In this project, we're set up a simple Rails API-only-application. Rails API-only-applications are slimmed down compared to traditional Rails web applications.

Test Driven Development of a RESTful JSON API With Rails

• Ruby v2.7.2
• Ruby on Rails v6.0.3.2
• RSpec-Rails for testing

The API will expose the following RESTful endpoints.

To get a local copy up and running follow these simple example steps.

Ruby: 2.6.5 Rails: 6.0.3.2 Postgres: >=9.5

$ git clone https://github.com/acushlakoncept/books-api-article-part1.git
$ cd books-api-article-part1

Install gems with:

bundle install

Setup database with:

make sure you have postgress sql installed and running on your system

   rails db:create
   rails db:migrate
   rails db:seed

Start server with:

    rails server

Open http://localhost:3000/ in your browser.

Deploying to a live server like Heroku is easy, make sure you have the necessary credentials setup on your local machine

heroku create
heroku rename app-new-name
git push heroku $BRANCH_NAME:master 

if you are already in master branch no need to add $BRANCH_NAME, just use git push heroku master

heroku run rails db:migrate
heroku run rails db:seed
heroku open

Enjoy your newly deployed rails API
