Create a small Ruby on Rails application that can do basic inventory management for a car dealership manager (the user). We will not be judging based on front-end appearance only functionality and best practices, there’s no need to include a front-end framework. We expect a simple setup for the database and server, this is intended to be a short exercise for discussion during your interview.
- Users can log in and can have type “user” or “admin”
- Users can view the inventory of cars and their details
- “Admin” users can add and delete cars from the inventory
- Cars are located at a dealership, there may be multiple dealerships
About the cars
- Have a monetary price. The price depreciates 2% every month.
- Can be new or used
Please include at least two tests
- You may choose which kind of tests to write (unit, integration...)
This project uses asdf.
Follow the installation instructions
After installation you need to follow these steps:
# Add ruby plugin on asdf
$ asdf plugin add ruby
# Install ruby plugin
$ asdf install ruby 2.7.4
# Set the default ruby for the project
$ asdf local ruby 2.7.4# install bundler
$ gem install bundler
# run bundle to install gems
$ bundleusername: admin password: secret
The project was built following the pattern of a Rails project. I first built the car routine to be delivered to the admin users. So they can evaluate and give feedback if the data is available for the cars.
Then I implemented an authentication in a simple way so that the project could be made available to common users without requiring authentication.
In the next step I would develop the dealership part so users could know where the car is located.
In the next step I would develop more complete authentication.
