||
"rate75": 21.80, // 75% of rate100
|
||||
"rate50": 14.55 // 50% of rate100
|
||||
},
|
||||
"lunch": {
|
||||
"rate100": 29.60,
|
||||
"rate75": 22.20,
|
||||
"rate50": 14.80
|
||||
},
|
||||
"dinner": {
|
||||
"rate100": 60.75,
|
||||
"rate75": 45.55,
|
||||
"rate50": 30.40
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
"incidentals": {
|
||||
"rate100": 17.30,
|
||||
"rate75": 13.00
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Calculate derived rates**:
|
||||
- `rate75` = `rate100` × 0.75
|
||||
- `rate50` = `rate100` × 0.50
|
||||
- Update `total` rates as sum of breakfast + lunch + dinner
|
||||
|
||||
5. Repeat for all regions: `canada`, `yukon`, `nwt`, `nunavut`, `usa`, `alaska`, `international`
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Validate JSON Format
|
||||
|
||||
Before saving, validate your JSON:
|
||||
- Use an online JSON validator (e.g., jsonlint.com)
|
||||
- Ensure all brackets, braces, and commas are correct
|
||||
- Check that numbers don't have quotes around them
|
||||
|
||||
## 🏨 How to Update Accommodation Rates
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Check Official Sources
|
||||
Visit:
|
||||
- [Government Accommodation Directory](https://rehelv-acrd.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/lth-crl-eng.aspx)
|
||||
- Select specific cities to see current rates
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Update `accommodationRates.json`
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open `data/accommodationRates.json` in a text editor
|
||||
2. Update the **metadata** section with new date and version
|
||||
|
||||
3. Update or add city rates:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
"cityname": {
|
||||
"name": "City Name, Province",
|
||||
"province": "Province/State",
|
||||
"region": "canada",
|
||||
"standardRate": 150.00, // Update this
|
||||
"maxRate": 185.00, // Update this
|
||||
"currency": "CAD",
|
||||
"notes": "Any special notes"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Key guidelines**:
|
||||
- City keys should be lowercase, no spaces (e.g., "newyork", "losangeles")
|
||||
- `standardRate` = typical government-approved rate
|
||||
- `maxRate` = maximum without special authorization
|
||||
- Include `currency` (CAD or USD)
|
||||
|
||||
5. Update **defaults** section for regional averages:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
"defaults": {
|
||||
"canada": {
|
||||
"standardRate": 150.00,
|
||||
"maxRate": 185.00,
|
||||
"currency": "CAD"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Add New Cities
|
||||
|
||||
To add a new city:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
"citykey": {
|
||||
"name": "Full City Name, Province/State",
|
||||
"province": "Province or State",
|
||||
"region": "canada|usa|yukon|nwt|nunavut|alaska|international",
|
||||
"standardRate": 0.00,
|
||||
"maxRate": 0.00,
|
||||
"currency": "CAD|USD",
|
||||
"notes": "Optional notes about the city"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## ✅ Testing After Updates
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Save both JSON files**
|
||||
2. **Refresh the web application** in your browser
|
||||
3. **Test with different destinations**:
|
||||
- Select each destination type
|
||||
- Verify meal rates are correct
|
||||
- Check accommodation suggestions
|
||||
4. **Verify the footer** shows updated effective date
|
||||
5. **Check browser console** (F12) for any errors
|
||||
|
||||
## 🌍 International Rates
|
||||
|
||||
International rates are more complex as they vary by country. For international updates:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Consult [NJC Appendix D](https://www.njc-cnm.gc.ca/directive/app_d.php?lang=en)
|
||||
2. Rates may be in local currency or CAD
|
||||
3. Add new countries to `internationalCities` section
|
||||
4. Include currency conversion notes
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
"citykey": {
|
||||
"name": "City Name, Country",
|
||||
"country": "Country Name",
|
||||
"region": "international",
|
||||
"standardRate": 200.00,
|
||||
"maxRate": 300.00,
|
||||
"currency": "CAD",
|
||||
"notes": "Convert from EUR/GBP/etc. High cost city."
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 📊 Rate Tiers (Extended Stay)
|
||||
|
||||
The application currently uses 100% rates. For extended stays (31+ days, 121+ days), the database includes reduced rates:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Days 1-30**: Use `rate100` (100% of allowance)
|
||||
- **Days 31-120**: Use `rate75` (75% of meal allowance)
|
||||
- **Days 121+**: Use `rate50` (50% of meal allowance, 75% incidentals)
|
||||
|
||||
*Note: Extended stay logic can be implemented in future versions.*
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔒 Data Integrity Checklist

