API

This library supports es5 and typescript. This documentation is based off the bundled es5 file (bundles/bhtp-url.js)

the Link object

The link object holds all information about the integration and is the top level object in this package. It contains the following properties:

var agentCode;
var campaignId;
var productId;

var enableProdMode;

var trip;
var flights;
var travelers;
var policyholder;

function addFlight(flightObject);
function addTraveler(travelerObject);

function generateLink();

This information is used to identify the integration

• agentCode: the id of the agent who is referring the user to the site. Used to track commission.
• campaignId: an optional id allowing the integrating system to uniquely identify where there the reference is coming from.
• productId: if a specific product is requested, it can be specified here.
• enableProdMode: when finished testing, set this to true.

This is the insurable information

• trip: information about the trip to insure. Description of the model is below.
• flights: information about the flights to insure. Description of the model is below.
• travelers: information about the travelers to insure -- this does not include the policyholder. Description of the model is below.
• policyholder: information about the traveler holding the policy. Description of the model is below.

Generating a useable link

// true/false in the last constructor propertyindicatse enableProdMode
var data = new bhtp.Link('AA0057', 'TestPromo', 'ExactCare', false);

// Trip
data.trip.destinationCountryIsoCode2 = 'GB';
data.trip.residencePostalCode = '54481';
data.trip.departureDate = '2016-09-24';
data.trip.returnDate = '2016-10-10';
data.trip.initialPaymentDate = '2016-06-15';
data.trip.policyholderEmail = '[email protected]';
data.trip.totalTravelerCount = 3;

// flights
data.addFlight(new bhtp.Flight('2016-09-24', 1234, 'DL', 'PNS', 'ATL'));
data.addFlight(new bhtp.Flight('2016-09-27', 2665, 'AA', 'ATL', 'LAX'));

// policyholder
data.policyholder.tripCost = 100;
data.policyholder.age = 34;

// travelers
var t1 = new bhtp.Traveler();
t1.tripCost = 100;
t1.age = 28;
data.addTraveler(t1);

var t2 = new bhtp.Traveler();
t2.tripCost = 200;
t2.birthdate = '1986-09-07';
data.addTraveler(t2);

// generate the link
var link = data.generateLink();
