About

• This is the technical challenge portion for the backend developer internship position at Shopify.
• This project is an Encyclopedia where users can perform the basic CRUD functionalities on the site.

Changes made

• In order to complete the project the following changes were made:
  • Model for the Article was added
  • Index, show, edit, and update views were added
  • Article controller was added
  • Styling was added to different components
  • Ruby version was changed to 3.3.0

Result

• This implementation passes all the tests that were integrated

Improvements

• Due to my workload from work and school, I was not able to spend much time on this project. However, if I had time I would make the following changes to the project:
  • Integrate Bootstrap for styling: Even though I tried to get it working, it did not work properly
  • Improve UI: As of now, the page is very plain and not user friendly therefore improving the UI will improve the user experience
  • Search result display: I would use a list to display the matching article right below the search bar and allow the user to click on it

Notes

• Thank you so much for your time and consideration, this project was a good learning project for me to get familiar with Ruby on
