FarMar: The Farmers' Market Finder

In this assignment we will be creating an application to look up farmers markets and their related vendors, products, and sales. We will use CSV files as our database.

Learning Goals

  • Reinforce and practice all of the Ruby and programming concepts we've covered in class
    • Practice writing specs and using TDD
    • Practice working with raw data and using it to create instances of a Ruby class
    • Practice using Enumerable methods to work with collections of data or instances
    • Practice organizing and working with multiple files in a single project.

Project Setup and Expectations

Project Structure

Create a Ruby class to represent each kind of data in the support/ directory. In the Product Data section, there are detailed descriptions of each csv file contents and its relation to other objects in the system. Your implementation will have class methods to handle finding, sorting, and collecting the data into instances representing individual rows of data. Each of those instances will have instance methods to provide details about the object.

Encapsulation

To manage our data classes we will use a file named /far_mar.rb. It should look something like:

# gems your project needs
require 'csv'

# our namespace module
module FarMar; end

# all of our data classes that live in the module
require 'lib/farmar_market'
# ...require all needed classes

Each class you build will live in the /lib directory, and belong to the FarMar module:

# lib/farmar_market.rb
class FarMar::Market
  # Your code goes here
end

The module provides a namespace for the application. A namespace ensures the classes we create will not 'collide' or 'overlap' with a class that could exist elsewhere in a codebase (like in a gem).

For example, Sale is a very generic class name that could very realistically exist in many codebases. Creating a module called FarMar allows us to specify which Sale we're talking about; FarMar::Sale is much more explicit and likely to be unique.

Specs & Testing

You must have 90% test coverage from simplecov. The HTML files that are generated from simplecov should not be included in your git repository. Tests should be in the form of minitest specs. Complete the necessary boilerplate to create a Rakefile and spec_helper.rb so that all of your tests run when you run $ rake from the project root.

Project Data

FarMar::Market

Each individual market has many vendors associated with it. The FarMar::Market data, in order in the CSV, consists of:

  1. ID - (Fixnum) a unique identifier for that market
  2. Name - (String) the name of the market (not guaranteed unique)
  3. Address - (String) street address of the market
  4. City - (String) city in which the market is located
  5. County - (String) county in which the market is located
  6. State - (String) state in which the market is located
  7. Zip - (String) zipcode in which the market is located

FarMar::Vendor

Each vendor belongs to a market, the market_id field refers to the FarMar::Market ID field. Each vendor has many products for sell. The FarMar::Vendor data, in order in the CSV, consists of:

  1. ID - (Fixnum) uniquely identifies the vendor
  2. Name - (String) the name of the vendor (not guaranteed unique)
  3. No. of Employees - (Fixnum) How many employees the vendor has at the market
  4. Market_id - (Fixnum) a reference to which market the vendor attends

FarMar::Product

Each product belongs to a vendor. The vendor_id field refers to the FarMar::Vendor ID field. The FarMar::Product data, in order in the CSV, consists of:

  1. ID - (Fixnum) uniquely identifies the product
  2. Name - (String) the name of the product (not guaranteed unique)
  3. Vendor_id - (Fixnum) a reference to which vendor sells this product

FarMar::Sale

Each sale belongs to a vendor AND a product. The vendor_id and product_id fields refer to the FarMar::Vendor and FarMar::Product ID fields, respectively. The FarMar::Sale data, in order in the CSV, consists of:

  1. ID - (Fixnum) uniquely identifies the sale
  2. Amount - (Fixnum) the amount of the transaction, in cents (i.e., 150 would be $1.50)
  3. Purchase_time - (Datetime) when the sale was completed
  4. Vendor_id - (Fixnum) a reference to which vendor completed the sale
  5. Product_id - (Fixnum) a reference to which product was sold

Requirements

Baseline

Project Setup

  1. You'll be working as an individual on this project.
  2. Fork the Ada-C6 repo to your Github account.
  3. Clone your fork to your projects directory, and cd into the cloned repo.
  4. Create a gemset for your project
  5. $ echo 2.3.0 > .ruby-version
  6. $ echo farmar > .ruby-gemset
  7. $ cd .
  8. Install necessary gems via Terminal:
  • $ gem install minitest-reporters
  • $ gem install simplecov

Baseline Requirements

  • Create a class for each of the data types listed above. Each class should be a part of the FarMar module.
  • You should be able to create instances of these classes that know about their associated data file.
  • Create your far_mar.rb file which will bring together all classes created in the previous step.
  • Complete the boilerplate necessary for testing. You should be able to $ rake from the project root to run your specs. Have at least one spec to verify this setup before submitting your baseline.
  • Once you have completed your baseline, you must submit a pull-request and get it approved by an instructor.

