Project Setup

For our example we'll be using JavaScript and express to build a simple example provider for booking products from a local database.

Development Tip

While we're using JavaScript and express in this tutorial, you can implement a provider in any language. You just need to provide the API methods described.

Step 1. Create the project​

1. Create the workspaceq​

git init my-provider
cd my-provider/
yarn init # Follow the questions prompted

2. Install the dependencies​

yarn add express

Step 2. Initialize a basic API​

const Express = require('express'),
      app = Express(),
      port = process.env.PORT || 3000;

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
    res.send("Hello World!");
});

app.listen(port, () => {
    console.log(`App listening on http://localhost:${port}`);
});

Step 3. Run the app & verify​

yarn exec node ./server.js
# => App listening on http://localhost:3000/
curl http://localhost:3000/
# => Hello World!
