This is a prototype app for filtering NYC Arrest/Arraignment data based on a flexible set of criteria.

This application relies on Ruby version 2.0.0-p0, Bundler and MongoDB. Systems vary widely and we'll defer to setup instructions for your platform.

Application configuration happens largely through the use of a few different environment variables. We provide a sample.env file that you can fill out with your own settings.

cp sample.env .env
$EDITOR .env

We use bundler to track application dependencies, the usual command will get everything set up.

bundle

If you have a set of sample data that you are able to use you can load it in with the following command.

foreman run bundle exec thor data:load /Your/Path/Here

For people without the data set you can generate a sample set that fills things out enough for users to see how the application works.

foreman run bundle exec thor data:generate_samples 500

The simplest way is to use Rack's built in server.

foreman run bundle exec rackup

Alternatively, you can use Guard for auto-restart during development. The server gets restarted every time a file changes:

bundle exec guard

You can also use pry from the application root directory for an interactive console.
