Todo List Rails API

A simple todo list backend app that serves JSON data. Current functionality includes:

• CRUD operations for a todo item with attributes for title, order, and completion (boolean).
• RSpec test suite.
• That's it! That's all the functionality for now. There may be more features added in the future.

Ruby Version

This API was written and tested with Ruby 2.3.0

System Dependencies

• Rails 5.0.0.rc1
• Puma for app server
• Recommend using ActiveModel::Serializer instead of jbuilder. Just add to Gemfile:

gem 'active_model_serializers', '~> 0.10.0'

See Gemfile for other dependencies.
