🚲 Boris Bikes 🚲

This is me redoing the Boris Bikes tutorial from Makers Academy without the tutorial; only doing it from the users stories.

Boris Bikes is a bikes rental system in London, that allow users to rent and drop off bikes all over the city.

User stories:

As a member of the public,
So that I can get across town,
I'd like to get a working bike from a docking station.

As a member of the public,
So that I am not confused and charged unnecessarily,
I'd like docking stations not to release bikes when there are none available.

As a member of the public,
So that I am not charged for longer than necessary,
I'd like to return a bike to a docking station.

As a member of the public,
So that I reduce the chance of getting a broken bike in future,
I'd like to report a bike as broken when I return it.

As a maintainer of the system,
So that I can manage broken bikes and not disappoint users,
I'd like docking stations not to release broken bikes.

As a maintainer of the system,
So that I can manage broken bikes and not disappoint users,
I'd like docking stations to accept returning bikes (broken or not).

As a maintainer of the system,
So that I can control the distribution of bikes,
I'd like docking stations not to accept more bikes than their capacity.

As a maintainer of the system,
So that I can manage broken bikes and not disappoint users,
I'd like vans to take broken bikes from docking stations and deliver them to garages to be fixed.

As a maintainer of the system,
So that I can manage broken bikes and not disappoint users,
I'd like vans to collect working bikes from garages and distribute them to docking stations.

Objectives of exercise

Learn about Test-driven development, mock doubles and rspec.

Technologies used

• Ruby
• Rspec
• Git

How to run it

git clone git@github.com:GBouffard/Boris-bikes.git
cd Boris-bikes
irb
Dir["./lib/*"].each {|file| require file }

You can now play around in IRB. This is an example of commands that can be used; this example is the cycle for a broken bike to be fixed:

bike = Bike.new
bike.break!
ds = DockingStation.new
ds.dock(bike)
ds.release(bike)
van = Van.new
van.collect_from_ds(bike, ds)
garage = Garage.new
van.release(bike, garage)
garage.fix_a_bike(bike)
garage.release(bike, van)
van.release(bike, ds)

How to run tests

cd Boris-bikes
rake

This is what you should see

Room for improvement:

• The van, garage and docking station have some similar behaviors and as a result, a module can be used to group these behaviours. It's in my things to do.
• I could also remove my comments but still as a learner, I found them useful; I review them from time to time to make sure I will not make these mistakes again.
