Introduction

This project is a RESTful API built using Ruby on Rails, focused solely on providing back-end functionality with no front-end interface. The API allows full CRUD operations for both Users and Offices, enabling creation, updating, retrieval, and deletion of records.

You can find the postman collection here https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/13192503/2sAXqngQcf#auth-info-8736b024-4486-4927-a9cf-59d6252055ae

Key Features:

• CRUD for Users and Offices: The API provides endpoints to manage users and offices. Each entity can be created, updated, retrieved, and deleted through RESTful API requests.

• JWT Authentication: Secure access to the API is managed through JWT (JSON Web Token) authentication. This ensures that only authenticated users can access protected resources. To log in, use the default credentials:

  • Email: [email protected]
  • Password: 12345678

• Many-to-Many Relationship:

  • Users and Offices are connected via a many-to-many relationship. This means:
    • A user can belong to multiple offices.
    • An office can have multiple users associated with it.
  • The relationship is managed via a join table, allowing flexible assignment of users to offices and vice versa.

• Tests cases:

  • Users
  • Offices
  • OfficeUsers
  • Tests can be run in the 6. Running Tests topic

Authentication:

• JWT tokens are issued upon login and must be included in the Authorization header for accessing protected routes.
• Example login credentials are provided for an admin user, but the API allows the creation of additional users through the user management endpoints.

This API is designed to be easily integrated into other services or front-end applications, offering a solid foundation for managing user and office data securely and efficiently.
