Features

Database Integration

Choose an appropriate database system (e.g., SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL) for your Flask application and configure it. Implement data models, relationships, and tables to support the core functionalities of managing destinations, itineraries, and expenses. While Test-Driven Development (TDD) is encouraged, it is optional for this project.

Destination Management

Develop API endpoints for managing travel destinations. Each destination should have attributes like name, description, and location. Implement CRUD operations for destinations. You may write tests for these operations, but it's not mandatory.

API Endpoints:

Add destination: [POST] http://localhost:5000/addDestinations

Get all destinations: [GET] http://localhost:5000/getAlldestinations

Get destination by id: [GET] http://localhost:5000/destinations/{destination_id}

Update destination by id: [PUT] http://localhost:5000/destinations/{destination_id}

Itinerary Planning Create API endpoints for planning itineraries. Users should be able to add, update, and delete activities in their itineraries for selected destinations. Optionally, write tests for these endpoints to validate functionality.

API Endpoints:

Add itineraries: [POST] http://localhost:5000/itineraries/{destination_id}/activities

Update itineraries by destination id: [PUT] http://localhost:5000/itineraries/{destination_id}/activities

Delete itineraries by destination id: [DELETE] http://localhost:5000/itineraries/{destination_id}

Get itinerary by destination id: [GET] http://localhost:5000/itineraries/destination/{destination_id}

Expense Tracking

Enable users to record and track their expenses related to their trips. Users should be able to add expenses and categorize them. You may choose to implement tests to verify expense recording and categorization.

API Endpoints:

Add expense to itinerary: [POST] http://localhost:5000/itineraries/{itinerary_id}/expenses

Get all expenses: [GET] http://localhost:5000/expenses

Update expense by itinerary id: [PUT] http://localhost:5000/expenses/{expense_id

Get expense by itinerary id: [GET] http://localhost:5000/expenses/itinerary/{itinerary_id}

Get expense by destination id: [GET] http://localhost:5000/expenses/destination/{destination_id}
