Overview

The Echo application is designed using the Ruby on Rails framework. It responds to dynamic requests by matching predefined endpoints stored in the database. When a request matches a defined endpoint, the application returns a custom response with headers, status code, and body based on the endpoint configuration. If no matching endpoint is found, it returns a 404 with a "Endpoint not found" error message.

Setup

1. Enter the project directory:

   cd project-directory

2. Install the specified gems:

   bundle install

3. Create the database:

   rails db:create

4. Run the database migrations:

   rails db:migrate

5. Start the Rails server:

   rails s

The application will now be running at http://localhost:3000.

Testing

The Echo application uses RSpec for testing. Make sure the test database is created and migrated.

1. To run all tests, follow these steps:

   rspec spec

This will run all the tests within the spec folder.

Next Steps

• Application cleanup - remove redundant parts of code after initialing Rails project

• Refactor Model Validations - in order to keep the models small and maintainable, refactor complex validation methods, replace it with json-schema approach.
