Region plugin template for @HowsMyDrivingWA to add a new city/region.

@HowsMyDrivingWA supports plug-in npm modules to add additional cities/regions.

This project is a template that you can copy and add your code to in order to implement your favorite region.

Requirements:

1. The region must have #OpenData citations searchable by license # (obvs).
2. The module must export an object named Region that implements the IRegion interface (see HowsMyDriving-Utils project).
3. The Region.name property must be unique among existing regions consumed by HowsMyDrivingWA project.
4. Implement the GetCitationsByPlate and ProcessCitationsForRequest methods.
5. Write unit tests and make sure they are 100% passing.
6. Test it within an actual Twitter bot (you can remix this Glitch project).
7. Submit a pull request to HowsMyDrivingWA project.
8. Provide technical support if bugs are found in your module.

export class NYCRegion extends Region {
  constructor(name: string) {
    super(name);
  }

  GetCitationsByPlate(plate: string, state: string): Promise<Array<Citation>> {
    return new Promise<Array<Citation>>((resolve, reject) => {
      // Your code to get the citations and return as an array.
      //
      // The objects you return must implement ICitation but can have
      // any number of additional properties.
      // Note: AWS DynamoDB is currently used as the store which means that
      //       none of the properties of your returned objects can be undefined
      //       or empty strings because the world's richest man seems to think
      //       that makes sense.
    });
  }

  ProcessCitationsForRequest(
    citations: ICitation[],
    query_count: number
  ): Array<string> 
    let tweets: Array<string> = [];
    
    // Your code to create the list of tweets you want posted.
    // It is OK for any or all of the strings to be > 280 chars
    // in length. They will be split into multiple tweets on a line
    // break if one exists (if not, it will be split at 280 chars).
    
    // Return the strings in the order they should be tweeted.
    return tweets;
  }
}

Adding a new region module to HowsMyDriving .env file (you'll need @GlenBikes to invite you to the project as a collaborator):

The string you give for the region is the npm module name (i.e. what you'd specify in an import statement to import your project).

{
  REGIONS="howsmydriving-seattle, howsmydriving-dummy, your-new-region"
}
