TEST SOLUTION

This is the solution to a test proposed as part of a job selection process. The task was to fetch and persist data from two government agencies web pages. The index page should display the headlines and allow us to filter them, with pagination.

The crawler runs in the background. You can close the page or navigate through the results as they come in. Initial fetch could last up to 10 min.

SETUP

You can run this in three different ways. First step is always the same: clone this repo

git clone git@github.com:lcppcoding/dsb_news.git
cd dsb_news

---

From prebuilt images

Run the compose file based on prebuilt image

cd built
docker-compose up

Or in detached mode

cd built
docker-compose up -d

---

From image built from dockerfile

docker-compose up

Same final option '-d' available

---

If using docker

Use

docker-compose stop

To stop container

---

Finally, you can just run the rails application directly. Ruby version is 3.0.2 and DB is Postgresql

git checkout no_docker
bundle install
rails db:create
rails db:migrate
rails s
