This is a Rails app exposing an API endpoint fetching the shortest route through an ordered list of addresses.
Foundation was set up using this as a guide.
Returns a JSON object with geolocations
array, which is the geolocations of the addresses in the order you provided them to the API, and an order
array giving the order in which these addresses should be visited (as array indices), which is the shortest route through them.

TODO
You'll need docker and docker-compose installed. Get the app built up and running on your machine with
docker-compose up
You should always run rails
commands, gem install
s on top of Docker.
docker-compose run web rails
If you install some packages with bundler, you'll want to rebuild with
docker-compose run web bundle install && docker-compose up --build
If you run into this error booting up the server:
standard_init_linux.go:211: exec user process caused "no such file or directory"
Docker runs into issues with Dockerfiles with CRLF line endings on Windows. Before you clone this repo, force git to not change the line endings with:
git config --global core.autocrlf false
Then you should be able to clone the repo and boot up the server.
Using rails commands to generate stuff on Linux using Docker assigns the new files root permissions. Fix this by running this snippet from the root of the app before you start working on those files:
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER .
We use Heroku to host the production release. It's at communitytech-tsp.herokuapp.com.
Docker images for the app are deployed to run on Heroku, not by using a traditional git push
.
Make sure you're logged in to Heroku's container registry. If you logged in already, you can skip this step.
heroku container:login
Build the image for the app, and push it to the container registry.
heroku container:push web
Release the image for the app.
heroku container:release web
Visit the app on Heroku to make sure everything is working.
heroku open
One-liner for building and releasing.
heroku container:push web && heroku container:release web
