Pantry Finder API

Public API that exposes select tables from the PantryTrak datasource

Built and deployed using the Ruby on Jets framework

Prerequisites

Setup

From the pantry-finder-api folder

bundle install # Install dependencies
./bin/setup_dev_db # Seed development and test databases

Local development

Unit Tests

bundle exec rspec

Development server

bundle exec jets server

Console

bundle exec jets console

Updating the schema file

This api exposes an existing data source. From time to time, new tables or columns are added to the source database. The db/schema.rb file needs to be kept in sync when this happens. It's also nice to take a fresh dump of the db at that time to make local development easier.

DB_HOST=<rds_host> DB_USER=<user> DB_PASS=<password> DB_NAME=freshtrak_public bundle exec jets db:schema:dump

rm ./setup/seed.sql.zip
mysqldump -h <rds_host> -u <user> -p<password> freshtrak_public > setup/seed.sql
zip setup/seed.sql.zip setup/seed.sql
rm setup/seed.sql

Deployment

This project is deployed using the jets cli. Under the hood it creates nested CloudFormation stacks. The relevant configuration files are at config/application.rb and config/environments/*. Environment variables are set using the .env.* files.