Primary Requirements

For each of the data classes build the following methods:

  1. self.all: returns a collection of instances, representing all of the objects described in the CSV
  2. self.find(id): returns an instance of the object where the value of the id field in the CSV matches the passed parameter.

Additional FarMar::Market Methods

  1. #vendors: returns a collection of FarMar::Vendor instances that are associated with the market by the market_id field.

Additional FarMar::Vendor Methods

  1. #market: returns the FarMar::Market instance that is associated with this vendor using the FarMar::Vendor market_id field
  2. #products: returns a collection of FarMar::Product instances that are associated by the FarMar::Product vendor_id field.
  3. #sales: returns a collection of FarMar::Sale instances that are associated by the vendor_id field.
  4. #revenue: returns the the sum of all of the vendor's sales (in cents)
  5. self.by_market(market_id): returns all of the vendors with the given market_id

Additional FarMar::Product Methods

  1. #vendor: returns the FarMar::Vendor instance that is associated with this vendor using the FarMar::Product vendor_id field
  2. #sales: returns a collection of FarMar::Sale instances that are associated using the FarMar::Sale product_id field.
  3. #number_of_sales: returns the number of times this product has been sold.
  4. self.by_vendor(vendor_id): returns all of the products with the given vendor_id

Additional FarMar::Sale Methods

  1. #vendor: returns the FarMar::Vendor instance that is associated with this sale using the FarMar::Sale vendor_id field
  2. #product: returns the FarMar::Product instance that is associated with this sale using the FarMar::Sale product_id field
  3. self.between(beginning_time, end_time): returns a collection of FarMar::Sale objects where the purchase time is between the two times given as arguments

Optional Requirements: Part I

FarMar::Market Methods

  1. #products returns a collection of FarMar::Product instances that are associated to the market through the FarMar::Vendor class.
  2. self.search(search_term) returns a collection of FarMar::Market instances where the market name or vendor name contain the search_term. For example FarMar::Market.search('school') would return 3 results, one being the market with id 75 (Fox School Farmers FarMar::Market).
  3. #prefered_vendor: returns the vendor with the highest revenue
  4. #prefered_vendor(date): returns the vendor with the highest revenue for the given date
  5. #worst_vendor: returns the vendor with the lowest revenue
  6. #worst_vendor(date): returns the vendor with the lowest revenue on the given date

FarMar::Vendor Methods

  1. self.most_revenue(n) returns the top n vendor instances ranked by total revenue
  2. self.most_items(n) returns the top n vendor instances ranked by total number of items sold
  3. self.revenue(date) returns the total revenue for that date across all vendors
  4. #revenue(date) returns the total revenue for that specific purchase date and vendor instance

FarMar::Product Methods

  1. self.most_revenue(n) returns the top n product instances ranked by total revenue

Optional Requirements: Part II

For Each Data Class:

  • Write additional rspec tests for any methods in the data classes that don't already have test coverage.
  • self.find_by_x(match): where x is an attribute, returns a single instance whose x attribute (case-insensitive) equals the match parameter. For instance, FarMar::Vendor.find_by_name("windler inc") could find a FarMar::Vendor with name attribute "windler inc" or "Windler Inc".
  • self.find_all_by_x(match): works just like find_by_x but returns a collection containing all possible matches. For example FarMar::Market.find_by_state("WA") could return all of the FarMar::Market objects with "WA" in their state field.

Try some inheritance or some composition

  • Inheritance: Create a new class that defines the shared/duplicated methods (i.e., find, all). Update your data classes to inherit this class .
  • Composition with a Mixin: Create a new module that defines the duplicated methods (i.e., find, all). Update your data classes to mixin this module.