### Per Diem Lookup
|
||||
```
|
||||
User selects destination type: "canada"
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Look up: perDiemRatesDB.regions["canada"]
|
||||
↓
|
||||

|
||||
├── Breakfast: $29.05
|
||||
├── Lunch: $29.60
|
||||
├── Dinner: $60.75
|
||||
└── Incidental: $17.30
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Calculate: Daily Total = $136.70
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Accommodation Lookup
|
||||
```
|
||||
User enters city: "Toronto"
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Normalize: "toronto" (lowercase)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Check: accommodationRatesDB.cities["toronto"]
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Found! Return:
|
||||
├── Standard Rate: $180
|
||||

|

|

## 💰 Cost Calculation Formula
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Total Travel Cost = Flight + Accommodation + Meals + Incidentals
|
||||
|
||||
Where:
|
||||
├── Flight = Base Cost × Business Class Multiplier (if ≥9 hours)
|
||||
├── Accommodation = Per Night Rate × Number of Nights
|
||||
├── Meals = (Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner) × Number of Days
|
||||
└── Incidentals = Daily Rate × Number of Days
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
├── Flight: $650 × 2.5 = $1,625 (10-hour flight → business class)
|
||||
├── Accommodation: $180 × 3 nights = $540
|
||||
├── Meals: $119.40 × 4 days = $477.60
|
||||
└── Incidentals: $17.30 × 4 days = $69.20

# Deployment Guide
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚀 Quick Start (Node.js)
|
||||
|
||||
### Prerequisites
|
||||
- Node.js 14+ installed
|
||||
- npm installed
|
||||
|
||||
### Installation & Run
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Install dependencies
|
||||
npm install
|
||||
|
||||
# Start the server
|
||||
npm start
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The application will be available at: **http://localhost:5001**
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🐳 Docker Deployment
|
||||
|
||||
### Prerequisites
|
||||
- Docker installed
|
||||
- Docker Compose installed (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: Docker Build & Run
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Build the Docker image
|
||||
docker build -t govt-travel-estimator .
|
||||
|
||||
# Run the container
|
||||
docker run -d --env-file .env -p 5001:5001 --name govt-travel-app govt-travel-estimator
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: Docker Compose (Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Start the container
|
||||
docker-compose up -d
|
||||
|
||||
# View logs
|
||||
docker-compose logs -f
|
||||
|
||||
# Stop the container
|
||||
docker-compose down
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Verify Deployment
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check container status
|
||||
docker ps
|
||||
|
||||
# View logs
|
||||
docker logs govt-travel-estimator
|
||||
|
||||
# Test the application
|
||||
curl http://localhost:5001
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note:** Docker builds can run without Amadeus credentials. When the API keys are missing, flight search falls back to curated sample flights (see `data/sampleFlights.json`) so you can still exercise the UI. Add `AMADEUS_API_KEY` and `AMADEUS_API_SECRET` later to unlock live pricing. Make sure you create a `.env` file based on `.env.example` and the Compose service loads it via `env_file`, or pass it via `--env-file` when using `docker run`.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🌐 Access Points
|
||||
|
||||
Once deployed, access the application:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Main Application**: http://localhost:5001
|
||||
- **Validation Dashboard**: http://localhost:5001/validation.html
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔧 Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Change Port
|
||||
|
||||
**In server.js:**
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
const PORT = 5001; // Change this value
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**In docker-compose.yml:**
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
ports:
|
||||
- "5001:5001" # Change first value (host port)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

## 🔄 Updating Rate Databases
|
||||
|
||||
### Without Stopping Server
|
||||
|
||||
If using Docker with volume mount:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Edit the JSON files in ./data/
|
||||
# Changes are reflected immediately (read-only mount)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### With Server Restart
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Stop the server
|
||||
npm stop # or docker-compose down
|
||||
|
||||
# Update JSON files in ./data/
|
||||
|
||||
# Restart the server
|
||||
npm start # or docker-compose up -d
|
||||
```
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🛠️ Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Port Already in Use
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Windows
|
||||
netstat -ano | findstr :5001
|
||||
taskkill /PID <PID> /F
|

## 🆘 Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### "Flight API not configured"
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:** Follow `AMADEUS_SETUP.md` to get free API credentials
|
||||
|
||||
### "Could not find airport codes"
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:** City name format matters:
|
||||
- ✅ "Ottawa"
|
||||
- ✅ "New York"
|
||||
- ❌ "Ottawa, ON"
|
||||
- ❌ "NYC"
|
||||
|
||||
### "No flights found"
|
||||
|
||||
**Possible causes:**
|
||||
1. Date too far in future (try within 11 months)
|
||||
2. Small airports without commercial flights
|
||||
3. Route not served by airlines
|
||||
4. Try manual Google Flights fallback
|
||||
|
||||
### Server won't start

# Or run locally
|

|
||||
|
||||
## How to Use
|
||||
|
||||
### Local File Access (Simple)
|
||||
1. Open `index.html` in a web browser
|
||||
2. Fill out the travel details form
|
||||
3. Click "Calculate Estimate" to see the breakdown
|
||||
|
||||
### Web Server (Recommended)
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Install dependencies
|
||||
npm install
|
||||
|
||||
# Start the server on port 5001
|
||||
npm start
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then access:
|
||||
|
||||
### Environment Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Before you start the server or build the Docker image, copy `.env.example` to `.env` and fill in your Amadeus credentials as documented in `AMADEUS_SETUP.md`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cp .env.example .env
|
||||
# update AMADEUS_API_KEY and AMADEUS_API_SECRET with your values
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The application reads these values via `dotenv`, and the server warns if the keys are missing. Keep the `.env` file private and do not commit it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Docker Deployment
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Using Docker Compose
|
||||
docker-compose up -d
|
||||
|
||||
# Or build and run manually
|
||||
docker build -t govt-travel-estimator .
|
||||
docker run -d --env-file .env -p 5001:5001 govt-travel-estimator
|
||||
```
|
||||
Docker Compose now loads the `.env` file via `env_file`, so create the file before starting the stack.
|
||||
|
||||
See `DEPLOYMENT.md` for complete deployment instructions.

