Jeffrey Crowley's Brevium Project

Description

This project is a simple service that schedules doctor's appointments based on the initial schedule and the requests for appointments that exist. The project is written in Java, using Gradle as the build tool.

Setup

To run the project, you will need to have Java 8 installed on your machine. You can download it from the Oracle website. You will also need to have Gradle installed. You can download it from the Gradle website. I used IntelliJ IDEA as my IDE, as it installed Gradle for me and made it easy to run the project.

Running the Project

The following steps will allow you to run the project:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. Open the project in your IDE.
3. Add a new configuration to run the project. You will need to add two environment variables: API_URL and API_TOKEN.
   • API_URL should be the URL of the API you want to use (up to and including the api/Scheduling)
   • API_TOKEN should be a valid API token as specified in the project specs.
4. Run the main (SchedulingApp) class.

The project will then run and output the results to the console.

Notes

• I was unfortunately not able to completely finish this project before hitting 3 hours. I was able to get the initial schedule and the requests for appointments, but I was not able to finish the logic for scheduling appointments. I believe I was close to getting it done, but I was not able to finish it in time. I also did not have time to write tests for the project, which I would have liked to do. I would have used JUnit for the tests. I would have also finished the JavaDocs for the project, as I was not able to finish those either.
• A note about timing... You'll see that my initial commit was well before my other commits. Something came up at home that I had to take care of and which ended up taking a few hours to resolve. My total time remains under 3 hours, but I wanted to make sure you knew why there was a gap in my commits.
• There are several changes that would like to make to this project if given more time, after getting the logic to actually work, of course. If given the chance, I can talk about that with you if you end up liking my work and would like to talk more.
