#Driving Lesson Booking Widget

A simple Vue.js widget which provides an example — in the context of booking driving lessons — of how to use Acuity Scheduling for managing scheduling. It uses the API to search availability and to make bookings.

This repository also includes a PHP-based "wrapper", based on Silex, which serves up a single page and also acts as a "proxy" to the Acuity Scheduling API.

##Pre-requisites

• You'll need an account with Acuity Scheduling There's a 14-day trial, or even a free account.
• You'll need PHP 5.4+
• You need to have Composer installed
• You also need Bower (*)

(*) If you'd rather use npm, or download the dependencies manually, just alter the paths in views/index.html.twig as required.

##Setting it Up

Once you have an Actuity account, go to Business Settings -> Integrations. At the bottom of the page you'll find a link; "View your API Credentials".

Make a note of your API key and User ID.

Create an appointment type, and make a note of its ID.

Take a copy of config/__COPY_ME__.json and save it as {env}.json, where {env} is your environment. For example, for development:

cp config/__COPY_ME__.json config/dev.json

Here's what the file will look like:

{  
  "debug": true,
  "userId": "",
  "apiKey": "",
  "appointmentTypeID": ""
}

Fill in the appropriate blanks.

Now install the PHP dependencies:

composer install

Now install the front-end dependencies:

bower install

##Running It

To run it, just make sure your web server (Apache, Nginx etc) is pointing to the public directory.

Alternatively to use PHP's built-in web server:

php -S localhost:8000