**Logger (`utils/logger.js`):**
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
const logger = require('./utils/logger');
|
||||
|
||||
logger.info('Information message');
|
||||
logger.warn('Warning message');
|
||||
logger.error('Error message', error);
|
||||
logger.debug('Debug message');
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Cache (`utils/cache.js`):**
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
const cache = require('./utils/cache');
|
||||
|
||||
// Cache flight search
|
||||
cache.setFlight(origin, destination, date, returnDate, adults, data);
|
||||
const cached = cache.getFlight(origin, destination, date, returnDate, adults);
|
||||
|
||||
// Get cache stats
|
||||
const stats = cache.getStats();
|
||||
|
||||
// Clear cache
|
||||
cache.clearAll();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Validation (`utils/validation.js`):**
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
const { validate, flightSearchSchema } = require('./utils/validation');
|
||||
|
||||
// Use as middleware
|
||||
app.get('/api/flights/search', validate(flightSearchSchema), async (req, res) => {
|
||||
// req.query is now validated and sanitized
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### API Endpoints
|
||||
|
||||
**Cache Management (Development Only):**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Clear all caches
|
||||
GET /api/cache/clear
|
||||
|
||||
# Get cache statistics
|
||||
GET /api/cache/stats
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Health Check (Enhanced):**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
GET /api/health
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Returns:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"status": "healthy",
|
||||
"timestamp": "2026-01-12T10:30:00.000Z",

## 🏗️ Architecture Changes
|
||||
|
||||
### Before (v1.1.0)
|
||||
- Basic Express server
|
||||
- No caching
|
||||
- Console logging only
|
||||
- No input validation
|
||||
- No rate limiting
|
||||
|
||||
### After (v1.2.0)
|
||||
```

## 📊 Performance Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
### Cache Hit Rates (Expected)
|
||||
- Flight searches: **70-80%** (1-hour TTL)
|
||||
- Rate data: **90-95%** (24-hour TTL)
|
||||
- Database queries: **85-90%** (5-minute TTL)
|
||||
|
||||
### Response Times
|
||||
- Cached responses: **<50ms**
|
||||
- Uncached API calls: **200-500ms**
|
||||
- Database queries: **10-100ms**
|
||||
|
||||
### Bandwidth Savings
|
||||
- Compression: **60-70%** reduction
|
||||
- Caching: **75-85%** fewer API calls
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔒 Security Enhancements
|
||||
|
||||
### Implemented
|
||||
✅ Helmet.js security headers
|
||||
✅ Rate limiting (100 req/15min per IP)
|
||||
✅ Flight API limiting (20 req/5min per IP)
|
||||
✅ Input validation (Joi schemas)
|
||||
✅ SQL injection prevention
|
||||
✅ XSS protection
|
||||
✅ CORS configuration
|
||||
✅ Secure headers
|
||||
|
||||
### Best Practices
|
||||
- Use HTTPS in production
|
||||
- Keep dependencies updated
|
||||
- Monitor logs regularly
|
||||
- Set strong rate limits for production
|
||||
- Use environment variables for secrets

## 📝 Logging
|
||||
|
||||
### Log Locations
|
||||
```
|
||||
logs/
|
||||
├── combined-YYYY-MM-DD.log # All logs
|
||||
├── error-YYYY-MM-DD.log # Errors only
|
||||
├── exceptions-YYYY-MM-DD.log # Uncaught exceptions
|
||||
└── rejections-YYYY-MM-DD.log # Unhandled rejections
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Log Levels
|
||||
- **error**: Critical errors requiring attention
|
||||
- **warn**: Warnings (non-critical issues)
|
||||
- **info**: General information (default)
|
||||
- **debug**: Detailed debugging information
|
||||
|
||||
### Configuration
|
||||
Set log level in `.env`:
|
||||
```env
|
||||
LOG_LEVEL=info # or: error, warn, debug
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Log Rotation
|
||||
- Daily rotation
|
||||
- Error logs kept for 30 days
|
||||
- Combined logs kept for 14 days
|
||||
- Max file size: 20MB
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🧪 Testing
|
||||
|
||||
### Run Tests
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Run all tests
|
||||
npm test
|
||||
|
||||
# Run with coverage
|
||||
npm run test:coverage
|
||||
|
||||
# Watch mode (auto-run on changes)
|
||||
npm run test:watch
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Structure
|
||||
```
|
||||
tests/
|
||||
└── basic.test.js # Placeholder tests
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** Current tests are placeholders. Implement real tests for:
|
||||
- Calculation functions
|
||||
- API endpoints
|
||||
- Validation logic
|
||||
- Cache mechanisms
|
||||
- Error handling
