Bookings Example: IFTMBF Adapter

This example demonstrates how to use the github.com/looksocial/edifact package as a dependency and implement a custom adapter for the IFTMBF EDIFACT message type, converting it to a Booking model suitable for database storage.

Usage

1. Run go mod tidy in this directory to fetch dependencies.
2. Run the example:

go run main.go

You should see the parsed Booking struct as JSON output.

Custom Adapter

• See edifact_adapter/iftmbf.go for the custom adapter implementation.
• See models/booking.go for the Booking struct.

You can extend this pattern for other EDIFACT message types and models as needed.
