I'm working on a project where I need to get all the vacant classrooms for the day and basically filter out the ones being in use.
I get all the data from the school's own API with JSON response body that looks like this:

In order to get the JSON response I need to put startDate (the moment user searches the vacant rooms, in this situation it is: 2017-04-27T10:55) and endDate (set to end of the day, 2017-04-27T22:00). The result for this query is the JSON response above.
The problem is that the API I'm using doesn't contain any data for the vacant rooms but only for the ones booked for certain times so I made a list of all the rooms in the building and compared it to the booked ones to filter them out:
var rooms = ['A120.3', 'A130.1', 'A130.3', 'A140.1', 'A140.2', 'A140.4', 'A250.1', 'A240.4', 'A240.2', 'A220.5', 'A220.3',
'A220.1', 'A210.2', 'A320.2', 'A320.6', 'A320.7', 'A320.8', 'A340.1', 'A340.2', 'A350.1', 'A350.3', 'A440.5', 'A450.3','A450.1',
'A440.4', 'A440.2', 'A420.6', 'A420.5', 'A420.4', 'A420.2', 'A510.2', 'A520.5', 'A510.4', 'A520.6', 'A520.7','A540.1', 'A540.2'];
var data = JSON.parse(responseText);
var booking = Object.create(null);
var free;
data.reservations.forEach(function (reservation) {
reservation.resources.some(function (resource) {
if (resource.type === 'room') {
booking[resource.code] = booking[resource.code] || [];
booking[resource.code].push({ startDate: reservation.startDate, endDate: reservation.endDate });
return true;
}
});
});
free = rooms.filter(function (a) {
return !booking[a];
});
console.log(free);
Results:
A210.3
A220.5
A320.2
A520.6
A510.4
This only returns the ones that are not being used at all during the day but I need to get the ones that are vacant for hour or two.
For this booked class for example:
"startDate": "2017-04-27T13:15:00",
"endDate": "2017-04-27T16:00:00",
"type": "room",
"code": "A520.5"
for this I would need to print out:
A520.5 - 2 hours 20 minutes
So I need to get the room / time from the startDate of the search (2017-04-27T10:55) and compare it to the startDate of the booked room (2017-04-27T13:15:00) to get the time remaining for that room to be vacant.
TO CLARIFY:
I have all the data for booked rooms starting from 2017-04-27T10:55 until 2017-04-27T22:00 as you can see from the JSON response above.
I need to somehow compare the startDate of the JSON query when the user
searches for the rooms (2017-04-27T10:55) and compare it to the booked
rooms startDate to get the time how long the room stays vacant.
This is how I'm doing my startDate and endDate for the JSON query:
// Timestamp needs to be formed (YYYY-MM-DDTxx:xx) in order for JSON query to work
var todaysDate = new Date();
function convertDate(date) {
var yyyy = date.getFullYear().toString();
var mm = (date.getMonth() + 1).toString();
var dd = date.getDate().toString();
var mmChars = mm.split('');
var ddChars = dd.split('');
return yyyy + '-' + (mmChars[1] ? mm : "0" + mmChars[0]) + '-' + (ddChars[1] ? dd : "0" + ddChars[0]);
}
// Current time when user searches for vacant rooms
var currentTime = new Date();
var time = "T" + currentTime.getHours() + ":" + currentTime.getMinutes();
// variables for the JSON query
var startDate = convertDate(todaysDate) + time;
var endDate = convertDate(todaysDate) + ("T22:00");
// JSON-query
var getRooms = {
"startDate": startDate,
"endDate": endDate
};
