There is no continuous integration/delivery in SAP SDK. Merging a PR into main branch doesn't automatically trigger the release process. For releases SAPI SDK uses Ship.js tool. It gives more control over the process. Ship.js automatically creates a PR before publishing every release, so this allows:

Confirm the next version is correct.
Confirm which commits are going to be released and discuss them with colleagues.
Edit the automatically generated changelog for clarity & readability.

GitHub Token

GitHub token is required for the release process:

Go to your GitHub account
Check "repo(Full control of private repositories)"
Generate/copy the token
Add it in your command line like: GITHUB_TOKEN=xxx

New release

To create and deploy a new release of SAPI SDK please follow the next steps:

Merge your changes. There can be multiple changes in one release
Checkout the latest version of the main branch
In the root directory run make release command - this will start the release process
Review and confirm (or change) the new release version number
After installing dependencies and running deployment scripts a new pull request will be automatically created
Review/update CHANGELOG.md in the root directory. Write down changes with descriptions using keep a changelog guiding principles and commit your changes to the newly created release PR
Review the PR/ask SAPI engineer(s) for approval
Squash and merge the PR. This will trigger automated release process using GitHub actions and after some time the new release will be published to NMP
Check if the new version has been published to NPM

New release from a development branch

Sometimes You might want to test your changes on the website for example on the local or custom/test environment before merging your branch to main and before making a new SAPI SDK release. To do so You can create and publish a pre-release. Pre-release publishes a new version to NPM with a tag other than latest (the default tag). To publish a pre-release please follow the next steps:

commit your changes to your development branch
build SAPI SDK from the root of the project:
```
make core-build
```
create a new version npm version prepatch (preminor, premajor) --preid=beta (alpha, beta, etc...):
```
npm version prepatch --preid=beta
```
this would result in something like this 1.4.1-beta.0
- If you’ve already released a pre-release and want to increment the pre-release part of the version only, run:
```
npm version prerelease
```
  this would result in something like this 1.4.1-beta.1
publish your changes with a tag other than latest:
```
npm publish --tag=next
```
after the new version is published to npm, install it to your local environment specifying the new version:
```
npm install @findhotel/sapi@1.4.1-beta.0
```

Tutorials

Getting Started

First, install SAPI SDK via the npm package manager:

npm install @findhotel/sapi

Then, import SAPI into your project:

import sapi from '@findhotel/sapi'

Create SAPI client:

const profileKey = 'profile-key'

const sapiClient = await sapi(profileKey, {
  anonymousId: 'fd9dbb5f-b337-4dd7-b640-1f177d1d3caa',
  language: 'en',
  currency: 'USD',
  countryCode: 'US'
})

Now SAPI client is ready to be used in your application.

For full documentation and supported options check client api.

React Native

Sapi SDK uses uuid for generation of random strings. uuid uses a global crypto object which is not available in React Native environment.

To add support, crypto polyfill should be installed on the consumer side. We recommend installing just crypto.getRandomValues polyfill if you don't use other crypto methods. More information about polyfill can be found here

Split Booking Configuration

The format for the split booking configuration is as follows:

LOS1~LOS2

where: LOS1 and LOS2 are integers representing the length of stay for the first and second part of the split booking respectively.

for example if we have these parameters:

checkIn:'2023-08-10'

checkOut:'2023-08-15'

sbc:2~3

The first part of the split booking will be 2 nights and the second part will be 3 nights. So, SAPI searches for two stays:

split1: checkIn: '2023-08-10' checkOut: '2023-08-12'

split2: checkIn: '2023-08-12' checkOut: '2023-08-15'

Callbacks

Search method receives callbacks object as the second argument:

const callbacks =  {
  onStart: (response) => {
    log('Search started', response)
  },
  onAnchorReceived: (response) => {
    log('Anchor received', response)
  },
  onHotelsReceived: (response) => {
    log('Hotels received', response)
  },
  onOffersReceived: (response) => {
    log('Offers received', response)
  },
  onComplete: (response) => {
    log('Search completed', response)
  }
}

Each callback returns the full search state available inside SAPI at the time of callbacks executions. This means that each subsequent callback incrementally adds new properties and returns updated state. The data in the state can be repeated between different callbacks.

onStart()

Runs at the beginning of each new search.

The callback is supplied with generated searchId and actual search parameters that are used for the search, like dates, currency, language used if invoker didn't provide those.

Another purpose of this callback is that invoker can track that hotels search has started, in Search SPA the event is HotelsSearched.
onAnchorReceived()

Runs when SAPI receives anchor and(?) anchor hotel (in case of hotel search)
Returns static data about anchor response.anchor and(?) anchor hotel inside response.hotelEntities object (in case of hotel search).
onHotelsReceived()

Runs when SAPI receives static search results
Returns static data about hotels inside response.hotelEntities object as well as appropriate hotel sort order in response.hotelIds array (sorted according to HSO).
onOffersReceived()

Runs when SAPI receives a bunch of offers
Returns hotel's offers (incomplete response) in response.hotelOfferEntities object as well as updated hotel sort order in response.hotelIds array (sorted according to HSO and taking into account the real offers data)
The offers response with the detailed description can be found in the Offers Response
onComplete()

Runs when current search is complete and all offers are retrieved
Return complete SAPI search response.
The offers response with the detailed description can be found in the Offers Response

Response

The complete SAPI search response is too big to be displayed on the page so there is a simplified example:

Load more results and load more offers for a hotel

After the search is complete:

const search = await sapiClient.search(searchParameters, callbacks)

it resolves in the search object which has 2 methods:

search.loadMore() - SDK will return the next set of results ("next" page) for the given search. The same callbacks from original search will be used.
search.loadOffers(hotelId, {filters, offersSort}) - will load all offers (up to 23) for the provided hotelId. You can also override offers' scope filters and offers' sort order.

How to generate `searchId`?

Every search should have a searchId - a random unique string used for tracking purposes. SAPI SDK automatically generates a unique searchId each time clients call search(), rooms() or offers() methods. Sometimes it might be useful to preserve the searchId between multiple actions. For this case all mentioned methods accept searchId as a parameter and use it instead of internally generated one.

SAPI SDK exposes a special method generateSearchId to generate searchId which then can be used in the clients app.

Example

import {generateSearchId} from '@findhotel/sapi'

const searchId = generateSearchId()

const rooms = await sapiClient.rooms({
  hotelId: '47319',
  checkIn: '2023-10-10',
  checkOut: '2023-10-11',
  rooms: '2',
  searchId
})
