DAV (Decentralized Autonomous Vehicles) is a new foundation working to build an open-source infrastructure for autonomous vehicles (cars, drones, trucks, robots, and all the service providers around them) to communicate and transact with each other over blockchain.

As an organization that believes in building a large community of open-source contributors, we often create issues like this one to help people take their first few steps into the world of open source.

How you can help

The Issue

Create tests for ride-hailing/NeedParams using jest.

You need to create tests to check that the serialize and deserialize methods work as expected.

Please use the test file for class NeedParams as a basis for your new code.

• Function serialize in class NeedParams must return a JSON object that contains all properties defined in the NeedParams instance.

• Function deserialize in class NeedParams receives a JSON string and must initialize all the properties of the NeedParams instance with the values in the JSON string.

needParams1.desrialize(needParams2.serialize()) == needParams2 must therefore always be true.

NOTE: Some names are changed between protocol string representation of instance properties:

• location is internally represented as { lat , lon } but serialized as { latitude , longitude }
• Private properties are internally prefixed with _ but serialized without the prefix. i.e. _protocol becomes protocol

Hi I have coded the changes but the build is failing on Travis for the following commands :

1. tsc
2. typedoc
3. create-dist

on my local, these commands are working. Can you please check on this?

[mariolo1985]

Hi @srdmathur, the create-dist command outputs new files that the build is looking for and it is failing there. Good work with the tests! I have merged your changes.
