Lifen backend app

Implementation of Level 5 of the Lifen test

This level is a little bit different: we are now looking for a live application that helps us manage workers and shift.

We are expecting a link to a hosted application that enable us to:

• add and edit workers
• add and assign shifts
• consult shifts

The application should be as simple as possible (for example, authentication is not expected).

Getting started

To get the Rails server running locally:

• Clone this repo
• bundle install to install all req'd dependencies
• rake db:migrate to make all database migrations
• rake db:seed to populate database with datas
• rails s to start the local server

Code Overview

Dependencies

• trestle - A modern, responsive admin framework for Ruby on Rails

Folders

• app/models - Contains the database models for the application where we can define methods, validations, queries, and relations to other models.
• app/views - Contains templates for generating the JSON output for the API
• app/controllers - Contains the controllers where requests are routed to their actions, where we find and manipulate our models and return them for the views to render.
• config - Contains configuration files for our Rails application and for our database, along with an initializers folder for scripts that get run on boot.
• db - Contains the migrations needed to create our database schema.
