osheaga

Hey!

It will be hot this summer in Montreal with the Osheaga festival! Assuming we're not stuck with another wave of COVID-19, it will also be a rocking festival! Your challenge is to build a promotional app that allows a traveler from Quebec City to find one-way departure schedules for the festival's opening weekend.

Requirements

Write a native Busbud app that:

  • Has a simple onboarding screen that will open the search
  • Lists all the departures for a given origin city (Quebec - geohash: f2m673) and a given destination city (Montreal - geohash: f25dvk) for a given day (the 28th of August 2021) for 1 adult. For each item, we want, at least, to see the departure time, the arrival time, the location name and the price (use prices.total of the departure).

Non-functional requirements

  • Challenge is submitted as pull request against this repo (fork it and create a pull request).
  • The repo should include 3 screenshots under the /screenshots folder to show the app usage.
  • Change the README.md to explain your solution, the issues, the way you solved them...

Supporting API

In order to complete this challenge, you will be making requests to napi.busbud.com, Busbud's production API.
For all requests, you MUST provide the following HTTP headers:

Header Value
Accept application/vnd.busbud+json; version=2; profile=https://schema.busbud.com/v2/
X-Busbud-Token The token provided in the challenge invitation email.

Init results

To get departure results, search is initialized via the following endpoint:

https://napi.busbud.com/x-departures/:origin/:destination/:outbound_date

PATH PARAMS

  • origin : Origin's geohash
  • destination : Destination's geohash
  • outbound_date : Outbound departure date, ISO 8061 date

QUERY PARAMS:

  • adult : Number of adults
  • child : Number of children
  • senior : Number of seniors
  • lang : ISO 639-1 (2 letter code) language code (supported values include en, fr, es, and a few others)
  • currency : ISO 4217 currency code (supported values include CAD, USD, EUR, and a few others)

The response looks like:

  "origin_city_id": "375dd5879001acbd84a4683dedf9eed1",
