Calorie Counter Demo

An example app to demonstrate my knowledge of backend APIs and frontend single page apps consuming JSON.

Backend:

• RailsAPI
• Warden (authentication)
• Pundit (authorization, e.g user VS admin)

Frontend:

• Angular.JS
• CoffeeScript

Testing:

• RSpec

It uses HTTP basic auth to the /users/login endpoint which returns a token. The token is then used to authenticate all further requests with a similar HTTP token auth header.

Run

bundle install
bundle exec rake db:setup
bundle exec rails s

Then visit http://localhost:3000 in your browser.

Sample login:

http://localhost:3000/#/login
Admin Username: Kai
Standard Username: Kash
Password: Password1

Notes

If this were a real project several modifications should be made:

• Postgres / MySQL instead of SQLite
• Frontend validations
• Custom frontend styles
• Frontend tests
