About The Project

Please visit the Carbon Knight Front End repository and check out the readme there for a more in depth look at this project!

This microservice is able to take in information about a particular trip and will provide the approximate carbon used for that trip in kilograms along with the cost to offset that carbon. It does this by recieving query parameters from the Carbon Knight Backend, makes a call to the Cloverly API using these parameters, and then packages up the API response and sends that back to the Carbon Knight Backend in the proper format.

This micro services uses the Cloverly API. Read the API documentation here

Getting Started

To properly use this application you will need to set up and configure three repositories. Follow the Configuration directions in each repository to get Carbon Knight running locally! Alternatively, check out the production application here!!!

Configuration

Setting Up the Cloverly-Microservice

Clone this repo git clone https://github.com/Carbon-Knight/cloverly_microservice.git
Enter the directory it was cloned into cd cloverly_microservice
Run bundle install to install gems and dependencies
At this point, please visit Configuration Part II to get the full Carbon Knight Application up and running locally

Usage

To view a sample response, after at least completing the configuration steps up to and including #3,

In the command line run ruby lib/cloverly_microservice.rb This will spin up your local server.
In your browser paste in http://localhost:4567/api/v1/carbonfootprint?fuel_efficiency=25&trip_distance=80 and you will see this response:

{
  "data": {
    "equivalent_carbon_in_kg": 28.444,
    "cloverly_offset_cost": {
        "currency": "USD",
        "total": 0.31
    }
  }
}

The two parameters used in this call are fuel_efficiency and trip_distance. From here you can edit these two parameters within the url to obtain your desired response!

Testing

RSpec was used for the testing of this project.

Cloverly Microservice has been fully tested. To view the test coverage;

Once inside your terminal within the Cloverly Microservice directory run the following command.

open coverage

This will open up a folder with an index.html file. Clicking on this file will show you a list of all the lines of code within this repository, and whether they have been tested or not.

Additionally, running bundle exec rspec will show you the quick summary of the test coverage in this application.

Both open coverage and bundle exec rspec work inside each repository of the Carbon Knight application.
