Carpool Server

A Carpool System integrating Ruby On Rails and Google Calendar APIs on Heroku

Overview

This system helps carpool members stay up to date on their assignments by maintaining a group of individualized google calendars. The web server enables a carpool "manager" or "admin" to maintain route assignments and to drag and drop routes within a web based calendar interface. Upon any update, the appropriate calendars' events will get synchronized.

Features

Members need only know how to setup and integrate a google calendar to their device.
Multiple private calendars are auto-maintained:
- MyCarpool - showing every event for the MyCarpool carpool.
- MyOrg (MyName) - showing all events assigned to just that user and occurring within any carpool associated with MyOrganization.
Calendars are read-only and auto-managed by the server, so nothing to screw-up by anyone.

Route details are inserted within an event's description field:

Driver(s):
Jim LastName (555) 555-1111
_________ 4 Passengers: _________
Lucas LastName (555) 555 2222
Bodhi LastName (555)  555-3333
Marsha LastName (555) 555-4444
Julian LastName (555) 555-5555

Within week view, "Missing" button toggles a display showing "active" passengers without at least 2 rides within a day.
Members can now be set to "Resting" to temporarily disable them from participating in a carpool, but still allowing them to see the calendar.
All updates propagate almost instantaneously to all members.
Host for free on Heroku.
Drag and drop routes

Background

The system grew out of the need for a group of parents to orchestrate rides for their children to a distant school. The group initially decided that a volunteer carpool "Manager" should deal with all the scheduling and issues that come up via email and then send out a weekly schedule. As changes would occur throughout the week, the emails would fly.. Having more than 30 people on an email list and having to sift through all the special requests, and changes like "I can't drive Tuesday because...", "I'll pick up here instead", etc., became somewhat of a waste of time. Most would not just email the manager first to see if it could be resolved quietly. So lots of unnecessary communications were happening and the initial manual spreadsheet type of documentation would quickly get out of sync with reality, besides being tedious to maintain.

After trying to piggyback on top of some other more general outlining and task management type cloud based collaborative systems, and after realizing how low the bar really had to be, in order for carpool members to actually interact with any type of system, I rolled my own. It centers around having that same manager be responsible for sifting through the email requests, but provides a way for them to easily manage the changes via a drag and drop browser based calendar UI. The system maintains individualized google calendars for each user, whose events are updated and propagated in real time. This allows members of the carpool to feel confident that their responsibilities or needs are clear, regardless of whatever changes are going on.

In starting this project, I found that most carpool members won't want to do anything special or at all when it comes to new behaviors. That knocked out most process and workflow oriented semi-manual solutions. So the idea that the system should be as simple as possible and involve the members as little as possible, was the key take away for me and I hope a guiding principle as this project evolves.

Use of Google Accounts

Because these calendar events contain private information, such as names, phone #s, and addresses, it should be requested that all members provide a Google account for calendar access. These accounts are free and are now deeply integrated into most current devices. Using these accounts allows the system to utilize a common access control on these calendars. Members should be informed that it's not a requirement that they use gmail or google mail, just that they have one and that they've enabled the "Calendar" option for that account, within the Accounts Settings on their computer or device. This will allow the calendar to just automatically appear within whatever calendar app that they use for their scheduling. (one extra step for apple devices)

It is possible for members, who do not want to provide a gmail account email, to still be in the system. They just won't be able to have their Google calendar sync option enabled, so no calendars will get maintained for them.

Typical Workflow

The current workflow around which this system has been most tested, focuses on this single "manager" who actually interacts with the system. It's their job alone to use the UI to maintain the routes and transfer any new carpool changes from an email or casual conversation. Any changes done through the web UI, will automatically synchronize to the calendars.

Though it's currently possible for any member to login and manage their own data (3 roles currently exist, :admin, :manager, and peon), it's suggested that you stick to the Workflow scenario outlined below where a manager does most everything, just to stay within a more fully tested space.

The typical workflow goes like this:

Admin:

Complete Installation section below
use UI to assign a user as Manager for a carpool

Manager:

use UI to: tweak the name for the Organization and Carpool
add/update Members' names, phones, google based accounts (gMail / Google Apps)
add/update Locations

Admin:

For each Member with a google account, enable that user's google sync option.

Currently only the Admin has permission to toggle a user's google sync option. Enabling, immediately triggers an email from the google service account to that specific user, informing them of a new google shared calendar. The reason for this restriction by only Admin, is that you may not want managers to turn this option on and off a bunch of times, without being aware of the impact that it could have on members. The share notifications are automatically sent upon changing that option in the UI and appear in their email from a weird google email address. It's best to be careful if you want to have people adopt the system.

