Advanced Flights System (AFS)

Introduction

The Advanced Flights System (AFS) is an innovative platform designed to streamline flight operations and enhance passenger experience. Built with advanced technology, it ensures efficiency, reliability, and flexibility for airlines and travelers alike.

Usage

The system is hosted at https://advanced-flights-system.replit.app. The Postman collection of the APIs is available here. Moreover, Swagger-style API docs can be found here. They can be imported to Swagger Editor. The list of APIs, information about authorization, API descriptions, and request and response formats are all outlined there.

Local development

To develop the AFS locally, first clone the repository and install the necessary dependencies:

npm install

To migrate the database, run

npm prisma migrate deploy

Finally, to run the server locally, use

npm run dev

Imporing data

Below commands allow you to have a pre-populated database with more than 80 airports, 45 airlines, and 70,000 flights.

To import airlines and airports, use

node prisma/data/import_data

To generate flights data, run

node prisma/data/generate_flights

Finally, to create third-party users (aka agencies), add all student IDs to prisma/data/agencies.js, and run

node prisma/data/import_agencies

Each user will now become an agency, whose API key is the sha-256 hash of their student ID.
