Root Driver Trip Consolidation Tool

How to use

Clone this repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/akado117/root-trip-parser.git

Navigate to your newly cloned directory

Install Node packages

$ npm install

Run the CLI program

$ node ./app.js <path-to-file>

Preproject Problem Break Down

Input formatted driver data from file and output averages to new file. Should exclude "outlier" speeds aka average speeds under 5 MPH and over 100 MPH.

Axioms

Driver names are unique AND case sensitive. Times should be standard but will validate accordingly All parsed time data will be stored as minutes. All distances are in miles. (Given) Time ranges are for a single day aka no 24 hour time wrap past midnight. When reporting, round distance and speed to nearest number Commands Driver and Trip are case sensitive File length and memory required will be manageable for a single Node runtime. User will have modern version of Node/NPM on their machine (node v8.x.x+). App is brittle and will throw errors when encountering incorrect input data.

Core Object Break Down

Building the solution with objects to make code more organized. Will all run with an app.js that can parse command line args. If file found, load data and split it by new lines. Can then call api exposed by Main, and finally report after all commands parsed. Drivers should store name and contain Trips. Should track/update total drive time and miles as trips are added. Drivers also should be able to return time/miles driven, trips, name, and average speed. Should include function to calculate and store/return average speed when called. Trips need to be able to parse drive time into time on road, and store it. It should also store distance driven. Due to average speed limitations on a trip basis, an average speed calculate/store/return function should be here. Main takes commands. Then parse data to build Drivers and add trips to drivers based upon commands. Will need functionality to return drivers when requested

• Driver -- trips, total distance driven, and time driven, average speed - getters -- addTrip function -- calculateAverageSpeed

• Trip -- construtor - store and parse time and distance -- parseTime function to parse time into duration -- duration, and distance getters

• Main -- parseCommand function - takes in command and builds/stores Driver or adds trip to driver -- getDrivers - returns drivers so calling medium can do whatever is needed with the information

Updates While Implementing

• Adding validation for correct constructor arguments when creating Trips
• No reason to have getters for start/end time for Trip
• Was going to do string manipulation and math to get duration in trip, date objects should be more readable even if there's a performance hit
• Breaking out parseCommand so it can call seperate functions within main from itself. _addDriver and _addTripToDriver
• Added getAverageSpeed to Trip
• Removing calculateAverageSpeed and combining with getAverageSpeed
• Added in name getter for Driver...