Manager:

update routes for the week

drag the mouse inside the calendar across a span of time. Right click an event to delete/copy/paste.

Send out an email saying, take a look in your calendars, everything look OK?

Users:

emails Manager and says my phone is wrong.

Manager:

update the user's phone number and the system will automatically update every route event that that user is in and update the new phone number within those routes' event description fields.

Installation

In order to get the carpool server running both locally and on Heroku, you'll need to have these components installed and configured:

Yarn with Node, NPM, and GIT, for javascript
Ruby on Rails 5.1 via a ruby version manager
Account for Heroku production hosting

Account for Managing Google APIs

Notes:
For local Development: I've used OSX and now [WSL on Windows](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/faq)

Be careful naming files and directories.  Git can be (is) configured to ignore case, so changes in case that are important can be ignored.  You should use git specific commands for mving (renaming) files if you run into issues.

Follow the setup for the following sections to complete Installation of the Carpool server. It will step you through setting up the various cloud accounts and configuring the server via credentials and execution of a few rake tasks that were created to ease the setup process.

Google API Setup

Create a new Google API Project
Under Library, Enable the following APIs:
- Google+ API
- Contacts API
Under Credentials, create 2 Service Accounts and download credentials as JSON
set MY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON within application.yml (:development and :production) with that JSON
Create 2 Oauth 2.0 Client IDs (name them "development" and "production") and save generated keys
update application.yml for:
- GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID
- GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET

These OAuth credentials are for server logins via google, which is not really necessary as you can login using username/password too.

Set the Callbacks

Local Dev should look something like this: (but name them "development" and "production")

Staging or Production should look like this:

Local Development Setup

Install and Obtain Postgres DB Credentials

Git carpool project

git clone https://github.com/JimW/carpool-on-rails.git

cd into the carpool's project folder
Copy config\application.yml.sample to config\application.yml
Generate new secrets and place into secret_key_base for all environments
```
rake secret
```
In application.yml set the following
- DATABASE_NAME (for dev)
- DATABASE_USERNAME (for dev)
- DATABASE_PASSWORD (for dev)
Rename db/development_sample directory to db/development
Edit db/development/seeds/seed_data.yml. Populate with only a single organization and a single Carpool. Leave the whole file as is if you're just starting off. Eventually you'll want to prepopulate it with valid google email accounts. Leave the Lobby entry alone as it needs to be named "Lobby".

Install Node :

sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy

Install Ruby
```
rbenv install 2.4.2
```

Install Bundler

gem install bundler
gem install nokogiri -- --use-system-libraries
bundle install

Install Forman Gem
```
gem install foreman
```

Install Yarn (see instructions for your OS):

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install yarn

Installing all the js dependencies
```
yarn
```
Reset DB and Delete all Google Calendars previously created by Service Account, Caution... Take a look inside this rake task. Within it, it calls aws:plant_seeds for storing the seed data on AWS S3 for use by Heroku, if it finds an AWS_S3_SEED_DIR_PATH path set within your ENV. Otherwise, the seeds.rb will just seed using data from db/seeds/development/seed_data.yml
```
bundle exec rake db:rebuild_dev
```
Start the local rails server
```
foreman start -f Procfile.dev
```

Web UI

Login using admin@xx.com at localhost:3000
Add or edit default users and assign one as "Manager" for a carpool
Update the Organization and Carpool details
Login as a Manager to test
Enable Google Sync on your account and for the Carpool as a whole

Google Calendar Sync Options

To actually have the system manage any Google Calendars, you need to enable the Google Calendar sync options in 2 places within the web interface.

Carpool edit screen there is an option there. Toggling this option will create a single calendar to be shared with each member in the carpool that has their option turned on. This will initiate an email from google informing them of the shared calendar. Turning it off will remove the calendar. Each time you do this, a separate calendar will get created and another
Within a user's profile, a Gmail address should be used, which the carpool server uses to create and manage 2 carpool related calendars. One that contains just the routes assigned to that user and across all carpools of the organization and a single shared calendar, that contains the entire schedule for the carpool group. Usually a member would only have viewable one or the other.

So if user is a member of 2 carpools within an organization, "Commute Carpool" and "Basketball Carpool" for "dTechOrg", they will have 3 read-only shared calendars made available to them by the system, if both these google sync options are turned on. Turning off the sync, will remove any of these calendars from their google account.

