Go Fly

A simple application written in Go.

Go Fly hits the skyscanner api and finds the cheapest flights available for the specified destinations.

Getting Started

Local Development Server

1. Clone the repo. git clone git@github.com:sdstolworthy/go-fly.git && cd go-fly/
2. Get the dependencies dep ensure
3. (Optional) Seed the database
   1. Run the seed files go run seed/*.go -airport
4. Run the server from the main directory go run *.go

Docker Server

1. Clone the repo.
2. Run docker-compose up -d

Note: If you make changes to the source, you must manually run docker-compose build to update the docker image with the new source code.

For convenience, I have included my .vscode/launch.json. You can use this to work with the debugging functions in VSCode.

Wishlist:

1. Daemonize the application. The application should run in the background, and send notifications through email or another means
2. Database for analytics. Write prices to a database for historical purposes. Use this data to determine what a "good" deal is, by comparing to past price averages.
3. Support additional queries.
4. [In Progress] Build a web interface for customizing queries.
