Interface with a SystemLogistics Automated Shelving System.
Initially support will be limited to storing and retreiving items.
The Modula storage units do not provide an API, but will monitor a MySQL database and look for changes. This app attempts to bridge the gap between your main app, and the storage unit.
Items are stored by posting json order data to /orders. Multiple items can be included.
When an order is received, the following steps occur:
- An item record is created.
This is how the modula knows what you are storing.
- An item compartment record is created.
This tells the modula which type of compartment needs to be used.
- An Order Item is created for each item.
This allows you to send multiple items to be stored in a single request.
- An Order is created.
Your modula will begin to process the request.

- Specs are organized into Models & Request specs (/spec/models, /spec/request)
- Model Factories are located in /spec/factories.rb
Deploys are handled by capistrano.
$ cap ENV deploy:setup
$ cap ENV deploy:check

These are some of the tools we're using as a convention in this project
- RSpec:: We use this for all of our testing. http://rspec.info
- Factory Girl:: This is used for easily creating models from tests. http://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_girl
