"hello world" as a service

Primary LanguageRuby

hello endpoint

This Ruby on Rails app offers "hello world" as a service.

Installation

gem install bundler
bundle install

To start the server:

rails server

To test the server:

> ./test-curl-json.sh
{"message": "Good morning"}

More expected behavior (not implemented yet):

> ./test-curl.sh
<p>Hello, World</p>

Goals

Part 1 - Writing an HTTP endpoint

  • accept GET and POST requests
  • for GET request on /:
    • no Accept header, expected response: <p>Hello, World</p>
    • Accept header includes application/json, expected response: {"message": "Good morning"}

Part 2 - Scripts and Unit tests for validating correct behavior

  • command line scripts for testing - see test-curl.sh and test-curl-json.sh
  • include unit tests, like rspec

Status

Incredibly incomplete!
