BANK TECHNICAL TEST

A tech test from week 10, Makers.

Written in Ruby (https://ruby-doc.org/)

How to install the app

Fork this repository, and then clone into either an existing or new directory via the command line.

Dependencies

The app uses the following gems:

• rspec for testing,
• timecop to help account for time in tests,
• simple-cov to assess test coverage,
• rubocop for linting.

Having cloned the repository and switched into the project directory from the command line, run

bundle install

in order to install these gems.

Using the app

Once the repository has been cloned and gems installed, open an REPL environment, for example IRB:

irb

Load the app:

load 'lib/account.rb'

Now you can create an account via the command line:

account = Account.new

Make a deposit:

account.deposit(1000)

Make a withdrawal:

account.withdraw(500)

(Note that you cannot withdraw more than the account balance - no overdrafts here!)

Check your balance:

account.balance

See your transaction history:

account.print_statement

Running tests

Make sure dependencies are installed, then run rspec from the command line:

rspec

(For more information, visit http://rspec.info/.)

Running the linter

Make sure dependencies are installed, then run rubocop from the command line:

rubocop

The linter can also be customised via the .rubocop.yml file.

Approach

The app has four classes:

• Account: this class stores a balance and transactions, and is the controller class.
• Transaction: this class stores transaction amounts and dates.
• TransactionFormatter: this class formats transactions for a statement print-out.
• Statement: this class prints out a formatted history of transactions for an account.
