# Data Collection App This is the codebase for the Ruby/Rails app that will handle the submission of Lettings and Sales of Social Housing in England data. ## Required Setup Pre-requisites - Ruby - Rails - Postgres ### Setup Quickstart Copy the `.env.example` to `.env` and replace the database credentials with your local postgres user credentials. Create the database `rake db:create` Start the rails server ``` rails s ``` This starts the rails server on localhost:3000 or using Docker ``` docker-compose build docker-compose run --rm app rails db:create docker-compose up ``` This exposes the rails server on localhost:8080. Note docker-compose runs the production docker image (RAILS_ENV=production) as the Dockerfile doesn't include development gems to keep the image size down. ### Infrastructure The cloud infrastructure running this application is set up using the [infrastructure repository](https://github.com/communitiesuk/mhclg-data-collection-beta-infrastructure) ### Single log submission The form for this is driven by a json file in `/config/forms/{start_year}_{end_year}.json` The JSON should follow the structure: ``` { form_type: [lettings/sales] start_year: yyyy end_year: yyyy sections: { snake case section name string: { label: string, subsections: { snake case subsection name string: { label: string, pages: { snake case page name string: { header: string, description: string, questions: { snake case question name string: { header: string, hint_text: string, type: [text / numeric / radio / select / date ], min: integer, (numeric only), max: integer, (numeric only), step: integer (numeric only), answer_options: { (select and radio only) "0": string, "1": string } } } } } } } } } } ``` Assumptions made by the format: - All forms have at least 1 section - All sections have at least 1 subsection - All subsections have at least 1 page - All pages have at least 1 question - The ActiveRecord case log model has a field for each question name (must match) - Text not required by a page/question such as a header or hint text should be passed as an empty string
