In this group project, Little Shop, our team worked on building an E-Commerce application using service-oriented architecture, where the back and front ends are separate and communicate via APIs.
- Ruby version: 3.2.2
- Rails: 7.4.x
- Database: PostgreSQL
- Additional Gems:
pry, debug, simplecov, rspec-rails, shoulda-matchers, faker, factory_bot - Testing/Sending HTTP requests: Postman
- Configuration:
rails new little_shop -T -d="postgresql" --api - Database initialization:
rails db:create db:migrate db:seed db:schema:dump - Run the test suite:
bundle exec rspec - Run your development server:
rails s
- Use ActiveRecord and SQL to write queries that deal with one-to-many database relationships
- Expose API endpoints to CRUD database resources
- Validate models and handle sad paths for invalid data input
- Test both happy and sad path functionality based on JSON contracts
- Use MVC to organize code effectively, limiting data logic in controllers and serializers
- Time Management
- Breaking down large projects into small pieces
- Breaking down a problem into small steps
