About This App (Rails 4 Diving In)

---

A simple tool useful during the development of apps that integrate with external services, such as http clients, webhooks, etc. It provides these services with an endpoint to which they can send requests and notifications.

http[some url]/[endpoint

The endpoint is defined dynamically and can be arbitrary

Requests are saved into a database and can be viewed via endpoint/requests to view all requests listed in descending order by creation date or endpoint/request/ to view individual requests

The root url gives more detail about this tool

Features

---

Live updates while viewing ‘[endpoint]/requests’ without page refresh

A simple mechanism to allow for calling controller action specific javascript

Used custom middleware for capturing requests

Test Driven Development

Deployed to heroku (works on heroku as well)
