Offline Server

This server currently handles processing raw events, cleaning their fields and finally publishing them to an Elastic Search database.

Shape of an event document

On offline, an event can be:

• A single, one-time event
• A multi-day event
• A recurring event

To account for all of these cases, an event document is created for each occurrence of the event. Each occurrence will have a unique startDateTime and endDateTime timestamp indicating the physical start/end times for this occurrence of the event.

An example: "Free Beer" 2pm-4pm 4/12 - 4/16 would create:

• "Free Beer" 4/12 2pm-4pm
• "Free Beer" 4/13 2pm-4pm
• "Free Beer" 4/14 2pm-4pm
• "Free Beer" 4/15 2pm-4pm
• "Free Beer" 4/16 2pm-4pm

Each occurrence shares the same eventId so you can associate them together, but they have a unique id across them.

{
          "createDate": <Unix Timestamp>,
          "modifiedDate": <Unix Timestamp>,
          "address": "123 StreetName St, City, ST 12345, USA",
          "category : "inspiration|etc", // Offline category
          "description": "This is the description of the event.",
          "endDateTime" : <Unix Timestamp>,
          "eventUrl" : "https://www.facebook.com/events/12345678", // link to event
          "eventId" : "category-event-title", // ID shared by all occurrences
          "id" : "category-event-title:<StartDateTime>:<EndDateTime>", // Unique ID for this occurrence
          "imageUrl" : "https://url-of-the.image.jpg",
          "location" : {
            "lat" : 12.345678,
            "lon" : -12.345678
          },
          "offlineUrl" : "https://www.get-offline.com/category/event-title",
          "price" : 0,
          "referralUrls" : [ // Any urls found in the event description
            "https://moor-urls.com"
          ],
          "startDateTime" : <Unix Timestamp>,
          "tags" : [ ], // Any tags associated with the event
          "teaser" : "Short teaser title of the event",
          "title" : "Title of the event"
        }

Local Setup

This setup requires go version 1.11+

1. Clone and enter the repository
2. run go get -u
3. run go build
4. run ELASTIC_SEARCH_URL=<URL> ./offline-server

The server will host itself at http://localhost:3000;

Running with Docker

To run with docker, you first have to create the docker image by executing:

run `docker build -t offline-server`

Once the image is created, you can create/run the container by executing:

docker run \
--env ELASTIC_SEARCH_URL=<URL> \
-d -p 3000:3000 \
--name offline-server \
offline-server

The docker run port mapping will host the server at http://localhost:3000;
