Little Shop of Hors d'Oeuvres is a group project developed as part of Backend Mod 2 at the Turing School of Software and Design. The assignment was to create a fictitious e-commerce platform where users could register to place items into a shopping cart and 'check out'. Merchant users needed to be able to mark items as 'fulfilled', and admin users could mark orders as 'complete'. Each user role needed to have access to some or all CRUD functionality for application models.
Mod 2 of the backend program trains students to build out web applications in Ruby. Specific goals of the Little Shop project included: advanced Rails routing, including nested resources and namespacing; advanced ActiveRecord usage; practice with HTML and CSS; use of session management; as well as authentication, authorization, and separation of user roles and permissions.

Little Shop of Hors d'Oeuvres is especially proud of the use of partials to keep its code DRY and its styling consistent. The app relies heavily on ActiveRecord for database queries of intermediate complexity, and it successfully implements Authorization.
All tests were built using RSpec and Capybara, with FactoryBot and Faker implemented for seed data.
To run the tests, simply clone down the repository and run the command: rspec
Tests are divided by models and features, with feature tests generally sub-divided by user view. Little Shop of Hors d'Oeuvres is proud to operate with 100% test coverage of all models, and we ask contributors to help us maintain this standard.
