About the project

Boulevard is an intelligent scheduling solution and comprehensive point of sale system that increases revenue and lowers costs for salons, spas, and other appointment-based businesses.

With this software development kit (SDK) you can create your own custom booking experiences for your business using Boulevard.

Getting Started

Setup

Head over to the Boulevard Developer Portal to get set up with a sandbox account and API application. You'll need your business ID and and API key to use this package.

const businessId = "312bf55a-b6c5-48f2-ab40-eef5d78277ac";
const apiKey = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000";

Install the SDK

npm --save install @boulevard/blvd-book-sdk

yarn add @boulevard/blvd-book-sdk

Client-Side

The simplest flow is the unauthenticated client API, which you can use to create an appointment for a new client:

import { Blvd } from "@boulevard/blvd-book-sdk";

// Step 1: Create a `business` object to interact with the API.
const client = new Blvd(apiKey, businessId);

// Step 2: Choose a location and start by creating a cart
const business = await client.businesses.get();
const locations = await business.getLocations();

let cart = await client.carts.create(locations[0]);

// Step 3: Select and add items to the card
const item = cart.availableCategories[0].availableItems[0];
cart = await cart.addBookableItem(item);

// Step 4: Find available timeslots
const dates = await cart.getBookableDates();
const times = await cart.getBookableTimes(dates[0]);

// Step 5: Reserve a timeslot, add details, and book!
await cart.reserve(times[0]);

await cart.update({
  email: "[email protected]",
  firstName: "John",
  lastName: "Doe",
  phoneNumber: "+13105555555"
});

await cart.addCardPaymentMethod({
  card: {
    name: "John Doe",
    number: "4242424242424242",
    cvv: "111",
    exp_month: 1,
    exp_year: 2025,
    address_postal_code: "90210"
  }
});

await cart.checkout();
