Getting started

To get started with the app, first clone the repo and cd into the directory or alternaitively Github Desktop:

$ git clone https://github.com/stoiclb/elaka.git
$ cd elaka

Then install the needed packages (while skipping any Ruby gems needed only in production):

• Install Yarn v1.22.10
• Install PostgreSQL for Mac, Linux and Windows

$ gem install bundler -v 2.2.11
$ bundle _2.2.11_ config set --local
$ bundle install

(If you run into any installation issues or missing dependencies, refer to the this book by Michael Hartl.

Next, migrate the database:

$ rake db:migrate

I did not implement any automated tests, so skip the following testing stage:

$ rails test
$ rails db:seed

Run the app in a local server:

$ rails server
or 
$ rails s

You can then register a new user or log into an existing account.

Deploying

To deploy the sample app to production, you’ll need a Heroku account (or any hosting platform of your choice).

The full production app includes several advanced features, including sending email with MailGun. As a result, deploying the full sample app can be rather challenging.

$ heroku create
$ git checkout updating-users
$ git push heroku updating-users:main
$ heroku run rails db:migrate
$ heroku run rails db:seed

Visiting the URL returned by the original heroku create should now show you the sample app running in production. As with the local version, you can then register a new user or log in as the sample administrative user with the email example@railstutorial.org and password foobar.