Amazon S3 Setup

Setup an Amazon S3 Bucket and associate within a user's credentials that you want to use for the carpool via IAM, the following policy for that bucket:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:PutObject",
                "s3:GetObject",
                "s3:GetObjectVersion",
                "s3:DeleteObject",
                "s3:DeleteObjectVersion"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:s3:::yourbucketnamewithnospecialcharacters/*"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

You'll need to set the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY for this user within ENVs mentioned below.

Heroku Setup

Heroko Staging Server

Install Heroku Command Line Interface

(If using Windows WSL, install it for Windows and use Powershell to interact with Heroku)
cd into project directory
Create Heroku Project (This create a project on Heroku and adds a branch named staging for you in git)
```
heroku create YOUR_UNIQUE_PROJECT_NAME --remote staging
```
Provision a hobby-dev plan database:
```
heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev --remote staging
```
or

Under Resources in Heroku dashboard, search for and add "Heroku Postgres" Database and add "Hobby Dev - Free"

Enable Ruby and Node on your Heroku project by specifying buildpacks:

heroku buildpacks:set  https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-multi.git --remote staging

Push Production secrets from your application.yml to your Heroku app's environment variables (untested as this won't work in Windows WSL)

figaro heroku:set -a YOUR_HEROKU_APP_NAME -e production

Under Settings, Reveal Config Vars, Set these ENV Vars as follows (see sample application.yml):

SECRET_KEY_BASE: "xx"
RAILS_ENV: "production"
RACK_ENV: "production" # Heroku wants this
RAILS_SERVE_STATIC_FILES: "enabled"

DEVISE_SECRET_KEY: can use SECRET_KEY_BASE
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID: <Paste downloaded Credentials>
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET: <Paste downloaded Credential>
MY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON: <Paste entire text from downloaded SERVICE ACCOUNT JSON Credentials>

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: '<>'
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: '<>'

AWS_S3_BUCKET: 'yourbucketnamewithnospecialcharacters'
AWS_S3_SEED_DIR_PATH: 'seeds/heroku_staging or seeds/heroku_production'

DATABASE_URL: "AUTO SET BY HEROKU"
RAILS_MAX_THREADS: 1
MIN_THREADS: 1

DB_POOL: 2
LANG: "en_US.UTF-8"
SITE_ROOT_URL:"https://WHATEVER" (Added this for any future issue, see zquestz/omniauth-google-oauth2)

You could also potentially use the Heroku API to push these all up at once using curl.. or use a few of these for the various configs above:

heroku config:set MIN_THREADS=1 RAILS_MAX_THREADS=1 --remote staging

Push the project to Heroku
```
git push staging master
```
Note: use this when pushing dev branch to heroku: alias pushdev='git push -f staging Dev:master' because heroku wants that branch named master

Reset Production Database (be careful..)

heroku pg:reset DATABASE --remote staging

Update Production DB

heroku run rake db:migrate --remote staging

Push local seed data to AWS (only do this when changing seed data).

The following command will:
1. convert: db/seeds/development/heroku_staging/seed_data.yml to json
2. push json to AWS_S3_SEED_DIR_PATH for use by Heroku.
```
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake aws:plant_seeds
```
Look inside this task for altering source seed file paths. Once you've done it once, you're set.
Seed the Heroku DB (be careful..)
```
heroku run rake db:seed --remote staging
```
If AWS_S3_SEED_DIR_PATH env is set within Heroku, seeds.rb will look for seed data you just planted on AWS.
Navigate to your heroku project's url and it should work.

Heroko Forking a Production Server

Either fork your existing staging app on Heroku (useful if you want to copy a Postgresql db without upgrading) or go through the prior steps again for --remote Production
Ensure your ENVs are unique for production warning: once a service account is used in production, stick with a credential associated with that same account. Otherwise you'll need to toggle all the calendars to regenerate any events and calendars

System Details

The system manages and tracks the relationships between these entities:

Image available in support_docs/carpoolGraph.graphml via yed-live

The real value of this system, besides maintaining the relational data, is that any changes made within or between the Organizations, Carpools, Users, Routes, and Locations, can trigger updates within these relationships. Currently, these triggers are focused on initiating calls to the Google Calendar APIs, in order to modify the associated calendar events. Having a base system like this allows for many opportunities for expansion and integration with other cloud services.

