Objective

Write a simple Ruby on Rails app that allows the user to create and view articles. Use Acceptance-Unit Test cycle and outside-in approach.

Learning objectives from Craft Academy

• Learn about Ruby on Rails

  • structure of a RoR application
  • params
  • routes (resources, members, etc)
  • most common helpers
  • migrations
  • CRUD controller actions

• Learn about the Model-View-Controller pattern

• Learn about how to use tests (High level acceptance tests and Low level unit tests) to drive the development process.

AUT Cycle

1. Write a high-level (outside) business value example that goes red
2. Write a lower-level (inside) example for the first step of implementation that goes red
3. Implement the minimum code to pass that lower-level example, see it go green
4. Write the next lower-level RSpec example pushing towards passing step 1
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the high-level test (1) goes green
6. Start over by writing a new high-level test

Weekend challenge

• Read Devise documentation
• Add a login functionality
• Only allow logged in user to view articles
  • Feature test
  • Unit tests
• Make an WIP pull request towards development branch
