spies url parser

Why?

Urls on Spies.dk contain the query parameters of the options people selected when they performed their holiday search.

What?

When a search is performed on Spies.dk the options selected are stored as query parameters in the url.

Things we need to extract from the URL params

• Departure Airport
• Destination
• Duration of Holiday
• Departure date
• Adults
• Children

How?

Usage

Install from npm

npm install spies-url-parser --save

In Your React (or Browserified) Code

var spies_url_parser = require('spies-url-parser');
var parsed = spies_url_parser(url); // e.g: document.referrer (if user came from Spies)
console.log(parsed); // see below for sample output

#### In Browser JS (without browserify/webpack)

<script src="https://cdn.rawgit.com/numo-labs/spies-url-parser/master/index.js"></script>
<script>
var parsed = spies_url_parser(document.referrer); // e.g: document.referrer
console.log(parsed); // see below for sample output
</script>

Example 1 - Destination: Anywhere

When a user selects the following options:

• From: København
• Where: Anywhere (destination)
• How long: 1 week
• Departure date: 01-07-2016
• Adults: 2
• Children: 2

The url is:

http://www.spies.dk/bestil-pakkerejse?QueryDepID=12678
&QueryCtryID=-1&QueryAreaID=0&QueryResID=-1
&QueryDepDate=20160701&QueryDur=8&CategoryId=2
&QueryRoomAges=|42,42,9,10&QueryUnits=1

Which we parse as:

{
  "departure_airport": "København - CPH",
  "pax_mix": {
    "passengers": [
      "1974-4-11",
      "1974-4-11",
      "2007-4-11",
      "2006-4-11"
    ],
    "adults": 2,
    "children": 2
  },
  "duration_weeks": 1,
  "departure_date": "2016-07-01"
}

Example 2 - Destination Selected: Spain > Canary Islands

For the following: query in the Spies UI:

the URL is: http://www.spies.dk/bestil-pakkerejse?QueryDepID=12676&QueryCtryID=4826&QueryAreaID=8775&QueryResID=0&QueryDepDate=20160921&QueryDur=8&CategoryId=2&QueryRoomAges=|42,42,7,3&QueryUnits=1

and parsed parameters are:

{
  "departure_airport": "Billund - BLL",
  "pax_mix": {
    "passengers": [
      "1974-4-11",
      "1974-4-11",
      "2009-4-11",
      "2013-4-11"
    ],
    "adults": 2,
    "children": 2
  },
  "duration_days": "8",
  "departure_date": "2016-09-21",
  "destination": "4826,8775"
}
