Rails Engine is an E-Commerce Application using a service-oriented architecture. The frontend and backend of this application are separate and communicate via APIs. The main objective of this project is to expose the data that powers the site through various API endpoints that the front end will consume.
- Expose an API
- Test API exposure
- Use serializers to format JSON responses
- Compose advanced ActiveRecord queries to analyze information stored in SQL databases
- Write SQL statements without the assistance of an ORM
