Movie Ticketing

Simple app simulating a movie ticket purchasing cycle.

Note

There's a fixtures.json file with some initial movies, halls, showtimes and seats.

About the app

To be able to make reservations, users have to be logged in. JWT authentication is used for that purpose.

The idea for the usage is:

• once the user logs in, they select the showtime they want to purchase the tickets for
• if the user already has an OPEN reservation for that showtime, that one has to be used
• when the user doesn't have any reservations, they get created by the user selecting a single seating for the showtime
• this triggers a POST request and creates the reservation
• every subsequent seating pick triggers a PUT request, sending all of the user's currently selected seats
• only available seats + the seats already selected by the user are allowed for PUT requests
• reservations (and their updates) can be made only up to a certain point before the movie (30 minutes by default)
• once created, the reservation stays active for 15 minutes. Seat updates don't increase this time
• in a production environment, a cron job would be running every N minutes, deleting all of the expired reservations
• to complete a reservation (no payment methods are implemented) a PATCH request is sent to reservations/uuid/complete