The following are some of the components used in this project:

ActiveAdmin
FullCalendar
Pundit and Rolify gems are used for restricting access
Backend Jobs via Active Job and sucker_punch
- Keep the # of threads(workers) < 3 for Heroku free.
Some webcal calendar support, available via a calendar page that is available to non-managers, is in the code but it's not used. I gave up on the idea of having the server serve up calendars directly to members, as I was unable to reliably ensure people's calendar update frequencies within whatever calendar app they use. Could be once a week.. There is a app/admin calendar.rb file that serves this up. It's menu is set to false now so it won't show up unless a peon logs in.
Concept of Lobby and Organizations is incomplete so I disabled org editing for now. Idea was for every member of an org to be in a lobby at least, so they can at least exist outside of a carpool. Probably easier to just install this server for each organization. So for now, Just use a single Organization.

Google API Details

Google Developer Account for access to Google APIs
You can look at the Error events within the Google API Dashboard.
Google does not really delete calendar events, but marks it as cancelled (because google remembers everything you give it..), keep that in mind if you reuse an id which will happen if you refresh the development or staging databases but don't delete and recreate any generated google calendars. The event_ids that are sent to google will restart at 1 and when you try and insert it will fail with an "already exists" error (although it's been marked as deleted). I'm not really passing in a guaranteed to be unique universal resource ID right now, but it's not really necessary if you run the rake task, rebuild_dev, that will reset the db AND also delete all the google calendars. A work around was to retry as an update for that particular type of failed insert.. The code for doing this is remmed out. Instead of deleting the event, it moves them to a trash calendar. Not really important now if you use the rebuild_dev task while developing, just saying..
- bundle exec rake gs:delete_all_calendars can be used to wipe out all the calendars within an environment's service account. It is called within rebuild_dev and should be done whenever you reset the db.

Staging vs Production

from Heroku

"It may be tempting to create another custom environment such as “staging” and create a config/environments/staging.rb and deploy to a Heroku app with RAILS_ENV=staging. This is not a good practice. Instead we recommend always running in production mode and modifying any behavior by setting your config vars.

...

Your “staging” app or any other custom environments should be run with RAILS_ENV=production to minimize differences in behavior. Environment variables should be used to configure your application to achieve different behavior when desired instead of a custom environment."

So fork a project in Heroku and make sure all the Google credentials are unique between both Staging and Production, but keep both set with RAILS_ENV = production.

The google Service Account holds everyone's calendars, so be sure to only put the Staging credentials within the production section of application.yml. This is important when you run any rake tasks below that manage google calendars or the DB directly.

Special Rake Tasks

Resetting Google Calendars on STAGING

Executing the following from the local command line, will delete all google calendars associated with the google service account associated with staging and not production, as long as your production ENVs are those of staging. Don't keep real production related ENVs in your local application.yml, only staging.

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake gs:delete_all_calendars

Setting Seed Data for Heroku

if ENV['AWS_S3_SEED_DIR_PATH'] is set, this task will translate: db/seeds/development/heroku_staging/seed_data.yml to json and push to that AWS path.

RAILS_ENV={development or production} bundle exec rake aws:plant_seeds

Resetting the Local Dev DB and Google Calendars

This task will reset and seed the Development Database and destroy all calendars associated with the Development Google Service Account. The seed file is extracted from the AWS S3 directory defined in ENV['AWS_S3_SEED_DIR_PATH']

bundle exec rake db:rebuild_dev

Careful when doing this, as it will force any members who have already associated their carpool calendars within their phones, to have to do it again.

NOTES

The server is not really tested for allowing multiple users to log into the server themselves. Though a most of the logic is in place, it's currently intended for a single "manager" or "admin" to manage everything. Extra code is necessary if you want a non-manager to be able to edit just their own routes and info. It might be easier to create a separate UI for them, as their interactions will be simpler, "need/no_need for ride" on "date", etc.

Routines

Route Templates were never really used, but is mostly there and working. The idea was to easily turn a typical (:special) instance into a template and appear within week view at the top of the calendar within "Routines". If that routine is implemented, it will be green and it's instance will be green. If that instances is altered it will turn yellow. If the instance is dragged to another day, it will be broken from the routine and appear as a non-template instance (a :special) and is orangish-red. Currently the Routine itself is treated as a regular instance in the DB, so does not appear in subsequent weeks and is why it's incomplete in it's implementation. I choose to do away for the idea for now, as it is pretty easy to just drag and drop routes from previous week (when looking at the calendar in month view mode). Doing so will retain that route's actual pickup time.

