bethsebian/rails_engine

Project Description

In this project, you will use Rails and ActiveRecord to build a JSON API which exposes the SalesEngine data schema.

The project requirements are listed below:

• Learning Goals
• Technical Expectations
• Evaluation

Learning Goals

• Learn how to to build Single-Responsibility controllers to provide a well-designed and versioned API.
• Learn how to use controller tests to drive your design.
• Use Ruby and ActiveRecord to perform more complicated business intelligence.

Technical Expectations

• All endpoints will expect to return JSON data
• All endpoints should be exposed under an api and version (v1) namespace (e.g. /api/v1/merchants.json)
• JSON responses should included ids only for associated records unless otherwise indicated (that is, don't embed the whole associated record, just the id)
• Prices are in cents, therefore you will need to transform them in dollars. (12345 becomes 123.45)
• Remember that for a JSON string to be valid, it needs to contain a key and a value.

Data Importing

• You will create an ActiveRecord model for each entity included in the sales engine data.
• Your application should include a rake task which imports all of the CSV's and creates the corresponding records.
