Basic racing cars API sample app

The application is using Docker so simply run:

docker-compose up

This starts up two services: the Rails API and the Postgres DB.

Since Docker is used we need to first start the applicaton as mentioned above. Then start a terminal session in the running api container like so:

docker exec -it api bash

After that we can run any rails related commands in the running container.

Also check the Makefile for other useful commands.

Create the database and add seed data using the standard rake commands and then navigate to http://localhost:3000/api/v1/cars/lamborghini_aventador to view the JSON response from the endpoint.

Try also passing a track name as follows: http://localhost:3000/api/v1/cars/lamborghini_aventador?track=Nurburgring

From within a running Docker container session run the specs as follows

rake spec

The application was built in Docker using the following command:

docker-compose run api bundle exec rails new . --force --no-deps --skip-test-unit --api --database=postgresql
