iitbbsguide's Issues

Move Nightawks project to dsciitbbs

Nightawks

Show list of holidays as a Carousel

Currently, the list of upcoming holidays is provided as just simple text. It will be better if it can be shown in a carousel instead.

Support Emergency Calling feature

Support request like Call Ambulance to contact Institute Ambulance Service and other similar requests which may be required during emergency.

Show timetable on the basis of Roll Number

Add another endpoint in IITBBSNewsAPI to give timetable on providing branch and year. Query this endpoint from iitbbsguide and parse roll number to make the corresponding request to API.

Add dynamic Map route

For now, when the map preview shows up, it only shows the marker to destination. We need it to show the complete route from our location to destination.

Idea: Use directions API (https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin={Start}&destination={End}&mode=driving&key=YOUR_API_KEY) to get the driving route (in result.overview_polyline.points ), which is encoded. The function to decode it is already in index.js, and you need to send a request to maps static API (http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?sensor=false&zoom=16&size=400x400&path=The_decoded_path_from_above}&key=YOUR_API_KEY) to show the image on the Basic Card already there in dialogflow

Requirements: Synchronous operation is not allowed. Use Promises and asynchronous operation to chain the API calls and then return the results.
