Allow Same Discount/Access Code for Multiple Events in the Open Event Server

In this Blog-Post, I will show how to allow the system to create the same Discount/Access Code for multiple events in the Open Event Server. What was the issue: The main problem was that the server used to identify the discount code and access code based on the discount code/access code itself, which did not allow multiple events to have the same discount/access codes. Can you think of a better solution to this?Yes, we should have been searching for it based on the discount/access code as well as the event they are associated with. Changing the endpoint: Now to do so, we want to pass the id of the event as well as discount/access code itself with the endpoint so that we can search the database based on the event_id and the code itself.   Changes in Discount/Access Code Endpoint: '/event/<int:discount_event_id>/discount-code/<code>''/event/<int:access_event_id>/access-code/<code>' Change logic for database search: Now when searching for discount/access code in the database, we need to pass the event_id along with the discount/access code, so that we can get the column of discount/access code associated with that event, even if we have multiple discount/access code with the same name for a different event.  Changes in Database search logic: access = db.session.query(AccessCode).filter_by(code=kwargs.get('code')event_id = kwargs.get('access_event_id')).first() discount = db.session.query(DiscountCode).filter_by(code=kwargs.get('code'),event_id = kwargs.get('discount_event_id')).first() Change endpoint in API docs and update Dredd hooks: Now that we have changed the endpoint to get a discount/access code, we need to change API docs as well as Dredd hooks to accommodate the change in API docs. Changes in API docs: ## Get Discount Code Detail using the code [/v1/event/{event_id}/discount-code/{code}] ## Get Access Code Detail using the code [/v1/event/{event_id}/access-code/{code}] Changes in Dredd Hooks: In discount code hook: discount_code.event_id = 1 In access code hook: event = EventFactoryBasic()db.session.add(event)db.session.commit() Resources: Link to Issue: fossasia/open-event-server#6027Link to PR: fossasia/open-event-server#6208

How to Make Promotional Codes Applicable on Tickets During Ordering in Open Event Frontend

This blog illustrate how to enable application of promotional codes on tickets during ordering tickets in Open Event Frontend to avail discounts and access to special tickets. Open event allows organizers to add some promotional codes on some tickets, which can be used by users to avail additional offers on tickets while ordering. Promotional codes can be of three types: Discount Codes: Allows customers to buy a ticket at discounted rates. Access Codes: Allows customers to access some hidden tickets which are accessible only to special customers. Discount + Access Code: Allows customer to access special tickets and avail discount at the same time. Creating a discount/access code: Organizers and admin can create an access code or a discount code from the event dashboard. They can specify the validity period of the code and can also specify the tickets on which the code will be applicable. Validating promotional code after user enters the code: User is allowed to enter the promotional code on events page upon selecting the tickets. IF promotional code is valid then suitable discount is provided on applicable tickets and if promotional code is an access code then hidden tickets for which the promotional code is valid are shown. To check the validity of the promotional code we deal with the following APIs on the open event server: GET             /v1/discount-codes/{Code}              (For Discount code) GET             /v1/access-codes/{Code}                  (For Access code) Code snippet to check the validity for access code is given below: let promotionalCode = this.get('promotionalCode'); let order = this.get('order'); try { let accessCode = await this.get('store').findRecord('access-code', promotionalCode, {}); order.set('accessCode', accessCode); let tickets = await accessCode.get('tickets'); tickets.forEach(ticket => { ticket.set('isHidden', false); this.get('tickets').addObject(ticket); this.get('accessCodeTickets').addObject(ticket); this.set('invalidPromotionalCode', false); }); } catch (e) { this.set('invalidPromotionalCode', true); }   Full code can be seen here https://github.com/fossasia/open-event-frontend/blob/development/app/components/public/ticket-list.js Similarly for discount code we fetch the details of the discount code via the api and then validate the code. After the validation we apply the discount to the tickets applicable. Code snippet for the discount code part is given below: try { let discountCode = await this.get('store').findRecord('discount-code', promotionalCode, { include: 'tickets' }); let discountType = discountCode.get('type'); let discountValue = discountCode.get('value'); order.set('discountCode', discountCode); let tickets = await discountCode.get('tickets'); tickets.forEach(ticket => { let ticketPrice = ticket.get('price'); if (discountType === 'amount') { ticket.set('discount', Math.min(ticketPrice, discountValue)); this.get('discountedTickets').addObject(ticket); } else { ticket.set('discount', ticketPrice * (discountValue / 100)); this.get('discountedTickets').addObject(ticket); } this.set('invalidPromotionalCode', false); }); } catch (e) { if (this.get('invalidPromotionalCode')) { this.set('invalidPromotionalCode', true); } }   Full code can be seen https://github.com/fossasia/open-event-frontend/blob/development/app/components/public/ticket-list.js After promotional codes are verified we apply them to the selected tickets. In this way we apply the promotional codes to the tickets.
