# MicroBlogger
This is a Rails 5.2.n API stack.
## Local dev setup
Be sure to have ruby (2.5.n) installed. RVM is
recommended to manage ruby. This dev stack uses `guard` for
rapid style and test feedback. It is strongly recommended to
have it running for every dev change/session.
### Initial setup
* rvm install ruby-2.5.1
* bundle install
* set up application.yml
* copy `config/application.yml.sample` to `config/application.yml`
* edit values as needed
* rake db:create
* rake db:migrate
* rake db:fixtures:load
There is a shell script in the root that will rebuild both
the local dev and test databases which executes the last
three setup steps:
`./rebuild-dev-db.sh`
Currently fixture files are used to seed local and test dev
instead of the `rake db:seed` pattern.
### dev session
* `bundle exec guard`
* do work until tests pass.
* `quit` to exit guard
The guard config file is `/Guardfile`.
With (almost) every file save, associated tests to that file
are ran, if successful the whole suite is then executed.
After the test suite `rubocop` kicks off with
auto-correction flags.
Finally simple cover reports are updated.
## other notes
