Christchurch Ruby Refactoring Night

Contact Sync Refactoring App

This is a simple app that renders a list of contacts from the database, and allows a user to sync these with Xero.

There are basically 4 files to refactor:

• app/contacts/contacts_controller.rb
• app/views/contacts/index.html.erb
• app/models/contacts.rb
• app/jobs/contact_pull_job.rb

Most but not quite all of the behaviour is spec'd, so while your refactoring should be fairly safe, its possible you could introduce a bug in and the suite is still green. Don't worry too much, it's the thought that counts.

Getting Started

This was developed under Ruby 2.4.1, but should work for any modern Ruby.

1. Get the secrets file and put it in config/secrets.yml
2. Check everything is working:

# start postgres server somewhere
bin/setup && bin/rspec

3. Run the server if you like: bin/rails server
