/fxpotatoweb

Rails app demonstrating the fxpotato gem

Primary LanguageRuby

FxPotatoWeb

Deployed to Heroku here.

Demonstrating the Foreign Exchange currency rates looker-upper. Potato style.

Uses last daily feed from European Central Bank, and exposes a simple interface to get the conversion rates for one currency to another on a given day.

Source code for the gem is here.

Available on RubyGems.org

And on DockerHub

Running the site

Setup the site like any rails app, with a strong bundle install, and a npm install for good measure.

From there it should be a simple bundle exec rails s to get the app up and running locally.

Docker!

If you have docker and docker-compose installed, you still have to run the setup commands, but then a meagre rake docker_run will start the app up in a container with a postgres container buddy which it completely ignores.
