A practice designed to learn more about Rack middleware and Ricky Gervais Quotes.
Rack is a minimal and modular interface for developing web applicatons. Rack middleware is a extension that sits between an HTTP request and an application, thus the middleware term. You goal is to create a Rack middleware that serves random quotes. The middleware, when complete, can be inserted into an existing application to provide a fun set of quotes. A sample fixture has been added for quotes by Ricky Gervais.
- Use Bundler for gem dependencies
- Adhere to the standards of Rack and middleware
- Code is tested with RSpec
- Quotes come from examples in fixtures directory
Request: /quote
Response Body: -example quote-
Format: text/plain
As mentioned, write all tests with the Rspec framework. A testing harness should execute using the following command.
$ rspec spec
Do not test with an HTTP web interface, only test the library methods and how they would respond if embedded in a web application.

- Setup continuous integration with Magnum CI, Travis CI, or Semaphore
- Integrate quotes via an online API
