Gems

Devise

I used devise for authentication. The user can sign_up, sign_in, sign_out using Devise's interface. Only email and password are needed.

Pagy

I used pagy to paginate the index views. For those endpoints that need pagination, you should add on the controller method, for example:

@pagy, @records = pagy(User.all)

And in the corresponding view:

<%== pagy_nav(@pagy) %>

Getting Started

1. Make sure that you have Rails 6, PostgreSQL, git cli, and bundle installed.
2. Clone this repo using git clone https://github.com/fdecono/contact-imported.git
3. Run bundle install
4. Run bundle exec rails db:create
5. Run bundle exec rails db:migrate
6. Run bundle exec rails db:seed
7. Check the test are passing running bundle exec rspec
8. Run bundle exec rails s and in your browser navigate to http://localhost:3000
9. You will be able to log in to the App using the following credentials:
   email: [email protected]
password: password
   Or you can sign_up with the credentials you desire.
10. Once you are logged in, click the Choose File button and select the csv_contact_list.csv file at the root of this project. Click the Import Contacts button.

Final Comments

• I was not able to complete the whole assignment, though I tried to end up with a functioanl app, which serves the purpose of importing contacts from a .csv file.
• Regarding the validations, as I could not code them all, at least I wanted to have some of them working.
• It did not find the IIN explanation of the credit cards to be cristal clear , therefore I made a slight modification to the way that attribute is loaded.
• I am not used to using the rails views, most of my coding in RoR has been building APIs, using ActiveModelSerializers and rendering jsons for the frontend to consume. This delayed me quite a bit, but it was a lot of fun reading the docs and applying them to my code! I learnt a few things today, thanks!
