Appointment Scheduler

Overview

This was a take-home interview project for a company. It was timboxed to 4 hours. I have since extended it.

• Ask:

  • "Prototype a web application for scheduling an appointment"

• Input:

  • "Given a CSV dataset that contains the active coaches and their weekly schedule of their available hours, Output the following User Stories:"

• Output:

  • As a User, I want to see which coaches I can schedule with.

  • As a User, I want to see what 30 minute timeslots are available to schedule with a particular coach.

  • As a User, I want to book an appointment with a coach at one of their available times.

• Anit-Requirements:

  • You can't do it all. We respect your time, and expect that you will have to make choices and tradeoffs for what is in scope for your deliverable.

  • Don't worry about authentication. Assume a non-authenticated experience to keep things simple.

  • Pick your stack. Choose any libraries that help you produce the highest quality work in the time available.

Stack

• Ruby 2.6.3 (Upgraded from Ruby 2.5.0)
• Rails 6.0.0 (Upgraded from Rails 5.2.1)
• Bootstrap for Responsive layouts (mobile first!)

Heroku

• Rails Appointment Scheduler
• This is on a free Hobby tier so your millage may very.

Pull Requests

I've setup this up, and am developing as I would in a normal Dev environment with other engineers.

This is a public repo (open source) so feel free to push a new branch and create a Pull Request for me with any questions!

• I have been pushing branches and creating PR's on Github (ready for code review):

  

• I have added a couple helpful integrations - CodeClime (Rubocop) and CircleCI (Rspec's):

  

• Making use of inline Todo comments while working through the feature to show progress:

  

• Rebasing my git commits (git rebase -i origin/master) for better clairity in the Git logs:

  

Local Setup

• bundle install
• bundle exec rails db:setup
• bundle exec rails import:all_data:from_csv

Run RSpec's

• bundle exec rspec

• bundle exec rspec -f d --tag ~skip (to skip pending tests)

  

Run Rubcop