But once the concept of a Routine is in place, scheduling for following weeks will be easier and being able to act on special situations will be more possible (auto SMS/mail the details of exceptions to only those affected)

Miscellaneous

Batch actions (for Delete) should work on heroku, but not locally for some JSy reason.

TODO

Convert all these to github issues
"We're sorry, but something went wrong." when trying to log into app with a google account not in the carpool system
Add Google Analytics config just for fun
If already logged in, being sent to read-only calendar page instead of Routes page
Bundler warning when pushing to heroku, version mismatch
Organization Pages
- Org Crashes on Delete (use just a single organization for now)
- Add current_org to User maybe within organization_users (useful for Admin at least right now)
- Enable multiple Orgs? Not sure I want to scale that far..
- Renaming org.title_short won't propagate to calendars
Carpool Page
- Add a has_one lobby to Carpool instead of all this "Lobby" stuff in the code, but make sure that association is a carpool with "Lobby" as the name, fix up all the Lobby code accordingly
- upon deletion of Carpool, need to disable google sync first.
- Carpool model -> short_name, title_short (pick one..)
- Give more resolution into Access rights, allow for manger for specific carpool
- Renaming Carpool will not rename associated google calendars' titles
- Renaming carpool won't propagate to calendars, also it's using title vs title_short in calendars
Route Page
- Feature of assigning multiple drivers, was meant for implementing backups. Maybe Disable in UI until feature fully is implemented.
Members Page
UI
- Should add some kind of "are you sure" when deleting events, especially in batch
- Set_current_carpool should be available as dropdown at highlevel in UI
- Route Templates is only partially implemented. Need to think this through more
  - Have Routine must be associated with day of the week and it's instances behave in a way that makes sense relative to their actual date instance. There can be multiple instances with varying states. get_events
- Maybe Change the peon role to not even let them update their own info
- In User UI, Make Role a radiobox instead of checkbox
- For Admin role, add access to some GCal Service Utils from Carpool UI
- Show Roles in User index
- Add configuration option for # days in week (5 vs 7), starting day, etc
- Want to change text to "Log in with Google". Not sure Why Devise views are not able to be overridden.
Google Calendars
- Add ability to track gcal errors. (Surprisingly, there are few to none) Need better capture and recovery
  - to_be_deleted? for Org, Carpool, Route. Only after all related google events are deleted, should they be actually destroyed.
    - t.boolean "to_be_deleted", default: false
    - Will need to shift some before_destroy type code into:
      - cancel_route_events, cancel_org_carpools, cancel_carpool_routes.
      - Add check for !to_be_deleted? everywhere they're being pulled up
- Add calendar service utils for Calendar Service Account (All these should be inside workers/jobs)
  - ListAllCalendars
  - DelAllCalendars
  - DelAllEvents(Cal), I think there was a way to actually delete them for real? Maybe not, it's google...
- Be sure no throttling is enforced with Google APIs (important maybe during batch deletes)
- Add google batch to more Jobs, constraint is that each must all work on single calnedar
Tests and Rakes
- GCal services
DB
- Enabling users with google_sync option when seeding db, probably does not work. need to verify and fix
Email
- Add ability to send email
- Put the following member instructions into a template email and send to user upon being added to a carpool:

blah blah

If you don’t use Gmail for mail, you don’t need to, you can just enable the calendar component of your google account on your computer or phone.

By default 2 calendar shares were made available to you.  One contains the entire carpool schedule with everyone’s assignments and another with your name in it’s title, contains just your assignments.   There is nothing you have to do to accept the shared calendars.  The email you received with a weird google address is simply a notification that is automatically sent, informing you that you now have a shared calendar available to you.  If it annoys you having these calendars, simply disable or delete them and they will be gone from your google calendar.  If you later need them again though, let me know and I push a button to delete and recreate them for you.  You’re better off just disabling the calendar that you don’t want to see.

If you want access to a google calendar via an apple device, you‘ll need to go [here](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/syncselect?pli=1): This makes the additional carpool related google calendars available on your iPhone.  Enable BOTH of the carpool calendars here.  Then just enable/disable the ones you want within your iPhone.  You probably want both at least available on your phone.

Worker Jobs
- Implement after_perform to update the status in DB
- Need to break more of the blocking loops into seperate Jobs Not sure how many job threads a free Heroku instance can handle. I think it's only 2.
- Heroku Free has limitations on it's extra process that is now free. Keep eye on this. Would like to use AWS SQS instead of RAM based stuff.

Keep it simple for members
Some kind of auto code formating ??? like VS has? Tricky right now with ruby on WSL and Windows editors.
