# 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.
Install the dependencies
`bundle install`
Create the database
`rake db:create`
Run the database migrations
`rake db:migrate`
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
This application is running on [Gov PaaS](https://www.cloud.service.gov.uk/). To deploy you need to:
- Contact your organisation manager to get an account in `dluhc-core` organization and in the relevant spaces (sandbox/production).
- Install the cloudfoundry cli https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/cf-cli/install-go-cli.html
- Login
`cf login -a api.london.cloud.service.gov.uk -u `
- Set your deployment target (sandbox/production)
`cf target -o dluhc-core -s `
- Deploy
`cf push dluhc-core --strategy rolling`. This will use the [manifest file](manifest.yml)
Once the app is deployed:
- Get a rails console
`cf ssh dluhc-core -t -c "/tmp/lifecycle/launcher /home/vcap/app 'rails console' ''"`
### CI/CD
When a commit is made to `main` the following Github action jobs are triggered:
1. Test - RSpec runs our test suite
2. Deploy - If the Test stage passes, this deploys the app to our Gov PaaS account using the cloudfoundry cli
When a pull request is opened to `main` only the test stage runs.
### 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 / checkbox / date ],
min: integer, (numeric only),
max: integer, (numeric only),
step: integer (numeric only),
answer_options: { (checkbox 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
