Overview

Welcome to the Whop Wheel Rails Project.

In this project, you will be building a Rails application that allows users to spin a wheel to win prizes. The attached repo is a blank, Rails 8 project. No code has been written for you.

To see the wheel in action, view this link https://whop.com/whop-eng-interview/

Setup

1. Create a GitHub Codespace:

   • Click the "Code" button on the GitHub repository page.
   • Select the "Codespaces" tab.
   • Click "Create codespace on main".

2. Once the Codespace is ready:

   • The project will be automatically set up for you.
   • Run bundle install to install the dependencies.

3. Start the Rails server:

   • Run rails server to start the Rails server. It will run on port 3000.

You can also run this all on your local machine if you'd like. You just need Rails and Ruby installed. It uses a SQLite database.

Instructions

Your job is to build a REST API that will be used by the frontend to spin the wheel and display the results.

Requirements

• Prizes can have different probabilities and limited stock. For example, we might want to give away only one PS5 a day but 10 Chipotle gift cards a day.
• Users get 1 spin a day, but it possible for the Whop team to give a user more spins if we want.
• A wheel should have multiple losers on it in order to make it more interesting.
• The user should see a list of all winners and their recently won prizes.
