This was a take-home assignment for a job I had applied for.

Simple Calendar Events

Easily access your Google Calendar events for today, classified by calendar names.

Deployed here: https://calendars-vc.herokuapp.com/

Features

• When a user connects the Google account, all the calendars and events are imported to the App.
• The subsequent events which get created/updated/deleted are sync'd to the app automatically

Implementation Details

• Ruby on Rails app with PostreSQL as database
• Implements a basic authentication system using Google OAuth. (without passwords)
• Uses OAuth2 flow for authorization to user's resources (calendars/events)
• Implements a service to talk with Google Calendars API which handles:
  • fetching calendars for a user
  • fetching events for a calendar of user
  • registering webhooks for listening to changes to events/calendars
• Does not use background processing jobs for any tasks yet
  • potential to use for some use-cases
• Uses Rspec for testing
  • Test coverage still low
