API in Rails

API in Rails

(Cheatsheet with no coding or local installations needed in approximately 15 minutes)

##Intro

Here are some instructions to build and deploy a RESTful JSON API. Backed by Rails and a SQL database (postgresql), deployed to heroku, and publically accessible. There are 3 quick & easy steps:

  1. use prelang.com to scaffold a rails app on your github account, based on a data model (entity relationship model) of your choice
  2. use cloud9.io to access the code and prepare it to be deployed to Heroku.
  3. Heroku: a platform as a service (PaaS) that enables developers to build, run, and operate applications entirely in the cloud.
