# Get Tracking info from Courier
[](https://travis-ci.org/kaizhu256/aftership-challenge?branch=unstable)
## Notes on implementation by kaizhu256
- revamped lib/index.js to perform asynchronous io for better performance
- revamped lib/test.js to account for asynchronous tests
- added automated travis-ci testing
- most of the implementation code is located in lib/trackAsync.js
- expand test case to include:
- usps('9102999999302024326992')
- usps('9405903699300184125060')
- usps('9400109699939938223564')
- usps('9374889949033131111143')

The goal of this challenge is to get the tracking information from the courier's system.
There are 3 tests:

## The Output Format
The first thing you should do is read `test/index.js`. It is the **canonical reference**. As long as your crawler correctly implements the reference tests, it is considered a correct solution.
# Usage
## Instructions
1. Clone this repository to your own Github `public` repository and development machine. Do NOT fork, as other candidates would be able to see your solution. Do preserve commit history so it is easy for us to add your repository as a remote.
2. Send us a link to the public repository you used and an estimate of how long you will take
3. Run `npm install`
4. Implement `Courier` in `lib/index.js`
5. Ensure all tests pass in node via `npm test`
6. When finished, send us an email to ask for a review
7. You may modify the test case, or using other tracking number. as the tracking number in the test case may be expired.
## Hints
* Before starting, try to see how AfterShip API work, you will get a better idea what tracking info should return.
* You can use ANY method to get the tracking result, including API, web crawler, or even you paid someone else to code for you. LoL
## Scoring
There is no scoring at all.
What we want to know is HOW do you solve the problems.
However,
**You will be graded on how easy-to-{read,maintain,verify} your code and documentation are.** Really think from the perspective of what would happen if we had to actually integrate your code into our production environment.
Ideally your solution is **easily extensible** as we add additional types of test cases.
