Rails Interview Project

This repository contains a simple rails application that we use for interviews at HomeStars.

Instead of a using a generic blog or todo list type of an application we want to work on a concept that relates to HomeStars' products and can be accomplished in a interview setting.

Setup

1. Clone this repository.
2. To ensure everything is set up correctly, run:
   1. bundle install
   2. rails test or rails spec (depending on what you prefer minitest or rspec. Both available for you to choose.)

Intro

This app is an API for serving-up/capturing interview questions as part of homeowner submitting a Service Request to our application. Homeowners submit a Service Request based on a task ("Air Ducts & Vents - Clean", "Tree Trimming")

An Interview is a completed set of responses. A response joins a question and the answer selected by the homeowner.

This app uses jsonapi-rb to serialize JSON responses. You can find an example of a simple GET endpoint in the TasksController, and you can find the related serializer in the app/serializable directory.

Tooling

• JSON-API is a convention for writing JSON endpoints.
• jsonapi-rb-rails is a library for serializing ActiveRecord objects and their relationships according to the JSON-API specs.
