Abstract

This program is used to add CRUD functionality to a BE API application. This can be used to build a database that FE developers can use rather than hard coding their own data.

• Ruby version: ruby 3.2.2

Learning Goals

We aimed to gain a deeper understanding of servers, SQL, ActiveRecord, and learning the back end properties of building an application.

Specifically:

• Expose an API
• Use serializers to format JSON responses
• Test API exposure
• Use SQL and AR to gather data
• Breaking down a problem into small steps
• Practice individual research (articles, videos, mentors)

Installation

1. Fork and clone this repo in a new directory.
2. Connect to an API platform (Postman or a similar platform).
3. In your CLI run rails db:{create,migrate,seed}.
4. In your CLI run rails server.
5. In your API Platform of choice, connect to the server and interact with data with HTTP Methods to suite individual needs.

Testing

• For RSpec coverage run: bundle exec rspec spec/requests
• For visualization of SimpleCov run: open coverage/index.html
