Build an Appointment Scheduler using Node, Firebase and the Vonage Messages API
summary
Builds a working Node + Express app that stores slots in Firebase Realtime Database, imports an initial JSON with three slots, and writes bookings in real time. Uses firebase-admin, dotenv, uuid to generate cancel codes, and Vonage to send SMS confirmations; confirmation text includes the slot datetime and a UUID code used to cancel. Demonstrates endpoint logic that checks availability, writes to DB, and removes by code, and notes the Messages API channel.send broke in demo so the SMS API fallback works.
