DIAL A MECHANIC (DAM) BACKEND

By Brian Wangila

Description

DAM is a single-page website that links motorist with car problems to their desired mechanics. The mechanics can be found all over the country, and in major cities and ready to help a stranded motorist get back on their journey. The site also offers mechanics an avenue to get clients and enhance their skills. The mechanics being situated all over the country make it easier for a motorist to get help as soon as they dial a number and explain their situation. This is a backed stack server for DAM with SINATRA Ruby. Follow the below instructions to clone or contribute to this backend server.

Features

• Two models - Mechanics and Reviews
• Has a one-to-many relationship
• Uses ActiveRecord to handle the db
• Has API routes in Sinatra that handle all the CRUD actions for the Active Record models.
