README

Setup:

1. Clone the repo
2. Install your gems
3. run 'rails db:create'
4. run 'rails db:migrate'
5. run 'rails db:seed'

After seeding the database you should have 3 Accounts, 10 Members and 4 Addresses.

3rd API Party Integration

Lets prototype a 3rd party API integration. Here are the requirements:

We’ll use a Bearer token to authenticate all our POST & GET requests by adding it into headers. We'll supply you with the token via email and you can send it over in an Authorization header. We’ll need to accommodate these endpoints:

• POST - create primary member
  • This takes the below payload and creates a Primary Member
• POST - create dependent member
  • This takes the below payload and creates a Dependent Member
• GET - retrieve member
  • Simply retrieves a Member via the external_id field (which you get to define)

Endpoint Information:

Payload Notes:

You'll need to define the external_id field. The only restrictions are it must be an integer, and its unique. This will act as a primary key for the Member object. The address fields need to be populated with a 'home' address. This distinction is found on the Address object under the is_type attribute. Members can have both a home and a mailing address. If a dependent does not have a home address, then we will use the primary's home address.

• POST#create for primary members:
  • URL: http://cratebind-challenge-api.com/memd/members
  • All fields are required except street_2
  • Response will be the member
  • Payload:

        {
          member: { 
            external_id:    integer,
            relationship:   integer,    # Valid value:    18
            first_name:     string,
            last_name:      string,
            gender:         string,     # Valid values:   "M" or "F"
            plancode:       string,     # Valid value:    "11AA22BB"
            street_1:       string,
            street_2:       string,
            city:           string,
            state:          string,     # Example values: "FL" or "NY"
            zipcode:        string,
            dob:            date,
            benefit_start:  date
          }
        }

• POST#create for dependent members:
  • URL: http://cratebind-challenge-api.com/memd/members/:primary_external_id
  • Response will be the member
  • Payload: The payload is identical to POST#create for primary members with this exception

        {
          relationship:   integer,    Valid value:    19
        }

• GET#retrieve member:
  • URL: http://cratebind-challenge-api.com/memd/members/:id
  • Response will be the member

Feel free to construct this integration however you like. When we are finished, we'll use the Rails console to interact with the API
