AppCentral Status

A status page for a fake website called AppCentral

Features

• Index page with most recent status followed by a list with the previous five.

• Form to update status prefilled with latest status values

• Styled with Bootstrap CSS

• Run migrations

bundle exec rails db:migrate RAILS_ENV=test

bundle exec rails t

Starting server

• Run migrations

bundle exec rails db:migrate

• Start Rails server

Next steps

• Add authentication and authorization for the editing page
• Use FactoryGirl, or other gem, instead of fixtures for better control of test objects creation
  • For example, in some tests I clear all status messages to test how the page handles that. It would be better to not create the objects in the first place.
• Make controller actions respond to JSON requests so app can work as an API too.
