Bike Buddy¶ ↑
Bike Buddy is a web-based application to help new Austin-area bike commuters find a “buddy” who will help them learn to commute by bicycle safely and effectively, and for experienced bike commuters to offer their interest to be a buddy.
The system is built with Rails 3.2.
This note describes how to setup the application for development.
Status / Issues¶ ↑
The implemented functions are:
-
New user registration
-
Password change

Password recovery (untested)
-

Logout
-
Initiate contact to potential buddy
The functions left to do are:

Deficiencies:
-
Haven't tested email confirmation. (I've been manually enabling the new account by going into the database and setting the “users.confirmed_at” field for the new record.)
-
Haven't tested password recovery.
-
Design (site is unstyled)
Installation¶ ↑
-
Download this package to your local system.
-
The “device” authentication package requires a server Javascript engine to run. This one dependency is not specified in the “Gemfile” because it could vary, depending on system type.
For Linux systems, you can install a Javascript engine by running:
# gem install therubyracerFor more information on usable JavaScript engines, see:
https://github.com/sstephenson/execjs
-
Ensure required Ruby modules (gems) are present. Change into the project directory and run:
$ bundle install
-
Initialize the database. Run:
$ rake db:migrate
-
Start the server. Run:
$ rails server
-
The app should now be running. Visit:
http://localhost:3000/
