Small TDD driven practice app to build a Rails RESTful API.

• Contains API controller for : users
• Includes full rspec test for basic API CURD
• No authentication features included so far (I plan to have them at a later stage)
• Intended to be a simple boilerplate for future applications

• Rails 6.0.3.3
• Ruby: 2.6.5
• Postgresql: 1.2.3
• Factory Bot Rails

• The application runs in a development environment with a Postgresql DB
• Please install pg DB, and create a user/pass for development account.
• app user pre-configured: devuser
• It is highly recommended to store you password in an environment variable at login. In a development environment, I use the same password for all my apps. In my case, I have a macOS environment, and I use this command to load the password in the .bash_profile

echo 'export APPNAME_DATABASE_PASSWORD="PostgreSQL_Role_Password"' >> ~/.bash_profile

• Configurations must be hosted @ /config/database.yml

  username: devuser
  password: <%= ENV['APPNAME_DATABASE_PASSWORD'] %>

• Clone Repository
• Run bundle install

rails db:create

rails db:migrate

/rspec
