In this assignment we will be creating an application to look up Farmers Markets and their related vendors, products, and sales. We will use CSV files as our database.

1. Pair up!
2. The individual closest to the center of the room will fork the repo: https://github.com/Ada-Developers-Academy/far_mar
3. Add the second individual as a collaborator
4. Both individuals will clone the repo git clone [YOUR FORKED REPO URL]
5. Both individuals cd into the dir created cd far_mar
6. Both individuals install needed tools (in Terminal.app)

gem install rspec
gem install simplecov

# this updates the global settings for rspec to give output in color
# you only need to do it once, and it won't give you any type of confirmation
echo --color >> ~/.rspec

Start building! (but read on for more info)

There are several CSV data files:

/support/markets.csv
/support/products.csv
/support/vendors.csv
/support/sales.csv

Build classes to query the CSV data including objects and methods listed below. Before going too deeply into the methods listed, start by building a system to read the csv files and turn each row of data into an instance of the corresponding ruby class.

To manage our data classes we will use a file named /lib/far_mar.rb

require 'csv'
require 'time'
require 'lib/market'
# ... require all needed classes

Each of the classes you build will be nested under the FarMar module.

module FarMar
  class Market
    # Your code goes here
  end
end

All this nesting does is name spacing. This is different from inheritance, all this is doing is making the classes we make not collide with a class that another gem might use. For example Sale could easily be defined in many other code bases, but since we namespace is as FarMar::Sale it is now more uniquely named.

Our supporting classes will also live in the /lib/far_mar dir.

The FarMar::Market data, in order in the CSV, consists of:

1. ID
2. Name
3. Address
4. City
5. County
6. State
7. Zip

An individual market has many vendors

The FarMar::Vendor data, in order in the CSV, consists of:

1. ID
2. Name
3. No. of Employees
4. Market_id

Each vendor belongs to a market, the market_id field relates to the FarMar::Market ID field. Each vendor has many products they sell.

The FarMar::Product data, in order in the CSV, consists of:

1. ID
2. Name
3. Vendor_id

Each product belongs to a vendor, the vendor_id field relates to the FarMar::Vendor ID field.

The FarMar::Sale data, in order in the CSV, consists of:

1. ID
2. Amount (in cents)
3. Purchase Time
4. Vendor_id
5. Product_id

Each sale belongs to a vendor AND an product, the vendor_id and product_id fields relates to the FarMar::Vendor and FarMar::Product ID fields

For each of the data classes build the following methods:

• self.all - returns all rows of the CSV file as objects
• self.find(id) - returns the row where the ID field matches the argument

Additional FarMar::Market Methods

• vendors - returns a collection of FarMar::Vendor instances that are associated with the market by the market_id field.

Additional FarMar::Vendor Methods

• market - returns the FarMar::Market instance that is associated with this vendor using the FarMar::Vendor market_id field
• products - returns a collection of FarMar::Product instances that are associated by the FarMar::Product vendor_id field.
• sales - returns a collection of FarMar::Sale instances that are associated by the vendor_id field.
• revenue - returns the the sum of all of the vendor's sales (in cents)
• self.by_market(market_id) - returns all of the vendors with the given market_id

Additional FarMar::Product Methods

• vendor - returns the FarMar::Vendor instance that is associated with this vendor using the FarMar::Product vendor_id field
• sales - returns a collection of FarMar::Sale instances that are associated using the FarMar::Sale product_id field.
• number_of_sales - returns the number of times this product has been sold.
• self.by_vendor(vendor_id) - returns all of the products with the given vendor_id

Additional FarMar::Sale Methods

• vendor - returns the FarMar::Vendor instance that is associated with this sale using the FarMar::Sale vendor_id field
• product - returns the FarMar::Product instance that is associated with this sale using the FarMar::Sale product_id field
• self.between(beginning_time, end_time) - returns a collection of FarMar::Sale objects where the purchase time is between the two times given as arguments

Silver FarMar::Market Methods

• products returns a collection of FarMar::Product instances that are associated to the market through the FarMar::Vendor class.
• self.search(search_term) returns a collection of FarMar::Market instances where the market name or vendor name contain the search_term. For example FarMar::Market.search('school') would return 3 results, one being the market with id 75 (Fox School Farmers FarMar::Market).
• prefered_vendor - returns the vendor with the highest revenue
• prefered_vendor(date) - returns the vendor with the highest revenue for the given date
• worst_vendor - returns the vendor with the lowest revenue
• worst_vendor(date) - returns the vendor with the lowest revenue on the given date

Silver FarMar::Vendor Methods

• self.most_revenue(n) returns the top n vendor instances ranked by total revenue
• self.most_items(n) returns the top n vendor instances ranked by total number of items sold
• self.revenue(date) returns the total revenue for that date across all vendors
• revenue(date) returns the total revenue for that specific purchase date and vendor instance

Silver FarMar::Product Methods

• self.most_revenue(n) returns the top n products instances ranked by total revenue

Gold on All Classes

• self.find_by_x(match) - where X is an attribute, returns a single instance whose X attribute case-insensitive attribute matches the match parameter. For instance, FarMar::Vendor.find_by_name("windler inc") could find a FarMar::Vendor with the name attribute "windler inc" or "Windler Inc".
• self.find_all_by_x(match) - works just like find_by_x but returns a collection containing all possible matches. For example FarMar::Market.find_by_state("WA") could return all of the FarMar::Market object with "WA" in their state field.

Create an additional class to use inheritance for shared methods (find, all).

To run our test suite use:

rspec

Our test suite will run tests to ensure that some of our required methods are implemented correctly.

Note: It will be best to create the basic file for the four supporting classes before running our tests

class FarMar::Market

end

and requiring them in /lib/far_mar.rb.

You will be evaluated on:

• Running rspec from Terminal with no failures
• Code quality (is your code organized and logical)
• Extra credit for additional methods to add neat functionality
• Extra credit for writing additional specs
