XML_Sorter_Microservice

Microservice that parses XML files provides by another microservice. It returns a step array for use on the chat application. It will also calculate the total step time for a operation when given the chat log data.

How to use it

Copy and paste this code into a js file and npm install axios. Once installed run the file in node. There will be a delay on first call because this microservice is on a free heroku app that sleeps after 30 min of inactivity. Changing the index of the accepted commands in the testTextCommand function will grab differant files based on the description. You will get a log of what file it got based on that command and will return shortly after with the instructions on how to do that task.

const axios = require("axios");

// Names of files that contain steps
const filesWithSteps = [
    "sb3125", "sb31038", "sb32054", "sb35034","sb42073", "sb42077", "sb46056", "sb49040",

// Use phrase from user to get a file that fits description

// Test how a user can say something and the microservice handles the rest

    console.log("Input phrase:", command)
    getFileNum(command).then(res=>{
        console.log("File name from phrase:", res.data);

            console.log("Step info from phrase:", info.data);
        });
