Sift Interview Sandbox

Purpose

This repo is designed to test a few skills

1. Data Modeling
2. Api Design
3. Query Optimization

Setup

Clone the codebase locally and run

  bundle install
  rake db:create

Implementation

A local library needs us to design and implement a checkout system for a new branch. We have some models according to the spec they provided. The solution might require more models than this, the customer just provided a base spec for us to build from

A. Media B. MediaCopy C. User D. Checkout

We need to:

1. Implement the relationships between these models to develop a usable checkout api.
2. Represent those relationships in our application models.
3. Write queries to satisfy the endpoints defined by our application controllers. (They don't need to be restful)

Bonus:

1. Authentication
2. Setup Scripts
3. CRUD Operations for controllers
