Team Management Application

Setup

To build the docker image and create the application container, run:

docker build .
docker-compose up

Open a new terminal window to create the database and run the migrations:

docker-compose run web rails db:create
docker-compose run web rails db:migrate

Run the rails seeds to populate the database with external data:

docker-compose run web rails db:seed

Connect to localhost:3000 in the browser to see the application running

Development Approach

1. Reproduce the legacy structure to make the team management application more realistic
2. Create a new entity called Role and associate it with the Membership entity
3. Create new controllers to handle the new requests related to role and membership
4. In order to avoid bloated controllers, create actions to handle the business logic described in the challenge document

Development steps

1. Model the database with all necessary relationships among the tables
2. Create models for each entity, add validations and write unit tests to them
3. Create and test each controller
4. Create and test each action
5. Write the seed.rb file. The database gets populated by running it
6. Dockerize the application
7. Test the application entirely with Postman

Validations

• Role name must be unique and mustn't be blank
• Membership must be unique. A user can't join a team more than once

Suggestions for improvement

• Paginate users and teams list to improve perfomance, since requests might become slower with the ever-increasing number of teams and users
• Assign more roles to a team member, as there might be short-handed teams for any reason
