BAT, Drupal-based online reservation system
BAT, short for Booking and Availability Management Tools, serves as a robust framework for developers seeking to implement a wide array of availability, reservation, and booking functionalities. Unlike site-building tools, BAT is designed for developers, offering a lean user interface. It functions as a foundational framework, much like Drupal or Drupal Commerce, enabling the creation of specialized solutions for targeted application domains. The BEE module and BEE Hotel module modules demonstrate practical applications of BAT.
Objectives
The primary goals of BAT are to:
- Model Bookable Resources: Allow developers to represent any resource within an application that possesses time-dependent availability. This includes associating pricing with changes in availability, such as booking services or accommodations.
- Establish a Data Model: Supply a consistent data structure for managing the data associated with bookable resources.
- Enable Availability Management: Provide tools to define and control availability states. These tools include user-friendly graphical interfaces (like interactive calendars) and programmatic APIs for automated state changes.
