Jumpstart Labs Assignment Link - Original assignment page for the project.

Traffic Spy is an application that keeps track of various statistics related to user access of various websites. Our app uses a Sinatra controller, an ActiveRecord database interface, and a Postgres database.

Goals:

Our main goals for the project were to become familiar with both Sinatra, HTTP requests, and ActiveRecord, as well as become more comfortable with Git workflow and Waffle.io as a workflow management tool

Usage:

Our app responds to post requests sent from the terminal. Follow the instructions below to use:

• Run ./setup.sh.
• Run shotgun to start the app.
• Run ./test.sh to run sample curl commands. This will populate the db with sample web traffic data.
• Run rake test to run test suite.

When adding a new table

• drop the db
• create table in new migration
• in new migration, add foreign key for new table to payload table
• add has_many and belongs_to or other relationships to payload and new model
• add your table to params_converter.rb
• add your table to payload handler in #run_child_tables
