Calories Project

General Remarks

This project is built using rails-api as the backend, using a postgresql database. And a boilerplate of react as the client.

It is currently reachable online at this url.

Running locally

The project can be run locally following these steps in two separate terminal tabs:

Inside the rails folder (calories_rails_api):

1. $ bundle install
2. $ rake db:setup
3. $ rails test
4. $ rails s -p 3001

Inside the react folder (calories_react_client):

1. $ npm install
2. $ npm test
3. $ npm start

The result should be the rails server and the node server running. In your browser you can now navigate to localhost:3000 and see the application live locally.

Postman client

Additionally from the tests done in the rails api, the endpoints can be tested using the following postman client .

To use the postman client you first need to obtain an auth_token using the Sessions#create endpoint. Once you have it, you can pass it in the Authorization header in every request.
